(By H. E. Davis, of Los Angeles Min
ing Bureau)
According to my conclusions after
somewhat extended investigation
OF the district, coupled with devel
opments of the past few weeks, l ann
inclined to believe that the Vidal
section in the northeastern corner of
Riverside and the southeastern cor
nor of Sam Bernardino counties, is
destmed to be one of the heavy pro
Gucing mining districts of the south
west. This section is just across
the Colorado river from Parker A riz
and at the same time the Vidal dis
trlcf is developed l expect to see
very Important developments in
the Parker district. In fact the two
districts should be recognized as one,
as the formation appears to be sim
liar, and the geological and minera1o-
g1cal conditions which made for ore
deposition on one side of the river
seem to apply to the other also. The
depression in this flows the Colorado
river, evidently having been formed
about the same time that the noun
tains on either side were formed
This district is rich in gold, silver,
copper, lead, iron and manganese ores
and large deposits of gypsum are also
to be found there Hundreds of tons
OF ore have been shipped during the
past few months from this district to
the Hayden smelter and more than
a score of prospectors and small OPP
orators are at this time steadily on
gaged in development work. as a
result of which they are, making
small but steady shipments to then
Hayden smelter
The ore is found in fissure veins
IL highly metamorphosed sedimen-
tary plutOnic igneous formation, and
this formation, coupled with the char
acter of the ores and of the vein fill
ing, indicates that the ore bodies
are permanent and will continue to
enormous depth. The ore extends to
the surface, however, and shipments
of hdgh-grade are being made at
depths ranging from l to 100 feet
The success Of the prospeet0rs
who have been working in this dis
trict during the Last few months has
caused enormous activity i'm the dis
trict, and aus a result of this work a
of important discoveries of
copper, gold and silver ores
have been recorded during the past
few days, and number of important
transfers of property have also been
made. Several concerns are starting
to do development work on a very
extensive scale, and mining men gen
orally are beginning to sit UP and
take notice of the Vidal-Park
district. Most of these properties
have been operated during the last
year or SO by only two or three men,
and their success has been phenorn-

cial. He is now serving his second

seven years. The office he now oc-
cupies is the first one he ever held
Previous to this, however, he served
as bOokkeeper i'm the treasurer's of
flee under Peter B. Hodges for five
years.
His ability to manage the recorders
office has been demonstrated during
the past five years, during which
time the business of the office has
practically doubled. No matter, how
ever, how large the volume of bust
ness he has been able to look after
lit im first-class style and with a
promptness which is unusual i'm such
offices. He. is not only painstaking,
but himself and efficient deputy
Miss Jennie Polh ANUS, have the
faculty of accommodating the public
to fault and have made many warm
friends on this score since they have
been in the recorders office. If Mr..
Hodges succeeds in his present am
bition he will continue to render the
people of Yuma county service
which is perfectly satisfactory in
every way.
Mr.. Hodges has a wide acquaint>
ance i'm this county. and at primary
time will be strongly supported in
