A strike that is phenomenal in
many ways has been made by Peter
j. Brennan on the foothills three and
one half miles north of Thorne.
Before leaving for Lodi, where par
ty OF prospective buyers are waiting
for him relative to his Lodi property,
Pete thought he would send sam
pie of ore from his Logan claim to
the assayer at Reno. Though the
ore showed no visible gold nor would
it pan color, it gave returns of
over 400 ounces of the precious met
al, only trace of silver being noted.
Pete was indeed a surprised man and
being skeptical of the assay result,
dispatched two more samples to re-
assure himself of the fact that ii
screw had not got loose somewhere.
These samples are now in the
hands of the assayer.
As there is little likelihood of a
mistake having been made, the resi-
dents at the railroad station hied
themselves TO the foothills and located
the choice claims.
Agent Radcliffe and Jos. Derig,
who secured ground adjoining the
strike property, also sent samples to
Reno for corroboration of the origin
al assay. T. A. Maher secured a
claim with an outcropping Identical
to the rich ore and is satisfied with
b;c ,,ortion

Big Shipment of Highgrade
From Luckyboy

Adams & Miller's big team is en-
gagged in hauling shipment of high

something over 60 tons, running
about $3.50 to the ton. There are ter
sets of leasers on the mine, and all of
them contributed to this shipment
with the exception of Peterson and

Ore From Gold Pen
Worth $40 a Pound

j. II, Miller, Superintendent of the
Gold Pen Company, returned We'd
nesday from his tri-weekly visit to
the property. Mr.. Miller brought
with him number of samples of the
ore being taken from the mine.
Experts with the pan got busy
Thursday, and great was the aston
ishment at the results obtained. The
results of the paintings were various
ly estimated at from So to $50
pound.
Mr.. Miller informs the Bulletin
that shaft had been sunk 160 feet
on the property some yeers ago by
Tex Rickard, who had run through
this rich ore and never knew it, The
present management is STOPPING this
ore from the shaft. The rich vein is
on the fooG wall of the ledge, and is
about two feet in width, while the
main ledge is 20 feet wide and gives
values of better than 800 per ton.
A shipment of the high grade is
now being sacked and the returns
will no doubt prove the Gold Pen to
be the richest goli proposition on
the coast.

PETER BRENNEN GETS $4,000
ASSAY FROM THORNE CLAIMS

The original sample of ore was
taken from foot yein at depth of
about 10 feet and practically repre-
sents the entire ledge. 1t was a
mixture of brown chalcedony, hard
close grained quartz and red oxide Of
iron with little malachite,
Whether the whole ledge holds the
precious metal in solution or is con-
tained in Que of the above mentioned
parts Is yet to be determined, how
ever, when general sample runs as
high as $4,000, picked sample, if it
proves to be streaked, should assay
many dollars to the pound. N'
A Chicago mining man named
Kerr, now at Reno, who happened
to be visiting the Radcliffe family,
visited the scene on Monday last. He
was pleased with the action of the

as the strike ideal for mining. A
wagon or auto road runs within
few feet of the shaft. Mr. Kerr
took away many specimens and also
the promise of an option, should the
owner decide to sell.
Radcliffe and Derig, who located
two claims adjoining the strike made
by Pete Brennan, have got some
excellent paintings from their ground

NEGRO EXODUS TO THE
NORTH STILL CONTINUES
ESTIMATED $4,000 HAVE MI
GRATED, AND NUMBER WILL
BE DOUBLED BY JAN. /.

The migration of negroes from the
South to the North, East and West
continues in spite of the approach of
winter. 1t is estimated now that more
than $4,000 have gone to New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Michigan, Maryland, Wis
consin, Illinois and Massachusetts. 1t
is anticipated that fully 100000 will
have left their old haunts in the South
before the first of the year, or more
than have left the South in two pre-
vious decades.
Sources of Negro Migration.
Of the 9,1O9,153 negroes native to
the South in 1910 8,668,619 were still
living there, while 440,534, or 4.8 per
cent, were living outside of the South,
415,533 having migrated to the North
and $4,000 to the West. The figures
. show that the present migration,
which amounts to an exodus, has re
suited in transferring to the North,
East and West more than one-fourth
as many as had gone to those Sec
tons in the entire time before.
The negro population of Florida IN
1910 was 3O8, 669, or Al per cent OF
the total population of the state: In
Georgia it was 1,176,987, or 45.1 per
cent of the total population; in Ala

Tennessee, 473, 088, or PIT per cent,
and in North Carolina, 697,843, or
31.6 per cent.
In the present movement A per
cent of the negro population of Flor
ida, / per cent of Georgia, z per cent
of Alabama, 5 per cent of Tennessee
and one-third per cent of North Car
