CHARLES f.. KNOX SECURES
PROPERTIES IN FAMOUS
DISTRICT

Several famous old producing
properties of the Candeleria mining
district. including the Mt. Diablo
mine and the Northern Bell, Holmes
and Chief of the Hills properties
of the Argenta Mines company, were
taken upder option this week by
Charles E. Knox, who is acquiring
them for a syndicate of mining
operators, whose names have been
withheld.
Knox, who is in Reno, is presi-
dent of the Montana Tonopah Mines
company, operating the Lost Burro
mine in the old Ubehebe district,
and the Commonwealth in Arizona.
The properties, which were &C
quired by him under option, were
opened up in the very early days,
and have bullion records running
we'll into the millions. Since the
early operations in the district, they
have been worked to some extent by
leasers who have shipped out the
ores on the narrow guage line which
runs to the properties.
In the early days of the operation
of the companies now owned by the
London syndicate, a mill was put
up on the property for treating the
ores which we're highly rebellious
in the days befort cyanide methods
were employed. The ores were then
smelted. The old mill, which is not
of any practical value, it is said,
now remains on the property.
Figures for the three mines are
to the effect that more than $780,
100000 in bullion was produced
between 1878 and 1892. For the
10 years of operation previous to
this time, the figures are not avail
able. The property was developed
to a considerable extent, there being
reported 60 miles of underground
work to show for the time spent by
the miners during the boom days.
AS the life of the old properties
advanced, their operating costs in
creased, due to the cutting of the
timber for use in the smelling of the
ores. At first all the timber that
was needed for use for fuel was to
be had in the close vicinity of the
mines. Later it became necessary
to go out for wood. hauling as far
at seventy and eighty miles and in
creasing operating costs proportion
ately.
Milling costs, according to figures
available at this time, were consid-
cred low, during the earlier opera
tions. if kept to $3.50 a ton, ex-
elusive of the cost of mining and
handling the ore. The costs in
many cases are reported as running
from $23 to $25 a ton under the
crude method of the times.
Some very rich ore in the district
has beer reported. Many of the
properties there have been develop
ed to great depth. Leasers are
working on some of these mines and
sending out ore regularly. A num-
Der of new properties have been de-
veloped as shippers.-Gazette.

What's the trouble with Walter
Johnson
has the great speed merchant gone
back, is the great right arm losing its
strength and cunning?
These questions naturally suggest
themselves when it is considered
that Johnson has been able to win
only two games out of six starts this
year, perhaps the poorest early sea-
son record Johnson has ever had.
But a casual glance through the
box scores of the games Johnson has
lost does not indicate that the peer
less Walter has gone back very FAR,
even though % other American league
pitchers are leading him in games
won and lost.
The box scores show only one game
this season which johnson with any
kind of support and decent breaks
should have lost. In that game he
allowed nine hits.
In his first defeat Johnson allowed
two hits. The next defeat registered
against him was the nine-hit affair
against New York. The Yanks got
him again, when he relieved the
wobbly Ayers, and Boston checked up
victory against his delivery in a
four-hit contest ...n
All in all, Johnson has allowed a
trife less than one hit for every two
innings he has pitched, he has allow
ed trif1e over one earned run per
game, while his teammates have con-
sistently failed to make runs behind
him. +

work on the primary law.
The bill introduced by Representa-

committee on elections.
