BLAST DELAYED .28 YEARS
CAUSES BIG GOLD RUSH

For % years a rich vein of gold
lay waiting for one last shot of pow
der to expose it in the Kramer hills
The romantic story of the discovery
was told by Ed Herkelrath, who 10
Gated the new strike on the Mojave
desert.
In 1898, the late Austin Burcham,
owner of the Yellow Aster mine,
sank a shaft 40 feet in the Kramer
hills and then abandoned the prop
erty when word came of new riches
in the Yellow Aster. Herkelrath said
he found holes drilled for Burcham's
last shot of powed while exploring
the abandoned shaft. The powder
had never been placed in the holes
FI thought 1 would see what Bur
cham's last shot would uncover,
