? From District Area to Process
'Bonunzo' MARYLAND Gold Ore

A District fireman and a Bethesda
builder yesterday began assaying
gold bearing ore, claimed to be
worth $50 a ton, on farm near
Winfield, Carroll County, Md.
Howard F. Rothery, private as
signed to District Fire Truck Com
pany No. 3, and Fowler w. Stevens,
Bethesda builder who is a graduate
in engineering from correspon-
dence school, revealed yesterday
they plan to put up a SIS 900 process
ing plant on the 40-acre farm which
they rent from a 67-year-old COL
ored handyman.
Engineers in the United States
Bureau of Mines said today that
ore worth $50 a ton is of BONANZA
grade. They were inclined to view
the operation skeptically, however,
since the value of the operation,
they said, would depend upon the
amount of high-value ore to be
found. It is not unusual to find a
few tons, they explained, and Ii
would be surprising if more than
a few existed in nearby Maryland

Costley, was leased more than a
decade ago to a group Of Washing
ton prospectors. Mr.. Costley, who Is
handyman for a Winfield farm
equipment agency, said the lease
was allowed to lapse some years age
because the operation was not
profitable. The original analysis for
the earlier lessons was made by Mr.
Stevens.
In revealing their plans yester-
day, Mr.. Rothery said the 32-foot
shaft has produced gold-bearing
sulphide ore and that quartz is
bedded beneath that. If the quartz
does not produce gold the machinery
will be moved to an unidentified
farm near Clifton, Va, where, it is
said, other gold-bearing ore has
been found.
Electronic Detector Used.
Mr.. Stevens said the present site
was chosen after the farm had
been surveyed with an. electronic
gold detector which was said to
have buzzed so loudly it practically
knocked your ears off,"
The ore taken out was originally
assayed in a workshop set up near
Falls Church, Va. Last fall con-
struction was started on an assay
ing oven on the farm. This furnace
was used yesterday for the first
time ard, according to the pros
pectors, produced gold beads 81

Mayor Henry A. Mitchell and an

MILAN, we're fined $25 each by Judge
William G. Coleman for shooting
ducks over a baited area in Cecil
County. Others paid fines for shoot
ing out of season and for Illegally
trapping wild ducks.
There are several ways IN which
the watermen take geese ta{d ducks,
in and out of season. The greatest
numbers of waterfowl are taken by
means of baited traps and by shoot
ing large guns from baited blinds
where live decoys are used. All OF
these methods are illegal, even if
used during the open hunting sea-
son.
In order to trap, a waterman must
first bait pond in marsh for sew
eral weeks. After the ducks start
using the pond he makes trap out
of chicken wire, fastened to stakes
driven in shallow water.
50 Taken In Night.
The entrance to the trap opens
only one way-in--and after 1t is
built, corn that is used for bait is
placed inside the wire mesh and
just at the outside of the gate. Ducks
| it is said, will fight each other to get
inside the trap, and as many as so
have been taken in single night.
Sometimes, to make the traps more
efficient, pens of live decoys are
placed nearby. These decoys are
wild ducks and geese that may have
been bred and raised in captivity,
and that had part of one wing re-
moved so they never will be able to
fly.
Night shooting from boats Is
another method. and some hunters
have made large guns out OF scraps

ton boats, which absorb the shock
bof the explosion. As many as ~
Tor so ducks may be killed at one
shot.

Game management agents say
that some ct the most prominent
residents of the area are known to
set few traps and to do a little
Illegal cunning. Furthermore. the
willingness of others to buy the
illegally killed game makes enforce
