There are many millions of dollars’ worth of saline deposits in Death Valley. | If the estimates that have been made by Professor Bailey for State Mineralogist Aubury are correct, the amount is in the hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth. All the facts will be published soon in a pampklet or bulletin to be issued by the | State Mining Bureau. The story that | Professor Bailey tells will be quite a sur- prise to the majority of the inhabitants of this State, for Death Valley has not gen- | erally been regarded as a great store- | house of wealth. The saline deposits have | atiracted a great deal of attention lately. | Large tracts of lands on which are saline deposits have been taken up by citizens of this State. The bulletin of the State g Bureau will give an amount of valuable information which will be eager- 1y, sought interest in the account givers ly Mining Review of Denver the bromide process which is being ll'l;fl at Colorado City. The claim is | m&de that by its use ore as low as $3 per ton can be profitably handled. Ac- ccraing to the Mining Record, the ores of Cripple Creek are aimost identical with those of the Kalgourlie district in Aus- tralia, where ihe process was tried on a large scale. The company that owns the right for the Western Hemisphere is ccmposed of New York moneyed men. The work begins at Colorado City with a mill capable of handling 125 tons per day. Mojave District Active. The Bob Tail mine in the Mojave dis- trict of Kern County, for which San Francisco parties are reported to have paid $27,000, has been developed to some cxtent. 'There is considerable activity in the district mentioied. The Exposed Treasure Mining Company has solved the water problem by piping in water from Oak Creek, a distance of eighteen miles. The Iowa Consolidated mines at Rich Gulch, Calaveras County, will have a 40- amp mill. The Mutual Mining Company has been rcorganized and is operating a prospect cn Amador Hill, Amador County. A re- | port is circulated that a contract is out | for the sale of the Wabash mine, on the mother lode, between Amador City and Sutter Creek. Chase & Sons will try to turn the Mokelumne River at Clinton Bar at low water. A new 60-stamp mill will be built during the coming summer for the Kennedy mine. The Mother Lode work has begun at mine in Tuolumne County, which has been bonded to Kansas parties. The Mack mine at Big Oak Flat, according to ihe same authorily, has been closed Gown under financial difficuities. Attachments to the amount of several thousand dollars property for Banner says that the Wheat-Perrin Yreka Journal says that all the er, hydraulic and quartz mines in Siskiyou County are operating. A mnew ige is reported to have been discoyered the Red Bird Company, which is The new dredger by werking at Yreka Flats at Cailahans is_about ready to work the | bed of the south fork of Scott River.. Find Near Coloma. A rumor Is given circulation by the Mining and Scientific Press that two men took out gold to the value of $3000 recently as the result of one day's clean-up at Lotus, El Dorado County, two miles from Coloma, the site of the discovery of the first nugget picked up in California, The River Hill mine at Placerville will sooa be crushing 100 tons of rock per day. The Talihouse mine near Placerville has been so0ld at Sheriff's sale to a Cleveland, Ohio, man, who was one of the leading ‘stock- | holdérs in the old company. The price was only §2081, The property includes 100 acres of ground and a twenty-stamp mill, together with holsting works and machin- er ‘T'he Tuolumne Independent says that J. ¥. Anderson of Soul ille has bonded | &’ nalf-interest In the Hidden Treasure placer mine to W. P. Scott and others. The property Includes 170 acrés near Cherokee, The San Bernardino Sun contains a long account of quartz mining at Dale. The Sun says in part: ¢ it s found out that the rich quartz ¢ ‘which the prospectors have been for o long are secroted behind the iron strata, The gold s hidden in pockets or Kkidneys and the pockets are immensely rich, The iron ledges are numerous around the camp and they have taken a very sudden jump in price. Develdpment work has been done on several of the ledges and in every instance free gold has been found in the pockets. The Dale is very much in need of a first- class large stamp mill. There are several crude small affairs here and though they do | not answer the needs of the camp they are making money. Sabbathe & Killian have been c tamp mill here for gever made it a very profitable busi- e is_true with the two-stamp the Meachams. The Brooklyn mill, a three-stamp affair, Is the largest in the ‘camp, and it bas coined money pounding out ore, and it has done this while paying for water at 9 cents a gallon. There s plenty of ore here, rich ore, though it needs energy and skill to' get it ouf, and there is an eclegant opening for a large stamp mill, The Sonora Union-Democrat says: A, P. Dron, superintendent of the Longfel- low and Nonparell mines at Big Oak Flat, ie the leader in a movement calculated to be of vast importance to the mining interests of that section. At present mines in the vicinity are operated by steam power, and Mr. Dron Is making an effort to install a water service, The old ditch, which formerly carried water to the section, but which by long abandon- ment and neglect has been greatly damaged, is being considered as the best and cheapest means of getting water to the mines. It is estimated that $10,000 will be required to put the ditch in serviceable condition. Jeff Doolittle and A. Brown, who have organized a company for the purpose, will dredge the Tuolumne River near Grange for gold, and bottom lands and | (FUTURE OF DIL GROWS BRIGHTER Prices Rise, While Well- Owners Are Going Slowiy. Decrease of Production Is a Factor in Making Good Terms. The outlook for the producers of petro- leum in California continues to grow brighter. Prices that have taken an up- ward tendency show no inclination to re- cede. The Associated Oil Company is proceeding calmly on its way, preparing to drill where it may seem advisable. The Standard Oil Company is seemingly do- ing its best to hurry the construction of the pipe line that will connect it with the Kern River district, and the sum of §4,000,000, approximately, is involved in the pipe line and the operations at Point Richmond. So, while there is no haste tpon the part of the owners of small properties outside of the combine to de- velop rapidly, the situation continues to, Lold its interest very well for all con-| cerned. The returns for the month of | February, as compiled by the statistician | of the Los Angeles Heraid, show that the | status of the industry has undergone li tle change during one month. The Her- ald says of the February operations in California fields: Active Work Curtailed. The tendency in all of the large flelds has been to curtail active work pending an advance in prices. This has been marked in the Kern | River field, where out of 88 wells drilling work has been 'suspended on 58, leaving only 35 upon which work is being prosecuted, In ghe McKittrick-Sunset feld also the 15 rigs noted a month ago continue the same, and of the 195 wells drilling 128 have suspended, leaving 68 upon which drilling is in progress. It is but right to say, however, that in the Me- Kittrick-Sunset fleld there are a number of wells that have been on the suspended list 0 long as to warrant the belief that they have virtually been abandoned, albeit denial is made of this fact. During the month of February the new daily production amounted to 1060 barrels, a decline from the previous month's record of | 850 barrels. In averaging the product of a field, however, the true daily production is not | always indicated. When a well pours forth | a velume of ol amounting to between 000 | and 4000 barrels per day, as has the new well | ght in by the Central Oil Company in the | Whittier fleld—which is in any case a pro- | ductive one—the probability is that the aver- age of the entire field will be increased. The | same applies to the Fullerton field, where the Santa Fe and Brea Canyon companies have brought in ‘spouters” that have not shown | any very decided decline in production since seitling down to regular work. Diminishing the amount of oil offered for sale naturally helps to make a better | price. Contracts are made at much higher figures for the producers than would have been possible a few months ago. The Bakersfield Californian reports the following from the field of the operations of the Associated Oil Company: The combine expects to start up drilling on the San Joaquin and Kern properties at once. Three rigs are being fitted up now and L. Crandall, an experienced driller, has been ap- pointed superintendent of the work. It is thought that other operations will bé begun in the near future, as the Assoclated Company is continually making new contracts for oil. The manageient reports that the tendency of prices is upward and confidently believe that the rate will reach a most satisfactory, point in the near future. Value of Oil Stock. In Los Angeles Judge Trask has decided a point that is of interest to oil compas nies throughout all the fields. The case of Spinks v, Clark & Bryan was on trial, Counsel wished to investigate certain bocks to ascertain the real value of oil stocks over which there Is a controversy. Jucge Trask decided that the proper way to prove stock values is by the market price, unless it can be shown that the buyer of the stock was influenced to buy through misrepresentations of the valuc of the plant. A town site is being lald out at Car- reaga, the ofl field in which the Western Union Company wells have been put down, A sale of 1000 acres of land in the New- hall oll district is reported to have been muade, the price being about $60,000, The e of six Kern amounted to as follows: 000, Thirty- San t oll compan . .

J. . Gifford of Sonora has bonded from ¢, Austin mining property near Whitlock, Mariposa. County, for §35,000, The following ‘significant’ statement s from the Mining and Scientific Press: The tailing dump of the Metallic Gold Bx- tracting Company at Florence, Colo., contains 600,000 to 800,000 tons, which {8 now being treated at the rate of about 400 tons per day with a considerable profit, estimated to resuit in_the aggregate to considerably over half a million dollars, The dump consists of tallings from the Cripple Creek ores which were sup- posed to have been worked close. Willlam Willis writes to the Elko, Nev., Tree Press an account of mineral opera-~ | tions W Elko County. He says that Elko | Couaty has produced more than $50,000,000 in gold, silver, copper and lead. Among the old-time camps in the county, Tusca- rora heads the list with a record of $20.- | 000,000 in gold and silver, all of which | came from a comparatively shallow level, | something like 600 feet. ~There is no| smelter in the county and there is no cus- | toms smelter in the State, and nearly all the cres have to bear heavy railroad charges besides sampling and smelting. The Bull Run district is now being de- veloped by one company only, and there is only one company working in the White | Rock_district. Willis says that there is an abundance of cheap power on the | Snake River in Idaho not more than sixty-five miles distant that can be util ized. At Mardis the King Solomon Min- ing Company is erecting a twenty-stamp miil to handle gold ores. A_copper belt | is reported to extend from Lone Moun- | taliln to Bullion, a distance of about forty miles. - | FREDERICK WILLE, 13 Letter Cnrrier in Onkland, |3 ADVERTISEMENTS, A PLAIN STATEMENT.
