BONANZA MINE
IS A BARGAIN
BOUGHT BY LOS ANGELES MAN
FOR $20,000
Pt Dowie's Claim In Mexico.
eat Newt From Searchlight
District— Arizona's Great
Mineral Wealth
.It Is announced that one of Elijah
t>owle's representatives has denounced
an old . Spanish mine In the Etzatlan
district of Guadalajara, Mexico, end
that the "prophet" will seek to revlv*
his financial fortunes through Mexican
mining. Be the facts as they may la
regard to this particular exploitation,
the history of Mexicnn mining Bhows
even stranger facts than It would be
for • Dr. v Dowle to strike It rich, says
the Tucson (Ariz.) Post.
The public has In mind the well
known example of "Boss" Shepherd of
Washington, likewise a "discredited
prophet" In his own land, who, through
his ' Mexican Investments at Batapolis,
restored his fortune and made great
wealth for his associates. More re
cently one Glllett, a former cattle king
of the central west, •who was dragged
under by the flood of his financial oper
ations, found a return of fortune's
smile in' Mexican mining investments.
Only a few years ago a well known Mil
waukee financier, who had been brought
to the ground by the failure of his ex
tensive Iron operations ln Lake Superior,
went to Mexico with a very small capi
tal and succeeded ln a very short time
in* restoring his fortune and his flna.n
,cial. name, .Not all the adventurers
, who seek the distant regions of Mexico
to get a fresh start succeed, but with
the examples above referred to It Is
possible to believe that Dowle may find
that a Mexican mine is more satisfac
tory and fully as profitable as his much
talked of Zton.
Bought Bonanza Mine
The well known Bonanza mine, situ
ated at Fool's Paradise, near the con
fluence of the Klamath and Shasta
rivers, was sold recently by Seaman &
Martin to J. H. Krepps of Los Angeles,
president of the Golden Wonder Mining
company. The purchase price was
$20,000. The group consists of three or
four claims.
'-Mrs. Fanny B. Brent has bought the
Los Angeles group of mines near Llano
Colorado, about sixty-five miles east
ward from Mlnas Prietas, in Arizona,
and will proceed Immediately to oper
i ate the properties on an extensive scale.
Later, the lady will probably organize
a company 'to carry on the work. The
properties have been mentioned here
tofore as under the ownership of Frank
Smith of Hermoslllo, who has sold them
to Mrs. Brent. There Is about 600 feet
of 'development work, and plied on the
dump, are more than 1000 tons of high
grade .ore ready for shipment, which
will go forward as soon as the Guay
rnas smelter, now in course of construc
tion, is completed and ready to treat
ores.
Work of an Expert
; * The Investors and the mining expert
often have different Ideas about what
is expected of an expert. Recently an
Investor who has on occasions Invested
money ln mines in this section of the
world had presented to him an Invest
ing proposition in what was supposed
to be a good property. He engaged a
mining: expert, 'one of the best ln Den
ver, to look the property over and re
port :to him. The expert made a
thorough examination, and his report
is said to be one of the most exhaustive
ever seen In New Tork. It had c long
typewritten description of the property,
page after page of the results of the
assays of the ores in the property, flr.e
maps of the property, both typographi
cal and geological, and everything else
that an expert could give to show what
the ' property was. The whole was
nicely bound in limp leather and the
name of the investor appeared on the
front cover in letters of gold. The In
vestor examined it carefully, and the
m'ors he read it the less he knew about
it. Finally he bundled the book up,
sent It back to the expert and wrote
him about as follows:
"The book is. very fine, but what I
y.ant to know Is If I invest ln this will
I have a run for my money?"
I The expert Is still working on the
proposition.
Searchlight District
• The recent rl inn sty In San Francisco
has been felt in the searchlight district
to n certain extent, yet the wheels of
progress did not stop, r.elther will the

Another company operating within

Searchlight.
The Huster group of five claims has
nepn ncqulrpd by Dawson A McKenxle
under n working bond. These claims
lie ln the Nob hill district, Mr. Allen,
who will remain in charge of develop
ment work, states thnt it Is the inten
tion of the company to ntnrt operations
Immediately by means of a drift tunnel
In the main vein, as a several hundred
foot depth can be secured with such a
tunnel nnd a large body of excellent
ore can be blocked. out.
New Body of Ore
The Quartette Mine. has opened up
the ore body on the 900-foot level, thus
df-monstratlng the huge body of ore
that this mine has at so great a depth.
The liay State shaft that this company
Is sinking west of the principal work
ing Is being rushed with the greatest
possible speed, and us soon as water Is
secured In this shaft the twenty new
stamps now on the ground will Imme
diately be added to the twenty stamps
now In active operation.
Report from the Venus show con
stant improvement an work progresses,
and the expectations of. those interested
are now a realization. Some of the ore
runs Into the thousands; the ore shoot
proper is twice as large as was ex
pected and contains an average of |30
per ton. With cheaper railroad facll;
ltles this district will make many ship
ments of excellent ore. ,
New Process in Arizona
The Chihuahua, Mexico, Enterprise
says: ■
News has been received here of the
successful operation of the Rlgby.Min
ing & Reduction company's new plant
at Mayer, Ariz. This plant has. been
watched with a great deal lof Interest
by mining men In all parts of the coun
try, as it Is the first large plant in
stalled to use- what in known as the
Pohle-Croasdale process, which is,
briefly, the volatilization of the gold,
silver, copper and*lead contents of
the ore, and the collection of each of
these metals separately and in a prac
tically pure state from the fumes.
In this process the inventors have
simply taken advantage of a well
known principle— one which has been
fought against by metallurgists for
ages. Wherever heat has been applied
In the reduction of ores, either in
smelting or roasting for subsequent
treatment, there has been a certain
percentage of loss by volatilization, and
in many cases this loss has been so
great that ores could not be success
fully treated by roasting or smelting
processes.
Wealth in Arizpna
The mines of Tavapai county, Ari
zona, produced ln round numbers
$9,000,000 In precious metals ln the past
year.. In this list of values copper
heads the list with a production of
40,000.000 pounds; gold, amounting to
$1,750,000 was produced from the ledges
and. placers; silver 500,000 ounces, and
lead and other metals amounting to
$200,000. <
The completion of the custom smelt
ing plant of the Arizona Smelting
company 'at Humboldt, sixteen miles
east of Prescott, writes a Prescott cor
respondent, marked the most Impor
tant event to the mining Industry for
the year. This plant is erected on the
site of the Val Verde smelter that wag
destroyed by fire ln the year 1904. The
location Is an ideal ono from every
standpoint, being on a branch line of
the Santa Fe railroad and centrally lo
cated in regard to the producing mines
of the country.
The plant consists of two reverba
tories of 300 tons dally capacity, sixty
ton electric crnne, six converters, three
sots of Edwards roasters, two large
Corliss engines of the turbine pattern,
two sets of Sterling boilers and two
large centrifugal pumps. '
A concentrator of 600 tons dally ca
pacity, using thirty-two concentrating
tables, four crushers and three sets of
rolls; the sampling mill is equipped
with two 300-ton crushers, two 300-ton
rolls and 300-ton finishers; three auto
matic samplers and mixers, one con
veyor belt for carrying ore from bins
to crushers, 1000 feet long and eighteen
inches wide. The receiving and storage
bins have a capacity for 3000 tons of
ore. The oil tank for holding oil for
fuel has a capactiy fnr 2,000,000 gallons.
In addition to all this the company
has Installed three large electric gen
erators for transmitting power for the
operation of the Blue Bell and De Soto
mines, several miles distant ' ■
A Run for the Money
A thrilling automobile race ln which
the stake was $20,000 in gold took place
between Ooldfield and Bullfrog and
several New York mining men won.
The contestants were the New .Yorkers
ngalnst Solomon Camp, the latter being
superintendent of tho January mine at
Cloldfleld.'
The option upon the Original Gold
Bar Extension mines at Bullfrog had
expired and both parties were racing
to close a deal for its purchase.
Camp and the New Yorkers left at
the same time In 50-horse power auto
mobiles. They ran close together at
tho highest speed until they were within
a few miles of Bullfrog, when Camp't
chauffeur ran Into a stretch of deep
sand while trying to make a short cut
and was compelled to walk the remain
der of the way. When he got there
the New Yorkers had paid $30,000 for
the mine. Camp at once offered them
$50,000 for their bargain and they ac
cepted the offer on the spot. They left
the camp $20,000 richer.
