Is Prospected for Eight

An ■••ar matin yrnterday tar The Herald
on a »iiiuiilt< from the linrbrr claim* in the
new mining region thirty-live mlle» north of
liurttow Kliowril » total value In gold and
kllvrr of BJHN » lon, (HI rent* of whirl*
nuN ullvrr.
Tin' now mining region thirty-five
miles north of Baratow, where several
rich striken have boon recently iniulr,
is. according to W. E. Allen, ■ Los
Angeles and Nevada mining man, one
of the biggest countries exploited In
yrars. Mr. Allen returned yesterday
from the scene of tho recent strikes,
loaded with samples and Information,
and •■•aid tho thing most innl e«i there
right now are some wldeawali i Nevada
prospectors, the kind that v. '.(. pi In
and make the '.amp go. Ho *h- there
la lots of country yet to bo located and
from present indications the mineral
ized zone extends over a large area.
The original strike in this country
■was said to have been made at Make
up Johnnie, but this Is evidently an
error us there Is no Wako-up Johnnie
in that vicinity, and as a matter of
fact there is nothing at present but
a few tents, scattered over a number
of miles along tho zone.
The country, according to Mr. Allen,
has been prospected tor about eight
miles. The Mitchell strike was the
first from which any quantity of ore
was taken and a shipment of two tons
from it in said to have run $400. Th«
Hart strike was tin- first one made
mil an average of $15 a ton was de
rived from a width of twenty feet. The
Harbor strike seems to be th<* richest,
taken as a whole, and Mr. Allen says
thai from about fifty homings on a
width Of twenty-live feet lie found
, that none of them ran under $50 in
gold to the ton.
Rich' Surface Showing
With these facts to substantiate the
claim It would seem that thin region
li.'s a large and remarkably rich sur
face showing. What will develop at
depth is as yet para theory, but It Is
believed that at leant a very profitable
low grade proposition Is sure.
Officials from the Yellow Aster and
men interested at Tecopa are now in
the country locating claims. The Te
copa people have taken mi option on
tin 1 Hart property and tried to get an
option on the Barber, but failed. The
Tecopa people are said to bo backed
by Los Angeles and Pasadena capital
and are desirous of (retting everything
of value there corraled.
Mi. Allen, who lives at 3212 Manitou
avenue, returned to the city to outfit
and will leave for the new country
Thursday prepared to develop his
claims.
. "It is the biggest surface showing
ever discovered in this country," said
Mr. Allen yesterday. "The Igneous
belt lies between lime and granite at
least a mile wide and Is traceable for
eight miles. The recent strikes are
about throe miles apart and in forma
tion that looks like porphyry and
schist with stringers of quartz running
In the porphyry.
"Water can be developed for milling
purposes from the center of- the camp,
in a dry lake, where a well was once,
but which has long since caved in. At
the present time drinking water is
hauled from Williams well, sixteen
miles away, and costs $5 a barrel to
get it Into camp.
"There is a road from Barstow into
the country Which, with the. exception
of the last two miles, is na good as any
country road in California. The last
two miles of tho road contain patches
.if sand, making travel somewhat dif
ficult.
"There Is lots of ground yet to bo
loruted, nit nevertheless a Kreat deal
lias already been staked. The country
!s a large one and the prospects are
of the vet;' best, mnklng It a good field
[or prospectors that understand thetr
business. It takes only two and one
half hours to reach camp from Bar
stow by automobile."
Mr. Allen Is the man who made the
famous zinr strike at Good Springs,
Nevada, last fall, and cleaned up a
snug sum on a quick sale of the
property.
<in the Barber property ore is now
being sacked for shipment. Twenty to
thirty sacks will comprise the first load,
which will be teamed out probably this
week. ,
