The telluride ore of Crfpple Creek and Kalgoorie, Australia. has produced for years a considerable amQa mt of ‘the worlds’ gold. The ore is of gieneous origin and occurs by replacement in the country “ rock of deep fissure. The pay shoots. often extend hundreds. of feet in length to great depth. The Mojave desert, noted for its ore deposits, offers a new field to mining men in the exploration of its lodes for gold tellurides, unknown on the Mojave until the discovery of ‘made the strike, keep’ pretty well on “THENUGGET PAGE OF MINING iano CRONE DEPOSTS.

Behind the heavy door is ore that is worth several thousand dollars a ton, roughly expressed. <Assays show $460 per ton but that was before the payshoot was struck. Miners of long experience stay the stuff in the shoot is worth from $2000 to $3000 a ton. : And with this great strike and other mines showing new colors, this, valuable mineral at~Fremont Peak. The discovery is entirely due to the roasting of the unaltered rock. The minéral is silver white, finely divided, saturating the ore thoroly and practically recognize until roasted. Samples of the ore should be carred for use in the field. Of the telluride minerals the Fremont Peak ore may be classed as petzite. Its luster is metallic; iron gray; fracture, uneven; tenacity, sectile to brittle; hardness, 2.5 to 3.0; gravity, 8.9 to 9.4. It erystallizes in the regular system of cubes or in distorted forms, but is: “sometimes massive or granular. Petzite occurs Colorado and California.

War Great Industry In the one year of 1918, when prices rose to $49.35 a ton, due to the demands of war and the lack of from abroad, California shipped 73 955 tons of ehromite, valued at $3,649;497.

She bought the ‘mine for around $1500 and employed Linnell and Jones to look it over: for her. They uncovered the rich vein. There are many mines in the im. mediate vicinity. The Clearinghouse, for instance, has been worked for years and now at a depth of 1200 feet, is paying dividends to _ its ' stockholders. Another is the Felicjiana, reopened two years ago, after '60 years of inactivity. It is reported yielding 24 ounces of amalgam per ‘day and recently’ cut into a two foot Vein assaying $250 a ton according to Jack Graham of San Jose, owner i;of the King Solomon mine in that . district. The surface has just been ‘scratched in and around Mariposa. When Mariposa was first a mining camp, it was miles from civili{ zation. No road or railroad ran near ‘it. Fuel was scarce.

Controlled by England Most of the chromite now comes from Rhodesia, New Caledonia, India and Guba and is controlled by England. Only 108 tons were produced in this country in 1926. There are large deposits in all these countries yet to be opened and there seems no immediate danger of depletion. At the same. time there is estimated to be 1,250,000 tensin reserve in the United States deposits, of which there are 2 000 unknown.

H. Nelson, H. G. Bleckner and H. F. Lueas of Los Angeles; who have taken over the property. People recall seeing Watson drag a bag across the sidewalk into the entrance of the Sonora bank, containing 174 pounds of gold bars worth nearly $40,000, the result of a single pocket. A large crowd gather to watch ‘Miner’ Watson “bring home the bacon.” The untouched section of the mine lies 800 feet south of the old workings and limited incursions into. the virgin ground are said to reveal zood prospects of further richness. LONG BEACH EXPOSITION . JULY 27 TO AUGUST 13 California this summer expects to entertain the greatest influx of visitors in its history with the Pacific
Southwest Exposition at Long Beach, Tuly 27 to August 13, the mecca for tourists and travelers from all parts of the United States, Canada, Mexico and other foreign lands. The Pacific Southwest Exposition is the largest. enterprise of its *kind attempted in‘California since the world-famed Panama-Pacific exposition at SanFrancisco Diego exposition, both held in 1915 The event is to be staged in comMmemoration of the landing of the Spanish pardes, depicting the cultur al and commercial progress of the entire Pacific Southwest and its evo lution from a colorful romantic Spanish domain to a bustling world mart. Having assumed international as: pects with pledges of participation at the present rate of consumption, if none is imported. This is, however, of lower grade than the foreign . deposits and runs about 41 percent. Plenty in California In California, according to C. A. Logan of the state. mining bureau, chromite is found in twenty-four counties and shipments Were made from twenty-two in 1917. The deposits are usually. in -lens or -kidney formation in serpentine, and easily mined. The mineral is blackinsh brown in’ color with a brown stréak and submetallic luster. It is easily detected and the state was well prospected during the boom days. Has Many Uses The largest use for been for refractory open hearth steel which use about two and a half pounds of chromite for every ton of steel made. Because of its properties of extreme furnaces, hardness, resistence to acids and toughness, chrome is being used more and more for the: making of chrome sfeel alloy. 4t is a constituent for rustless steel stainless steel, and other’ special alloys. It is cleetroplated on steel and takes a polish so that it can replace nickel as a plate. The automobile industry now uses large quantities of chrome, ly in bearings, rods and other points where a good wearing surface is. desired, Another use is,.a chemical making dyes, pigments and in tanning and bleaching. About 27, per cent of the consumption is for these purposes. especi alfor Miss Evelyn O’Connor is here from her school position at Roseville to spend the Easter holidays at the parental home.
