A RICH MINE. A Kii-h Hint I trl Not Vr from Hear 'ml Ivy. Says the ltiversido l'ress: ljist Friday morning Press representative, in company with A. Fiidicnr and .1. W.

Huberts, started from bear Valley for a visit to the im mine, in the Miming) tiis-trict. Tin- distance is twenty miles, tiviTa very good mountain ji I Three four miles above Knight's tho road pusses around a Like several miles in extent, which we believe is en I led Green lake, fr.iii the fact lint the upper portion of it has a green color like the ocean. All around its edges there is a t-treakof hite alkali ami it is t-aiil the water has a natty taste, ho much so that birders drive their sheep there in order to save the expense of salting them. At the northern end of the lake, a short distance tip the cation, we came to Lucky Haldwiu's Gold mine, now deserted and desolate. At one time this was a hustling, thriving mining town of 400 inhahitants.

The millionaire spmt kire sums of money in making roads, bringing water by tltimes to Ids mine and erecting a large forty-stainp quartz mill. A large amount of development work was done, and everything was prosperous. the ore was not ve ry rich, averaging only ahout to the hi, and one night the elegant mill took lire and burned to the ground. Today the old stamps are still standing, th(f engine is there, Imt the husy workers are ail gone. A nuinher of nice little eottaaes are scattered around tenantless and weds an1 now overgrowing the streets and walks.

Leaving the camp, the road winds down one of the longest grades it luisi vi been our lot to travel, down and dew overlooking the great Mojave desert, which we can see for hundreds of miles, until we reach the bottom, and then begins a gradual ascent, through a wide, long valley, lilleu with countless vticca trees and scrub oak. There were the laigest. and finest yuccas we ever beheld. Went once named it "Yucca Valley" on that account. Six miles from "the Hose mine we passed a splen- did spring of water, which was so large it made quite a stream, tor a short instance.

Uutthc thirsty rands soon licked it up, and half a mile down not a drop was to be wen. For fifteen miles the road lies through a wild, rough, desolate looking country, no water except the one spring referred to and only one habitation in sight and that wasdeserted. Hut all along on the sides of the mountains could le seen evidences of the prospector's pick, for this is all mineral land. Just before reaching the mine we passed through tine, level, little valley, I bv nephew and wife i. 1 i hemmed on every sioe ny nmgeu mountains.

The soil looked very rich, but there was no water. Keaching the mine we were cor-; ilinlly receive 1 by 1). A. Wheeler, super- inteiident, and family, and W. Taylor, assaynr and mill manager, who showed us all over the mine and mill, ami explained everything to us.

They were- all feeling very jubilant and happy, for that very day the miners had struck a wider and richer body of ore than any previous ones. We went down in the mine, and on the 1 la-foot; level, about L'J'J feet from the main shaft, i examined this rich ledge, which was on that day i feet wide, and growing larger the farther they went. The main shaft, hich is at an incline of oo degrees, is down 'J'H feel. At that depth a level is to Ik? run to strike the ledge of rich ore found above A large amount of development work has been done, levels run in various directions and shafts sunk, for when they got down feet they loH all trace of "the k-dgc, and for feet farther worked in barren rock. Things looked blue at the Kose mine at that time, and Imt for the faith and determination of Mr.

Wheeler, no doubt work would have ceased and the Riverside owners i lieen out of jmcket many thousand of dollars. Hut Mr. Wheeler kept on, overcoming many obstacles, and at last i struck the ledge again. Now there is no question about the richness and large amount of ore in the mine. The ore, which is dark red in color, is now being taken out much faster than the mill can crush, and five more stamps are to he added.

At present the mill is turning out about $1.10 a day, twelve hours run, and it eosts about $ii 1 a day to operate the mine and mill. So it will be seen that there is a 1 tmirgin of profit, even if only about f0 per cent, of the gold is saved. Only free gold is now extracted, and about half goes oil" in the tailings. These tailings of which there are 1 ,000 tons on the dump, will Ik run through a concentrator wincn is prohahlv in THE WEEKLY COUKIEK, SAi BERNARDINO. SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1892.

Welchmau et was a case appealed from Ventura county and decided by the supreme court yesterday. It contains unite an interesting little story, which runs as follows: In August, 1SSS, Charlotte Creswell was named Charlotte Hath. She was an old woman a widow of the age of 70. Hit? had no children and no relatives in this t-tate. fdte owned thirty-seven acres of land in the county in which she lived; also a I in the town of l'aiila, the wiioh worth about reeling mighty lonely in this vale of tears, shesent to.

New Jersey for William II, Welclunan, her nephew, an 1 his ile to come and live with her and take care of her. They consented to come ami arrived On 1 el). 1, and on the 12th of the same month she went to a lawyer and had him draw tip papers through which she deeded to her nephew ami his wife all her property, reserving in it all a life estate to herself. The consideration for this was that they were to take care of her, attend to her business and give her their companionship and comfort. Nephew ami wife lived on with the old lady lor year.

Nephew and wife did not appear to please, the old lady or was not susceptible of being pleased for any length of time. Anyhow, at the, end of the year she put her kinspeople both out and refused to accept from them any money or consolation or to let them ever iive with her at all, and this notwithstanding the iwphow had been put to an expense of $-00 in coming from the east, and also spent $4 Hi of his money in enlarging the house, for none of which expenses would the old ladv allow him a cent. On the day nephew and wife left the house, a tramp, a stranger to all parties, happened along and wanted the old lady to give him work. took him in and a month later married him. Afterwards, in a reply to an oiler from her nephew to return to live with her and rent the farm, she replied that the farm was rented and that she had rented herself with it; that she didn't want any more commerce with them.

Then the old lady and her tramp husband entered suit against nephew and wife to annul the deed, alleging that the old lady was weak-minded and that the deed had been made bv her through inl ine influence brought to bear upon her The court below refused to set the deed aside and the supreme court atiirins the decision. The tramp husband will probably now have to hunt further. i i Annual I'l-port.

Through 111 Iolni; Samuel N.

Ill mil I Krf nii(l'! of Hi Klghtu from "i the Oiii-nUon. There is not the least bit of doubt but what Indian Agent Hust should be removed from his present otl'n ial position, and a man that will act honest put in his place. Ihiring his term of oflieo he has been the cause of much complaint, and has caused settlers considerable trouble. There is a case now pending in the superior court, brought on by Kust not acting in accordance with the orders from Washington, copies of which appear hereinafter in this article. Samuel Klack is the defeudent in the case.

IK has been outrageously treated by Kust and the Manning Land and Water company. They actually had the unmitigated gall to have Mr. arrested for harvesting his own grain, ami when the jury acquitted him C. (. Marker rushed in and got out an injiiction against him.

It seems that Mr. Klack has always claimed till of section 10 and a part of sections 17 and IS, township 2 south, range I east, Mm Bernardino meridian. As the season came about ho sowed his grain and harvested it without being molested. A short while ago Mr. Kust ordered Mr.

Mlack oil' the land anil turned it over to the Indians as a part their reservation, as will be seen in the letters that follow. Agent Kust cm-ployed C. O. Marker to plow and harvest the land of Mr. Mlack, to which Mr.

Mlack rightfully objected. During all these outrages against I.lack, Kust knew he was acting in direct conflict with orders front Washington. In February of this year Indian Commissioner T. J. Morgan'wrote a letter to the secretary of the interior, based upon a letter front Kust, which is as follows: Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs: The Honorable the Sscretary of the Interior: Washington, Feb.

10, 181)2. Sir I have the honor to aknowledge receipt by department reference of Feb. 3 last, for report of a cotninunicatioii from Samuel N. Mlack of Meaumont, Cal. (referred to the department by the Hon.

W. W. Mowers), wherein he statesjthat since the commissioners (appointed under the act of approved Jan. 1.1, IfSOl 20 Stats. 712 to arrange a just and satisfactory settlement of the Mis-ion Indians, residing in the state of California, nj reservations which shall be secured them under said act i visited the premises and concluded that they did not want his lands (claimed by said Mlack to be all of section IS and a part of section 17, township 2 south, range 1 east, San Mernar-dino meridian) for the Indians, and told hint that they would report to that etl'ect, he immediately attempted to take charge of his lands, under his rights as existing prior to his removal, but that the United States Indian agent came and cut his wire fences, etc.

In reply thereto von are respectfully informed that under date of March 111, 1SS7, Agent Ward, then United States I Indian agent at the Mission agency, I'. i i-, i a ifornia, was directed to remove said teachers, 1 number of certificates i granted males, to females, 07; cer- T'1 IUsM'k- 'lth I tilicates renewed. number of ppli- "yryati.tn, under he author- i i. it granted in department letter of rejected, number of children cants oti; attending private schools, o70: number of teachers holding county certificates, first or grammar grade certificate, 80; number of teachers holding county certificates, second grade or primary certificates, til; number of districts maintaining school less than six months, 5, all new districts; number of districts maintaining school six months and over, but less than eight months, IS; number of schools maintaining school eight months and over, al.

The company lias been to great expense and lost larce sums through the extnnugunee and ignorance of the1 first mill manager, ho induced them to purchase costly and useless machinery. Some idea of the cost may be gained1 alien it is consided that ali the lumber in these large buildings, all the heavy -'machinery had to be hauled from Victor, a distance of forty-live miles, at a rost of one cent per pound, in addition to purchase price and railroad charges to Victor.

That made ordinary San liernardino lumber cost about per 1,000 feet, an I other things in propor- 1 tion. The mill luis now live stamps, but is made forjtcn, and the other live will be put in soon.

Alter due consideration you are directed to inform Mr.

Mlack that this office litis treated, and still is desirous of treating, him leniently in the matter of the oc cupancy of the lands claimed by him, Imt in view- of the tact that the crop for the present year has, as you state, been put in on shares, and as it is not my desire to see the party that put in the same sulfer any loss by reason of not being permitted to complete the work lyinnicneed by hint, this oflieo is willing to drop the present controversy, provided Mr. Mlack will agree with you in writing to allow the party who is working the laud on shares', to finish his work, and allow him the same share of the crop that ho would have received from you for his work; the balance of the crop (which the Indians would have received under the arrangement) to go to Mr. Mlack. I can see no reason why Mr. Mlack should not agree to this arrangement, which is to his advantage; and you are requested to inform me hat conclusion is reached in the premises.

Kespectfully, r. J. Mono an, Coiniu r. Had the agent acted upon his instructions, of which the above letters clearly show it to be, the suit now pending would not be as it is. It seems that in his zeal to carry out his nefarious undertakings he still thought he could make Home impression on the departnientat Washington and wrote thotn another letter, hut the department gave him a short, sweet reply in the following telegram Office of Indian Affairs, Washington, 1).

April 27. 18112. To Kust, Agent, Colton, Office instructions of Feb. 10 and March 18, are deemed sufficient for your guidance. T.

J. Mouo.an, Commissioner. Those who have been defending Kust sorely did not know that the above letters had passed to and fro or else they were aiding Kust to rob Klack of his lands and rights. Any fair-minded man, not too dishonest to be fair, can plainly see that Kust has been abusing ids office and that Mlack has been treated wrongfully. About the best thing Kust can do is to step down and out, and give the agency to a man who will act square and honest.
