Gold Mining Vets See New Action In Rand District
Randsburg and surrounding mining camps report ongoing development amid ore finds and plans. Frank Allen and Yellow Aster holdings show a 20 inch streak of gold bearing ore, with weight and value pending due to ore weathering. New leasers and prospecting crews push mills, roads, and drills as Harden and Harden ship cargoes from the Kelly shaft and nearby claims. Mrs. Edmonds and Kelley eye further prospects in Consolidated Mines holdings.

Mining Congress at Sacramento Last Saturday
Alden Anderson, president of Capital National Bank in Sacramento, urged tax remission on gold mines and for California to assume Workmen's Compensation Insurance costs for the gold mining industry. He also proposed raising the U.S. Mint gold price from 20.67 to 25 per ounce 1000 fine, to compel other nations to follow or risk gold drain. Anderson, a former California lieutenant governor and state bank superintendent, called it the most practical relief for the mining sector.

Valuable new mineral found in desert
A boron containing mineral named razorite or kermite was discovered in the Mojave desert, deep beneath the surface. Found in 600 to 800 feet depth, it is colorless and transparent, with high purity in places, and differs from common borax in structure and water content. Likely formed by volcanic activity with potential uses in glassmaking and sanitary ware glazes.
