Mining Activity Expands Around Barstow Amboy District
Barstow remains a hub for mining men as Amboy district shows active development. Bob Allison builds a mill on the Geld Belt property, 15 miles north of Amboy, with several tunnels and shafts already completed. The Gold Belt, owned by Allison and associates, reports ongoing work and no stock sales. Y. P. McClintock, previously selling Siam claims, now pursues Golden Septre with machinery, while Allison maintains a five-man team in Sisun Mountain. About 16,000 tons of iron ore have been shipped from the property, and development equipment including a jack hammer and compressor is on site.
