Mining District Rush Promises Rich Finds on Minnehaha
Randsburg to Atolia and Johanesburg districts report active prospecting in the Rand mining area. The Mabel S vein yields milling ore at 60 feet, while the Minnehaha lease sees widening shoots and coarse gold. Leasers Grenfell Dempsey Walsh and others push deeper sinking, plan headframe upgrades, and expect to increase production and payroll as 100 tons are processed. Trona items note a gold sample near 1000 per ton, a West End soda ash fire, and power line connections aiding the Yellow Aster mill network.
