Gold Strike Bubbles From Death Valley Prospect
Band District News reports Andy Johnson recovering but still frail after a hemorrhage. Prospector Meyrick allegedly locates a promising lodge between Lead and Lead Pipe Springs near Death Valley with high grade gold, while the Coyote mine ships ore and plans to reach the 800 foot level. Shipments by Horace V. Winchell proceed as engineers push cross cuts and ore bodies near Fester ground. Andy Johnson was felled en route to vote, now in precarious condition.

Ruth Scribner joins ranks of proud new arrival at camp
November 6 at 9:40 a.m. Ruth Phyllis Scribner weighed eight pounds at Dr Denton’s hospital, a robust birth celebrated by Roscoe and mother. The correspondent notes Ruth’s likeness to her father and her mother’s temperament, while pondering a future in national life. The piece then shifts to Randsburg mining tales. Jesse Jewett’s passing after a long illness is mourned by a close friend. The column follows prospecting lore from Lead Springs where F M Shady Myrick reports ore samples with the Myrickite stone attracting attention. Local geologists T T Lane and John Williams join to inspect new finds, as the writer recalls two Mormon pack trains and black gold legends from the desert. The narrative closes with a tour of the Midnight Quartette and Black Gold claims, tied to the anniversary of the Lanes and a meal at Angels Camp.
