Big Development Work In The Randsburg District
Randsburg October 25. District buzzes over the Bisbee Bray lease on the Atolia Claim with R. R. Bray and a Los Angeles syndicate backing all interests. Engineer Parker leads operations, Tom Lane mine boss, and a full crew plus new machinery aims to reach a thousand feet underground. The Kelly Mine mill nears completion with a test run around November 15. Tailings and water wells near Red Mountain attract local interest as government veteran lands are located. Coyote Claim progress includes a shaft to 650 feet and planned crosscuts, with stock sales proving strong despite no commissions. Edward Grady plans to sink to 1000 feet if warranted, potentially triggering a Rand district boom. J. B. McAnear expands near-silver zone claims.
