Red Lake and Mojave Gold Rush Tales Reach Vast Prospects
A sprawling feature reports Red Lake’s booming gold strike in Ontario with Towle Red Lake Syndicate leaders toutting strong surface shows and a vast ten mile by thirty mile zone to be prospected. It notes 1600 chifras staked, a vein near 1000 feet long, and a projected spring stampede rivaling the Klondike. In California’s Mojave desert near Bakersfield, prospectors flood in as old mines resurface. Austin Boreham’s early drill near Keamer Hills yielded ore worth $1,000 a ton, spurring a rush to Kruner and surrounding gulches despite warnings from veteran miners.
