THE JULIAN GOLD MINES.
Mineralized Quartz Found in Slate at a High Altitude.
W. S. Kerr, general manager of the Wilcox gold mine and mill, Banner district, San Diego county, is in the city, says the San Francisco Examiner of Sunday. The town of Banner, in the Julian mountains, is about thirty-five miles by stage from a point twenty-two miles out on the Cuyamaca railroad. Four stamp mills and one roller mill are running there, and Mr. Kerr says the mines are proving very profitable. Considerable San Francisco capital is invested there. One of the richest mines in the district (the Chavoit) is owned entirely by capital here.
'The quartz is in the slate' said Mr. Kerr yesterday, 'and below is the granite. It is only four miles distant to Julian and not much farther to the big Stonewall gold mine owned by the late Governor Waterman, and now paying $15,000 a month.'
Mr. Kerr has been mining there several years and regards the district as very promising. He says the gold region of the Julian mountains is destined to attract attention strongly.
