Pathe Sun (April 5, 1930)

THE PATHE SUN Kaufmann and Montana Again Lead; New Rush to Gold Bearing Districts Hank Kaufmann, rough and ready Des Moines prospector, and J. Mon- tana, the Broadway gold digger, were again far afield in the dash to the ore bearing districts. Hank was assaying at the remarkable figure of 131.29 and Montana panned the gravel for 3.25. The national results show that time out was taken in a number of sectors, with assays considerably off color. Ed Ballentine, after looking over the tables, said it was evident from the wide open spaces between the leaders and runners-up that many of the trail blazers were getting a second wind. Ed is in high hopes that the claim stakers are again in good physical shape for the strenuous going in the last three weeks in the quartz zone. The Home Office geological specialist expects a new rush this week that will bring the assays up to a more formidable percentage. Miner Ferrand, Omaha, was the biggest threat to Hank, with a dili- 3 to 8 with his wigwam. Heninger, Portland, rallied from 7 to 5, with Lucky Baldwin, Milwaukee, discovering a new workable placer that sent him from 10 to 6. Duffy, New Orleans, weakened and fell away from the front lines, 4 to 10. Canelli, New Haven, crashed along the open trail from 26 to 9. Nick Humm and Dorothy Wright, Indianapolis, featured with a night march. Nick cut loose from 18 to 4 and Dorothy went by the sleeping camps from 28 to 7. The warwhoop of the feminine clan sounded in the stilly and starlight night on the Cashiers’ trail. Miss Cooper, Detroit, took the 5-2 route; Miss Sievers, New Orleans, 4-3; Miss Davis, Kansas City, 8 to 4. Kit- tinger, Washington, moved nearer the mint, with a 7-5 spurt. Cowhig, Cleveland, startled the veterans with a hop from 12 to 6. Gold Rush Extension—2nd Week Ending March 28th—3 to Go BOOKERS CASHIERS Branch Booker Percentage 1. Des Moines H. A.
