It's, Ii. PERSONS JUST from Une mill say
that cleanup had been made short
time previous to their departure, the
result of which was about forty pounds
of excellent gold, worth at least SIG
per ounce. A better ledge had been
developed in the Eugene shaft, and
Messfs Gray & McCarty were highly
pleased. Facts have recently come to
our knowledge, of nature to cause us
to believe that extensive reduction
works will soon be erected, in connec-
ton with the Company's mill; new
mines opened, and progress made in
various other ways. A batch or two
of sulphurets will soon be tested.
WALKER DISTRICT.
There is full sluice-head of water
in Lynx creek, and the miners-quartz
and placer-are using it for excellent
purposes, running arastras, etc. We
hope to be able to give some results,
soon.
HASSAYAMPA DISTRICT.
The owners of the Davis lode have
caught the spirit, and are now taking
out ore rapidly, few tons of which
are to be taken to the Thundprbolt
mill on Lynx creek, for reduction.
This is the work of our energetic fell
low-townsman, G. e. Bean, who has
recently secured large interest in the
Davis said to be one of the large:t
and richest mines in the Sierra Prieta.
Twenty pack animals are now en-
ployed packing the ore to Lynx creek.
While Sin this district" we might
just as well say that, but for the bad
management and senselessness of cer-
tain mining superintendent" not
less than two mills-the Sterling and
Chase-would be running and paying.
The Sterling lode is undoubtedly rich,
notwithstanding the assertions of one
or two men to the contrary.
w1CKENBURG DISTRICT.
The old and reliable Vulture mill
and mine are working together, har-
moniously, and profitable, as usual
The owners of the first eastern extern
sion have great deal of rich ore out,
and will soon commence crushing
This mine-the Vulture-is about
twelve miles from the mills, which
are ON the Hassayampa.
Recently, in prospecting in the Blue
Mountains, which are situated about
midway between the Vulture and the
Hassayampa, j. M. Herman, a miner
of some note, found ledge which he
called the Bismarck, and which he
says is richer than the Vulture. 1t
is some distance off the road, in belt
of slate, surrounded by upheavals of
trap. He and his associates formed a
new district-the "Blue Mountain"
They have also found indications of
COAL and the chances are that all will
soon be well with them. We sincerely
hope so.
HERE AND THERE.
New lodges have been struck in the
Black Mountains, north of Prescott,
and some Of the ore brought here by
j. M. Branaman yielded largely in
both silver and gold.
H. Bowers and others have had rock
from ledge recently discovered near
the Aqua Fria ranch, tested, which
gave over 500 to the ton III silver.
But few rich strikes have been mace
in the placers, although all are pay
ing fully as we'll as usual. Mr.. Sim
mons, who lives about mile west of |
Prescott, has a placer which he works |
whenever there is water, and we learn
that recently, the proceeds of one days
work with a rocker exceeded fifty dol
lars.
What we have stated in the fore
going, is all very we'll, but we must |
have capital and thinning brains to
bring all this great wealth into play. |
That both will surely come and that
soon, we have no doubt, now that the |
richness of our country is established
that our facilities wood, water, grass
and climate-are known to be plenty |
and good, and that our claim owners
stand ready to give all who may come
3 fair show.
To wind up, we invite good quartz
miners to come here, as their services
are greatly needed.-[Miner, 18th
March.
