the people of the other isolated terrific
ries, the Arizonians are anxiously await
ing the appearance in their country Of
the iron horse, when they anticipate the
opening to the world OF one Of the rich
est agricultural, grazing and mining re-
gions in America.
Speaking of senator Jones' mine at
Kernville. the Los Angeles Express says:
When Mr.. Jones purchased all the in
terests outstanding-a transaction which
was fully consumated about a year since
he at once commenced, with his char
acteristic vigor and sagaeity. to unfold
its treasures. He thoroughly and intel.
ligently opened it. He sank O deep
shaft, ran wines and Slopes in various
directions. made convenient levels, cross
cut the ledge at various points. and pros
pected the entire ledge so as to become
IN rapport with its value the whole
length. This astonishing ledge has been
tested for two miles and q half, and
it is immensely rich in gold at every
point. 1t has an averaged breadth Of so
feet, and the main shaft has been sunk
400 feet, all the way in ore. The ledge
varies in value from S25 to $500 per ton.
The richest ore runs in large bodies. and
in nearly all instances it has been left in
the mine. and the medium ore only
taken to mill. 1t is now estimated by
the men in the mine that there is ore
enough in sight to furnish work for the
stamps now in operation for ten years.
The White Pine News says the Oak
land, in Mazeppa Canyon, about two and
half miles from Hamilton, rs turning
out to be good mine. 1t is an old loca-
ton, but has been lying idle for three or
four years, only the assessment work be-
ing done on it. 1t is free milling ore,
very strongly resembling that of the
Eberhardt IL Aurora, and in early times
a number of tons were worked which
milled 500 per ton. There is O shaft
down 60 feet. The ore vein is eight feet
thick, and in the present condition of
the mine, eight or ten tons of ore can be
taken out daily. Why q mine that has
been developed to depth OF 60 feet, and
has vein OF ore eight feet in width. that
will mill 500 per ton, has been allowed
to remain idle for two or three years, is
more than We can explain, but such is
the fact.
The Salt Lake Herald says. The inter
ests Of the Prince of Wales, Highland
Chief and Wellington mines, Big Cot
tonwood, have been consolidated, and
thus ends one of the most fercely con-
tested suits that has grown out of Utah
| mining titles. We do not know upon
what ratio of value the proprietors have
entered into the consolidation, but We
doubt not the uniting Of interests will
prove beneficial to the owners, for, sc
long as the latter were fighting in the
courts to acquire possession. the chic
benefits from the property accrued tt
others than the proprietors. The mines
are in future to be exclusively under tn,
J control and management of Wake
Brothers.
