 CbrOmO and HannIbIe Mines

 EDITOR CITIZEN Tn my last l prom ised few more items regarding sever al of our mines not previously men. | toned. 1 will now endeavor to make good my promise, and let the public judge for themselves as to the real merits of our mines, both in Globe and Pioneer Districts. It has been stated by some few bad minded and unprin- cipled individuals from California, that the future of our mining districts is doubtful Now in refutation of such statements, will briefly mention the following facts without fear of be- ing contradicted by Pushbacker, one of the individuals who figure promi- nently ID San Francisco in reporting adversely on our mines. Everybody has heard of the S:onewall Jackson mine, and everybody qualified to judge knows 1t to be the best and richest mine ever discovered on this coast. The Imperial mine owned by the Mason Bros is located on the Stone VII, Jackson l-ad and las been con sjdei4LIy developed Su far there has been no ore shipped from the mine for the reason that tine owners are in easy circumstances and do not propose 10 have the ores extracted from the mine reduced until such time as .hey can have the work done at home, thereby avoiding the expense of shipping to California. There is now stored at the mine about four tons of ore which will average S2000 per ton, and fully twen- ty thousand dollars in sight Within the past thirty days the tunnel started on the southwest end of the mine, has been completed with very satisfactory results to the owners, having cut the main vein, showing a body of ore four feet wide, which will average $l50 per ton. Since the discovery of ore in the tunnel, NIT. Mason informs me th4t he does not intend selling, but will con tInue to further develop the mine. The Centennial mine is another val uable claim. The owners are Doe l Wilson and John Gibbons. The mine is situated about three-quarters of a mile southeast of Ramboz Camp, and has been more fully developed than any other claim in the district Alto gether there is about two hundred and fifty feet of shafiing on the mine, all of which has been accomplished by the labor of the owners. Three shafts have been sunk on the vein and in each of them the vein has increased in width from four inches as II appeared on the surface, to thirtytwO inches at a depth of forty feet. Three tons of ore has been selected from the dumps which will average S2500 to the ton, leaving about fifteen tons of second-class ore worth from three to eight hundred dol lars per ton.
 The owners of this mine are negOtla. ting a sale which if consumated, will reward them for their many hard days work in developing 2 the claim.
 The Perdeza mine (commonly called the Mexican) is another valuable piece of mining property. The owners are rapidly developing the mine with very satisfactory results.
 The ChrOmo mine belonging 10 Un- cle Jimmy Moore and Daye Beardsly, (every body knows DaYe,) is looming up, and with the present prospects it is reasonable to suppose that if Dave keep his lick up in developing, the ChrOmO will be second to none in the district
 The Hanible mine, which is the first northeast extension of the StOnewall Jackson, is being rapidly developed Within the last week at a depth of fifty three feet body of ore six feet wide has been stripped, the ore will average one thousand dollars to the ton. The mine, like the Stonewall, is closed to outsiders for the reason that the ore is valuable.
 For a distance of three or four miles south of the Silver King, there IS sev- eral promising claims being prospect ed, viz; the Copper Top, the Gift, the Mabel, the Belcher, the Goodenough, the Eureka and the Cottonwood. all of which show evidences of beng good mines, ant will be the subject of an ether letter at no distant day. o. 5.
