The Arizona sentinel., 1879-07-05

citement last fall
 The Silver King suspended div
 idends in October last. The only 1 astonishing thing is that, Tn re-
 zion which was so expensive ''
 mine in as Arizona b. fore the
 completion of the Souther'. "
 cific to the Colorado, and "''h !"
 ,nino which has only attained the
 tri6ing depth of 257 feet it was
 evev able to pay any. It is new
 ;,, . condition to yield bullion at a
 ,nost gratifying rate, and divi-
 aoud. will shortly be resumed.
 , three compartment shaft has
 inst been completed in which the
 boisting will be done by steam.
 Competent miners declare that TWO and half million dollars are in sight at this inconsiderable depth, in the old workings. The lode runs east and west at an an-
 gle of thirty degrees, dipping to the north. The old workings are on an incline on the foot Wall, fol. lowing it from the cropplngs down. The new three compart-
 ment shaft has been sunk vertl
 caIly and is now down to a depth of 1sO feet. At depth of 157
 feet the hanging wall and the
 vein were cut. The shaft will be
 continued'till it fairly cuts the
 vein, whicE' iii; expected to do at depth ofsone~ hundred feet further, Three shifts of men are now working day and night, and the new steam hoisting works are assisting operations very ma tcrially.
 , An early resumption and con- f tfnuance of dividends by the Sil-
 yer King are inevitable. We see by the "Stock Exchange" that , the concentrations shipped to San Francisco for the month of May amounted to S35,O00. Thus far in , June concentrations amounting to , about sixty tho-and doll,rs, if we , remember right, have been for warded to San Francisco. The
 mine as it, stands now, without any further developments, IS ca nabIe of turning out from 1o,00o e to 20. 900 pounds of concentrations a a week, low average of theii o value being Sl pound.
 u Nor is this all. The process hS J. which these concentrations have IT heen obtained takes all the meta IS from the rock but leaves the chi''
 rides of silver, with which th' e Silver King ore is heavily charged l. There are sixteen thousanG ton e- of tailings at the mine which vii l. average sl9 to the ton in chlo l. rides. The mill is being provided E with amaTgamators, rars ana set D. tiers which will save this sum o' in all ore which is hereafter produces b. and utilize all the bullion in tn " accumulated tailings. Taken al lg together, there is no mine on tn CT American continent with such ar history as the Silver Kings. n- During tho delay incident | 'n. putting the mine in its presef he state of forwardness- it becam nd necessary to exclude the larg .n number Of curiosity seekers wh he desired to see it, and who, { of course, expected to carry off spe he imens of ore so rich as lg- make such a practice an O
 
 ,is- erous burden. The exclusion . of these people gave rise to a nur
 Der of unfounded rumors to t ng, effect that the owners of tho mi yer were afraid to have it inspecte ich Col. Barney informs us that iffi- every case, to properly accredlt red nersons, a visit 10 tho mine V Sual freely conceded. The Silver Ri 'ns- to-day is open to inspection 10 ,nd- to whom the extension of sue un- courtesy would be proper,- gan " -' N
