10 Working Materials.
The SENTINEL has made mention, on
several occasions, Of the above mining dis
trict; Of its convenient location, and the
wonderful facilities Nature has afforded for
the expeditions and cheap working Of the
enormous quantities Of ore there discov-
cred. By the arrival Of Mr.. John sulli-
van, who is largely interested there, we
are put in fresh knowledge Of how matters
are going, and what the prospects now are
for that camp. Mr.. Sullivan left that Sec
ton about a week ago, and has been So
journing on business at different points
along the road, thus being longer than is
usually necessary in making the trip.
Although the camp is suffering from the
drawbacks which beset every newly dis
covered mining section, Mr.. Sullivan
thinks that / X L is now fairly on the road
to prosperity. OF the
NEW TEN-sTAsP MILL,
Mr.. Sullivan says that it is a "sure thing"
The San Francisco parties who are inter-
ested in the outcome of TX L have offered
to put in a 10-stamp mill which will cost
not less than $50. 900, if the outside parties,
mine-owners and others, will raise one
half the amount, Chas. Kayser & Co. have
guaranteed to take the balance Of the
stock, and Mr.. Kayser expects the Eureka
parties who are interested in the mines
there to take their proportion. There are
MANY forffau living in ETtrata who arc in
terested, more or less in / x L, and Mr..
Sullivan has come down to see what they
will do towards the mill. Although he
has been here but q couple Of days, he says
all the parties have signifed their willing
ness to do their part.
The location OF the mill has not been
definitely decided upon, but it is to be con-
veniently situated for the benefit Of the en-
tire camp. Mr.. Kellogg, who WINS three
very fine properties, the Black Prince, Nos.
l and Q, and the old I x L mine, has m
tracted to furnish Black Prince ore for the
mill to run on for three months, and get
ting the same out at his own expense, and
If his management should not prove salts
factory, financially, he is willing to turn
over his valuable properties in that district
to the mill company. This is a fair, square
proposition IN tina part Of Mr.. Kellogg,
and signifies his faith in the wealth Of the
district.
Taking ell advices from / X L, and
they agree upon this one thing, that there
is enough $~30-croppings, within 90 feet OF
the surface, on the Iron Point. Bayfield,
and Black Prince mines, to run a 20-stamp
mill five years. The assertion sounds big,
but we have been assured Of it 80 often,
and by so many different parties who have
been upon the ground, that we feel no hes
itancy in publishing it to the world as a
fact. Another beauty of / X L as a camp
of worth, consists in the fact that a salt
is only Is miles away, and salt in
any quantity can be put down at the mill
for $3.50 per ton. At Grantsville salt costs
S35 10 $3.50, and the ores do not
with so assays made, as much as
| X L ores, which run over $40 per ton.
And again, at the head of the salt marsh is
a range of hills containing copper and the
other minerals-in fact, all the chemicals
for the treatment of ores in that
district can be obtained close at hand.
THE MINES.
The Bayfield, is being worked by two
shifts /; the hosting works are run by
power they are running for
the east wall from the 150-foot level, and
are taking out some Of the finest chloride
ore ever seen in the camp, which will be
tested in body very soon. An average is
now here in Eureka. They have now on
the dump $50 tom Of ore.
The Black Prince Nos. l and 2 is being
worked. Just now they are sinking a shaft.
The ore from this mine runs from $3.50 to
per ton. chloride.
Chicago parties are expected along i'm
to look at the Spar mine. They
are sinking a working shaft upon this prop
erty. and if not sold to Chicago capitalists,
ore hosting will be the order.
All the workings of the Annie Allen
mine have developed q solid mass of $50
ore. Jim Allen, of Eureka, WINS this
property, and it is considered a good one.
VIM. Cox owns q mine over there, with
q 4-foot vein of bromide ore, which assays
all the way from $50 to $500 per ton. 1t
is known as the Estella. Mr.. Cox is taking
out immense quantities Of ore.
The Iron Point tunnel is in 200 feet. At
a distance of $50 feet from the face q vein
of $50 ore was cut, which wa three feet in
width, upward Of one-half being gold.
The workmen stopped out q little chamber
and filed up the dump-40 tons Of ore, of
the value we mentioned above.
In the East Star is found more lead than
in any other mine in this district. The
owners have 40 or 80 tons Of excellent ore
upon their dump.
TOWN N BUILDINGS.
The town of / X L District is Roseville,
and it was so named from being located in
Wild Rose canyon. In summer the gulch
is a mass of wild roses. with plenty Of
water and nut-pine timber all about.
The buildings lately put up and in course
Of erection at present are as follows:
H. Schneider is erecting a large adobe
building for saloon and restaurant.
Charles Martini has an adobe completed
for q business house.
Henry Lawrence has q neat and commo-
dious concrete residence.
AS. Mckenzie is putting up q residence.
Mr.. Jenkins, the assayer, has nearly
completed a residence; also an assay Office.
In fact, the outlook Of I X L was never
better, and the people over there know it.
Shameful Thing to Do.
