Arizona weekly enterprise., 1882-10-21

specimen of metallc silver that assays 50 per cent silver This is as rich as polybasite and the lower workings of the Vckol show no inconsiderable amount of this remark ably rich ore. The force at the mine has been increased to thirteen and large shipment of selected ore will be made on the 1st and similar shipments will be made at regular intervals, during the fall and winter.
 Gen. Jordan, editor of the New York Mining Record, and a gentleman of large scientific knowledge, passed through here Friday en route to Silver King, and stopped long enough to pay the ENTER PRISE call He will make a personal examination of several of our most prom inent mining districts before leaving the Territory and we regret that he cannot visit all the districts cf this matchless Arizona, as his report of them in the Record would have great weight at the east
 Gov. Tritle has appointed Mir. J. w. Davis, of this place, probate judge, vice G. L. Wratten, resigned There is a diff ference of opplnion as to where the ap pointing power rests. Some members ot the legal fraternity hold the Supervisors are the proper authorities to fill the va cancy while others maintain that the gov ernor only has the power to appoint. The law on the subject is about as clear as mud, and should be made over by the next legislature. MT Davis has filed his bond and taken possession of the office.
 A correspondent writes tho Stock E.c- change that the ''Pinal Consolidated has many thousand tons of ore out and in sight, all of which is true. He might have added also, that an abundance of iron ore and lime, suitable for Aux, had been found within few miles of the fur mace, through the energetic efforts of MT Mason, and that the mines and furnace will be started up soon with force about 200 strong. The only thing delaying the starting now is the want of charcoal and that will soon be supplied, as the kiln for burning the coal is nearly completed.
 MT. Griffith, of the Te1as and Arizona stage company, and the South Pioneer Mining Company, have gone into CO., partnership in the matter of building a wagon road out from Globe to connect with the Pioneer road at the summit. We have it from pretty good authority that they will put thousand men to work on the road on the 1st of next month and push it to completion with lightning rapidity They intend to make it a frst-class road in ever particular and will charge small toll for the purpose of keeping it in repair, and getting back 8 portion of the cost of building it. It will be an excellent road to team over as there will be no scarcity of water and grass along the route and hay and barley can te secured at almost any point between the depot and Pioneer.
 A correspondent, writing for the Stock Exchange, says: "The Silver King Com pany have replaced their old hoisting works at the mine with new ones of greater capacity, new shops and saw mills and are now grading for ore-house bins and rock breaker, which will be complet- ed before the end of the year. Their shaft is down 732 feet, and the lowest level TIP feet This level has. supplied their reduction works ct Pinal the present year, and the breast and sides are still in good ore l am told that sinking of the shaft will be resumed as soon as timbers ordered arrive. The ore Is very base, containing large percentage of zinc, trouble in their roasting and teaching de- partmeut. It concentrates well on the concentrators, however, of which they are adding six more to the six now in use. The roasters will have to be remodeled and altered somewhat before they can do satisfactory work. There is more ore in sight in the mine than when I was here last; the company are working about 160 men daily. The towns of Pinal and Sil- yer King are growing in size and in sub staritial improvements"
 The ENTERPRISE was made the recip- tent of very pleasant call, this week, from Col. Richard H. Spencer, of New York City. He is prominent member of the New York bar and came hither tc pay off the indebtedness of the Old Do- minion Copper Company, and accomplish ed the object of his mission by counting out the shining shekels to the creditors te the amount of SIP, ,000. This is Col Spencer's first visit to this sunny cline and he finds much to marvel at in ou mineral fields. He is very enthusiastic over the mining outlook here and ex presses the belief that Arizona will soor lead all other sections in copper pro duo ton. His opinion on this point is vel grounded and he might have added, witt eaqual correctness, that she will. alst i, lead in silver production before many more links in the chain of years havt rounded the January turn.
