Mining Notes.


 which point they are drifting south In 23 feet, all the way in low grade ore Expect to cut under main croppings in about II feet, which will test the value of the ledge.--C. 0. D.-This mine has been started up, with the best of results. Have a 4-foot vein; feet of rich ore. The property is under bond for six months and the bondee has every prospect of bonanza. -. Vizina - Have resumed work on both the north and south drifts on the 400-foot level. Country rock quartz and porphyry, and looking very encouraging The drift on the 300-foot level is extended 98 feet in good working ground and expect to strike the ledge and connect with the upraise from the 400 level at about 150 feet. Still ship ping fine quality of ore from the upper levels. -Thunderbolt Have put in an air pipe for ventilation, and will continue shaft down about 10 feet, and then cross cut to prospect adjoining veins. Pros poets good. The north drift on the 400-foot level 900 feet, and that on the 450 like distance. The south drift on the 450-feet is in low grade ore The distance run is only 50 feet, and as that is in the distance of Tranquility they are likely to get it rich any day, it al ready showing marked improvement. The west crosscut on the 450 level is in 150 feet in hard lime. The stopes on the 400 and 450-foot levels are looking we'll Last week they took out some rich ore from the 450-foet stopes Have 1,500 tons second grade ore on the dump that will mill $40 per ton. Are sinking winze on 400-foot level. The mine never be- fore looked so well as now -Blue Mon day.-Have struck new ore body in the south drift on the 90-foot level Can not tell its extent at present time as 1t has but recently been found. The north drift is nearing the region of the surface out crop, and the indications are favorable for getting good ore body, This drift is in so feet and from 10 to b more should catch the contact vein The south drift is in35 feet We were shown beautiful and rich specimen that came from the new ore body, last evening, which indicates the find to be of great value. -Republican.
 Probably the largest bulk of quartz to be found on the Continent is that four miles southwest of Prescott, and gener- ally called Quartz Mountain A low esti- mate would place it at billion or two of tons. A company was formed a few years since to bore through this mountain half mile below its apex, but owing to some members of tine company being kill ed, others leaving the country, etc, the project fell through. and Quartz Noun tain remains to-day just as it was found over Is years ago. The same character of croppings as found on this immense quartz deposit predominates in the Has sayampa district where, after sinking be- meath water level sulphurets are invar- iably found, and very rich in silver and gold. 4 company with a few thousand dollars to expend in prospecting, could not do better than to bore large tunnel through Quartz Mountain and more than likely tap the largest mine in the world. I ,{-, to justify all outlay of a few thousand dollars in investigation. This immense deposit IS situate near running stream of water and in th very heart of dense forest of pine, cedar and oak, which would render the reduction of ores very cheap. Ten dollar ore from Quartz Mountain would be the best property in Arizona, by odds. Miner.
 As that old timer, Judge John A. Rush, arrived from Big Bug mining district Tuesday evening. we interviewed him. He visited the Dividend, Ticonderoga. Belcher and other mines, talked over old tilaes with T. w. Boggs and c. E. Hitch cock. The Ticonderoga shaft, which yielded great many tons of rich gold rock, was filled with water. The Judge has an offer of cash for some of these mines, hence his trip. The large mine discovered few months ago by Vim. Ga win holds its size remarkably well. It was about 16 feet thick at top and is fully that wide in the shaft, which is now down upwards of 40 feet. Mir. Hitchcock is prospecting it for "lay out" of some
