Arizona weekly enterprise., 1882-04-01

chased by MT. McGreggor has proven to be a valuable property. The vein varies in width from one to three feet, and is rich in native silver and sulphurets. Mac is sanguine that he has the world by the ear. The Morning Star mine is still pro ducing a liberal quantity of bullion, and has paid higher dividends than any mine at the Canyon. It looks as we'll, if not better than ever. The Lincoln mill is expected to start up soon. Want of funds seems to be the only drawback, as there is plenty of first-class ore on the dump. Pink-eye is striking terror in the hearts of the Canyonites.- Free Press
 Mir. w. c Warrington, the superinten- dent of the Arizona Queen Company, was in town yesterday from Groom Creek. He states that work on the mill IS being pushed, new chimney stack having been erected this week. The mill will not probably be in full operation before the first of May, as there is much yet to be done in order to facilitate the easy and economical handling of the ore. In order to give some idea of the Groom Creek rock, all we need say is that from two tons of average ore recently treated by arrastra process, S127 in gold was secured. MT. Smith, of the hydraulic diggings, Lynx Creek, was at L. Bashford & Co.'S store yesterday, loading supplies. He had just cleaned up his sluices, and as pay for 125 working days, got 70 ounces of gold worth about SIS an ounce, making S1 ,260, over $l0 for every days work put in on the claim.--J. Hessler, persevering placer miner, who operates a claim on Granit Creek, about one mile above the plaza, Prescott, called on the Courier last even ing and exhibited piece of gold which weighed S2. 50 and several smaller pieces. As areturn foryesterday' s work, he showed us $20 worth of gold Comment on these results is unnecessary. The stuff is here.
 Calling at Bray X Co.'S last evening, Mir. Frank M. Murphy showed up some rich gold rock just brought in from the neighborhood of Bmnblebee station, Black Canyon district, by the irrepressible Fer guson. The richest ore was from H. Wickenburg's Inconoclast mine which is now richer than ever before. Professor Shafer is getting matters in shape for handling and smelting ores in Walker district. -E. s. Junior has men at work on his Bradshaw mines. The Cougar shaft is now filled with rich silver of the ruby order.-Messrs. Holmes, Spence and Delaney are in from Turkey Creek district and report mines out there in good condition. The Tusculnbia mill and mine are well thought of. A great many men are constantly employed at both institu- tions Nevada mining men, lately arrived here, will visit this district in day or two. Prescott Courier.
 A correspondent writing to the Phoenix Herald has the following to say of the Pi- oneer camp:-Pioneer is located eigh- teen miles from Globe on the west slope of the Pinal mountains and five miles from the summit. The gulch is well watered and the camp has a good wagon road nearly completed to the mountains for wood and timber. At the present time there Is employed at the various mines roads and grades about 15O men. The principal mine at the present time Is the South Pioneer, although am con- tident that there are others that will prove to be fine properties. This South Pioneer has had considerable said ill its favor by some of the Territorial journals, and it has had considerable against it by some. consequently the mine must come out on its merit before ''the whole truth and nothing but the truth" is known, and under the present circumstances I'll make some predictions regarding it. viz: In six or eight months, if development is con- tinued with the same vigor as at present, it will make as good if not better showing than any mine in the Territory, My ' reason for this statement is this: I have known the mine for about four years and 1t has always been self-sustaining and the | deeper they sink the better it gets. At the present time the company isworking on the l00-foot level. The dritt at this point IS ill 125 feet and the ore averages over two feet in thickness The quartz and vein matter in the cross-cut at this depth shows thickness of fifty feet. The ore body l speak os shows but few inches in thickness on the surface, and becomes
 two and three feet at 100, so I claim that the company can look for a larger body at
 the 2O0-foot level. Four years ago I visit.
 ed the great renowned Silver King. ex.
 amined its ore, and assayed it. find by
 comparison that the South Pioneeris equa
 to that at the same depth; and with my
 experience and close observations of the
 past and present I pronounce this camp tC
 be one ofthe leaders of the Territory within
 the above stated time. At the presen
 time the camp has one boarding house
 one grocery and general merchandise stere
 two saloons having some merchandise,
 branch of Shein & Co.,, of Globe, consist ing of ready-made clothing, dry goods
 etc., and now being erected bakery an, restaurant combined and good prospec of another boarding house, so you see tn camp is supplied with something to wear eat and "DRINK." There is considerabl prospecting being done in this vicinity
