he Verde mountains. The Phoeni&
is doubtless the most promising mine
of this district. The ledge is gold
bearing quartz of large dimensions
and was proftably worked in past
years by the arrastrs. Development
work already done is said to show
3 half million dollars worth of ore
ip sight.
This mine has recently been pur-
chased by the Phoenix Mining Eom-
pany of NeE York; and it is4said 10
be the intention of the company tc
erect 100 stamp mill at an early
day. Competent Mining engineers,
after thoroughly examining the mine
give the assurance THAT it can readi-
ly supply q mill of this capacity.
This will be the first 100 stamp mill
of ;he Territory: the next in siZe
being the Vvlture of so stamps
The Golden Star is also a gold
mine; its shaft has attained depth
of 60 feet upon the ledge exposing
body of fine looking quartz. This
mine is supplied with a 10 stamp
mill and has produced uPwaTdsl of
$4,000 in gold bullion.
The Rackensack is located on q
two foot vein of gold quartz. Its de-
velopments consist of shaft ITO
feet in depth and a tunnel go feet
long. Assays running as high as
$40 to the ton in gold. The ledge
seems to improve in richness and
width as depth is gained.
The Lion is also situated en- gold
quartz ledge, carryin four foot
vein, from which assays of $40 10
the ton IN gold have been had. 1t is
opened By q sc foot shaft and drift:
so feet ID extent. It's bullion output
is in excess of $4,000 in value,
The Carbonate Chief IS the princi-
pal silver mine of this locality. The
vein isz feet in width, Of carbonate
ore, which assays $50 10 the ton in
value. and carries both gold and sIl-
yer. Il is opened by shaft so feet
in oepth and other openings are un-
der contract.
The Panther is neighboring To-
cation and is opened by several
shafts and tunnels from hich good
ore is being extracted. The vein is
large and similar to that of the Car
banate Chief. Both of these mines
are owned by the same company,
which intends at an early day to
erect 40 stamp mill for the treat
ment of their ores.
The Panther Nc. . is also C iccav
tion of this district 1t is opened by
shaft 90 feet deep, at which depth
its promise Of rich ore is good.
The GAlena Prince is said to be
promising; assays Of its ore show 80
ounces silver to the ton, SIS gold
and As per cent lead.
EConsiderobIe work has been donc
on the following locations: Gold
Hill, Maricops, Hunters Rest, Gath
arine, Chico and Deseret, from al
of which good ores have been cx>
tracted.
Near Reno mountain is located the
Brown Brothers mine, upon which
large surface Developments in the
way of open cuts have been made,
from three of these some 800 tons of
ore has already been taken that will
assay about S35 to the ton. The
company owning this property in
tend building a 40 stamp mill on
Cave Creek.
wINNIFRED DISTRICT
IS about Is miles north of Phoenix.
The Iedges are generally gsld quartz
il a granite or slate formation. The
district is u new one but promises
weI.
The Union is the principal Eaine, it
is opened by shaft rs feet deep on
vein S11s feet wide.
The Scarlet, Gila Monster, NoguI,
San Diego and Red Dog are all
promising Developments that assay
from SIS to $75.
MAGAZINE DISTRICT
Is also situated in the Cave Greek
Basin.
The Red Rover is the principal
mine, it has been opened by shaft
SO feet deep, at which point a large
body of ore was found that runs
from $4,000 to $4,000 to the ton in
silver; the ledge is large and can
easily be traced by its croppin gs.
Shipments of small quantities Of
selected ore have been sampled in
San Francisco, which yield from
$4,000 to $4,000 to the ton. The
entire ledge has been located and
are actively prospected.
The Red Rover ledge extends in g
north east and northwest direction
to Gram mountain, which has long
been regarded as a fine mineral sec.
tion. The extraordinary richness of
this ledge will doubtless stimulate
prospecting over the entire belt and
will result in the discovery of other
| good property.
