Arizona weekly citizen., 1883-09-08
works at Kingman last week.-Mohav, County Miner.

r Jesse Benton mill Will be started U P soon. There are a number of good lit
 mines in the Owl Head district, and V
 should think it would not be hal matter to keep the Jesse Benton mi busy on high grade ore.
 There are a number of mines betwee the Jesse Benton and De-ert static tha. carry small veius of free millin
 ore of good grade which would pay
 work. The ores from these mines coul
 be brought in to Desert station an
 shipped to Benson or Tucson, when ou
 smelters are completed, and worke
 with good profit.
 Silver Belt.-The camp Is improvin
 lately, and new buildings are being erec
 ted since the mines are proving payinl investments.
 The South Pioneer mine IS taking on lots of rich ore on the different levels under the efficient management of Jo seph Bonney.
 The Howard Mining Company's ter stamp mill has been running steadily [ couple of months, and its run has no been e1celled in the district, having turned out over S6O,OOO worth of bullion since she first dropped her stamps.
 The Pioneer five stamp mill IS badly in need of water, but manages to make favorable showing.
 Drill: Mount VIew.-They are drift ing and are obtaining very fine ore They work three shifts. This week they are repairing the road. somewhat dam aged by the big storm.
 Speciepsying.-The company IS sink ing for water for their mill to be built. They are down 70 feet and have found water, but not is sufficient quantity yet. They are going deeper. We understand they are now getting SO gallons per hour, but are working for 1900 gallons per hour.
 Superior.-Ten miners gre working, further developing the mine and ac- cumulating ore and they obtain the best results. The mine will now be thoroughly developed before starting the mill again. A fair quality of ore is now obtained and mine looks decidedly better as work progresses.
 Frankfort.-They are sinking shaft and are down 40 feet, in ore similar to the Silver King Syenite carrying zink blende and averaging Sl0 per ton silver It is big strike and likely to prove an immense mine.
 The Monarch of the Sea IS again at work after the clouldburst, and all boulders and sand is removed from the shaft and roads.
 The effects of the late cloudburst at Silver King are almost obliterated. By immense effort and prompt energy the piles of boulders, rocks and sand accu- mulated in the streets and on the roads have been removed. Boulders weighing many tons were piled up and general terrestrial Arrangement had taken place Much property was injured and de- stroyed, but all is passed and repaired again.
 CACHIsE COUNTY.
 There is nothing new to record from this county. The work of preparation and placing of pumps in the Contention is progressing. This mine and the Grand Central continue to raise suf- feient ore to keep the mills going. We take the following summary of Cochise county mines from the Re publican:
 Golden Rule.-This mine was original ly offered for S5,OOO, but the owners be- ing desirous of opening it out, obtained the assistance of MT. Crawford, banker of Silver City, who has put up consider able capital to help forward the work The consequence is that S6OO,00O was lately refused for the mine, and now a 20-stRmp mill has been erected in close proximity to the mine, which it is ex- pected will be started up on Monday, the Sd, inst. -day.l
 Big Comet.-A 4O-foot shaft has been sunk showing up a ledge of ore varying in width from 21l to 31s feet, between solid walls. The ore carries iron and manganese, and exists in live forma- tion. The assay shows its average value to be about 60 ounces per ton.
 Randolph.-Work on this mine has been stopped by the chloriders, as the ore being somewhat of a low grade, has been declined by the Benson smelter they having decided, owing to the large quantity they have on hand and con trscted for in Sonora, not to work less than slO0-ore.
 BOnanza.-The encouraging nature of the developments this last week, which has opened out vein Ia narrow one, it is true) of really rich ore, deciding the owners to launch out and really make mine of their property. The force of men has been doubled.
 Dwarf.-This mine has been leased to Kelso and Reid, who have started in to sink on the shaft. The shaft is BOW down 35 feet, and they have exposed 1 their well known ledge to the full size of the shaft. The ore IS similar to what 1 has been already shipped to the Wore noco smelter, and is. if anything, richer | than that heretofore obtained.
 Prompter.-A new strike IS reported | in this mine. The find was made in the | crosscut in the east drift, on the 75-foot level of shaft No. ,. This body of ore has been expected to be run on to for some time, and the discovery will be hailed with joy by more than one de- lighted stockholder, as well as this com munIty. Immediately after the strike | winze was started, sinking on the ore body, and which at this writing has been sunk to a depth of l9 feet, all in ore of l very high grade. Measurements of the | ore body show 1t to be about s feet | wide, very solid and compact. This is the largest body of rich ore ever en- countered in the Prompter.
 Ruby.-Shaft No. ? IS now 100 feet deep. The first station has been put in, and a drift started north on the vein which is in now over 30 feet. Some good ore IS being taken out.
 BIsBEE.
 Silver Bear.-Work progresses most satisfactorily, the developments made gong to prove permanency of ore that was little expected.
