WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.
PIMA COUNTY.

PIMA COUNTY.
 Messrs. Aaron Mason aud Fred Adams, says the Enterprise, returned this week from the QuIiotos mountsIns, and are enthusiastic over the rich strike there. The owners are taking ore from the sur face to ship to Benson and the mine has every appearance of being one of the largest and richest in the Territory. The report circulated here and at Pinal to the effect that the ore body had pinched out, Is utterly groundless, says Mir. Mason. The lowest assay had from the ore of this property went s700.
 The Total Wreck.-Last week we an- nOunced in these columns that the mine and mil Ol the above company were shut down. We learn within the past day or two that work in a quiet way is gong on m the mIne, and that a number of men have been put to work within the past few days. It IS also stated that large amounts of high grade ore have been struck, and that the mlne never was more promising. Why the mill was shut down no one knows.
 The Warsaw mill, in Gro Blanco dis trict, we are informed, recently started up on custom work It IS now about tO begin run on Montana ore, winch Is one of the Orion COmpany's mines There IS a large amount of ore in reach ID the Montana, but it remains to be seen whether 1t can be successfully treated by the company's works.
 s.F s,.f prospectors shipping ore from the yicln- ity of the old Harshaw camp, the old Mowry mine and Washington Camp n the Patagonia mountains, and from Iyn- dall district, Tn the Santa Rita moan taIns, to the Benson smelter, with very fair results; Crittenden, on the SonoIta, formerly known as Casa Blauco, is the shipping point
 CHA AND FINAL COUNTIES.
 Drill: On the Eureka the work con tinues and the mIll Is abundantly sup piled with ore from that mine. They have used 800 tons this week and ship ped 15 bars of bullion, value; $500 to S2,OO0 each. Fifteen men are employed in the mine.
 On the Surpriser, they have opened drifts and the result has been good gold quartz, found. If that mine continues as it has begun, It will soon make its mark in the district.
 In the Silver King work goes on as usual At the mill they had to hang mp the stamps owing to lack of water. We need rain very much, rain that will fill up the ravines, the creeks and the wells.
 On the Monarch of the Sea, they have greatly enlarged their working force. They are working several drifts and they are taking out good ore. They have worked at 1t quietly but to-day they en- plOy more men than any other mIne lu the vicinity with the exception of the King. They are sinking as fine a double shaft and have cut through several heavy feeders of very rich ore from the main vein. Iwenty-twO men are COB stantly employed They are also build ing road from the village of Silver King to the mine
 Enterprise The Alice tunnel, at Mineral Hill, has penetrated ore lying on the foot wall. The crOsscut has not | reached the foot wall yet, and 1t Is not known how wlde the pay streak Is. IEe i ore is galeDa in quartz As soon as the 1 foot wall shall have been reached at this | point The new work n the north end l of the claim looks well, the cut showing a ten-foos streak carrying chlorides.
 The Tiger mine-We learned from Mir | Kennedy that force of men are still at | work on the Tiger mine with very grRti- | fylng results. The shaft IS down 70 feet 1 and at the bottom of 1t the pay streak is | BE- feet wide and solid ore all the way across. The assay value of the ore at ! the bottom of the shaft IS S5j in silver JaIilfy TpIuas hlrrsA,. "eyeuar This IS cer- the shaft the pay streak was only Few inches wide, but gradually and regularly widened from tine surface down.
 The Ray mine-T There is a body Of ore now in sight 100 feet long. 10 feet vide and 50 feet deep and at tine bottom O! both winzes are still in solid ore. There is no doubt that the Ray is a marvel ously rich copper property. NIT. Curtis declined to talk about the intentions oi the company at present, but from what We could learn from other parties from Riverside, we are satisfied that the sam pies were taken to Hucsod wi.hG view Of experimenting for thr purpose of deter mining what process will be required for 8 successful reduction of the Ray ore.
 The Blk and Scorpion arc looking well and show considerable hne ere. The company has seventeen claims at Riverside. but are confninR their work at present to the Blk, Scorpion and Ray. three of their most promising properties. They employ ab. at fifty men now and will increase their force soon.
 NIessrs. Brady and Walker, of the Vekol, are preparing to ship twenty tons of their high grade ore tO the Bt u- son shelter. The ore will be deliveTei at Casa Grande this week. The ship ment will average about SiOO per ton The Vekol is mine that does credit tO Arizona
 The owners ot the 5naPp mine. Rogers district, have struck three feet Ot good ore in their tunnel. The tunnel ls '>U feet lorg and strikes the vein about l2O feet below the surface croppIngs. The l ore IS principally carbonate and has the appearance of high grade ore.
 Reward mIne-This 5s a copper mine, owned by a Boston company. The mine l is developed by a l4O-foot incline. two ! shafts-One of 70 and the other 6J feet and 100 feet of crOs~cuts, all in good 1 ore, carrying 65 per cent copper and D ounces of silver Over iOO tons of ssl- | eoted high grade orc are now on fine | dump, averaging between SD and Sl.O per ton; also over 1000 tons oi low | grade ore, running from Slj to S4O. Jack Rabit mine.-From thIs property | not less than S20.00O worth of ore has already been shipped. The locatOrs are | still pushing the work of development, l extracting large quantities of horn sll
 yer Two shafts, each over loo feet, have been sunk, and the ore is improv- ing as greater depth Is reached.
 The South Pioneer says s correspond ent of the Belt. IS stoping on the 300 foot level, and has enough ore on the dump to work the ten stamp c couple or 1 months, with more to come The ten stamp mil has 26 bars of bullion iD the express office turned out since the 18th, and that with seven bars from the PIo- neer five stamp mill. will make a hand
 some shipment for their second show ing.
