THE OUIJOrOAS.

done upon the bonanza mountain has been make public. A CITIZEN reporter Was at the QmlOtOas two weeks ago and there were three tunnels being driven into the bonanza mountain, and fourth one commenced. The immediate sink ing of three shafts on the yeIn from the summit was also contemplated. The three tunnels at that time were in D feet and were making progress at the rate of two feet per day. Complaints were made that the pOrphyry, through which the tunnels are passing, Is very hard. The last week private reports, wni ,h are considered reliable, say that in tunnel No. ,, on the west side of the mountain, that unexpectedly q four-foot body of good ore was found The tunnels on the west side calculate to find the bonanza at distance of about j0 feet, and must be somewhere near it by this time. Another report says that the last tunnel. No. f., which goes into the Crocker on the east side, has been in ore ever since started. &e
 The curious looking mountain to tbe south of the QuilotoR peak has appar ently the same porphyritic formation as the Quiiotoa mountain itself. The same
  tain as on the bonanza mountain. As yet prospectors have failed to find any mineral indications whatever upon 1t.
 The Emerald copper mine IS tt the base of the palisades of the Quuotoa mountain, and fully 1000 feet under the summit. IL was located iu 1879, and al- ierwards relocated. The proprietors are A. Weldon, Fred Adams, Aaron Mason -N.# feet wide. Assays average 20 per cent across its face, and 80 in gold and silver. Two weeks ago there was S2O,0O0 in ore oa the dump. It was while doing the assessment work on this mine last spring that Alexander Mckay was con- strained to climb the rocky cliffs of QuI- jotOa, where hitherto only the mountain sheep bad been.
 The Locomotive mine Is at the base of the palisades of the Qui!Otoa mountain, at Its northwest corner, where the great bonanza vein emerges from the noun tain. The mine was located May 3, 1883. by (. II. Horn, Henry Murray and W. C. Atkinson. 4 fourth interest was | recently purchased of c. H. Horn by Aaron Mason for Sl0,Oo0. Experts from San Francisco have been examining the mine with a view to purchase. It ls un- derstood that high prlce Is asked. The ore k chased ss sUlphide of silver, gray carbonate and horn silver. It IS rich Tn he latter. Twenty assays have aver aged Sl,52S silver and S45 gold. One piece went Hs high as SS,0O0. The exist ence of this mine IS a favorite argument of the experts as to the permanence of the great vein in the QugOtoa mountain. l. IS the visible termination of that vein, and pitches into the mountain at an angle of so degrees. The character and value of the ore IS the same here as on the summit, 1000 feet above. This is also true of the south slope of the noun tain Therefore, they argue, if the vein is visible at a depth of SjO feet at one end, aud 1000 feet at the other, and all along the summit, 1t must extend down through the mountain, and the fOrma- ton, they say, favorably indicates such to b. the case. On this theory four tun- nels are being driven in search of the great vein.
 If any one tunnel should find it, there will be enough to pay off the national debt.
 The Palo Verde mine is another old location, having been made In 1879, by A. Weldon, J. A. Roark and Alexander Mckay and has been relocated. It is two and a half miles south of Quijotoa peak. A 12-foOt shaft has developed a fair vcIn of galena. The ore also con taius some silver and copper. A com panv Is being incorporated, and it is proposed to put the stock on the San Francisco board.
 The Quijotoa mine is appropriately located on the very apex of the Quijotoa peak, and Is owned by Charles Ii. Horn and Henry B. Murray. The vem Is the same one on which are located the Crocker. Peer, Peerless and Locomotive. It is visible several hundred feet down the precipitiOus bluff of the south end. 4 tunnel has been driven in F feet. The largest assays have been S70O. Considerable horn silver has been found down the steeps. Dan. Checker, while prospecting on the face of the bluff, where a mountain sheep would get dizzy, found some D eces that went S2,OOu. This claim adioins the Crocker on tbe south. Its north end is about twenty feet south of the Otter Slide.
 The Silver Vault claim is about two miles south of Logan City. George ~eay. \. T. Geary and Ben Norton are be locators. Developments are show ing considerable carbonate of lead.
 The Stephens claim Is about 100 yards north of the Silver Vault and shows the same ore, and Is on another and richer vein. l. k owned by Andrew Stephens, D. Shaw, John Young and James Dumas.
 The Edmgburg mine is owned by John Lawrence, T. l.. Stowe, and J. l.. Scott. It is located three miles north f Logan City. The ore Is carbonate. and assays are said to average Sl15 silver.
 The Brittle Silver Is one of the really good strikes in the Quijotoas. It Is located about four miles north of Logan City. L. Ezeklels, s. fl. Sondheim, K. Baum and John Dawson are proprietOrs The work Is being pushed. Returns are expected Caily from l,1I3 pounds recently shipped to the Pueblo sm lter. One mill assay went S2S7 B silver. Three assays averaged S2.07S silver. Ma tive silver was first discovered in the cropplngs.
 The Silver Glance, an extension of the Brittle Silver. is owned by Dr. $. r. Gladwin and R. r. Elliott. 1t shows
  Assays of the croppIngs go S263.6o si!- yer and S25 gold. Development work Is being done on this claim.
 The Jersey Lily was discovered. 1t IS claimed, by X. II. Hanson the locator by reading an old Spanish manuscript in the mission of St. Gertrude in Lower California last summer while prospecting the placer mines. IL has 8 three feet vein of galena. The location IS three miles north of Logan.
 Gah-kotkh mines No. l and No. ? are east Of the Jersey Lily. A shaft is down ten feet on the ledge at the line of the two claims. ft runs through rich quartzite carving chlorides Of silver. Assays go Sl67 silver, and SIP gold. C. H. Vosburg, E. P. Fish, C. R. Wores and B. 1. Stephens are the lucatOrs.
 No late news have b en heard from the rich strikes at the Covered Wells.
 The Great Republic is 20 miles south of Logan city. Five assays made by W. B. Walker gave the following re- suits: S30lS4; Sl5399; S452.53; S21l.32; and S590SO. Messrs. Lyons and Arm strong are the locetors.
 The Bonanza mine Is five miles from Wells and belongs tO Rowe x Co. It was located year and half ago. The vein is said to be from 20 to 5D feet deep. Average assays are S7O silver. Some assays have gone as high as 5000 or $700. with 3 per cent. copper. The ore Is free milling.
 The Arizona mine Is owned by Peter | Dunphy. IL is located a quarter of a mile from the Bonanza, and shows the | same character Of ore. Three shafts ! have been sunk to a depth of seven feet. l They show an abundance of ore, that | averages $50.
 Messrs. Hubbard, Casanega and Phy | have rented a dry-washvr of Col. J. $. Morgan to work some old Mexican ..f
