EorroR SILyKn BELr From re-

group Of mines, which are being de.
vegoped under tile directions Of Nj. j.

permission, to report tho following
which hope will u appreciated BY
you, and also prove interesting to SrL-
rEN DIR readers,
The above property Is situated aheut
six miles west OF north from the town
Of Globe, and two miles north from
the Miami mlll, one and a half miles
east BY the wagon road Of the Arizo-
ma Mineral Belt Railroad survey, and
adjoius the Blue Bird mine on the
northwest, and IS composed Of three

Little Tom and Sanford, owned man.

from twenty 3 thirty feet wide, which
crosses at right angles the trend Of

degrees north Of east ana south 81
west, while the Sanford, contrary to
the large majority Oh mineral bearing
veins Of This section, runs a 4 is loca-
led parallel to the dyke mentioned
above, crossing at right angles the
Little Tom and Translation claims ali
the southwest end. There il one fact
however, which deem worthy Of spe-
cial notice, as an Indication Of perma-
nency OF the Translation and Little

where those veins interseCt the dyfe
as described, the lodges pass through
the dyke unbroken, which clearly
proves the veins to be well defined
