One of the Productive Properties of GiIa County.

One of the Productive Properties of GiIa County.
 It IS pleasure to record the prosper ity of productive mining property that has not only paid for its own develop ment, but has returned in dividends 8 large sum of money. equal to very snug fortune. Such a property IS the Fame mine, iL the Globe mining dis trict. about six and one-half miles northeast of the town of Globe. It IS the property of c. Hayes Co, Mir. c. Hayes owning two-thirds of the prop erty. The ledge, or rather the two lodges, run from the gulch through the hill. the croppings standing out bold at its apex nine hundred and forty feet from the gulch. The workings consist of several tunnels aggregating about l5O0 feet ID length. They penetrate the ledge at the grass roots and al once en- ter the big body of ore of surprising richness. The mine IS worked with that excellent system and economy that not a pound of ore Is hoisted, it being run out with cars to the ore house, the force of gravity beng sufficient to dispense with other power.
 With the ore now in sight 10 the various drifts and stopes, the the value of the mine is shown to be something astounding, and yet but s slight portion of 1t has been opened.
 Water exists Tn abundance m the gulch at the foot of the hill. and the mill will be erected near 1t, in order that the ore may de>cend by chute from the ore house direct to the works. Wood IS plentiful also in the vicinity and the arrangement for the economical working of the mine c0uli not be better.
 Mir. Hayes came into possession of the property two years ago, and being thor oughiy practical man m milling and mlning, be recognized its value and began the proper developments. He leased the Nugget mill of Mir. E. F. kellner, which had been idle for some time, and started 1t up with his ore, giving his personal supervision to the work. His ore was free milling chlorldes, and 1t worked easily and nicely up to a very high precentage of its assay value. Indeed, the quality of the ore may be better understood by the result Of the last shipment of bullion made from sorty-ton run of ore, which gave l5,- 7S ounces In silver RI San Francisco m average Of 394 OF per ton. or course this ore was selected for 1t WAS neces- sary to pack it with burros Tor half a mile to a point where the wagon road began. So far the mine has yielded sI4O.OOO in hard cash. from which nine dividends have been declared, and many future ones gre in sight.
 Mir. Hayes left this city to-day Tor The east. He will stop few days m Cleve- land and then go to New York to bring his family to Arizona. He also intends 10 bring a mill from the east Tor his property and work it for all there IS m if. The mine is not for sale, or at least it would require handsome figures to purchase 1t. Mir. Hayes realizes that It is 6 very valuable property and prefers to manage it in legitimate Wsy as s permanent business. He IS now m very easy circumstances and rather likes the occupation, particularly when the re- suits are SO very satisfactory. his pru dent and careful management and thorough knowledge of mining have achieved for him @ wonderful success and he is deserving of great credit for his perseverance, and well oiFeeted energy,
