The Clifton clarion., 1888-12-19

tant, Messrs. Grant, Mills, Miller & Co. are working away enthusi- astically, taking out rich ore and developing their property as fast as hard work will accomplish re- suits.
 Jeff Wilmington and Nick Cole returned from Fl Paso Monday night, where they had accompa- nied shipments of ore from Silver Basin. Nick Cole was in charge of four tons from the Twig mine, owned by Grant, Mills x Co.,, on which he had a lease-and a pay ing one, inasmuch as the ore run about S3l0 to the ton. Whiting ton supervised the sampling of fifteen tons of rock from the Com stock mine owned by himself and Frank Baxter, and came home with nice roll of greenbacks as a reward for their labor.
 A sample of one ton of ore shipped from Granville district by Charley Hanson gave returns of something over 800.
 Messrs. Haughey, Davis, Hig- gins & Sullivan of Morenci have claim about 1900 feet south of Am bler's slaughter pen, near the wa gon road between Clifton and Morenci, which they claim offers every evidence proving bonan- "a for them. The vein is said to be about three feet in width and assays from it shows that 1t runs from $65 to $409 per ton.
 Lew Friend and other directors of the company recently organized at Clinton, Mo-, are expected daily and as soon as they arrive a large force of men will be put at work immediately to further develop the property and take out ore pre- paratory to the erection of a mill, mention of which is made in an other paragraph.
 Jenkins & Paxton shipped this morning from the Pittsburgh claim, owned by Grant, Baxter Wilmington & Adams, 324 sacks of ore consigned to sampling works in Colorado. It is claimed the rock will run $1OO and upward.
 In copper properties also an ac- tive interest is beng taken in the district. We are informed that the well-known Carrasco group of mines near Morenci have been sold for $10,0O0 cash. and that payment will be made within the next ten days. The purchasers are New Tore parties, who cer- tainly have got hold of an excel lent property, and one which for some tune past has been a steady producer of an excellent quality of ore. It is further said that ne- gotiations are pending for the pur- chase of the Higby group of mines, also in the vicinity of Mo renci. It is claimed they are now in condition to produce a large and unknown quantity of high grade ore of a most desirable quality carbonates.
 Boston and New York parties are here and are making an inves- tigation, it is said, with view to closing the sale of the famous Mexican group of mines owned by David Abraham, Leonce Fraissi- n1t, Louis Smadback and s. Freudenthal.
 A fabulously rich gold strike is reported from the Harqua Hala mountains, sixty miles from Sen tinel station on the Southern Pa cific. \ recent arrival from the district told a Phenix reporter that three men took out in gold mug gets alone, using picks, S36,0O0 in seven days work. The lodges are capped with burned lime rock, but have slate and quartzite walls, which guarantees permanency. One ledge is fourteen feet in width, and the ore, which is of grey color, samples over $100 per ton for the entire width, and for It's location length of 1900 feet. The solid ore shows very little gold to the eye, but the decom- posed iron rock is principally mrde up of the yellow metal, and one single chunk was taken out that ie estimated to be worth at least S5,C00. It is further claimed that there are in this district 2OOO tons of float rock that will average $100 to the ton.
