R. Evaro, who has just returned
from the Harqua Hala, reports thu
camp in a fourishing condition anc
the mines the biggest strike ever made
in Arizona. He says that Bob Steir
and partners have taken out over
100000, and are not at all in hurry
to sell. The lucky owners of the bo-
nanza are preparing to develop their
property, and will work the ore in the
Harris mill, which they have lately
purchased.
The Indians having learned the
benefit of getting watermelons and
cantaloupes to market early in the
season, have already planted large
acreage to those fruits in the Colorado
river bottom lands. In previous
years the Indians never planted until
after the overflow of the Colorado,
that is in the months of June and
July.
The Macy and Mack mines contin-
ue to produce their regular quota of
ore, and keep the mill in steady oper-
alton, turning out the yellow metal.
Mr. A. Frank left for the mines
Wednesday, and will spend some time
in the camp awaiting the arrival of a
party OF well-known mining men who
are preparing to visit the property.
The mines owned by Hartman and
Bray, in Knoxville district, are open
ing up big. The pay streak in the
Black Diamond is now ten feet wide
with every indication of improving
with depth. The main shaft is down
over one hundred feet and the ore
averages $50 per ton in gold.
