the "Harqua Hala mines. before
entering into detailed description Of
thc mining outlook Of this vicinity,
permit me to congratulate you upon
the removal OF the Territorial Capital
o Phoenix, deserved compliment to
that beautiful little city.
The mines Of this district occur in a
quartzite and :iate formation; the
quartzite is q Sihceous sandstone, very
irm, occurring in metamorphc rocks;
in several places it is cslcareous, con
tanning disseminated calcite; where
the rock is exposed to the weather the
calcite is removed, leaving the rock
loose in texture, or cellular. l have
found numerous places in this district
where a t9urmalimic formation exists.
In several places the quai'zite strata
graduate into, ana also alternate with
hydromica or mica states, very rarely
graduating Us is the case in many
other localItios) into gneiss and horn
blendic rocks. The principal mines of
The district yield native gold and sill
yer. We have also argentiferous cop
per ores, chalcocite copper pyrites,
malachite cuprito, gAlenite and cobalt,
occurring principally in clay, slate
aud limestone, and often in syenitr
and granular limestone. The Golden
Mountain mine, owned by Messrs.
Stein, Sullivan and Walton, is tie
mine Of tn. camp. The ores of this
great mine are principally rhodocrositt
or carbonate of man 5Auese, mangan-
blende, very rich in gold, and CARRYING
a small percentage OF silver. Toe
gold is 95S fine, worth $3.50 IN
ounce. The main shaft has now at
tanned depth Of fifty-fve feet and st
that depth still maintains its extraor-
binary richness. Samples taken this
morning across the vein at bottom Of
shaft yielded on the average 1892 in
gold and So silver. 1t is the most
wonderful mine have ever heheld for
the quantity and quality Of its ore
The Golden Eagle mine. one mile north
of the Golden Mountain, has an open
cut of about ten feet, showing a fvr
foot vein of free milling gold ore that
will average $40 per ton. This vein.

promising in the camp. The Grown
