MINING NOTES.

Silver, .324 and .93- Lead, s3.673.
There came in from the Lone Star,
Mineral Park, about seven tons OF ore, on
Wednesday. This ore is high grade, and
the owners expect "a handsome SUM from it.
The sampling Works have not been
running steadily this week, owing TO a
scarcity Of ore occasioned by last weeks
storms. They report plenty Of ore await
ing hauling, and next week will no doubt
resume their usual run.
Dan Maloney came down Sunday from
the Broncho mine, Wallapai Mountain,
where has been working the past three
months. Dan has a shipment of very
rich ore awaiting transportation, which
is delayed by the late snow. He thinks
he has bonanza in the Broncho.
J. M. Boland returned from prospect
ing trip to San Bernardino county, Cali
fornia. Some very large ledges were dis
covered in the mountains near Fenner,
but as TO their value nothing can be said
as yet. Joe thinks the lodges have not
before been discovered, as no traces Of
the prospector's pick could be found.
supt. Mackenzie is working eighteen
men on the Prince George. At the COM
bination shaft they have ore both
north and south, and have about four
hundred sacks on the dump, which will
be brought in as soon as possible, as the
roads are not in the best condition since
the storm. The main ore body seems TO
be in the Prince George North, while
heretofore the rich ore has come from the
Prince George South. The pluck and en-
ergy displayed by Supt. Mackenzie in
hunting for new ore bodies is gentle
reminder OF the possibilities in store for
several mine managers in the district.
The Tntic gold mine at Chloride has
proven even more promising and perma-
nent than the owners anticipated when
they resumed work some three weeks ago.
From reliable information received from
the mine we learn that they are now
down "a feet, and while they thought
they had all the ledge at IA feet, they
discovered an additional two feet in sink
ing, and which now gives them six feet
Of free milling ore. BY way Of testing
the vein they worked two tons in an
arastra last week from which they got
. little more than one pound Of gold
bullion. There is considerable water
in the mine, but no more than would be
wished for in connection with any kind Of
reduction works. They have whip hoist,
and will soon drift each way from the
shaft, which is being sunk night and day.
This is at present one Of the most promis-
ing prospects for q permanent mine in
the county.
The Monarch is a new company now
being organized here. 1t is to be based
on the old Golden Gate property in Ari-
zons. The Golden Gate expended large
sum of money erecting fine mill, lost its
vein and was finally sold out on the bond,
being bought in by the holders Of the
latter. 1t is now proposed to organize
the Monarch company, with capital
stock of 250,0O0 shares Of $40 each, the
bondholders putting the property in for
so much stock and putting the rest Of the
stock in the treasury to be sold to develop
the property. The new company has not
yet fully decided on it's policy, but the old
superintendent, Mr.. Beattie, will be en-
ployed, and an endeavor will be made to
find the vein from a new point, rathe,
than by following the old workings in
which the vein was lost. The old com
pany sunk several thousand dollars In
endeavoring to regain the vein there, and
its efforts are regarded as having settled
the feasibility Of work there. The new
company will also probably buy the Ida
claim and mill further up the gulch
and which is in ore, from which to rur
the mill. The roads there are very
bad, however, and some difficulty may bt
found in moving the ore from the Ida
| to the mill. Democrat.
