ARIZONA MINES
gers District-WOr Being done
at the Reymert.

The CITIZEN reporter called on Judge
J. d. Reymert, the well known locator
and present operator of the Reymert
mine, in Pinal County, one evening this
week, at the San Xavier hotel. Judge
Reymert has been in ssPinal County fol
two weeks, and was en- route to South
ern California, where he has one of the
incest homes to be found in that section
of the Golden State. He is a pleasant
gentleman, and unlike many mining
men encountered in the west, there is
nothing mysterious about his intentions
and he never exhibits any mock modesty
about giving a newspaper man an item,
il he has one.
THE ROGERS DISTRICT
Il have been putting in the most of
my time this trip in the Rogers mining
district" said the.Judge, "where 1 have a
force of men developing valuable group
Of mines, which have owned for sever
al years. These mines are located 8
miles northeast of Reymert, .and ten
miles north of the Silver King. 4 com
pany was recently organized to work
this property, by myself and q few
friends, uEder the name of the Silver
Chief Mining Company. Considerable
work has already been done on several
of the claims, but now the Swork is be-
ing confined to the Snap mine, which is
showing some very fine ore. Mr.. Geo.
Atkinson, an expeienced man, has been
put IN charge as superintendent, and ne
is now working six men. The ore being
taken out will be left on the dump for
the present; it is carbonate. with some
galena, heavily charged with silver.
The company was organized in Septem-
Der, and work began in November, since
when 80 or 200 tons of ore has been
taken out. In the Rogers district there
is an abundance Of wood and there is
not better range in Arizona.
AT THE REYMERT.
Judge Reymert then talked of the opera
tons at the Reymert Camp, and in this
he always delights. He was the original
locator of this valuable property, and
struggled hard and long in their devel-
opment, and the fact that the Reymert
is to-day considered the equal of any
mining property in Arizona, is naturally
a source Of qualification to him, made
doublY gratifying by the further fact
that he still owns the controlling inter
est in them. Fifteen stamps are now
being run day and night at the mill. and
SO agreeable is the ore that each stamp
brushes three tons per day. There has
just been completed an additional roast
er OF ID tons capacity, which, with the
Old rooster, gives roasting capacity of
% tons. New pans and settlers have
been added in proportion, and every
thing is moving along in a systematic
and satisfactory manner. producing bull
lion in sufficient quantities to leave a
profit after all improvements that are be-
ing made from month to month are de-
Quoted. The bullion produced at the
Reymert contains absolutely no ALLOW.
and commands a premium in the mar
ket. 1t averages 900 fine, and the lowest
returns ever received was 997.
The well now being bored by Mr..
Quiggle, of this city is now down 500
feet, and the water raises TO within ten
feet of the surface. Mr.. Quiggle has a
contract for 1000 feet, but 1t is expected
that an inexhaustable supply of water
will be obtained at depth of COO or 700
feet The well is now in hard rock and
only from 30 to 40 feet per week is made,
but the machinery is working perfectly
and no trouble of consequence has been
encountered since Mr.. Qulggle took
charge of the work.
Mr.. Straun the superintendent, is now
running 4O0-foot tunnel into the south
side OF the hill in an easterly direction
which will cross the black Manganese
vein, connecting with the Europe shaft
or the quartz vein, from which shaft, to
a depth Of 40 feet S25,000 worth .of sill
yer ore was taken and worked in the
Specie Paying mill, before the incorpor-
alton CT the present company. The con
Meeting of this tunnel and shaft will |
give abundance of air. and if present an
are realized it is the inten-
hon to bring the ore out through the
tunnel and around the hill by rail to the |
mil, thereby saving considerable ex-
Dense now incurred in hauling from the |

There are now 60 men at work on the |

through the mill is taken from the |
America and thet Africa mines.
