except in small patches on northerly
slopes that is sll gone. The chip
hunks have not thought it necessary
to go into winter quarters and are run
ming around just as in sum- me. While
cattle are in fair thriving condition,
they have shrunk greatly during the
last two months, due mainly to the oc-
casional cold northerly winds We have
had.
THE QUARTZ MILL
At tn place has had profitable run
recently on seventy tons Of gold ore
from the Ewell Springs lode. The
yield was somewhere about sl5 or sl6
per ton. This ore WAS mined by Fow-
Ter and McGregor and was carefully
assorted. For each ton OF selected ore
about three tons of barren and lower
grade rock (say Sc to SIS in vslue) were
thrown aside. and it was only by con-
stantly making horn-spoon test the
grade desired WAS secured. Every ex-
perienced miner knows that if high
and low grade ores are carelessly
mixed as they are broken down in the
mine it is next 10 impossible to sepa-
rate them afterwards.
The mill has been running during
the last ten DAYS on paving ore from
the Mescal lode and from the old
Rouse claim on the Fort Bowie road,
which seems Ia be q promising small
vein.
