Notes.

The gold mine on the headwaters of
Cave creek, discovered year ago by
Charley Dupuy and Louis Simon, and
now being worked by them, is as yet
unknown to fame, says the Phoenix Re-
publican. From the fact that the own
ers have no extended acquaintance ex-
cept among miners and prospectors Of
that vicinity, no mention of their find
was made in the newspapers, and the
attention of mining men had never been
called to it.
The writer visited the mine last
August, and formed a most ia
vorable opinion of it from an
informal view, and he then
formed an idea that the ore there ex-
posed sassayed as we'll as it looked.
This mine was destined to be one of the
leading bullion producers of Maricopa
county, if not in Arizona.
Charley Dupuy, one of the owners,
was in town yesterday and showed the
writer a specimen of the ore, also an
assay certificate from Price, of San Fran
cisco, showing that the sample he had
assayed held $3.50 cents in gold to the
ton: This sample was not picked
specimen, but portion of the pulp
from the pulverization of one hundred
pounds of ore taken at haphazard from
the dump.
The deposit is an immense one and its
walls have not yet been found. Longi-
tudinally it has been traced over mile,
and laterally, the allowable width of a
mining claim-600 feet-does not include
all the ore.
Taking into consideration the fact the
claim is close to large stream of per-
ennial water, where the bottom lands
are covered with an immense growth of
heavy timber, it seems evident that the
property will be worked On large scale
and prove fortune to its owners.
Charley Dupuy and Louis Simon are
poor men, and at present do their devel-
opment work interruptedly, according
to their means. Here is a splendid
chance for some wealthy company to
put large milling plant here on the
ground and produce enough bullion to
| depreciate the price of gold, If that were
possible.
FROM HARQUA HALA.
Fred Wentworth came in from the
Harqua Hala mines last evening, says
the Phoenix CA. IT, Gazette, and says
things are moving along smoothly in
that camp. Fifty men are working in
the Gold Eagle and Bonanza mines and
the mill is running night and day on
rich ore. Mrs. Kayler has opened a
restaurant in Harrisburg, where the
hungry may appease their appetite.
Delhi has struck it richer than ever in
his mine near the Bonanza, and is
taking out large amount of ore. Pros
pectors are arriving daily, and the camp
presents quite lively appearance once
more. Many are doing their annual
assessment work. Feed in the noun
tains is very good, which makes it posi-
Bile for delivers for the precious" to
keep their pack animals in the noun
tains with them.
PRIZES FOR MINERALS.
Prizes for the county mineral exhibit
at the county fair were awarded Thurs
day, says the San Diego Union, Messrs
Hendsch & Wedekind taking first prize
for minerals of Southern California
the exhibit of Mr.. Jasper, of Julian,
being awarded first prize for San Diego
county. The exhibit of Messrs. Hendsch
& Wedekind consisted of large display
of minerals from over the southwest
but mostly from San Diego county. The
important articles were gold quartz
from Julian, representing the Stone
wall, Cincinnati Belle, Helvetia
North Hubbard and Gardner mines
iron and manganese ore from
Winchester; gold rock from two
mines at Mesa Grande; native copper
and copper carbonate from the Chuck
analla mountains, Pacific district; lead
and silver ores and gold rock from the
same district, besides numerous speci-
mems of iron, zinc and lead sulphide
two lots of gold rock from the Cargo
Minchocho district; asbestos from Men
flee; gold rock from Twenty-Five Palms
districts ores from Pine valley garnets
from the Deserts selenite, (gypsum)
from Julian; cement rock and Portland
cement from Jamul.
The Julian exhibit is certainly mag
nifcent representation of the golden
wealth of those mountains, and as pre-
viously mentioned in The Union. truth
fully shows the character of quartz from
that district, each lot being from mine
now in actual operation.
THE JULIAN MINES.
The Julian Sentinel says the Cincin-
natl Belle has some wonderfully rich
rock in both the upper and lower levels,
the 150-foot level being particularly rich.
The highest grade rock is found in the
bottom of the mine.
w. d. Chambers, of the Ruby Mining
company, is now in over $50 feet on the
lower drift, and the quartz continues to
increase in value as the heading ad-
vances. Sixty feet on that level is now
ready for stopping and the work of
breaking down the rich quartz will be
commenced as soon as cars and other
supplies, which are needed, can be de-
iivered at the mine.
A recent run on Warlock quartz at the
Gold King mill returned an average of
$35 ton.
