ing the old "63" as famous as Of old
the PRINCE GEORGE.
This fine property has been lying idle
for two years Ii is situated at Stockton
Hall and belonged to Caldwell Wright
and William Engle, who, three or four
years ago agreed to segregate the mine,
Wright taking the northern and Engle
The southern half. Mr.. Engle sold his
half to the late Mr.. Dana and Howell for
some $4,000. These gentlemen went TO
work in earnest on the claim and took
out inside OF year over sl50,0O0, aud out
OF the profits bought the celebrated G. o.
ID. mine. It was the intention of the
owners OF the segregated Prince George
to erect hoisting works and other ma
chinery, but unfortunately at that time
Mr. Dana, who was the principal owner,
fell sick and died. Nothing has been
done since and this splendid property is
closed down.
The north segregated Prince George is
now the property Of Mr.. Wright and T.
j. Christie. These gentlemen have spent
considerable money in developing their
end of the claim aud we are informed that
large and rich bodies OF ore have been
encountered in opening up this portion OF
the mine.
The ore is high grade, running from
sl00 to $500 per ton. The mine is one Of
the largest in the county, in fact the
walls have not yet been exposed, although
erosscuts show ore matter OF over seventy
feet in width.
This mine, in the hands o. genuine
western company would soon attract
universal attention, and we predict that
the day is not far distant when this prop
erty will stand at the head Of the great
mines Of Mohave county.
The c. o. ID. mine has bsen one OF
the great producers of WalaDai district.
1t is located about two miles north OF
Stockton Hill and was sold about six
years ago by j. H. johnson and w. w.
Clack TO NJ. ID Howell and Charles Dana,
OF San Francisco for s25 900. These gentle
men worked the mine for four years
steadily and took from it nearly million
dollars After the death OF Dana, soms
three years ago the mine was turned
over to leasers. About one year ago John
Lynch purchased the mine aud Ia c,m-
pany with Foster Z. Dennis ia now put
ting it in shape for the extraction OF ore
of which there is yet vast amount in
sight IN the different Slopes petwesn the
surface and the four hundred foot level.
A new Dodge pnlverizer and . Watt con-
centrator are now being erected on the
mine for the reduction Of the low grade
ore, which will be in running order by
the 18th OF this month The mine is a
good one and we predict that under its
present management it will be one of the
most profitable mining enterprises in the
Territory.
There are a great many other good
mines on Stockton Hfll and vicinity, and
among them we might mention the
Tigress mine, owned by Robt. Gray.
This mine has produced quite large
amount Of money and is now considered
good property. Mr.. Gray is the owner
of quite group Of good mining claims
that would make fine milling propositions
among which are the Miners Hope and
Blue Bell.
The IXL mine is another good property
upon which work has been suspended
between wind and water, and which pro-
duced some very rich surface ore.
THE FLORES NINE.
This property is situate about one mile
southwest OF Cerbat and belongs to the
Flores Mining Company, Philadelphia
corporation. This clain was formerly
known as the Five Points, and was dis
covered and located by w. G. Parsons OF
San Francisco. In 1887 the property
passed to the Flores Company, who for
two years worked the mine successfully, |
reducing the ore on the ground with |
two Kendall mills.
The Flores mine is gold vein carry |
ing about fifteen ounces in silver and |
twenty-five dollars In gold to the ton,
some Of the ore running as high as 5000 !
