piled with sheets native silver. The
best ore is being shipped, and the rest
piled up with view to soon starting up
the mill at Pinal. Just how great the
body of ore is cannot be determined un-
til it is further exploited, but its
discovery at this point proves the cor
rectness of the Judgment of many prac-
teal miners, who always commended that
the work was going away from the main
ore body.
MOHAvE COUNTY MINES.
The following mining items are taken
from the Mohave county Miner;
Work will start up on that bonanza in
Cedar district Diamond Joe) in few
days. A new shaft will be commenced
about 120 feet from the main workings
and sunk to depth of sixty feet. when
a drift will be run from the bottom to
connect with the main shaft. The
owners feel confident of taking out an
immense quantity of the rich quartz for
which this property is noted.
Two barges are being built on the Col
orado river near the Needles, and as
soon as finished will be taken up the
river to the vicinity of Weaver district
where they will be anchored and a wa
ter-wheel attached, which will compose
the power for pulverizing quartz mill.
The wheel will be revolved by the
force of the current, which in that par
ticular part of the river is very swift
This is the first time that an experiment
of this kind has been tried in this coun-
ty and the result will be awaited with
considerable interest by the mining
community residing on the banks of the
river.
The Rainbow mine, worked by Mac
Duffee & Hanna, is still showing large
quantities of gold ore. The mine, which
has been lying idle the past five years,
was at one time great producer, $780,
600 having been taken out and shipped
in years past. There is not mine in
the district which shows more extern
sive and continuous body of mineral
than the Rainbow. There is every rea-
son to believe that with proper develop
ment it will be one of the great paying
mines of Mojave county.
The Flores Consolidated Mining COM
pany is erecting new ten-stamp mill,
which will be ready to start November
18th.

coed 81 per day each man.
NOTES.
OF the Elsinore mines, the Press says.
Work at the mines is progressing most
favorably and the ore taken out il con-
stantly increasing in richness. While
no great excitement is exhibited, the
fact of the worth of this camp remains
undisputed.
Messrs. Hartin and Fisher will imme-
diately begin the erection of fve-stamp
mill at their Last Chance mine, six
miles west of Prescott. The mine has
been prospected sufficiently to Justify
shows large bodies of gold ore. The
ledge is about four feet wide.-[ Prescott
Courier.
Warner Wheatley will take out ten
men and four wagon loads of provisions
to the tin mines discovered by him not
long since, about sixty-fve miles from
this city. The claim is said to be in a
northerly direction. On his return Mr..
Wheatley promises to bring in guam
tity of the ore, which will be sent to San
Francisco.-[San Diego Union.
Mr.. Mauk returned to Phoenix yester-
day from the Continental mountain,
where he has been supervising the as
sessment work on the Chautauqua and
Yellow Jacket mines. These lodges are
of white quartz, carrying free gold and
sulphurets of iron, also carrying gold.
Mr.. Mauk informed the reporter that
good-sized mill, which may shortly be
put up there, could pay weekly divi-
dends almost from the START Phoenix
Republican.
Several indications of iron ore have
been discovered in the hills and noun
tains of the back country, not far from
the city. Many of these samples have
been taken to DIR. Eames for inspection,
and not few of them have been sent
on by the doctor to New York or Pitts
burg to have them assayed. The doctor
says that most OF the samples contain
large percentage of iron ore, but he can
not tell whether they also contain phos
phorous or any other injurious sub
stance until they have been analyzed.-
