The Democrat, owned by Clark, Crow

What is known as the oldest mine In
the district is owned by John Seaman,
and is called Smelter mine. A 70 foot
tunnel shows a streak averaging 4 inches
wide, and assaying $500 per pound,
main ledge parallel, 3 feet solid iron
averaging $50 OF. silver. This mine
shows signs of having been worked by
Mexicans. There is the finest spring
near by to be found In the mountains.
Table Mountain copper mine, owned

way, has two tunnels, each 80 feet, two
cutseach 40 feet, and 90 foot shaft all In
ore--black and red oxide and native
copper, averaging 10 per cent. 1t is es-
timated there is 900 tons OF ore on the
dump. The formation is lime and
quartzite. A Z foot streak of gold ore
was sampled in Tucson some time ago
end reported at $40. It is said work at
this mine will be resumed next fall.
The Chief, Jack Bolein, proprietor,
is under lease to Dryden & Smith, who
are taking out ore assaying from $500 to
$1,000. They will make shipment this
week.
Theodore Ganson is working on his
Bonita, which has a 20 and 80 foot
shaft. He is taking out ore which ave-
RACES 500,
c. r. Johns, owner of the Elevator, is
confident this district will become
famous in time as the Anaconda, and
who knows but what he is right? The
Elevator has 80 #. tunnel and so #.
open cut, 20 feet deep. He has shipped
considerable ore. Two Of the three
veins are one foot thick, going so to $50
OF. silver, SO gold and 40 per cent lead.
His mine Hercules promises to prove a
valuable one.
The Stem Winder silver mine, owned by
Cattle King Smith & Atchly, has a AZ
foot shaft, showing body of ore feet
WIDE, and averaging $50 to $3.50 in silver,
S18 gold, and 10 per cent lead. They

Dodson and Groves, the former a
general merchant in Mammoth, own
the Garfield and Star of the West
claims. The former assays in silver $50,
gold $3.50, and 80 per cent copper. The
Star Of the West is a large ledge Of low
grade ore.
In the same district, few miles south
east, is the Badger group of lead and
silver mines, owned by Clark & Co.
They were once bonded for good sum,
but capital to operate seemed to be
lacking, and at present they are idle
though the property would certainly
prove a profitable investment. This
group consists Of five claims, called the
Badger, Mark Twain, Carbonate, Silver
Reef, and Red Oxide. On the two for
mer only has there been work enough
done to show the vein to advantage, but
upon the Carbonate q 90 foot shaft
by, 90 foot drift exposes an
8 foot ledge, which careful assays esti-
mate SO. SO. AS the ledge enters the
line of the Silver Reef it gradually
widens till about the centre of the claim
where it shows surface groupings of
300 feet, here We enter 70 #. shaft, all
in ore, showing no walls.
The Badger group Of mines have
good facilities for working the ores, hav-
ing plenty Of wood, water and fine mi IL
sites.
There are a number of featuresTper-
tanning to the Bunker Hill nina that
might be interesting to refer to, such,
Tor instance, as the tragic incidents that
here during the last Apache
war, this being one Of the haunts of
the savage, and a number of miners lost
their lives at their hands among these
hills. Kid on whose head there is
large government reward is still ha
lieved to be hiding in these Businesses,
and some trace of him was had near by |
recently.
There are some interesting caves in |
The district, which must pass over, and |
close my letter by assuring the expert |
lunter that he need not return empty |
handed from cunning expedition in |
the Galura mountains, there being |
plenty of deer, bear, quail, etc.
