J.W. Cover and j. D. Helm returned
from Harqua Hala yesterday, says the
Prescott "a. T.) Courier, and from them
the Courier learns that during their
visit to the Bonanza mine a gold bar
was cast, weighing 3221a pounds, avoir-
dupois, valued at $S2. 900, the product of
a forty-two days. run of the Bonanza
mill. The shipment preceding this one
was 172-pound bar. The former is
certainly the largest bar ever cast on the
Pacific coast, or probably in the United
States, the next largest known being
one of $4,000, in California. These
heavy bars are made to avoid risk of
robbery by highwaymen. During seven
and one-half months the mill has pro-
duced 1920, 900. This mine bids fair to
equal the famous Vulture mine, which
it closely resembles in character of ore
and in the nature of the deposit. The
owners are Hubbard & Bowers. The
entire management is under the direct
supervision of Mr.. Hubbard, who, with
his thorough knowledge of mining and
milling, and rare business ability, has
reduced the cost OF production to a min
imum. There are 1000 tons of ore
broken in the mine, and enough blocked
out and in sight, to run the mill six
months. Arizona now has the largest
and best paying gold mine on the Pacific
coast.
THE LISALDA NINE.
After delays of twelvemonth or
more, active operations are about to
ha
which is located fourteen and half
Diego Sun. Recently large shipment
il was treated, giving return of $400 to
some of the capitalists there and they,
in conjunction with some Chicago men,
are investigating the deposits with a
now practically in the hands OF towns
men, Messrs. Jewell and Fish. and they
intend to at once commence the work of
development. Part of the plan so far
agreed upon is the erection of smelters
for the reduction of the ore, and it is
probable these will be erected on this
side of the line. The ledge 80 far
opened shows width of six feet, and a
quantity of the specimens taken from
the deposit will be placed on exhibition
in q few days in Dodge & 'Burbeck's
store.
LOWER CALIFORNIA MINING.
Superintendent E. A. Brennan, of the
Tomasso Hill Mining company OF Lower
California, arrived from San Francisco
last evening and will leave for the lower
country tonight, says the San Diego
Sun. This is the company that was re-
Gently organized in San Francisco with
q paid-up capital stock of 81, 200, 900 and
has for its president G. M. Haley. Our
townsman, A. H. Butler. who formerly
owned the mine, is one of the directors
in the new company, and it was upon
the reports of the present superintendent
that capital became interested. Mr..
Brennan is confident that the mines
will give returns that have never yet
been equalled in this section, and the
mine will be operated with the best
plant that can be obtained. The first
work to be done is the opening up of
the mine for development, and mean
while the mill and other necessary
will be put in position for
the reduction OF the ore.
A VERY RICH MINE.
The Frazier mine, on the extreme
edge OF this and Los Angeles county,
away up about Lancaster, is again out
of litigation and will soon be started up,
says the Ventura Free Press. George
Gleason cleaned up some $500 in a
weeks time by a rocker, and says that
they have rock which will 60 $3.50 ton.
They have ten stamps in the mill and
the property is estimated at $1,000,000.
UP NEEDLES WAY.
That lively paper, The Needles Eye,
the following mining notes:
A good force of men are engaged in
erecting the Offices and buildings of the
new mill, and the work is being pushed
assayist who has charge of affairs at the
mill during the absence of Mr.. Blake,
says he will plant shade trees and
otherwise beautify the grounds of the
mill.
From private letter we learn that
the Pittsburg mine has reached depth
of SO feet, and the ore body still con-
tinues strong, with marked improve
ment in quality. Drifting will soon be
commenced along the vein from the bot
tom of the shaft, and Messrs. Hyde &
HUT, the owners, expect within thirty
days to have the mine in shape to pro-
duce from five to ten tons OF first-class
ore per day.
Messrs. Hyde & Hutt of the Pittsburg
have now at the river awaiting transpor-
tation fifty tons of ore. The steamer
Gila will bring it up.
The Brown gold strike, two miles
northwest of the Pittsburg mine, shows
a body of quartz about three feet in
width. This is recent discovery and
proves to be very rich. The ore shows
free gold throughout the entire body,
and assays run up to 100 ounces per ton
of che precious metal.
Developments are being pushed on
the property of Messrs. West, Fisher &
Go. with most excellent results. George
Baker made cross-cut thereon recent
ly. in which some very rich ore was dis
covered.
In view of the facilities for handling
all grades and quantities of ore, which
will soon be afforded us here, manv old
mining claims in the vicinity of Needles
aye already being looked up and the
matter of reopening them being dis
cussed. The field is good one and
much lucrative good will result there
from.
THE ROSE MINE.
