and having these needed conveniences,
the owner contemplates putting up re-

The next point visited was
Gold Hill.
Where Mr.. Edwards group OF gold
mines are located. Gold Hill is about
forty-hve miles from Phoenix and about
twelve miles east OF Cave Greek. The
writer found the owners running very
handsome tunnel seven feet high and
as straight as an arrow. 1t is now about
$50 feet long and will be continued to

wards expects to find very rich ore.
All indications 20 to show that this
group contains high-grade ore and that
before long they will certainly prove
very valuable properties. The
CatharIne Mine
IL located in the same district and is
owned by Marcellus & Co. They are
now engaged in cutting an adit, which
il now about 200 feet long, exposing
about 100 feet Of stopping ground. The
ore is gold-bearing and assays about $l5
to the ton. The probabilities are that
when this mine is fully developed IL
will prove valuable property to the
owners. The
Union Mine,
In Winniired district, some eighteen
miles from Phoenix, and about twenty
seven miles from the Catharine mine, IL
being worked by Mr.. Rankin, who is
one OF the owners. The ore OF this mine
is collaborating and assays from $40 10

worked entirely by a shaft, which il
now about 400 feet deep, with good
steam hosting works. The next and
last mines visited were the properties
owned by the
Aurun Gold Mining Company,
In the same district. This company
controls group OF mines known re-
spectively as the Blue Bell, Little Char
lotte, Red Cloud, Tempe and the
Aurum, and are located about two
miles southeasterly from the Union.
The
Blue Bell and the Aurum
are located on a distinct lead which is
now being worked more extensively
than the others. The ore obtained is
gold bearing and free milling. Three
shafts have been sunk on this ledge
from four hundred TO five hundred feet
apart, with open cuts between them
all showing the same quality OF ore.
The shafts are from forty to sixty feet
deep-all in ore, plainly showing and
indicating and proving that it is true

phyritic talcose slate for its walls. The
vein at the too is about two feet wide
and at the depth OF forty feet it is found
