districts to the west, and expects to
make some investments in that vicinity.
HARoUA HALA.
Since the 1st OF the month the new
machinery has been in active operation.
The new double compartment shaft has
been sunk below the old workings and
the work is how being pushed at a
much lower level than before. Thirty
stamps are dropping day and night on
good ore. and within two weeks 10 more
stamps will be in place Full shifts are
employed. Superintendent Allen has
just returned from California, bringing
with him bride, over whom the min
ers are really enthusiastic. -[Gazette.
GOLD ROCK.
It is confidently expected that the ad-
ditional % stamps for the mill will be
ready for business by the 1st. The ore
will then be taken principally from the
! Crown, which is believed will be bet
ter property than the Queen. Over 100
men are at present connected with this
camp.
Colonel Brooks returned yesterday
from the Gold Rock and speaks in the
most enthusiastic terms of the camp.
He says the letter which appeared in
the Times was very mild in statement
and did not do the subject justice. The
Colonel pronounces the district to be
the best gold proposition in the United
States.
CARGO MUCHACHo.
The Paymastsr mill is again running
its full 20 stamps. The ore supply is
from the 800 level and the mine looks
we'll. Thirty men are employed.
PICAoHo.
1t is again announced that the neces-
sary repairs will be made to the pipe
line and pumping plant. The experts
recommend that the pipe be sunk 80 as
to avoid danger of expansion under the
summer heat.
Some quartz men have been looking at
the mill with the idea of using il on
come immense quantities OF low grade
ore near by. A new boiler ia needed,
but otherwise the mill is said to be in
good condition.
The old A. A. claim is now owned bv
Cyrus Wheeler, Frank Guerra, Joe Mem
dible and Ramon Ochoa under the name
OF the Dulcinea. A shaft 5x6 sunk 20
feet shows good milling ore all
the way down. A prospect shaft
was put down on this claim several
years ago 15 feet deep and cross
cut made 25 feet without reaching the
wall. The ore went So and IS. This is
bound TO become fine property as the
owners are all practical men and know
mine. 1t is about five miles to the
river, down grade all the way, making
ore hauling easy by tram.
Some montha ago, Denver parties
made proposition to put mill on the
Jayne patented claims. They wanted to
build the mill on the river and run the
ore down to it by o double track cable
tram, the loaded cars pulling the empty
ones back. DIR. JAYNE insisted that the
mill be built at the mine. The differ
ence WAS irreconcilable and resulted in
nothing.
Several experts have lately bser in
camp and speak extremely we'll of it.
The Moreland properties show a fine
contact, and more depth will give than
great value. The mill will be ready TO
start about the Let.
The boys will all come in tomorrow
from the Blue Bird, and the continued
sinking OF the shaft will be done by
contract. 1t lie now down about 40 feet
with drift 81 feet, and the ore lie show
ing up nicely.
CASTLE DOME,
This old reliable silver-lead district.
together with Silver district, adjoining,
keep up their usual shipments of high
grade free smelling ores. The last
steamer brought down ever 100 tons,
Delgado q Avila still haul their ore to
the railroad. 1t speaks we'll for these
ores that their richness etill makes it
profitable to ship them $50 miles to
nmelter.
A GOLD NINE AT HOME.
At a little hill two mies south OF
town, George Miles has 6xS shaft down
70 feet on claim belonging to Hatch
& Burke. The prospect shows up we'll.
and Dr.. Hendryx, who visited it few
days ago, expressed the opinion that
more work would make good piece of
property. Miles has taken the ground
on a bond. The original location ia
known as the '93." +. S. Ingalls, and
others have another location, ami Thos.
Gates also has an extension.
800 GOLD ORE.
The Gila brought down IA tons of
splendid ore from Gray & Killers gold
mine west of Ehrenburg. 1t will be
used as working test, and ia said to 60
800 to the ton.
