 ElIzs Am claims. It is situst abou two miles soutnerly from Gro Blanc | post office, and about half a mile iron AusterlItz mill. These claims cross eaci other at an obique angle, the Eliza Am vein having a course easterly and west | erly, with & southerly dip, and tn, China vein running northerly and south erly, with an easterly dip. Very little work has been done, surface quarry work only. The formation IS wide, and crops out boldly. Several tons of seI. ected ore shipped from these claims. some years ago, are generally reported to have assayed sS0 to 80 per ton in gold, and the Mexicans who have at in- tervsls collected ores from them and worked it Tn arrastras agree that it gave them from S20 to $50 per ton.
 Authentic assay reports from this group, gave in gold from S102 to BIO; and the hardest quartz gave S3 per ton.
 ADDITION AND GROSS LODGE GROUP.
 This group is situated about one and one half miles southerly from Gro Blan- co post office, and adjoins ths Austerlitz group on the south side of the latter. The Austerlitz is direct extension of the CoDglomerate vein of the Austerlitz group, from which several hundred tons Of ore have already been taken.
 The work on the Addition consists of an open cut, which shows from five to eight feet of vein matter, from which a sample lot of two tons sampled SIP gold per ton. The vein is traceable for sev> eral hundred feet, and probably joins the Cross Lode vein.
 The Cross Lode laps on the eastern end of the Addition, and thence extends southerly. The developments consist of few shallow pits. One sample of ore gave s16 in gold per ton. Ores from several croppipgs assayed at the Aus terlitz mill, gave uniform results of S10 to Sl5 in gold per ton.
 THE GRUB STAKE MINE.
 The Grub Stake mine stands all alone in the peculiarity of It's working.
 It is the property of Colonel J. c. an old timer, and not too flush with this worlds goods. The Grub Stake IS fair sized vein of porphyritic matter, including streaks four to 32 inches wide along each wall rich as any of it, but so soft tha: it can be shoveled put. This IS removed and packed to wa- ter near by, where it is put in a rocker, s canvass, slat and frame affair, and worked for the gold therein. It beats 'he average placering. The Colonel makes good living by this method of  His mine is m the porphyritic district, being mile south from the old Warsaw hill. If MT. Holden could get a small mill on his property, he would be In di- ect road to wealth.
 THE DAN MINING CLAIM. The Dan is situated at near Bleak Peak, about one and one half miles outherly from Gro Blanco. The vein uns easterly and westerly, with a dip nearly perpendicular. It is from one to hree ard a half feet in width. carrying rec gold and sulphurets. From one mall place in the vein about so in gold nuggets was taken. The work done to | late is about eighteen feet in depth on he vein, and the ore runs from s8 to S30 old.
 CHoCTAw MINE. If silver was quoted at anything like ts former value, the Choctaw would ven now be a valuable property, as t IS located In the edge of Gro Blanco | illage only about half mile from the | and readily accessible. The | orner of the vein is northeasterly with | southerly dip. The ore is lead. carry | ng silver, and little gold. The vein | 3 double, each band about two feet | hick, the two bands about eight feet | part. The shaft is over fifty feet deep, howing good ore all the way, and with | ome increase in grade near the bottom. The vein, as above stated, runs we'll a lead, 15 to 50 per cent, carrying silver, rom a minimum of 10 to F ounces per on of rock, up to an observed maximum f several hundred ounces, but with verage of assay of I5 to 25 ounces for general samples. Even at present ,rices of lead and silver, the outlook at he Choctaw is favorable for develop nent as proposition for ore coneen- ions.
 REFUGIo CLAIM. This claim is situated about two-and- lalf miles westerly from Gro Blanco Tillage, about 200 yards from the sum- nit of Frsguits mountain, the highest ,f the range. The vein runs north of ,ast, and dips nearly perpendicular, slightly to the south. The shaft is sbout thirty feet deep. The vein ranges rom to 16 inches in thickensss, and is .ich in gold. A sample of second class pre- assayed S25 per ton.The first class is visible in grade, some running very high. Free gold specimens" are frequently ,ound. The claim is now being worked, under lease, by Mitchell & Go.
 THE MONARCH MINE.
 This property has been developed to the extent of 1I0-foot tunnel. It is owned by Messrs. Wetherill & Shelten- brand. The lead IS four locations long. At the Monarch it Is ten feet wide, ID a well-defined quartZs ledge, free milling, carrying gold. Four samples worked recently at the School of mines, Tucson, SIP to S45 ton. The proper ty is situated about a mile southerly from the Old Warsaw mill, and adioins the Soral Top and Tres Amigos group on the south. The main tunnel has not yet cut the vein, but IS probably, not over a dozen feet or SO from 1t.
 GRAND DUKE AND GRAND DUCHESS
 GROUP.
 Three claims are located about three miles southerly from Gro Blanco post office, and little over mile westerly from the Austerlitz mill. The Grand Duke is we'll defined, large and con- tinuous, lode, strongly minerslized, running northerly and southerly, in con- formlty with the usual trend of the mineral formations of this district.
 The ore of the grand Duke is sulphur cts, of which the samples, SO far, with out concentration, give from s5 to SIS per ton, in gold. The general topography of the group is favorable for cheap mining.
 The grand Duchess claim adioins and overlaps the southerly end of the Grand Duke. While not as heavily mineralized as the Grand Duke vein, the outcrops are strong, and we'll located for extended
