 CHAPARRAL, Nov. 23. - Especial
 correspondence. In speaking of
 Chaparral camp one immediately
 thinks of the Little Jessie and Me
 Cabe mines. while in reality these
 are only two of the good mines in that district. The Little Jessie
 needs little mention, it being noted
 as one of Arizona's bonanza pro- ducers. Its shaft is down 6l0' feet,
 with the ore getting better every
 foot sunk. Levels are run at l45,
 250, $50. 450 and $50 feet. Ore on
 the $50 foot level goes $40 per ton.
 The ore taken from the mine, from
 wall to wall, plates Sl5, and the con-
 centrations run into the thousands.
 Hon. John s. Jones, the owner of
 the Jessie, has just completed run
 ming a tunnel through a mountain
 1340 feet in length, through which
 he will deliver ore to the mill.
 Owing to lack of water the mill for the past month has only run half time, but the output of bullion has been larger than any previous month. Other mines in the district owned by Mir. Jones are the Little Grace, which plates so per ton; the Ella, which plates Sl5 to $2S, with concentrations going fifteen | ounces in gold; the Blaine, plating l S9, concentrations going four and | one-half ounces in gold, five tons to one; the Union, from which $15,000 | has already been taken, plates S32 | per ton; the Independence No. 2 plates SIP, concentrations going S250; the Little Jack plates $35 to SS5: the PaYmaster plates SIS; the Golden Star ore plates $33 and con three ounces; the Home stake is an immense and rich lead, the ledge varying from two to twelve feet, and the ore working S2S in free gold. From the hill through which this lead runs, hundreds of thou sands of dollars have been taken out in placer gold in years gone. The Steadman plates from twenty three to thirty-three dollars per ton. The Great Western has a twenty foot ledge, from which five hundred dollar rock is being taken. The claim has over a thousand feet of work done. The Me Cabe, owned by Judge E. W. Wells, Hugh McCrum and W. c. Parsons, is another of the great producers of district. It is idle at present, on account of bond given. according to hearsay.

Wormser, of Phenix, has shaft down 1S0 feet. The lead IS five feet from wall to wall. The ore is iron John Kinney is the for .unate owner of the Leland.
