Very gratifying to the other mem
bers Of the Dalton Gold Mining and
Milling company were the reports OF
the condition Of the properties brought
hack from the south by Messrs. E. u.
Rognon and z. E. Crooks, two of the
heaviest individual stockholders OF the
corporation. These gentlemen Went
down to the mines for the purpose Oh
seeing for themselves just what the
company had in the possession OIL us
Marysvale properties and they gave
the latter very thorough inspection.
They must have been nightly Delighted
with the showing made, for immedl-
ately upon their return they began to
reach out for more stock. It did not
take the talent long to get onto the
move. however, and the price OF the
sAcuritv commenced to go up again at
very healthy bounds. larry IN ul ne
coming week the board of directors OF
the company will hold meeting tor
the purpose of hearing an ofhclal state
ment from Mr.. Rognon OF his Yaslt 70
the mines of the company ana WndS
he found therein.
Some two weeks ago the announce
ment was made that strike hao peeA
made on the group almost on the sur
face and the vein stripped Tor con-
siderable distance. 1t was stated at
the time that the showing OF hlgh
grade ore was very good and in order
to determine for themselves just what
this Favorable showing was tine gentle
mon devoted several days to a careful
study of the conditions that exist at
the mines. They were delighted WITH
what they found and both declare that
the new strike is by far the most I'M
poldarlt that has occurred in the south
country for a long time past. A true
assure vein, averaging four and one
half feet in width is what the gentle
men report as having been opened up
right on the surface Of the property.
This vein can be traced for In the
neighborhood of 500 feet right through
the Dalton group and a hole has gone
down on every one of the claims for
the purpose of determining whether or
not the vein held up on all OF the pro
perties which go to make up the Dal-
ION g-roup One Of these shafts went
down fifteen feet and was then dis
continued on account Of water COM
ing in. Ore from this shaft assayed
yesterday gave metallic values of $40.
This ore was taken out by the visiting
gentlemen and the latter say they
sampled the entire vein. The high
grade rock came from the shaft which
was sent down right in the vein and
there are twenty-five inches of the
same class. the vein itself being about
four feet in width on dihe surface. An
average of the entire vein was made
and the returns were $50.
Mr.. Rognon says it is one Of the most
perfect assure veins he has ever seen,
the trend being right across the pro-
perties of the Dalton company. Old
miners declare THAT the mother lode.
or the deposit that has been furnishing
all Of the very rich float for years, has
at last been found. All of the ore
veins or stringerS which have been cut
IN the former workings of the Dalton
have pitched toward the newly dis
covered body. A prospecting tunnel
to cut the vein at a depth of fifteen
feet has been put in and it should be
completed within the next few days
The lower tunnel is in over 500 feet and
1t is the intention of the company to
push it to immediate completion. Tt
will cut the new vein at a depth of 600
feet.
AIT the coming meeting of the board
of directors many matters in connec-
ton with the future working of the |
properties are to be considered and !
among them will probably be the mill /
The company now has plant but it is I
not properly located, unless a itramway |
should be put in from the mines to the
mill
Speaking Of the mining operations in
the Marysvale section, Mr.. Rognon |
stated that there were several proper |
ties being extensively developed and |
the districts are bound to come to the |
front. Many of the mines carry a |
great deal of silver. and some of these /
will not be extensively opened UP un- /
Ill there is a change for the better in |
the price of that metal. At the Sewer |
the working forces have been greatly |
Increased for developmental purposes.
but the mill Is not operating. One Of |
the near neighbors of the Dalton was
bonded the other day to a Colorado
syndicate for $4,000 and the holders of
the bond expect to open up the pro
