values OF $3.50 in gold. Thissis most
excellent showing, especially as the ore
can be mined and milled at less than
81 a ton.
Tom Ferguson, the efficient superin-
tendent of the Cnrystal mine, in Cot
tonwood canyon, near Marysvale, ar
rived in the city yesterday and he is
very much pleased with the showing
made in this property, especially as a
few days ago the new tunnel cut into
the ore body. The ledge is a true ifs
sure in quartzite, and the tunnel has
disclosed Il feet of good ore. Mr.. Fer
suson expects to ret;4sa to the Vale
today or tomorrow.

A welI-posted mining man, who is
just in from Silver city, expresses him
self as being most favorably impressed
with the showing in the Swansea
mine, in which he says there is half
million in ore blocked and in sight.
He is of the opinion that Swansea
stock is worth SIS a share, if it is worth
a cent. The South Swansea, the same
gentleman states, is a second Swansea,
all that is needed to make it equal
to the latter being more work. as the
ore is there.
L. w. Clark, the veteran miner of
Ophir fame, who came in from Lion
hill Tuesday night, informs The Her
aid that he is now pushing work in the
development of the Surprise, the Clark
vicinity of the Chloride Point and
Gladstone mines, on Lion hill, ana
that the showing made in them is very
encouraging. On the Clark he has
opened up large ore bodies that carry
values of from IA to 20 per cent lead,
1850 TO 1920 ounces in silver and SO
cents to 1924 in gold to the ton, while
the Surprise shows so ounces in silver
and $270 in gold to the ton. Mr.. Clark
is right at home on Lion hill, and he
expects to push work on his proper
ties there this winter. He reports that
all is activity now at the Northern
Light mine, and that work is being
pushed in the erection of the mill,
which will be one of the finest plants
ever put up in the district.
The interest in the discovery of gold
and silver placer deposits in Mill Creek
canyon will soon receive additional
stimulus as DR.. Witcher and his asso-
ciates are now making arrangements
to install Huntington mill on the
ground, the intention being to make a
fair test with this machine, and if it
is success, more machines will be put
in and the working of the placers will
be continued all winter. In the locality
mentioned the Witeher crowd own
about 200 acres of placer ground that
to a depth of 20 feet will carry values
of IS to SIS cents in gold to the yard,
and about the same amount in silver.
In putting in the Huntington it is the
intention to concentrate the gravel and
pay dirt before running it through the
machine. AS there is plenty of water
in the canyon the plant will be run by
water power. A number of leading min
ing men have become interested in this
enterprise, the success of which will
be watched with d great deal of inter
est in mining circles
