shaft and is a very rich copper sul- phuret ore, fine for smelting. lt goes 27 per cent in copper, about sll per lon in gold and few ounces in silver. This quality of ore ex tends clear across the bottom of the shaft, and just how much further they do not know, as they have never cross cuttsd the ledge to ascertain lts full width. They have three claims located m a group named the Mogul. Hermit aBd Look out. This ore comes from the Her nit, on which most of their pros pecting work has been done.
 During the recent visit of Messrs. PFingle and Walker, of Chicago, and General Manager James Shirley, of the Bundy Gold Mining and Mill ing Company, to the Dexter mine, better known as the Parnell mine, owned by the above company, they started up the mill, and run 1t ss long as the water supply held out, obtaining very satisfactory results. The mill was started June l, the water supply lasting until about the 5th or 9th instant. Arrangements have been made for placing a steam pump and hoist on the mine, and when this IS done they will be able, not only to keep the mine clear of water. but will obtain a sufficient amount from 1t to keep the mill in operation continuously. Only s small fierce of men are working at present on the property, but General Manager Shirley has men at work building a road from the Hillside road 10 the mine, 50 that when the new machinery arrives it can be easily transported 10 the property. The above mine is the one of which ?. A. Craigue, an old time Nevada and Arizona mining man, said: You can quote me as saying that this IS the best looking property, as far as developed, that l have seen ia An- EonA."
 The Phenix Herald speaking Of one of the prominent mining prop critics of Yayapsi county says; The work on the Planet, beginning on the west end, consists of a shaft l45 feet sunk on the ledge. The ledge increased in width from the top and at the bottom is three feet. At the bottom of this l45-foot shaft two drifts were run 30 feet east and west The drifts encountered the ledge four feet wide. The next shaft to the east side is also on the ledge al a depth of 295 feet. The S0 foot crit from the l45-fOot shaft on the west enters this shaft. A steam hoist IS operating in this 295-foot shaft. The main shaft IS sunk on ths dividing line of the two claims and IS down 4SO feet. No better timbeTing and facilities for handling he ores can be found. A break oc- cured in the main shaft at a depth of 2O feet, but at a cross cut of loo feet the ore body was struck. On the Saturn, 300 feet east, a shaft is down l95 feet in the ledge. The ledge at this point does not vary from that of the west end of the Planet. At a depth of i75 feet 8 level of 800 feet was run, connecting with the main shaft. A winze was sunk in the center of this level 70 feet, and in the face of the winze there is a ledge of over five feet The ledge is oXydizsd to a depth of 30 feet. The vein runs northeast and south west aud lies between granite walls. The mines are located above the gulch high enough to erect a mill. The mill will be convenient to the mines. Superintendent Clark thinks he has developed a good supply of water for all purposes. One of Sturtevant's blowers furnishes air in the mine through a l2-inch pipe. Hot ard cold water is In the change room adjoining the englne house al the main hoist. The company's buildings are built on a flat below the mine. The house for the com pany consists of three rooms and an office, with a porch, and we'll fur hished. A small adjunct received Mir. Clark's particular care, and was built as a special favor for the preSi- dent of the company. It is highly polished and vanished inside. It is. not oaly beautiful, but useful.
 The San Francisco Examiner of recent date, gives some alleged in- formation concerning a property in this county, which 1t has been i'm possible for papers in this territory to secure. It may be facts, or it may be fiction. It is given for just what 1t is worth. It says: Prof. G. A. Treadwell, the mining engineer, and one of the stock holders in the celebrated United Verde mine, at Jerome, Arizona, is at the Oceiden- tai. He is an intimate friend of William A. Clark, of Montana, the principal owner of the United Verde copper mines. A syndicate of Paris ians has for some months been try ing to buy the United Verde prop erty from Clark, and in talking about the matter, Prof. TreSdwell took occasion to say: Clark owns about 90 per cent of the United Verde mines, at Jerome, Arizona. Some months ago Paris syndicate offered him SS2,0O0,0O0 for the prop erty. He refused to sell at that figure, and last March quietly made a trip to Paris for the purpose of seeing if he could not float the property at S60,OOO.00O. He was willing to sell all or any part of the property on that basis, but when his terms were refused, he declined to sell any part of his interest. Clark. is going to develop the property after his own notion, and 1 by the last of June he will have doubled the woi king capacity of the 1 mine. Whether the Paris syndicate i will later on become part owner in i the property, l do not pretend to | know, but l would not be surprised | if snr,,a ktpH ,F |, la,l ,,-stb s, ..-..
