NEW MINING ENTERPRISE.
Mr.. G. w. r. Pettibone, of Lincoln
Neb., has bought an undivided half in.
terest in the Gray Copper mine, situated
near the town of Pringle, on the B. &
NJ. r. r., u miles south Of Custer. Mr..
Pettibone will sink a shaft on the mine
to the depth of 100 feet, and cross cut
the vein from wall to wall. The vein is
GO feet in width, with a pay streak OF
about 40 feet. The average of fourteen
assays obtained from the streak amounts
to $l0s per ton. One pan test Of
pound of specimen rock yielded % cents
or about $1,000 per ton in free gold. The
mine however Is not a free milling pro,
position. The indications thus far 60
to show that the process for the treat.
ment of this ore will probably DO cyan.
ide or chlorination. The subject oil
process, however, will be further in.
vestigated and fully ascertained before
the completion of the shaft and cross
cut, at which time it is the purpose Of
the owners to organize a strong com
pany, and erect a suitable plant upon
the ground. The facilities for cheap
mining and milling car not be excelled,
there being plenty Of water and timber
suitable for mining purposes on the
ground, and in the immediate vicinity.
Mr.. Pettibone has taken options on sew
eral other properties in the district
belonging to C. w. Robbins, James
Demereau and A. T. Fsay, all old time
residents of Custer.
GRAPHITE.
Messrs. A. II. Smith, James Clark and
G. w. Waller of Custer, are developing
. very promising graphite mine located
three miles above Mountain City. Tests
on the ore show it to contain about 50
per cent graphite. Alongside of the
vein is a deposit of roofing slate of a
first class quality, being free from iron
and all other deleterous minerals
GOOD PROSPECT.
About four miles southwest Of Noun
tain City. Mr.. G. E. Williamson is OPEN
ing up a very rich free gold prospect
Some of the ore taken from this vein is
exceedingly rich, showing pieces OF
gold as large as wheat grains. There is
said to be excellent indications of a
glowing future for that hitherto ne
elected region Of the Hills.
THE CROWN. .
]. d. McNickel & Co. are developing
on main Castle creek, one half mile
above the mouth Of the north fork.
The vein is opened along the outcrop
for a distance of 1000 feet by q series Of
open cuts and shafts, disclosing an ore
body of thirty feet wide, carrying free
gold, telluridss, arssnopyrites and
auriferous pyrite. A general sample
taken from all the openings gays a
result of 500 per ton. The name of this
location IL the Crown, it is an ideal
location for a gold mine, the north end
of the claim abutting on Castle creek, a
meyer failing stream, carrying never
less than 1000 miners inches OF water.
A mill can be erected ON the ground,
with abundant water power and the
ore can be mined and milled at the
minimum cost.
