A MILLION DOLLAR DEAL.
The Santa Maria Sold to New York
Syndicate.

Though the matter has been kept
nearly secret for a week, saws the
Gazette of Phoenix, AriZ., the news
has developed that J. G. Rankin and
Chauncy Clark of Phoenix have dis
posed of their noted mining property
in Santa Maria district, embracing
six claims, and incorporated under the
name of the Santa Maria Gold Mining
company. The purchasers are COM
prised within a syndicate capitalized at
S2,000.000, mainly of New York capital
lists, but the deal was managed by j..
B. Greenhut, one of it's principal mem
bers and the manager of the great
whisky trust. Mr.. Greenhut and Mr..
Clark, incidentally, are in the same
line of business, and both have hereto
fore held residence in the same city,
Peoria, ILL.,
The price paid for the property is
not given, but is supposed to be some
where in sight of the million mark.
The mine has had at least 5000. 900 of
capital spent upon it already, and has
every facility for feeding with economy
a 20-stamp mill that has been running
on the ore with success. The ledge
varies in width from Il to 20 feet, and
the ore. which has thus far been free
milling, averages $40 per ton on the
battery plates. The new firm Will at
once double the size of the reduction
plant, and will as we'll put in a eva
hide plant, for the ores on the lower
levels are showing up in sulphurets,
and the mode of treatment must be
changed. There is ore in sight for the
running of even the new mill for years.
Part of the purchase price is COM
prised in the deciding to Mr.. Clark of
the highly improved and large Green
hut ranch, IA miles northeast of
Phoenix

PROMISING GOLD PROPERTY.
Murphy Buys Mine in Newton
Mining District

A. Murphy, the well-known Mercur
merchant and mining operator, who is
in the city, informs Herald represent
alive that he has completed negotia-
tons for the purchase of a valuable
gold proposition in Newton mining dis
, trict, in Beaver county. not more than
20 miles from Black Rock
The group is composed of two claims,
the Monster and the Goodenough, and
although the purchase price has not
been made public, it is understood that
it was a good round figure.
On the Monster & shaft has been sunk
TO the 50-foot level, and at this depth
cross-cut Of 80 feet was made on the
vein,> and as neither wall has been dis
covered as yet. some idea of the mag
nitude of the proposition can be
formed.
Mr.. Murphy, when he inspected the
property last week, took II samples
from different points along the vein,
and fire test of these showed gold
values of from SO TO Sc, and the rock is
free milling
The deposit is a fissure in birdseye
porphyry. From all appearances it is
permanent one, and there is little
doubt but that with development this
will open out into one of the biggest
milling properties in the state.
1t is the intention of Mr. Murphy to
return to Newton district sometime
next week, when he will begin the thor
ough and intelligent development of
the mine. 1t is the intention to deepen
the shaft at once by 80 feet, when an
other cross-cut will be run to deter
mine the width of the vein, and if it
holds its size and value it can then be
classed as a paying proposition; and
after the ore bodies have been opened
out to a greater extent it is likely that
the advisa bility of the installation of
a mill on the ground will be taken into
consideration.
The claims are favorably located as
to wood and water. and the roads to
the railroad are good, besides which
there is water power within ten miles
from the property which could be util-
lied for the generation of electrical
power.
c. L. Preble. Mr.. Murphy's partner
in his business ventures, is also inter
ested in this Newton district property,
and the boys are confident that they
have picked up a winner.

ETC., in the order named. all of whom
deposited wreaths at the foot Of the
monument. After this ceremony, a
similar one was performed by deputa-
tons from the Austrian hussars and
the Russian infantry. The expresses.
the sovereigns and the grand dukes

peror's sons. trotting along in the rear
of the foot guards.
The crowds in the vicinity of the
monument were so great that several
accidents occurred and a number Of
women and children tainted from the
eHects OF the fearful crushing. but
there were no fatalities.
AFTER the unwilling ceremonies. the
CIVIC and military parades and other
ooservances of the day, the streets re-
manned packed with people awaiting
nightfall that they might witness the
Illumination OF the public and private
buildings

MINING ON THE YUKON.
Thousands of People Going to
Alaska This Year

Thomas O'Brien, who owns stores at
Forty Mile, Circle City and elsewhere.
says the San Francisco Call, and who
is preparing to open another house at
Klondyke in the new and promising
diggings 300 miles from Circle City, ar
rived here yesterday, and is at the
Commercial.
Mr.. OaBrien came 72S miles by dog
team along the Yukon, and reached
the coast after making an average of
3l1h miles a day. He left Forty Mile
on January q. B. F. knight, who
with an Indian, came with Mr.. O'Brien,
left Circle City on January and joined
Mr.. O'Brien at Forty Mile.
They had two dog teams of five dogs
each, the dogs being driven tandem.
and men and animals stood the trip
well. though the thermometer was af-
ten so degrees below zero. To protect
the feet of the dogs they were shod in
boots of convas, tied about with a
string. The crisp snow and thin ice
which at times broke under their
weight could not then cut the feet
Mr.. O'Brien brought out 400 letters,
and for these he was paid 81 each. He
reports everybody well in the two big
camps of the Yukon.
There are about 1000 people winter
ing in Circle City and of these $50 are
working on Mastodon, Eagle and Har-
rlSOn creeks ana DedQWOOQ Sulcn,
said Mr.. O'Brien. They seem to be
doing very well. There are about 200
houses in Circle City, all being of logs
They are all one story high except
seven, which are two stories and are
used mainly as large stores.
Mining promises well in that coun-
try; the new Klondyke diggings look
as well certainly as any. Rather bet
ter, it may be said. These diggings are
at the mouth of river $50 miles long.
The mines at the mouth are good, but
the Indians say the gold is great deal
plentier up at the head. I anticipate
there will be mining all along there and
on various side streams.
