The Old Abe mill has been running
on the North Homestake ore the past
| few days.-White Oaks Eagle.
The cyanide plant of the Congress
Gold company has been completed and
is now running day and night on tall
| Jugs.
The Eugenia (Ariz mine has been
imbered up in fine shape with square
sets, and preparations are being made
to mill the ore on the dump. 1t carries
| from S12 to S14 in gold. There IS a
solid ledge of from three to four feet in
the face of the tunnel.
| The Tres Amigos" has been bonded
to New York parties for about $50, COO
for ninety days. They have put force
of men on it for rapid development.
They are running ore through the mill
at a good rate. It is one of the best
paying mines in that region.
A large force of men engaged in ex-
cavating site for big 100 ton cyan

jacent to the Minas Prietas mill and

the pulp will be run from the battery
| to the rooster and thence into the cyan
| ide watts for treatment by that process.
In the San Carlos reservation, since
| the segregation of part of the land, con.
| siderable prospecting has been done
and several mining camps have been
started. The ore is mostly copper car
rying gold. In one district where
| large bodies of galena ore have been
discovered there are evidences OF work
having been done centuries ago.
The jefe politico of Sierra Mojada,
Mexico, has Just rendered a report to
Gov. Cardeuas, showing that the total
production Of silver ore in that mining
camp during the past two years was
S12. 900, 900. This was the output of
| wenty -four mines. The new railroads
will soon be built in Sierra Mojada and
number of new mines opened up.
There is unusual activity in both gold
and copper throughout southern Ari-
IONA. There is more capital seeking
investment in this region than at any
time during the last twelve years, and
there is more intelligent mining de-
velopment in progress than for many
years. Everything points to an era of
encouraging mining prosperity in
southern Arizona.-Star.
The Jessie, Arizona. mill is running
ten stamps and four fine vanners night
and day, Superintendent DOran is
having the other ten stamps fixed up
and will have them ready sooD. The
greateat output of value from this mill
Is free gold, although it il a steady
shipper of rich concentrates. The Jessie
looks fine and new ore bodies are being
opened up daily.
The Arizona Republican says: It is
reported that Joe Dobson and partner
have made rich strike, east a short
distance from the Rover. Those who
have been to see the new find say it is
one of the biggest mines at the grass
roots ever discovered in Arizona.
samples show heavy, coarse chunks of
gold all through the rock indicating
that it will go high in the thousands.
The cross cut from the 400 foot level
in the Grand Central mine. Mtnas
Prietas, as reached from the Amarillas
shaft, has reached the point where it
will be fntersected by the new four
compartment shaft, at a depth of $40
feet from the surface, ard a station has
been cut from which an upraise has
been started to meet the shaft coming
down, which has now reached depth
of 80 feet.
Prescott Courier: A large sample
Of ore from Eldorado mine, Thumb
Butte district, was yesterday brought
into Prescott Mining Exchange, The
Eldorado is the property of Jos. Dough-
erty and VIM. Deering: is developed
by ninety foot tunnel and a fifty foot
shaft The ledge is eighteen inches
wide; ore carries from twenty-five to
thirty-seven per cent lead, 125 ounces
silver and IS to S12 gold per ton.
Visitors from Arizona may well
which is fortunate in both climate and
mineral resources. 1t has great
wealth in silver, gold and copper. Its
copper deposits are especially valuable
and extensive. The rise in the price
of that metal of late has made copper
mining profitable, and large fortunes
will probably be made from some of
the Arizona eposits.-Denver Re
publican.
We are credibly informed that
Messrs. John w. Harrison of St. Louis,
Mo-, and b II. Dye of this place, own
ers of the Lady GOdiva, Rita, Solitaire
and other mining properties here, have
concluded to consolidate their Interests
in one incorporated company, bring in
new capital, new men, and to begin
operating the same at as early a date
as practicable. The above named pro-
perties are all developed to the point
of producing WI Oaks Eagle.
A number of prominent resident
Americans have discovered rich de-

near the line of the Mexican Contra
railway and the samples brought to
this city are adjudee1 equal to any in
the world by experts. The gentlemen
interested in the property, which covers
an area of thirty square miles, are ne
gotia'ing for working it on an extern
sive scale.
THE progress of the use of electric
ity for mining purposes" says Irving
Hale, manager of the General Electric
company, 'is lnot uonly constant, but
rapid. The successful development of
the mul'iphase SYSTEM during the past
four years has solved the problem |
which for so long engaged the atten- |
tiOn of electricians, the application of |
electricity to the generation of high |
power, and has secured the advantages |
of both direct and alternating currents, |
neither of which was entirely salts |
