The Arizona sentinel., 1897-05-22

A F-@- ~4A - $% "  name of Jones paid one of Uncle Sam's soldiers, who was doing scout duty, a handsome sum for locating these properties for him, having become interested from samples shown him. This was in 1863 After thirty-four years it is again brought to notice by a wandering F prospector, .and it has the ap- pearance of a veritable bonanza.
 Capt. Thog. Burns, mining man of San Simon, Arizona, spent few day in this section last week. The captain was so favorabIy impressed with the mining outlook on the river that he will return for a more thorough investigation Tn d few weeks.
 MELLON
 H. Winterhalder, who keeps the store at the bridge (Mellon), is working up quite Q trade with the miners down the river.
 Thomas brennan, the gentle manly clerk at the Parker agency, after spending a few weeks in Los Angeles, returned last Saturday to the Needles and on Tuesday loaded about four tons ofsupp!ies in small boats at Mellon and sent them down the river. Mir. Brennan, in company with Col. Davis, the agent, and Hugh Kennedy, sup erintendent of farm work at the agency, owns one of the best mines, the "Col. Dayis," on the river. They all deserve the best of every thing.
 BELOW THE BRIDGE
 Down the river from the bridge, from the lower end of the Mojave canyon to Ehrenberg, the prospec- tor has been busy all winter and many new prospects have been unearthed. Not much boom noise has been made of this section, but some very good developments have been going on. The Chiruhuevis placers, that have been idle for several months on account of the rains, arc again alive with miners who carry dry washers.
 At point some three miles above the old Rincon mine, on the river, the Bailey brothers Of San Diego are quietly working one of the neatest gold properties in the state, and 1t is reported that others in the same vicinity who are doing some quiet work have unearthed rich deposits. Below this point the Old Black Metal is again reopened by Adams t& Curtis, and some very high grade ore is being put on the dump.
 Some of the large deposits Of copper ore in the Copper basin are showing up well under recent development work.
 The Big Four camp has some fine properties. Rumor has it that the Big Four group is about chang ing hands at handsome figure. Mir. John Jennings, who was the pioneer in this camp, is the owner and locator, and if ever a prospector deserved a fortune for grit &Dd grip John Jennings does. We hope the rumor is true, for the purchaser has in this group of mines hand some paying property.
 The Bill Williams Fork country on the Arizona bank is alive with earnest, energetic men, and the rich copper deposits in that section will shortly be heard from.
 It is reported that Dr. Pepper of Los Angeles has purchased the pr. Guise property, located on both sides of the Colorado river just be low Bill Williams Fork, and has already arranged for shipping in a smelter to that point.
 At the Empire fiat camp the property of E. s. BlaisdeIl is being extensively opened, there being at present about thirty men at work
