Arizona Properties That Will Enrich
The Gold Supply of the World.
From the Journal-AIiner of the st
| inst we take the following important
| mining items:
1t is expected the pipe line to Mr..
Dan Gillette's Gold Note and Surprise
mines will be completed by the 10th
inst Mr.. Gillette says that the entire
mill including the batteries has been
remodeled. Several new Frue van
ner concentrators have been added.
He has about six thousand tons of ore
already on the dump to start with. \
new hoist is in operation on the main
shaft of the Gold Note, which has Il
capacity for sinking 1000 feet, and Il
new hoist has also been placed on
shaft No. of the same mine. The
machinery will be run by electricity
and the mine will be lighted with it,
the dynamOs being run by water pow
er. The shaft on the Gold Note is
now down to a depth of 300 feet and
about $500 feet of levels have been
run. In the south drift of the second
and third levels they have encountered
the best ore in the mine. Thy have a
solid ore body the full width Of the
face of the levels and how much wild
er they do not know, as they have not
prosecuted to determine it. In the
north drift they have prosecuted the
vein. showing it to be thirty-one feet
in width.
On the Black Canyon road the Nc
Cabe mine has Il 10-Stamp mill, but
owing to the winter weather that has
prevailed only five stamps are run
ming. The main shaft is 535 feet deep.
The immensely of the property is
shown i'll the fact that the lineal eN-
tent of the drifts is 1000 feet. while
the total of the shaft depth is 1000
feet.
At present only about forty men are
employed. E. w. Wells, OF Prescott,
is general manager, w T Hall is
superintendent and assayer. and i !.
Coleman foreman. The reticence in
giving out information in the absence
of Manager Wells, relative to the out
put of the mine. shows the business
acumen of the men i'll charge An
expert spent all of Tuesday i'll the
mine with Foreman Coleman.
1t is safe to say that the McCabe is
a great property. Tons of rich ore are
being taken out of the west eXtentiOn
by hoist for shipment. TO the east.
following the gulch down into Chap
arral lays Woods extention of the Nc
Cabe. that is showing valuable with
development.
The Jim Grow. almost within Il
stones throw of the McCabe. is hoist
ing some very fine ore. 1t is the prop
erty of Stoddard, Foran x Ryder.
The Jessie mine, in Chaparral gulch.
has Il 20-Stamp, but is using only ten
stamps at present. The Jessie prop
erty comprises eighteen claims. ten of
which are workable. Here the main
shaft is GEO feet deep. The total
length of tunels, drifts and shafts is
over one mile The main hoist is Il
half mile away to the south of the
mill The ore is hauled by wagon to
Il dump IL couple {of hundred yards
from the hoist, then pushed TO the
mill through tunnel HOO feet long
The mil was erected in 1892 as Il ,
stamp and has been increased from
time To time until its present capacity
of twenty stamps was reached. Since
1892 the total output of the Jessie
mine has been 100000. The average
value of the ore is 800 a ton.
Mr.. Jones estimates that there is
$4,000 worth of tailings at the mill
at the dump. A cyanide plant of 80
tons capacity is being erecte,- bishop
Brooks. of Salt Lake City, an expert
having charge of the work.
1t is understood the Harper mine in
the Huachucas belonging to the Har
per estate, is about to be bonded and
developed.
