Notes.

Ii is rumored that parties have dis
covered three rich mines in the lower
portion of this county.-Marfa New
Era.
A party OF mining men are expected
here in day or two to go down and ex-
anime the quicksilver property in this
county!-Alpine Avalanche.
1t Is estimated that the gold output
of Colorado for the year 1898 will
reach $50, 900, 600, and that half of this
will be produced by the mines of the
Cripple Creek district.
A Spok sne. Wash. special says: A
telephone message from Republic
Camp, on the north half of the Colville
reservation, says that the miners have
cross-cut twenty'our feet OF ore In the
big ledge on the 43O foot level aud the
drills were still ia ore. The news of
the big gold strike has spread to the
surrounding mining districts and the
excitement is intense.
Ignacio Garcia, who WAS the original
owner of the Garcia mine near Wick
nburg, is in tho city. Garcia sold his
mine to the Garcia Mining company
for $50, 900, a portion of which has
been paid to him. The mine he own
ed is said to have produced over $780,
600 since it was discovered. The mine
was left idle for q while and the shaft
filled with water and was never un
watered until the present owners secur-
ed 1t. They are making good mine
of it.-Republican.
Gold Is now extracted by mixing the
ore with common salt and sulphuric
acid, then adding q solution of perman
is formed, and chlorine is liberated to
comb ine with the gold, forming
chloride of gold. This new method as
employed at Mount Morgan, Queens
land, is said to have advantages over
the amalgamation and cyanide process
ses. 1t is more searching than mer-
curry and can be applied to ores contain
ing copper. Enquirer.
a. J. Hutchinson has five miners
employed on an extension of the
Hanover mine, named the Emma.
The shaft was sunk to depth of 80
feet showing copper-iron ore the en-
tire distance from the surface. The
ore carried a large excess of iron and
small percentage of copper. A drift
was run from the bottom of the shaft
sixty feet, under Hanover hill. At
the end of the drift the ore became
richer in copper and now runs 20 per
cent In copper with an excess of iron.
The extent of the ore> body is not
IL tsing.a large one.-Silver City En-,
terprise.
One of the most important and larg-
est mining deals that has ever been
made in Pine county, says the Tucson
Citizen, has been closed this week be-
tween Washington w. Jacobs of Tue
son and his partner, Thomas Childs of
the Ojo District, and VIM. Shotwell of
Denver, Colorado. The property in
question is the Csrdinoff mine situated
in the Ojo District. Pima County, and
the consideration is 100000. A 40 ton
plant Is to be Immediately erected and
will gradually be enlarged till it
reaches capacity of 300 tons
daily. The ores are copper and gold
and the qualities are sufficient gusran-
tee for the erection of q large plant.
The owners receive 500 each in ad-
vance each month, and 80 per cent, of
the gross proceeds. Mr.. Jacobs is to
be congratulated on the conclusion of
this deal, which may and doubtless will
lead to the more active opening up of
that section of the country, consum-
nation that would be of great public
benefit
