MINERAL RESOURCES
Continued from first page.)
THE VULTURE MINE.

Extensive improvements in this property are now under way. The eighty stamp mill is being overhauled and new equippage is being added. A pipe line will be put in to carry wa ter to the mill frem the Hassayampa river, and as soon as this is completed the mill will be started up again. It is now idle to give all the water sup ply at the camp-which comes from the west shaft-to the cyanide plant which is treating 100 tons of tailings every two days. The tailings dump of the Vulture is the largest in the ter ritory. It is mine in itself which is giving it's owners a handsome profit. The Vulture property was sold last spring to the New Vulture Mining company, of which Joseph c. Mckee is manager and w. c. Davis of Tucson is one of the principal stockholders. The Vulture mine was worked exten- sively in the early days and up to a few years ago, and it is said to have produced $16,000,000. It was discov- cred by Henry Wickenburg, now liv- ing at Wickenburg, in 1S63 Although extensively worked the Vulture is still a rich mine. As mines are worked these days it is but a prospect as the deepest shaft is only 800 feet When the water supply is improved the Vul- ture will take it's old place among the large gold producers of the ter ritory.

LUCKY JOHNNIE MINE.

c. Hayden of Columbus, O., is the owner of the Lucky Johnnie gold mine which is located in Rich Hill short distance from Stanton. MT. Hayden resides in Phoenix with his family, but he makes frequent trips to his mine and keeps good track of what is going on there. The Lucky Johnnie has not yet attained to the distinction of be- ing a producer. The shaft is down 200 feet and no drifting has been done so far. An immense ore chute has been struck and it is the intention of MT. Hayden to drift into it and de- termine the value of the mine. The character of the ore is an iron sul- phuret, and the gold values have in- creased with depth. The shaft is well timbered, and the ore is raised by a whim. The Lucky Johnnie is con- sidered one of the best prospects in Weaver district by mining men who have examined it. Mr. Hayden also owns some claims which begin at the apex of Rich Hill and run down the eastern slope. This ledge is supposed to have produced the placer gold which has been found on the mountain. Rich Hill has produced $1,O0O,OO0 of placer gold since 1862 when it was discovered MT. Hayden will begin to develop these claims when he has prospected the Lucky Johnnie thoroughly.

AUTOGRAPH IN YAVAPAI.

Arizona has remarkable deposit of Autograph stone. It is remark able for two reasons-its extent and the ex- cellent qualities it carries The de- posit was found several years ago, about twenty-five miles east of Mayer, in Yavapai county, where the large onyx beds are. It has a disadvantage in being located in a rather remote place, and this is no doubt why so lit tie is known of it. The deposit cov- CTS 400 acres, nearly twice as much space as the onyx beds cover. A mar ble strata covers the Autograph rock. This is about eight feet thick, and would constitute an industry of itself The Autograph rock begins directly under this layer of marble and runs to an unknown depth. No development work has been done. There are sev- eral claims which cover the entire cropplngs. They are owned by Joe Mayer and a number of ranchers
 This is the first large discovery of Autograph rock known in the United States. The rock used in this country comes from Bavaria principally. It varies in cost from $5 to $20 a square foot. For the finest color work the best rock to be found is used. Com parlsons Of the Arizona rock with that of Bavaria shows striking similarity. It is difficult to distinguish one from the other. As far as the development work has gone here the rock appears to be firm and in continuous stratas. which will allow large blocks to be taken out in an almost perfect state. This is another instance of the need of capital in Arizona.

KING OF ARIZONA.

One of the largest strikes ever made in Arizona was the King of Arizona in the S. H. mountains, eighty miles northeast of Yuma. The strike was made just a year ago by Edward Eich- elberger. Six claims were located by Eichelberger. They were sold in April to Col. Epes Randolph, Eugene s. Ives and R. c. Duncan, who have been op- erating the property with success since May. The output of the mines is $1,- 900 day with but a five stamp mill located thirty-five miles from the mine at Mohawk. The ore has to be hauled across long stretch of desert, and there is some difficulty in keping the small mill running with ore. Exten sive improvements in the milling fla cilities will be made soon. A tramway will be built, running from the mine to the present mill site to carry the ore. A ten stamp mill will take the place of the Huntington mill now in use and other improvements will be made to increase the output of the mine. The improvements noted are made necessary by the failure to obtain wa ter supply at the mine.
 The shaft of the King of Arizona is down 100 feet. At this depth the ore body is twenty-six feet in width with an average value of $50 to the ton. It is estimated by the foreman of the mine that there is $11, 100000 in the mine without sinking another foot. The ore is free milling and the richer portions of the mine run up to $3,000 a ton. With improvements for handl- ing the ore the mining force will be greatly augmented and the output of the mine increased extensively.

BLACK ROCK DISTRICT.

Twelve miles northeast of Wicken- burg is the Black Rock district which contains some good mines and prom ising prospects. The Gold Bug mine in this district is producing some good ore, and it is surrounded by a large number of developed prospects which have excellent showings. There is copper in this district as well as gold, and there is no better showing anywhere in the territory for the development of large mines. There is more activity in Black Rock dis trict this spring than ever before and some substantial improvements are under way by the owners of properties there. A smelter is located at Briggs in this district and there is also a five stamp mill there.
 It is rich mineral district through out and the natural supply of wood and water makes it an inviting field for mining The ores in this district are iii the main base, but there are a number of free milling propositions which will make good producers when they are developed. Wickenburg is the shipping point and great deal of ore is shipped to the smelters from the mines in this district

FINAL COUNTY MINES.

Pinal county has two well known copper producers, besides great many smaller mines which are making themselves known to the world. The Old Dominion and the Buffalo are the pride of Globe, the big mining camp up in the cool altitude of Pinal noun tain. The Buffalo has been a constant producer of copper for a great many years and it is one of the best prop critics in the southwest. The Old De- minion has been closed down for the past six months, but the shelter will be blown in again soon. There are many good mines in Pinal county. The Black Warrior is already a producer of some magnitude, and other mines will become producers with the con- pletion of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad, which will be built this summer. Globe is one of the best camps in the territory, and a rapid growth is anticipated with the coming of the railroad.

AS TO CUBA.

The recent statements from various sources that strong annexation sen timent is growing in Cuba even among the Spanish on the island who have large property interests, are more than likely founded on fact. And it is more than probable that Cuba's fu- ture will be under the stars and stripes rather than under the independent standard of it's own.
 Many there are who profess to be- lieve that we ought not to desire Cuba as part of the American Union on account of the radical differences and the differences in language and cus- toms. How long would it be before Cuba under the American flag was Americanized? In less than ten years the English language would virtually be the only one spoken, American population would be the dominant one, American capital would control every field of industry and Louisiana and Mississippi and Florida would not be more American than Cuba.
 There is no richer territory on the globe than this Gem of the Antilles and under American influences and meth ods it would become in a decade one of the wealthiest, most prosperous and attractive states in the Union. It has an area a little larger than Ken lucky and a population, estimated at 1,600,000, before the insurrection be- gan.
 There is one controlling reason why the United States should have the island and that is of a sanitary nature. American sanitary methods in Cuba are necessary for the protection of our southern states and under such meth ods Cuba would soon become as health full as Florida.
 The island is within the legitimate sphere of our influence, almost a part of the mainland, has a population that could easily be improved and rendered useful to us, and immigration would be so large that soon the popular com plexion would not be different from other of our states. We would obtain added wealth and strength by the ac- quisition of Cuba. The reasons sug- gesting the desirability of annexation, therefore, are entirely different from those involved in the question of Ha- waiian annexation.
 There is not another civilized nation on earth that similarly situated with us, would have waited this long to jump at an excuse for placing the is- land under it's flag.

THE M'CABE MINE.

The McCabe is the property of Judge Wells of Prescott, Hugh McCrum of San Francisco and w. S. Parsons of Tombstone. The mine has been de- veloped in fine shape. It has just be- gun to be a producer, and it is fast taking a prominent place among the mines of Yavapai county. There is ten stamp mill at the McCabe. A large camp has sprung up at the mine, and a number of prospects in the neighborhood of the McCabe are being developed which give encouraging signs of adding new producers to the new camp.

CROWNED KING.

Crowned King is one of Yavapals s best gold producers. It stands next to Congress in development and out put The company has three claims running across the western slope Of the highest peak of the Bradshaws. There is a double compartment shaft which is water-tight The tunnels are all well timbered, and the mine has ex- cellent ventilation throughout the workings. The mine is drained in an excellent manner and pumped to the surface for use in milling. The output of Crowned King is from thirty to fifty thousand dollars a month.
 The mine is over a mile from the mill. It stands several hundred feet higher, which allows the water suf- ficient fall to flow of it's own gravity through the pipes to the mill below. The water from the lower levels of the mine goes out through separate pipe line This is better water and the pipes take it to the boarding houses at the mine and mill. Water from the upper levels is used in the mill and stables. There is ten stamp mill and eight four foot van ners. A new ore crusher has been put in position above the stamps. The ore is hauled to the mill in large wagons, dumped into a bin from which it goes into the crusher and on through the process of milling. From the mine the ores are received in a bin from which the wagons are loaded rapidly and with ease. The output of the mill is about twenty-eight tons day. The values average high enough to allow generous dividends every month to the stockholders. The percentage of sav- ings in amalgamation increases as depth is reached in the mine. The ore bodies also increase in size and the values run higher as every additional foot is attained in depth. About 15C men are employed by the Crowned King company at the present time This includes the entire working force The wages are s4.50, $4, $3.50, $3 and s2.50. Miners wages are s350. The mine has been in operation for nine years, and some of the original work. men are still there.

CHERRY CREEK DISTRICT.

The Etta mine on the Rio Verde slope of the Black Hills has felt the ac- tivity which a new strike gives a mine. Since James Shirley took hold of this property year ago it has been worked vigorously. A short time ago a rich body of ore was encountered in the mine which has started it on a career of prosperity. There are hundreds of good prospects in the Cherry creek district and many pro- ducing mines. The we'll known "B. B." mine produced $20,000 last year, and ore is being hauled from pros meets in this district to the stamp mills on Cherry creek. Frank Biffer is working a gold claim in this dis trict with an arastra run by water pOwre. He has kept this arastra run ming for years and it gives him good income
Arizona republican., 1898-02-28
BIG BUG DISTRICT.

In addition to the gold mines in this district the large onyx beds at Mayer give Big Bug prestige over other districts. The company owning these beds are working a large number of men and the shipments of onyx to eastern points are very large. When the Big Bug road is completed the company will operate more extensive ly, and the mines in that district will be infused with new life. The Henri etta, Annie, and Lottie will be much benefited by the railroad. The Boggs mine will be worked again, and the smaller mines will be able to operate with profit.
Arizona republican., 1898-02-28
CONGRESS GOLD MINE.

The Congress gold mine is one of Arizona's most substantial mines. It has been steady producer for many years, and each year the mine produces some new ore veins to make it neces- sary to add to the facilities for treat ing the product. Like the United Verde copper mine it is too well known to require any more description than the readers of The Republican have become familiar with through the columns of this paper. The Congress has a plant which includes all of the modern processes for treating ores and tailings. There are 500 men constant ly employed. The mine produced in the neighborhood of $1,000,000 last year, and this years product promises to be even larger.

LYNX CREEK PLACERS.

The Lynx Creek Gold company has large area of rich placer ground which the company is working on an extensive scale. They have a steam shovel and amalgamator which has a capacity of 400 cubic yards day. The average value of the placer ground is twenty-five cents cubic yard, but with the absence of boulders and rocks the ground would run much higher in value. This company has been oper- ating successfully for several years, and they have enough ground to keep them busy for many years to come. large number of men are washing gravel at all times of the year on Lynx creek and there are some rich spots in that region.
