 | Engineer Andrew Barry has com
 pleted the survey for q pipe line
 from the Hassayampa river to the
 Garcia camp. The Garcia Gold
 Company Is a rev organization
 which has acquired title to valuable claims south of Wickenburg which
 is now designated as Garcia camp.
 The lncCTpOrators are Englishmen
 and command large capital. The
 company will run a pipe line from
 the river, a distance of four miles
 from the camp, near the same spot
 where the old Vulture pipe line was
 run. Several ear loads of improved
 machinery are at Wickenburg await
 ing transportation to the mine. A
 ten-stamp mill will be erected and a force of carpenters is already at
 work on the mill. The mine is a gold proposition and the shaft is down l20 feet and shows up we'll. There are several valuable claims in
 the neighborhood. but the great
 expense necessary to pipe water
 from the river is holding back tbeir
 development, especially as the claims
 arc held bv people who have not
 the means. Although the district IS
 undoubtedly a rich one, it takes
 money, and considerable of it, to
 develop the claims, and as capital
 will not invest in undeveloped prop erty, the section IS being held back.
 The Garcia company will do much
 towards developing the mines in
 tha. region, and before long It will
 be one Of the busiest mining camps in the northern part of the territory. Herald.
 The Mining and Scientific Press of recent date has the following from a correspondent in regard to the Nulture mine: The new Vul- ture Mining company Is in control ot the old historic vulture, sixteen miles southwest of Wickenburg. Between 1863 and 1888 this mine produced about Sl6,OOO.OOO. In earlier days fifty stamp mill was built near the present site of Wick enberg and the ore hauled from the mine. This old mill was long since moved away. and for the past | four pears Helm Bros. have oper- ated cyanide plant on the tailings. The latter handle sixty tons per day. Before the Wickenberg mill | was abandoned an S0-stamp mill ! was erected at the Vulture mine, | much of the machinery in which IS still m fair condition. That thls mill did service is shown by the | acres of tallings on which the new company IS now operating a cyanide plant to he extent of ninety tons per day, the product being about B per ton. The Vulture appears to have produced a good specimen of free-miliing ore down to the 5OO- foot level, below which there are The hanging wall is a porphyrY and the footwall slate The work from now on will be below the 500-foot level. where a considerable quantity of water Is encountered, which will be utilized in milling. In overhauling he old mill and starting it up, which 1t IS the purpose of the com pany to do, concentrators will be put in, as the ore from now on will De more refractory than formerly. The underground workings of the nine are intact. They hardly show stick of timber aud the manage nent claim 1t IS mlne which needs 10 tlmbering. It is claimed the ormer mill product generally was 'l7 per ton of ore milled. The yanlde plant, in charge of John F. Johnson, is working with four solu- ion tanks, each 6 feet deep and 26 eet in diameter, and the bed tail ngs from the old mill will appar- ntly keep the plant in operation everal years. W. c. Davis of Tue on IS manager of the new com any.
 A Denver mining paper has the to say of a very promis- lg property located in this county: Denver capital derived from min lg enterprises Is never idle. The len who have made money out of olorado mines have not hesitated } reinvest their profits whenever here has been a favorable oppor lnity. The latest results of Den IT enterprise are in Arizona, where
 Denver company has secured a ropertJ about fifty miles southeast Prescott that is now coming to le front as large producer. The o, -oup Of mines which compose. this th -operty consists of nine claims, "a h l of which are developed to some ar tent. The property was discovered ?, bout twenty years ago by man iu Imed Fuller. He had no capital T,
 speak of, and contended with the 1s fiiculty for many years, and the " Hue of this mine is demonstrated W, the fact that during sll this time VI e owner made fair living out of an e mine with an arastra which pro ni iced from s to SlO per day. It IS impossible for him to make i'm ovements with this income, and \ months ago the property fell in
 the hands of Denver company ganized by c. NJ. Hill of the Hotel ' lmperiale, at Denver, Colo, The E st necessity was the thorough de- \ loPment of the property, and the pital necessary for this work was forthcoming.
