MINING NOTES.

| Since the rich strike of copper glance
| in the Sterling, near Jerome, the Mark
| Smith, which is the first north extern
! sion, has been the subject of consider
/ able comment, principally on account
of the lay of the ground, many miners
claiming that the largest ore bodies
will be found in the Mark Smith.@Los
| Angeles VI. & NJ. Journal.
The Eclipse group, in Arizona, after
working their five-stamp mill for four
months, have shipped abcut $4,000 in
gold during that time. This is con-
sidered an excellent showing, consid-
ering that they have only 5,450-pound
stamps, with a capacity CT four tons
in twenty-four hours. There are 300
tens of tailings at the mill which assay
SIP per ton. Thirteen veins cross this
group, all O. which have been pros
pected and proven to carry ere. Some
very rich ore plating as high as $50 to
$50 a ton has been struck in the
Eclipse.-Denver Mining Reporter.
Mr.. Nicolai Andersen, first vice pres
ident and general manager of the st.
Louis Gold Recovery company, is in
Tombstone. The company is operat-
ing at Mammoth, where it has re-
Gently secured the tailings dump of
the Mammoth, mine and are using the
cyanide process in extracting tins gold
and silver. Mr.. Anderson is in charge
and is running through 230 tons CT
tailings every day, it being the largest
cyanide plant in the territory. The
company has operated in various
parts of the territory and successfully
handle all character of ores by their
process. The Prospector says that Mr.
Anderson is in Tombstone with a view
of locking over the Tombstone field
and with an eye to the erection of a
large plant here, if encouragement can
be had in the way of securing, on Iea-
sonable terms, the large low grade
dumps about the camp. To operate on
a large scale, as contemplated by the
company, would mean the expenditure
of considerable money for plant and
expense, therefore nothing will be at
tempted unless sufficient number of ore
dumps can be secured to warrant the
step and 1t Is to be hoped the various
Mining companies can be induced to
enter into satisfactory arrangements.
Labratory tests OF the various dumps
will be made and definite propositions
Nili follow.
