sThe Pioneer District.

In auirterview with Mining Engin- eet tG.yG. McNamara he gave the IRI- BENEi nan the following informa tionin relation to that part of the Pioneer Mining District that lies between Min erai SHil and Box Canyon.
 a'Yes," said Mir. McNamara, "Mr. k. T. Smith and myself have secured by purchase and located IA claims, aggre- gating over 800 feet cf development work in the way of shafts, tunnels, dfffSs, etc.
 tn this district there is one vein fully 100 feet wide cutting the country from northwest to southeast and traceable by the croppings for over two miles. This lode carries copper in sulphGrets. and will average from per cent to. 6, per cent with about $10 in gold and silver; this ore can be readily eoueen- trated 20 to 30 into one. I have not yet made assays of the concentrates, but if it holds it's values 1t can be readily seen that the property can be made to pay from the start
 "We also have group of five claims carrying carbonates of lead and galeaa. These veins are from 6 to sn feet wide and gave by fire assay from t0tper cent to 50 per cent lead with a small value ip gold and silver.
 "But in my iudflment ths best prop erty in tue distrie is a discovery made by myself and xnown as the Minta Morgan. Breaki ng piece of ordinary looking float th at proved to be almost pure chalcopyrete,. led to, this dis covery, and with the aid of Mn. ). H. Brown the vein was soon found aud proved to De fully 30 feet wide. Average samples of the eroppings yielded by;Issay: copper 21 80 per cent, gold 1.60 ounces, silver 0.50 ounces, making a total value of $ll7.24 per ton. A force of men will be put to work at once on this claim and the Minta Morgan will undoubtedly prove pay mine from the start.
 "Throughout this section there is also considerable gold bearing quartz which, however, is notsfree milling but amenable to cyanide treatment.
 ''There was great rush to this dis trict and considerable development was done during the halcyon days of the Silver King, 15 or 20 years ago. On the decline of silver work was discon- tinued, aud indeed many of the prop. critics were abandoned.
 In these days little attention was p;lid to gold quartz in Pioneer District, unless it was property free,milling. Un- fortunately the gold bearing rock will not plate 20 per cent of it value. You see 15, years ago very little was known about the cyanide treatment; j; in fact, it has only been in the last four or five years that t has been successful l iy opera aeed. Now ores of the character that I've found in abundance will readily yield from 90 per cent to s5 per cent of their values by this treatment and ahe extraction should not cost to exceed g per ton.
 Pioneer District in. my opinion is destined in the near. future to. be chased among the gold and copper producers of Arizona"
