and cyanide plant is being moved to
the King of Arizona mine. The water

John Berrie is in from Lynx creek,
where he has just struck q fine BODY of
ore in the face of the SO-foot tunnel on
his Lincoln mine. The pay streak is
about 20 inches wide and horns about
S25 per ton gold. The ore, however,
carries high percentage of silver. Mr..
Berrie brought some of the ore to town
discovered this property July
4th, 1890, and has since been
working on it as he was fnan-
cially able. He would work his placer
mine and when he got little ahead,
would put the placer gold into devel-
oping the quartz property. Now, he
feels better, and is about to reap
merited reward for his industrious
perseverance. He has $4OO worth of
gravel piled up on his placer claim,
which he will work when the snow
waters come down.-Prescott Courier.
Bud Woodson came in last night
from Webster gulch where he has
been doing assessment work on a group
of seven copper claims owned by
Beard. of Florence, Chas. Holman and
himself. The work of four claims was
done in the crosscut tunnel on the
Carvils claim which was driven IS
feet, farther, making its pres
emit length 215 feet, and which
cuts the lead at depth of
about 100 feet below the sur
face. Some time ago good ore W s
struck in this tunnel and Is to Is feet
of ore has since been gone through and
the face of the tunnel is still in ore
(carbonates and glance) which will
average from 10 to Is per cent copper.
It is an i'm % nse body of ore, in for
nation of quartz and porphyry, and as
q leacbing proposition it would be hard
to find it's equal. On the opposite side
of the hill are the Finlet-
ter claims, on one of
which is I2O foot tunnel, directly op-
pOsite and running toward the tunnel
in the Carvite. The Finletter tunnel
is in ore it's entire length and the
dump averages over per cent copper.
Twenty feet of ore was cut that aver
ages much higher, and Is the same
character as that found in the claims
which Mr.. Woodson has been develop
ing. These properties are desirable
for company with ample capital to
operate on a large scale.-GlObe Silver
