MINES AND MINING!

c. c. Stukey, who has been devel- oping some mining property at Hill side, says they are opening up in a very satisfactory manner. N. R. Noble is interested with MT. Stukey in the claims.
 In the advertising columns of this issue will be found an advertisement of a great bargain in a mill. The mill is complete in every respect, and like many other good mills was erected on property where such expenditure was not justi6able. The parties arc now willing to sell it for less than half of what they are out on it, and the man or company who has property that will justify putting mill on can get the bene- fit of their bad judgment.
 Jules Baumann was in town today from his mining camp. He has just completed arrangements whereby he will commence active work on his group of mines. The property has been worked recently under lease, and the lessees opened up a fine body of ore in drifting. Drifts were run in both directions from the shaft and good ore was found in both of them. MT. Baumann will put four men to work and will take out ore for shipment. This prop erty has already achieved a good reputation, and like many others which make a good showing with the amount of development, needs capital to thoroughly develop it and put up a plant for the reduction of ore.
 The Zonia Copper company, of this county, whose properties are tributary to Kirkland station, on the s. F. P. & P. railroad, is figuring on putting in a S100,000 teaching plant to work the ores of their mine. These ores are taken from an i'm mense deposit or body of low grade copper ore, which ore body is said to be 100 feet wide at its narrowest point. There is over 20O0 tons of ore in sight which carries six per cent copper and small percentage of gold. This ore, it is claimed, is too low grade to smelt, but can be treated proftably if handled on 6 large scale by teaching process. In this connection, it is stated that copper ore which carries only two per cent copper is successfully and proftably treated at Clifton.
 John H. Hise has interested Gin. cinnati capital in some mining prop critics at Placeritas. So far as known MT. Hise is the first man who ha! succeeded III securing capital iron there for investment in Arizona and if thus enterprise proves success ful it will mean other large invest
 ments in mining here by capitalist
 from that city. The base of Mir
 Hise's operations is on claims for
 merly owned by Hon. A. W. Callen
 more familiariy known as "Old Griz
 zly." MT. Callen staid by them fol
 years and never for an instant way
 cred in his saith of their merits, bu
 did not possess the capital to develol
 them as required to put them on
 paying basis. He put forth eYery
 effort possible to enlist capital il
 the enterprise, but failed in this als
 except on one or two occasions, an(
 the parties who became interested
 not being familiar with the minini
 business, became discouraged an'
 quit. MT. Hise is thorough min
 ing man and realizes just what ha
 to be done before the mines can b
 made to pay, and realizes that
 will require large outlay of capita and those who have become associ ated with him not only have ampl means to carry it through to a sue ] cessful issue, but have entered int } it with a full knowledge of wha ] will be required and with the deter , imitation to carry it out. The proI ' erty is located along an imnens dyke, the ledge or vein being 150 t ) 200 feet wide and two miles i } length. The ore is not high grade ) but is in large bodies. The partie , have secured large body of land l Peoples valley, including the rane ' of Mrs. Laura Hamilton, the trans l fer of title to which was made O
 Monday. They have also secured
 mill site near this land, and propos
 to erect a 100-stamp mill on it i ) the near future. A wagon road wi } be built from the mill site to th : mines, on which a steam tractio wagon will be used for the transpol 3 tation of the ore to the mill. A fiv ! stamp prospecting mill willbeerecte |. immediately for use in working th : cres during the development of th mine. Among those interested i this mammoth enterprise are c. { l Bragg and Bryan Erkenbreche 3 MT. Hise will push the developmeI : work just as rapidly as it IS possib l to do so.
