A cave in the bottom of the Juno
mine last week carried down with it
several sets of shaft timbers. So far
the ground has not been caught up
and in consequence work in the drifts
has been much impeded. The ore cut
in the bottom of the shaft prior to the
cave was well mineralized and con-
siderable shipping ore could be assort-
ed from IT, As soon as the ground has
been caught up the shaft will be driven
down into the new ore body and drifts
run off. The mine under the present
management has done an immense
amount of development work and will
soon have things in shape to begin
shipping regularly to the smelters.

A Big Cleanup.

Last week the Sheeptrail mill made
cleanup of run of twenty and one
half days of the twenty-stamp mill,
working half time, that gave bar of
gold weighing 30,00s. The mill has a
daily capacity of 90 tons, but the teams
now employed can haul but 81 tons
daily. Figuring on the full capacity Of
the mill the ore gave an average of sos
per ton, an exceptionally high average
per ton when it is considered that only
plate amalgamation is used. The ore
is probably the highest in grade that
has been worked In an Arizona mill in
recent years. With cooler weather it
is the. intention of the company to put
on more teams ani run the mill to the
full capaitcy. When this mill com
mences to turn ont from TO- 00s to l0J,
