MINES AND MINING

Frank Raymond has started work again on his Pittsburg group of mines near McCabe. He has over 800 feet of development and shows veins of sulphide ore that will easily measure one foot. Thirty assays gave S33 ton.
 Henry Stoddard, who is soon to commence work on the 97 mine, has in that property good showing.
 | is the southeast extension oi the American Flag and carries a big vein of tow grade sulphide ore. A shaft over 40 feet deep has been sunk and other work given to dem onstrate its merits.
 The shelter of the Arizona, East ern & Montana Company on Big
 Bug is being repaired and generally remodeled, suggesting an active life soon. This company has secured
 the lone Pine, Governor Teddy and tLe Easy Boss mines and will soon il is said start up work on all and handle the ores at their shelter.
 Charley Kingsley and Frank Thornton are working on the Exam iner and Mineral Hill within a quar-
 ter of mile of Huron station aud are developing some remarkable ground. They have reached-a depth of 50 feet on the Examiner and 20
 feet on the Mineral Hill. Samples show 43 per cent copper aud $50 in
 gold per ton. They have made a shipment of ore and will continue development.
 Good reports reach us of develop
 ment work on the Rebel mine, one
 half mile southwest of the McCabe
 and like all old time and heretofore
 neglected claims little money aud
 practical experience Is giving the
 usual result. The Rebel IS now 1S2
 feet deep and body of sulphide ore
 five feet across has been developed
 It IS the intention to sink 200 feet
 further and the probabilities are the
 property will be then heavy and
 steady producer. The Rebel Ioca-
 tion is an old one and until it was
 taken hold of by the Clitfords has
 been like many others an obscure
 and undeveloped claim. George
 Rohpeter is in charge of it and feel:

 l. Arrangements are being made q resume work on the Gopher mir 1t near McCabe and by the first C l. April it will again be the center ( @ activity. This property enjoys e very good name and no doubt B. expressed that when again take e hold of it will be operated on prir ,e ciples that will make its career ,s profitable one. On the Gopher al ID two hoisting plants, while develol r. ment work shows two shafts-2C y- and I5O feet each-and in additit A the mine is well opened in drifts an r. stopes. The ore carries gold an 10 silver. The Gopher vein is a col ,e tinuation of the American Flag ( g. old Henrietta. which gives it TOT of thence as being on clear and we g. defined belt that cuts through tn is country for miles and at n my poin at is being opened and is producir as handsomely.
