Mohave County miner., 1900-06-09


years past. There are some 300 feet of |
work done upon the property and three
men working steadily. A five stamp
mill is easily accessible where 81 tons
of ore has been treated. This ore
plated 25S per ton There is an abund- |
ance of copper ore that runs from to |
10 per cent, while the general assays of
all minerals runs from 40S to sos Wa |
ter was developed at depth of %
feet. This property has been under
bond and lease for some time for TO-
0O0S but the bond has been taken up.
Mr.. Devine reports that a great deal
of activity is being manifested through

| We are informed by President James
A. Fleming of the Black Warrior Cop
per Co., Amalgamated, that an import
ant strike of sulphide ore was made a
few days ago on their gold gulch prop
erty, which Is situated below the Con
tinental and five and half miles west
of Black Warrior. The ore was struck
at the water level, in an old prospect
shaft, at depth of 10 feet. The ledge
is l6 feet wide and the ore is black sui
phide, and pyrites of copper, the right
kind for making acid. The discovery
insures the erection of an acid plant
at an early date, and pending its con
structioh, teaching will be suspended.
The teaching works will be closed down
, today. The reverberatory furnace at
Black Warrior is being torn down and
. will bs rebuilt much larger. A force
of 40 men are building road mile
AMI half, to the Gold gulch property.

Gold mountain, in San Bernardino
county, which was abandoned by
Lucky" Baldwin many years ago. is
at present the scene of considerable
activity. A force of over sixty men is
. at work, says the Riverside Enterprise,
preparing the foundation for forty
stamp mill, which is now on the way
to that place, and quite mining camp
is spriuging up there. Il. j. Baldwin
once created forty-stamp mill on the
property, and expended a good many
: thousand dollars on it., tut he finally
! arrived at the conclusion that the ore
{ was not of sufficient value to warrant
) further work For several years moth
/. ing was done toward bringing the mine
forward. but last year it passed into
the hands of Capt. De la Mar, the min
; ing man, who has extensive interests
in Idaho, Nevada aud Utah. He sent
g experts to this part of the country, and
D their verdict settled the Gold noun
!. tain mining claims. The representa-
3 tives of Capt. De la Mar say that if the
: mine proves what it now promises, the
: forty-stamp mill will be Immediately
{ followed bv 100 more.
The Octave gold mine, near Stanton,
{ Yavapai county, which six months ago
J. was prospect, has given rise to "A new
: camp that is doubling its population
: in short intervals, and in the course of
few weeks will surround mine con-
; stantly feeding 4)-stamp mill, says
the Phenix correspondent Of the Los
Angeles Herald. The rapid growth of
D the new camp is one of the marvels of
9 mining i'm Arizona. The mine has been
developed by wealthy syndicate OF
men extensively interested in mining
: ia various parts of the country, aud
! large veins of fair grade rock have been
I traced to great depth, disclosing a
! quantity of ore sufficient to supply
! the large mill for years. The plant Is
modern and capable of handling twice
the amount of ore an ordinary 4O-stamp
. plant can receive. Besides the devel-
) opment of the we'll defined veins, pros
; pectors recently have discovered gold
r ia the porphyry, which, according to
: the accepted rules of mining, should
!. be barren. The porphyry carries from
