The prospect work on the Ray group
has revealed an ore body from six to
eight hundred feet in width and over
one mile in length, and the deepest
shafts have not yet gone through it.
And it is believed that this entire
mammoth body will average from FIVE
to six per cent copper. From this some
idea of the future possibilities Of this
great property as producer can be
formed.-Arizona Blade.
r. Ker,do and NJ. Ottagawa, two
wealthy japanese mining men from
Toxic, we're guests of the Copper
Queen company. These gentlemen be-
sides being largely interested person
ally in copper mines in their native
country, represent an immense amount
of capital. They will visit all the min.
ing camps in the territory. Their final
destination is Paris where the exposi-
ton will engage their attention for
swhile.-Bisbee Review.
The Black Warrior Copper Com pany,
Amalgamated, are RAINING their leach
ing works day and night and every
thing about the plant works perfectly.
However, the company has discovered
that they will be unable to make any
money until they get their own acid
plant installed, as acid shipped in costs
400 per ton, and they expect TO be able
to make ii at their works for 6S to los
per ton. Twenty tons of acid per day
are required for the teaching works.
The company are now opening up sui
phide ores on Gold gulch, from which
they expect to make their own acid

John Hayes Hammond, the South
African mining millionaire, encouraged
to do SO by Senator Jones of Nevada,
may possibly become interested in
Yuma county's development. His rep
resentatives, Messrs. Webb and Moore
Of California, recently conducted q
cursory preliminary examination of
the Del Monte group of mines near
Harrisburg, and it is said were quite
we'll pleased. These properties consist
Of huge bodies of low grade ores, eu-
tirely free milling. Mr.. Hammond, it
is claimed, is looking for nothing bet
ter than an average 4s ore, and it is
upon this basis that the Del Monte
group will be tested. These claims
we're sold two years ago by William
Boes of Harrisburg, to S. W. Dorsey,
for a small consideration, but it is IN
derstood that the latter thinks we'll
enough of them to hold them very
high.--Glc,be Silver Belt.
Jim Cham bers has on the dump of
his Good Hope mine, which is pear the
Jersey Lily road across Hasssyampa
creek, about 80 tons of ore which will
plate 40s per ton. Besides these 80
tons he has eight tons that will run
aboat 3OOs per ton. The Good Hope
has produced several shipments Of high
grade ore, aud the mine is said to look
better than ever. Mr.. e. has taken out
most of the present shipment alone
during the last six months-some s.
000s worth, which speaks volumes for
the mine. Just over the ridge from
the Cham bers' property is the Gold
Leaf, belonging to e. p. Holiday and
j l. GardDer, which has a fine showing
Of ore Ia the lowest workings. The
pay streak Is continuous and of good
size for 20y feet and ore still in breast
Of tunnel. La places the pay streak is
four feet wide. An average sample of
the face of the tunnel yielded 28s gold
per ton.-Prescott Courier.
A Dallas, Texas, dispatch says: A
party of gold hunters in the Keene
neighborhood, near Cleburne, in John
son county, headed by George DeWald
and James Smokey, say they have dis
covered famous and rich lost Mexi-
can niue on the banks of the Brazos
river, In the mountains skirting the
stream. They declare their belief that
the discovery Is one of The noted mines
worked by Mexicans century or more
ago. They traced surface indications
OF mineral to the entrance of cave or
mine which was closed mp in front by
stone slab, which they removed. To
their surprise, they found cave or
mine extending into the mountain 200
yards, which they thoroughly explored.
They are satisfied that they have set
tied the traditional story of fabulous
