There is ore enough on the dump at
the mill to keepe it running while the
new machinery. which is to be added,

the mill will be kept running Til all
the ore on the dump is worked. The

A GOOD PAYER
Burt Dunlap. OF Wilcox. Ariz.. is de-
veloping a good mining property in the
Dragon mountains. not far from Co

and discovering a large amount more
of the same character and quality.
A COMING PROPERTY.
Fourteen miles southeast of Will
cox, AriZ.. is a fine copper property
which is fairly well developed in pre-
mil tS no Cah
as. A ten fot body of 25 per cent cop
per and a sixty foot body of per
cent copper constitute the discoveries
in this property at present, and it is
thought that these are stringers of the
main body for which a tunnel is now
being driven. The tunnel is 7x5 feet
and has been carried in TAO feet. A
lower tunnel cuts in at the 275 foot
level but the workings are not yet I'M
der the apex where it is expected the
large body is. Altogether 1920 feet of
development work Las beeen done. In
the long tunnel three shifts of men
are working with Rand drills.
A GREAT PLACER CAMP.
Old miners declare Cape Nome to be
the most wonderful placer camp ever
discovered. Fabulous stories are told
of the riches found in the sand of the
beach and in the gulcheS and creeks
thereabout. One miner named Lind
bloom. who returned to Seattle a few
days ago. cleared up 100000 during
the present season. and has refused
$500. 900 in cash for his holding A
single nugget worth $3.50 was taken
from one OF his claims recently. An
other man from Sioux City, Ia. has
brought down to Seattle with him S.
900 n dust taken from a space forty
five feet square on Cape Nome beach.
