Listen to the further tidings from
that section:

transfer of the Treadwell group to
eastern capitalists. They were sum-

here for this purpose and have received
their first payment on this property and
are wearing pleasant smiles and recaiG-

to say something of the operations GO

In July of last year Henry s. MackGy
pronounced MackD. of Denver. paid
our county a visit i'm pursuit of mines
/ The writer conversed with him gener-
ally on the subject OF our mineral pms
sibilities and he became 50 interested
that he examined som, OF our proper

that he returned last January, and pur-
chased thu Golden Gem rhine of r. l..
Ayres. at Cerbat. making q substantial
cash payment. Following this deal he
bought the G. o. ID. Mine, and thu
Prince George, on Stockton Hill range.
and the Tubb mine near the Golden
Gem. Each of these properties have
fine records as producers. the G. o. ID.
having produced over a million of dol
lars from workings to a depth Of only
$50 feet and without crosscutting the
vein. From the Golden Gem T. l..
Ayres, former owner, took out $l73, 600
with horse whim taad the old buck
skin horse is still alive and ablc to kick
up his heels), shipping the ore TO
Pueblo nnelter for treatment. Mr..
Ayres worked the Gem to a depth of
only 200 feet and left in sight on the
dumps and in the mine a fortune of
$4,000. He scarcely realized this fact
then. but rejoices in the fact that there
liz something left for his successor in
ownership, for he had made his stake
and was willing to let loone. Mr..
Mackay's keen eye was not slow in
seeing a great future for the Gem.
The Prince George is wondc rfully
rich silver property from which, in the
short space of so days $50. 600 was taken
out n few years ago. and by very
primitive manner OF mining. Since
then the property has been idle owing
to conflicting interests failing to agree
The Tubb mine Is one of the larges.
iissures in this section, being so feet
wide in solid ore of paying values, al
depth of fifty feet. With develop
ment and modern means of treatment
the Tubh mine will be among Arizona's
largest producers.
Mr.. Mackay is now giving his most
active attention to the c. o. ID. mine,
and has good force Of men at work,
asraightenng up and widening the
main shaft and sinking and running
levels on the ore stratas. He is en-
countering good bodies of ore in the
old workings. The ledge in the C. o. ID.
Is forty feet widt. hut no attempt at
crosscutting ii was ever made by the
former operators, satisfying themselves
by following only one of the several
ore lodges between the walls. From
Mr.. Mackay's extensive mining expert
ence elsewhere he readily saw great
possibilities in the c. o. ID. by properly
prosecuting the same. AS temporary
experiment he ran a crosscut from the
200 foot level and had not gone but a
few feet until H. encountered a new
body of ore. twelve feet wide, carrying
on an average 81 ounces in silver and
good milling value i'm god. This was
something tn former operators had
never dreamed Of Mr.. Mackay's opin-
ion Is that he is quite likely to strike
several other such ore bodies when the
mine is crosscut. There is now on this
property thirty ton capacity mill and
1t is kept busy grinding the ores. The
outlook $50 favorable that Mackay and
associates are getting material on the
ground TO erect q strictly up-to-date
mill OF fifty tons capacity to treat the
L. %. ID. ores, and in a very short time
