and while there was shown ever
 courtesy by Superintendent l.. \
 Wombacher, and by him the News re porter was allowed to make thorough
 examination of the mines, mill, etc.
 a courtesy extended to all who may
 care to visit the property, because, as
 Superintendent Wombacher said
 "We have great mine here for the
 development done, and as we now
 have ore at a depth of nearly 200 feet
 we have passed what we considered
 the danger point in gold mining in
 Arizona, and we want the public to
 know this that the territory may
 benefit by the knowledge" The Mon
 arch Gold & Copper Mining company
 is composed by Boston capitalists.
 who organized for the purpose of de-
 veloping what is known as the
 Eclipse-Oriss group of Gold mines,
 located on the east side of the Black
 Hills, twelve miles south of Jerome.
 There are eleven claims in the-grsdp
 on all of which there is more or less
 ore exposed. On the eclipse the most
 development work has been done.
 and it has been estimated that from
 this claim alone S25,000 worth of gold
 has been taken, most of which was
 worked from the ores in the most
 crude manner. In the Eclipse the
 deepest workings in the group occur,
 being an incline shaft the bottom of which is between 190 and 200 feet
 from the surface. At the bottom of this shaft there is a twenty foot drift north through a splendid body of high grade free milling ore, every pound of which will pay to mine. The shaft is in ore, as are slso several cuts and tunnel which was run through a body of ore for one hundred feet. The reporter asked a miner working in this claim, how much ore was in sight, and he replied that he, with the rest of the miners at work there, esti- mated that there was from 400 to 800 tons of pay ore in sight ready to be taken out. The ore is easily mined, as is proven by the fact that two men took down and hoisted to the surface over p tons of ore in less than one week. The mill is 450-lb five stamp and will only be made use of during a few months to test the ores during development. Preparations are now being made to work some ore from the | body opened up by Superintendent Wombacker in the lower level. The | mill will start up Monday morning. The company will sink a 800 foot double compartment working shaft, and is now making all necessary ar to start work thereon. From this shaft the ore bodies on all the claims will be worked, and the miners employed in the mines express themselves as confident that the Mon lrch mine will prove one of the great est gold producers in the southwest.

 The Verde Queen Copper Co. have 'eceived consignment of coke and it $ reported that the smelter will be blown in about the 18th for long 'un. The development work has been pushed ahead during the past few months and good bodies of ore have ,een opened up in the drift from the bottom of the shaft. The ore is an 'xide rich in copper.-Jerome Mining , News.
 The county will be more interested n the dry concentrator mill that will 'e erected at the Minnesota-C -Connor ( nine at Chloride than anything else n the machinery line that has come I 0 this county. All the tests have ( cen more than satisfactory and the I 'rocess is guaranteed. A successful ny concentrator is worth more to I lohave county than anything else.
 It is rumored that a fine ore body t as at last been struck in the Dos Ca ezas Consolidated. This is certainly :. Ielcome news to Dos Cabezas and vi z inity.
