 The affairs nf thnNSnn Dance Min

The affairs of theN Sun Dance Min
 ing company have been amicably ad
 justed and all litigation has happil
 ended. Word was received today tha
 at meeting of the directors of tn
 company in Chicago, a general com
 promise was effected, a new superin
 tendent appointed and it was now tn
 intention to go ahead and develol
 the property on a more extensive anC
 practical scale than ever before. I'm
 new superintendent is en route t
 Prescott and due to arrive on Satur
 day. The claims of the Sun Danc'
 people lay but ten miles from Prescott
 in the Hassayampa range, and ar'
 rated in mining circles as among thu
 best in that section. and if interna
 affairs of the members of the svndi
 cate will permit their operation, there
 is no question but what they will bt
 heavy and profitable producers. Wt
 sincerely trust that these desirable
 claims will go ahead, on a steady run
 The company has wood, water and . fine mill on the ground.
 G. S. Routh, one of Yavapai coun tvs mining boys. has at last struck il rich, so he thinks, and has located three mining claims in Thumb Butte mining district northwest of Prescott There had been some work done on the property, but the former locaters had failed to sink in the right place and had abandoned the claims, but Mir. Routh investigated the matter very closely, and being a first class miner, took out some ore in new shaft which assays between $40 and S45 in gold and 72 ounces in silver almost at the grass roots. While the vein is small it gives every evidence of widening out at depth and may de- velop into a splendid property when developed. The Journal Miner wishes the boys the success all our good miners deserve.
 A mining deal was consummated today whereby two groups of mines, consisting of the Iron Chief. Little Wonder, Spot Cash and Last Chance. in one group belonging to Amer Childers and Albert Smith, and the Jim Blair, East Montana and ''1901" claims in another group belonging to Messrs Albert Smith, Amer Childers and Edwin Guild, all in the Black Rock district. passed into the hands of John Llewellvn, the agreed price being S20,0O0 for the two groups, Sl.0O0 being paid in cash, and the balance to be paid in stipulated amounts. These mines are said to show up splendidly and with proper development, which it is proposed to give them, will no doubt prove to be first class properties.
 Mir. Gobin, of Crown King, has mine near that place which is show ing up wonderfully with develop ment. He has named this mine the Wire Gold claim because of the wire gold found in the ore. From parties who have recently seen the ore being taken from the 100 foot tunnel it is learned that the orc is remarkably rich. showing a great deal of wire gold, some of which are four or five inches long and as large as a alarming needle. The specimens spoken of were pronounced to be the finest that had been seen in that section for many moon.
 Reports from Tombstone are very encouraging, and the Prospector says work on the new combination shaft on the hill is moving along, but prepara- tions are being made for pushing work as fast as possible later, the de lay at present being due to waiting for perfection of the hoisting machin- cry and readiness of same for opera ton. Quite a number of men are at work on the machinery and gallOws frame, etc. The big new shaft Is down some twenty feet and timbers set. Two windlasses are kept busy. but when the hoist is ready and frames in position three shifts of min CTS will crowd work. It is thought next week will find everything in readiness to push the biggest shaft in the territory to water level as fast as muscle and machinery can accomplish it.
 Ralph S. Baverstock, assayer of this city, has just returned from a trip through the Prescott and Wick enburg districts in Arizona. Among other interesting specimens on view at his office in the Currier building, is huge piece of ore from the Gro Grande's new strike northeast of The shaft is down 125 feet and the owners will now crosscut the vein, which on the surface is known to be 100 feet wide. Should the values on the surface hold good below (said to be S15 per toni a forty stamp mill will be at once installed. L. A. Times.
 The mill at the famous old Tiger mine, in the Bradshaws, has been to close down for a few weeks on account of a breakdown in he boiler. The boiler, which is an )ld one, collapsed and repairs have been sent for to put it in shape, when he mill will be started up again. It | s understood that the results at the Tiger have been very satisfactory of ate.
 Ed. Metcalf has returned from a | rip to Bradshaw Basin, where he ac- a party of mining men to i ,xamine property in which he is inter i .sted. They were much pleased with | he prospects of the camp. A great . mount of work is being done in the -icinity of the Crown King, and sev- .ral big sales are on the point of being onsummated.-Gazette.
