Mining Intelligence.

A. c. Gilmore today received box
 of ore from the group of mines known
 as the Printers Syndicate mines,
 owned by Messrs. Gilmore, O'Grady,
 Barrow and Latin, located a few
 weeks ago in the White Tank noun
 tains, near the famous Vulture mine.
 The ore certainly looks well, for sur
 face ore, being gold and copper, and
 assaying between $50 and $50 to the
 ton. There is also quite a deposit of
 asbestos on one of the claims, the as
 bestos being of very long fibre and of
 good quality. The boys have been
 offered a good figure already for one of their claims, but have refused the offer. They contemplate incorpora-
 ting and selling enough treasury stock to put in the necessary machinery to develop and work the mines. All the owners being members of the craft, the JOurnal-Miner wishes them the greatest success.
 Last year the whole Yukon country, inclusive of the Klondyke, produced S22,0O0,00O in gold. No other metals were produced, therefore this repre- sents the total mineral output of that country. In the production of this vast amount of wealth 10000 people were employed. Last year were em- ployed in mining in the territory of Arizona not to exceed 12,000 men, and the mineral output amounted to ovel S30,000,0O0. Thus it will be seen that Arizona Is far the richer country of the two. Without the boom which the Yukon country has had Arizona every day produces far more mineral, and even exceeds the output of the great state of Califor- mia. Within ten years Arizona will be the greatest gold, copper, and sil- yer producing section in the United States. It is now third in the list of mineral producing states, being ex- ceeded by Colorado and Montana Mohaye Miner.
 George Upton and G. E. Lamb, of Coronado, California, came up from Wickenburg on this mornings train. Mir. Lamb is one of the owners of the Gro Grande Mining company's prop critics near Wickenburg, and has been in that section looking over the mines. Mir. Upton had his pockets full of of ore taken from the mine which did the eyes good to look upon. They were simply mass of gold and quartz, some of them assaying up into the thousands of dollars. Of course these were picked samples but he showed the Journal-Miner man a long list of assay reports ranging from S7 to S1S4 from samples taken at random from the ledge which crops out nearly 100 feet across. Mir. Upton says they have the prospects of the biggest mine in the territory, and in this assertion has been backed by the opinion of several expert mining men.
 Wednesday afternoon. while return ing from Crown King, the writer stop ped at the War Eagle mine, owned by | E. B. Gage and Lester Jackson, and l made little tour of inspection of the | property. The shaft is down 2S0 feet, i n ore all the way. The vein varies | from 16 inches to 3 feet, and carries gold to the value of about S30 to the | .on. In the north and south drifts, | which were run in on the vein, each l way from the shaft, there is from IS . nches to 3 feet of the same grade of | ore. On the dump is about 75 tons )f ore. It is the intention of Messrs iage & Jackson to sink down 800 feet urther before putting up any kind of eduction works. A hoist engine will 'Oon be placed on the shaft and work ,f sinking begun in earnest.-Jerome Reporter.
