 MINING
 NOTES,

3 (gulte good sized body Of ore Wa:
 encountered in the drift at the 50(
 foot level of the Great Belcher mine on Friday night. The whole face oi the drift is in ore. The ore oody is 3 about eighty feet from the shaft. The McCabe Extension company } has six men at work. They expect tc , increase the number soon and hope
 to be able to put up hoist on the
 property before long. The stock still continues to be in demand among our own citizens.
 The Verde Queen people at Jerome have their shaft down now about 435
 feet and the ground is changing so
 that it has all indications favorable to the approaching to a body of ore. } The ground is now what the miners call picking ground" blasting not being necessary.
 Eastern parties are making an ex- animation of F. X. O'Brien's mining properties on the lower Hassayampa. The ledge is very large one, but the ore is low grade. With an eighty or one hundred stamp mill it is said it could be made to pay big profits, and there is enough ore opened up to keep such mill running for long time.
 J. W. Akers, Joseph Philips and O. Parton, have givena bond and lease on their Centipede mine in the Hassay- ampa district to Boltz & Thorne who have placed two men at work devel- oping it. The claim has produced very rich ore on the surface several thousand dollars having been taken from it. It runs from S40.O0 to 5000 per ton in gold and as high as 600 ounces in silver.
 The Jerome Reporter reports that the Verde Chief company struck cop per ore one month ago in tunnel. Since that time the tunnel has been driven in the same. They are now in $50 feet and are preparing to cross cut and strike the ledge at depth of 400 feet. The property is the one under the management of D. N. Bar tholdi.
 The most important silver discovery near Chloride in recent years is one just made by Fred Mitchell on his claim about one mile southeast of that town. The shaft in which that re- markedly rich body of horn and chlorides of silver was found is down about fifty five feet, and the ore body is more than fourteen inches wide. No assays of the ore have been made, as it is so rich that it is useless to put it to this test. All the open ground adjacent to the new strike has been hurriedly located and work begun on the new claims, which has resulted in great activity in the new camp.
 N. A. Douglass, of the Arizona Giant Copper company, whose exten- sive operations near Ehrenburg have received favorable mention in these columns on several occasions, this l week filed a deed from Thomas W. | Hamilton and Mrs Laura A. Pendell | to himself for the Golden Giant and | Sultan mines. The consideration 1 named was S2,500. The Golden | Giant mines are situated about eight | miles east of Ehrenburg, and are con tigious to one of the three groups al | ready owned by the Arizona Giant | Copper company. They lie in rich | and exceedingly promising section, and have had sufficient work done on them to demonstrate their value Yuma Sun.
 Another strike believed to be great one, has lately been made 1000 feet l north of the Gro Grande mine, Black l Rock district on property owned by Sam Powell, c. B. Case and William Soloman, agent of the s. F., P. & P. | R. R. at Wickenburg. The extent of the ore body is as indeterminate as that of the Gro Grande. The ore is of much the same character. As says range from S43 to S25O. The latter values are found in pockets which occur as they occur in the Gro Grande with great frequency.
 James Shumaker, who has been ex plotting copper claim, adjoining the Try claim on the borders of Kelvin, has made an important strike He started shaft on a stringer of ore about fourteen inches wide. The shaft has reached a depth of 100 feet and the bottom of it is all in high grade ore, rich in both copper and silver. It is a shipping proposition but the owner proposes to leave the ore on the dump for the present and continue sinking.-Florence Blade.
 F. A. Davis, on behalf of H. B. Cliff ford has commenced the collection of ore for the Pan American exposition at Buffalo. He received today sev- eral hundred pounds of samples from the McCabe, Great Belcher, Rebel and other mines in that section. He has secured the use of Barthel 6S Stocks 'windowin the Lawler block for temporary exhibition of the ore until he can get enough together for ship ment. He wants to get ten tons or more in all and parties owning min ing claims cannot get any better method of advertising their claims than by sending samples to Mir. Davis as Mir. Clifford will have it displayed ' de tHC DuudlO CApOcitlOn tO the DtSl possible advantage.
 A Mexican in the employ of the Philadelphia Mining company at Dos Cabezas discovered some ore crop pings about one quarter mile south of town on ground that has been gone over by prospectors for the last twen- ty years. A shaft being sunk on it unearthed an ore body on it about fifty inches wide and widening as they go down. The ore is rich, assaying as high as 200 ounces in silver and some gold. A recent assay of the average value from samples taken across the whole vein ran about $50 per ton ill silver and 15 in gold. The strike has caused considerable com ment and old timers are somewhat chagrined at this ore body having ex- isted under their very feet for these many years without being discovered. Range News.
