| The separation of lead, iron and zinc
 was all that could be desired. The
 company will at once start up for an
 extended run. It has thousands of
 tons of dump ores to run on and as
 soon as the mine is unwatered to the | l50 level there can be taken out a
 much better grade of ore. Under
 present conditions the company is in
 fair way to make one of the greatest mining successes of the year on this
 mine, says the Mohave County Miner
 A correspondent of the Range News
 says; The full extent of the gold , strike at Gleason is not yet definitely
 known. The strike was made by par
 ties who are under contract to sink a perpendicular shaft to certain depth. | The ore was struck on one of the side
 walls and no stoping has been done as
 yet. The contractors will continue to
 sink and complete their contract when the owners will commence to drift
 along the ore body to ascertain its dimensions. The formation in the
 bottom of the shaft indicates that they are approaching fine regular and
 permanent ore body of which the ore struck is an offshoot The owners have already been offered s75.000 for their property which they promptly refused
 T. D. Morris of the Headquarters saloon in this city, has bonded his gold
 mines in the Clark district, of which
 he owns a group of nine claims, to Judge c. k. Moorman of Solomon vile, and John Brock, prominent mining man of Fl Paso. The bond
 was given March 9th and by it's terms
 Mir. Morris is to receive S75, 900 for the property, the first payment of slO,0OO to be made in thirty days from the time of the agreement The deferred payments are to be three of Sl5, 900 each at intervals of four months and the final payment in six months there after. Mir. Brock is expected here this week to go out to the mines. All the claims have made good showing of gold rock and well defined veins. The greatest amount of development work has been done on the Gold Chord claim, though great deal of work has been done on some of the other claims, Bulletin.
 Reports to the Los Angeles Mining Review from Jerome, Arlz., are that the majority of companies operating in the Verde district are pushing de- velopment work as rapidly as circum- stances justify. The one prominent exception is the Iron King Equator, one of Senator Clark's properties. Work for the time being has been stopped on that claim for the reason that there has been opened up in it an immense deposit of rich copper ore and it has been decided to postpone further work on it until arrangements can be made for smelting the ore. This is good news for the Black Hills peo- pie, it being further proof that the main ledge goes through the property of the Black Hills Copper company, as it's claims lie in direct line be- tween the United Verde mines aud the Iron King mine, and on the same line of the upper contact. Another report from Jerome states that ore has been struck in the new shaft being sunk on the United Verde.
 In regard to the new gold strike made near Tombstone the ProspectOr of the 18th says: The article on the new El Dorado in our yesterdays issue has been somewhat strengthened today. The surroundings are about all taken and preparations are being made for the sinking of prospect holes all over that part of the country. Peo- pie who went from hereabouts have not yet returned so we suppose they are making thorough examination and locations. There is no doubt but that the Turquoise section is very rich in copper, silver and other metals, but it was never surmised that gold existed in anything like such large quantities until few days ago, when the discovery was made. From those | concerned and others it is estimated that the whole story has not yet been told, inasmuch as there has been other discoveries within the | past few weeks which are being kept | very quiet. As to the truth of these | we cannot say; we only know of the ore and its examination yesterday ! which we saw.
 The American Metal Market of New York, usually well informed on copper prints the following in con- nection with the advance in prices of | A Amalgamated and Anaconda copper stocks; What seems to be certain is | that the feuds wtich have been demor- | alizlng the copper trade situation in | the west are now practically ended. ] Indeed, 1t can be stated upon high au- thority that Standard Oil capitalists l have finally been able to bring about |
