 nal-Miner.-We see so little news here in the papers of the Bradshaw mountains or more widely known as the Crowned King, if it will not in trude too much on your generosity will give you some items in this vicin- ity. I will say that the Journal Miner has always had a good word for the Bradshaws. In the first place there is great mineral zone five miles long running north and south, here. The old Gro Bella mill and mines areat the south end of the belt. The most promising mine in that group is the Gray Eagle, now under bond to Rube Harrington, a well de- fined Assure vein carrying gold. Mir. Harrington has been shipping his first class ore which runs $250 per ton. The second class is packed to the Tiger mill and concentrating about three tons into one. He is re- pairing the old Gro Bella mill so he can work the ore on the ground. The old company suspended work years ago because they could not make it pay. I cannot understand how a company abandoned work on such a fine property. It shows mismanage- ment some way.
 On the same vein one mile north is the Eclipse, better known as the Luke mines. Although on the same vein as the Gray Eagle, the values are mostly silver. It was worked in former days by Luke x Co. They shipped their ore to the Fl Paso shelter. That is one of the great issure veins of the Bradshaws, in a schist formation, although it is close to the granite on the east. Between the two formations the contact is granite, field spar and mica, in fact the mica in places lays in large sheets and will pay to ship when railroad IS here.
 About one mile west of the Eclipse mine is the well known Tiger mine in granite formation, worked extensively | D early days for silver. As nearly | Is We can trace the vein, the Tiger, he Gladiator and War Eagle are on he same mineral dyke, although they ;arry gold in diorite formation. The Gladiator is equipped with a ten itamp mill, being worked by leasers. \ new company has taken hold of he property and is going to develop [ thoroughly. 4 half mile east of he War Eagle is the Lincoln com oany working small force of men. n that locality is the Hill group of hines and others. One half mile vest of the War Eagle is the famous Jrowned King mine, worked exten- lvely until two years ago, when it losed down under litigation. The of resuming work soon is .ood. It is in schist formation .lthoGgh at the mouth of he tunnel the granite sets in. The wo formations butt up against one but it is such strong Assure ein it cuts its way through all for although when it turns into he granite the character of the min ral changes, where it carries copper nd more silver. MT. Place & Co. ave adjoining claims south. The Jnion Mining company have bought from Luke Brothers on the ;rown King belt south. They have en men working now and are making for putting on a larger orce. They have very promising roperty, the ore carrying gold, silver nd copper. East of them MT. Moss as a fine prospect, apparently, on he Tiger Vein adjoining the Union on the west side. MT. has a group of six claims l the heart of the copper belt on the 'rown King vein. The Assure is as trong as the King and it carries old, silver and copper. There is peculiar about this copper |, cit. There are manifestations whatever [ copper on the surface, but in l faces where Mir. Dougherty has gone own to water or base ore, it carries
 ! rom four to six per cent copper sul- hide and gray copper, besides the old and silver are about the same | alue as the copper. No doubt the Opper will increase as depth is at lined, but he is like other prospec- DTS, he has not the means to develop { he property but is waiting for capital l come along and take a hold. ( The ores here are all concentrating ropositions and will go from three to1 l sn tons into one. As it will take up DO much space to describe the whole istrict I will continue next week. ut say the blackmailer and bunco teerer had better dig up quick or 1; 1ey will not get cheap properties. ( he Bradshaws will boom soon. (
