Monday from El Paso where he went
recently with trial shipment of ore
from the Goodenough mine. While
all who saw the ore predicted favor
able returns, the result was a pleasant
surprise, even to Mr.. Eichelberger and

Mining Co. lie five miles distant from
the Iron King mine aud six miles from

: A Congress dispatch says; The
Standard Oil Company is especially
active in the Weaver district, in the re-

in the Stanton and Weaver districts,
which are already putting out large
volume of gold, and it is now prospect

expenditures for development The

I holders of the Standard Oil, has passed

: to become the greatest gold producer
of Arizona The mine is located in the
: heart of the Weaver district and about

that the company has developed Its
a holdings far beyond the prospective
point and is calculating to operate 8
