General Whining news

q. W. Hull has made an i'm portaut
strike in his claims adjoining the
United Verde mines. An ore body
ht, been struck in the south drift of
the 1893 mine, about sixty feet from
the shaft. While the face of the drift
is not all ore, the ore body is widening
a. drifting progresses, aud Mr. Hull re-
ports there is every indication to en-
courage the hope that large ore body
will be encountered in few feet. On
the same night that ore was struck in
the above drift the shift in the north
west drift from the main shaft ran into
a quartz vein which carries copper.
Tl5 shaft of the 1888 min is within
very few feet of the line dividing the
claim from that of the United Verde
mine, and within stones throw of
the main shaft of the United Verde
r1perty.-J ournal- Miner.
The Mammoth stamps will be hung
40 next week and remain idle till the
level connecting the Collins mine with
the Mammoth working shaft can be
opened, The new air compressor to
operate the drills TO be used in this
work is still on the road but is eX-
pected to arrive 5000. There we're sew
eTal thousand tons of ore in the chutes
in the old workings of the Mammoth,
ready to be hoisted, when the cave in
occurred and this cannot be reached
at present. 1t was calculated that this
ore would keep the mill running till
the connection with the Collins mine
could be made There is still ore in
the south slopes of the old Mammoth,
but the cave in destroyed the air
shafts aud work cannot be prosecuted
satisfactorily in these slopes on ac
count of the heat. 1t is not expected
that the mill will remain idle over two
months.-Arizona Blade.

These gentlemen are here for the pur-
for the purchase of the Mallory group
II mines, aud it is their intention TO
Immediately commence work on the
claims. They propose sinking 300
foot triple mpartment shaft on the
|. X. l.. claim for the development of
the seven adjoining claims, and the
work will be let by contract to the best
bidder. On the remaining seven claims
leases will be given if possible, and if
not, the work will be done by the com
pany itself. They will be in town I'M
til Saturday. The Mallory group COM
prises fifteen claims aud are situated
from two to five miles north of Globe,
ol the north side of the gulch opposite
70 aud running parallel with the Nc
Coy group of mines. The claims have
been in the possession of VIM. Mallory
for many years, aud considering the
small amount of development work
done on them, have produced consid-
cradle high grade ore. The Mallory
mines have been considered by experts
to possess considerable merit, and
their development will be watched
with good deal of interest. The sit
ua'ion OF the group and the confgura-
lion of the ground makes it an ideal
proposition for development and the
location and operation of a plant
Silver Belt.
Stafford is anticipating considerable
Increase of business as the result Of
active mining operations in the Lone
Star district. The ella Valley Mining
company has been organized in New

aud on which Mr.. Greenough has al
ready had considerable development
work done Dore Harris, late of Globe,
Is foreman and has force of fifteen
men under him. A numb Der of build
