high as so per cent copper and high in

Ophir. They have given CO.. Harris an

Capt. J. w. Lind came up this morn
ing from Hillside on mining business.
He reports everything looking very en-
couraging for his section Of the country
in mining matters. A company OF Dem
yer capitalists have just taken hold OF a
group Of mines owned by Messrs. Red.
kins, Savage & Anderson, on Copper
creek, and have put several men to work
and will add quite number more to the
working force at once. The company is
not only going to push development
work on the mines, but is arranging to
build a. wagon road through the Copper
creek and Boulder creek sections to their
properties. This win be great advan-
tage to quite large number of miners
in that section. This part of the eoun-
try is going to be heard from In good
shape in the near future, as there are no
doubt rich mineral deposits there which
only need capital and labor to bring out.

Edward NJ. Clark, the New Heaven
capitalist, left this morning for Groom
creek, accompanied by Judge J. ]. Haw-
kins, to look over the Chicago group OF
mines, which is owned by MIR. Clark
The mines were among the earliest
located in that section and that surface
produced lots Of rich ore. MIR. Clark
opened them up to some depth and
built a mill and worked the ore from
the mines until his interests in the east
became 90 extensive that he could not
after these mines and they have been
permitted TO lie idle ever since. When
he quit work he had FIVE feet of good
ore in the lower levels OF the develop
ment and the ore taken from it plated
$i0.O per ton. Like other mines in
that section. the claims comprising the
Chicago group have produced wonder
fully rich ore on the surface. some of
the richest ore in the district having
been found in them. Like the others
also, there is reason TO- believe that the
ore extends down and that when the
mines are worked history of that dis
trict will repeat itself and that the deep
or they go the richer the ore may be ex.
pected. It is the intention OF Mr.. Clark
to resume work on his property bv
either cleaning out and retimbering his
old shaft or by sinking new one to con-
meet with the drift OF the old workings.

One OF the best bodies Of gold ORE
judging from the present outlook-eyer
in the Bradshaw mountains was made
about three weeks ago in the Lincoln
mine. This property is situated about
40 miles south of Prescott, in the vi
cinity of the Crowned King and Glad
iator. The stike referred to was made
in tunnel run into the mountains intl Q
Quien Sabe claim, one OF the best in the
group. At 80 feet body OF gold quartz
was struck, four feet in width and as fine
looking ore as person would like 10
see.. Free gold can be seen shining in
many pieces of rock as they are taken
from the tunnel. Some of the miners
working for the company have worked
in all the big mines in the Bradshaw
and say the strike Is the best one they
have ever seen in that well known dis
trict ANY OF the ore from the four foot
ledge horns go well that the parties in
terested are certain that they have one
of the biggest and best bodies of gold
ore in that district. The property was
considered very rich mine before the
last strike was made, and now the group
could not be purchased from the COM
pany for S2s0. 900. A car load OF ma.
chinery is nov at Mayer, awaiting ship
ment by teams to the mines.-Prescott
