 Governor Powers went to Kirk
 land last night to superintend the plac
 ing of a complete hOisting plant
 which he recently purchased iron
 Geo. Wood and which has been used on the Red Rock mine, on the Mode
 mine. The plant consists of a boiler
 hoist, engine pump and buildings
 While there Governor Powers will also let contract for doing addi
 tional work on the Model mine.
 The Journal Miner had occasion to refer to the operation of the Gold and Copper Development company under the superintendency of A. J. Pickrell, and referred to the fact that Mir. Pick rell had car load of ore in Prescott awaiting shipment. He has just re- ceived his returns from this shipment of ore with the following results: gold, 1.S4 ounces per ton; silver, 40 ounces; copper, 5.4 per cent, or net value, after paying freight and treatment charges of nearly S55O0 per ton. Mir. Pickrell is taking out more ore which he will ship soon and he he says he expects even better re- turns on this than from the shipment referred to above. The company, since it's organization and pur- chase of the above property has been able to more than pay all expenses of development worf done, by the ship ment of ore taken out from the de- velopment work alone, without doing any stoping.
 VIII. Bates and wife have deeded the Plomosa Land and Water com pany thirty two placer claims on Bill Williams Fork, and the company has filed with the county recorder dam site and water right at the mouth of Striped canyon, and appropriated all the water flowing in said stream which the dam will store for mining and agricultural purposes. It is also the company's intention to establish and maintain a reservoir east of and adjacent to the dam. They propose to construct stone dam 125 feet high at point at the mouth of the canyon few hundred feet below where the valley opens into broad, flat basin, and is the first narrow gorge on Bill Williams Fork, and will build canals from said reservoir to what is known as Tyson's wells and the country ad- jacent thereto in Yuma county.-Our Mineral Wealth.
 Geo B. Upton, who has been engag- ed in mining for several years in the vicinity of Stanton, has recently loca ted a claim which he thinks Is bO- nanza, about four and a half miles north of Wickenburg. Associated with him in the new find isl G. E. Lamb, of Clinton, Iowa and Ben O. Hatfield, of Posey, Montana. They are working two shifts in developing theclaim and have already run a cross cut forty feet, at depth of sixty feet from the surface and are in high grade ore all the way and no signs of wall yet. The dyke crops out on the surface from 60 to 100 feet in width. In addition to the regular high grade ore taken out right along they have found some exceptionally rich producing as fine specimens as can be found any where in any coun try. They propose to continue sink ing to a depth of 200 feet, and will run cross cuts and drifts at depth of 100 feet to determine the width of the vein and the extent of the ore body.
 Geo. T. Miner and Geo. Smyers located claim, about Christmas, in Walnut Grove district, in the vicinity of the Zonia mine, which they think gives promise of developing into a good paying property. Within radius of a mile square where the claim is located there has been large amount of rich ore taken out during the past year. The claim of 1lessrs. Milner and Smyers has been named the 9Malpais. It is a contact vein be- tween malpais and schist. The ledge is four feet wide, carrying ore its en- tire width, two feet of it being rich ore that will mill, it is thought, at least S700O per ton. Mr. Milner says it has the most regular and well de- fined walls of any claim he has seen in this section-of Arizona. The ledge widens out gradually with depth, and if it continues to do so, it cannot help developing into good property. They have sunk 70 feet on it since locating it and have taken out from 50 to 70 tons of the high grade milling ore, and at present are taking out three tons per day. As soon as they get 100 tons and the roads become in eondi tion for hauling it they propose taking it to Placeritas to be worked in mill | there.
 Capt. J. w. Lind, one of the old veteran miners of Kirkland valley, and T. J. Neiman, of the Copper creek sec tion, are in town today on business connected with their extensive mining interests in the Eureka mining dis trict. They report the mining inter ests in that section of the county looking splendid and everybody cheer ful and anticipating an unprecedented activity during the coming spring and summer. Several of the best mines in that section are being worked under large bond, while number more are about ready to begin work on a lsrge scale. Capt. Lind has worked long and hard and pinned his faith to that section and now has things coming his way in good shape. He has inter ests in several mines that have lately been bonded for S50,0OO, and has one of his own bonded for Sl0,0OO, while few weeks ago he sold mine on which very little development work had been done, but which gives good promise of being a good mine, for S2,5OO spot cash, so he certainly has right to feel jubilant. These gentle men left some splendid looking ore taken from their mines, some of it assaying up in thousands of dollars. All signs indicate that the Eureka district will soon attract wide notice for her rich mineral deposits.
 A. E. Rosenthal, an enterprising and bright young man from Chicago, representing Palmer & Moody, lessees of the Sundance Mining eompany's property at the head of the Hassay ampa arrived in Prescott a few days since to take charge of that property Mir. Rosenthal says it is the intention of the lessees to work the property for all it is worth. They have album dant means to making any needed i'm
