 A EinGmau, Ariz., correspondent Of the New York Commercial says Superintendent Jcnninx of the Grand Gulch mines reports that from Nove m- bcr, lN99, to date there has been ship ped to the shelter I .0GO tons of ore the average of which wa, II per cent. cop per, ; ounces silver and Sl gold. For this ore nearly Sl00,0O0 was received from the shelter. The wagon haul from the mine to tho railroad is lS0 miles for which haulagC S23 per ton is paid. Railroad freight amounts tO S6 per ton, d total haulaSc charge oi S29. The smcltcrs make low treatment charge on account Of the desirable quality of the ore, but nevertheless the cost ot marketing the ore is en- tirely too high. No railroad now building will reach any nearer to the property. About 10 miles east of the Grand Gulch mines, are the mines of the Cocouiuo Copper company, which iS just now operating teaching plant with great success. The ore of this company ie equally as rich as that Of the Grand Gulch, but the haul i> still greater to the railroad. All the ores are Of an oxide and carbonate nature and are easily leached or Smelted on the ground. The veins are all large, hut being in a sandstone formation are somewhat irregular in dip.
