 Company Pushing Work.

Civil Engineer J. J. Fisher. MT. Dra- Fer and Ben Blanchard came in from the Bill Williams Fork section yestcr- day. vhtre MT. Fisher has been doing
 some surveying. says tne Prescott Courier. Mir. Blanchard brought in 1 from the Gold Rope mine a chunk of ! ore about as big as Missouri corn field pumpkin. that is a rare specimen
 of mineral richness and beauty. It is l a part and parcel of i've carloads of 1 the same character Of ore, taken from | a cut with twelve-foot face. Tn the 1 Gold Rope mine one of a group being l operated by. the National Gold and 1 Copper company. composed of twenty l Kansas City millionaires. The ore car
 ries II per cent copper and twelve ! ounces silver and from SIP to s22 per
 ton in gold. The specimen referred to | can be seen at the Prescott hotel. The Pyramid Gold and Copper Min l ing company, which owns a group of ] claims adjoining the Copper Basin Gold | and Copper Mining company's prop | erty, are making satisfactory progress ! in the development of this property, says tte Journai-Miner. They are | sinking two shafts on different claims. ! one being on the Annabeil claim and | the other on a claim located on the U. | s. ledge. These shafts are down sew l eral feet and good ore has been en- 1 countered ia both or them. The Pyra- ] mid gives promise O. oecomiuS q | friendly rival of the Copper Basin com pany when development has progressed | to a greater stage and no company or 1 mine Tn this section makes better | showing vith the amount of develop ment worI, done, than those owned by [ these two companies, with all the indi- 1 cations which miners and mining e-- | perts judge from. in the way of foriua-
 ton as well as the showings so far Ge- ] veloped. for big profit paying proper 1 ties. Every miner who visits that sec ton and makes an examination of . work already done together with sur 1 face indications. comes away highly ! impressed with the possibilities or these ] properties.
