MINING INTELLIGENCE.

]. S. Mcdonnell, foreman of the
Mudhole mine, is in Prescott today
and says the pump which was ordered
by telegraph for the mine some time
ago when the tremendous flow of
water was encountered, arrived at the
mine yesterday and was lowered at
once. He thinks they will be pump
| ing with it some time tomorrow. The
pump has a capacity of almost 300, 600
gallons every twenty four hours, and
this together with the dipper which
will also be started up with the pump,
will give them a capacity of nearly
sou, 600 gallons of water per day, and
they figure on emptying the mine in
about ten days, when work will again
begin in the mine. The new pump is
one that can be extended down the
shaft as fast as the shaft is sunk, or
1t is fully expected that when the
mine has once been emptied the new
pump will be able TO keep it cleared
without any further trouble.
Superintendent Blanchard is in
from the Iron King group of mines to-
day and informed the Journal Miner
that every foot of work done on the
mines was greatly increasing their
values. The black sulphide ore which
was opened up at the 200 foot level
some two months ago, has been cross
cut to distance of 60 feet and the
hanging wall has not yet been reach
ed. This ore will average about $50 to
the ton.
E. S. Fuller, the we'll known min
ing man, has returned from a visit to
the Tonapah district in Nevada. He
says the district is all right and is
making a wonderful growth. The de-
velopment work in Tonapah district
proper is going ahead with wonderful
strides and splendid results, while
mnay of the surrounding camps are
coming to the front in good shape as
we'll. The character of the improve
ments at Tonapah are of substantial
nature, showing the confidence that
the people of the place have in the
future of the camp.
NJ r. Parker was in Prescott yes
terday from his mining property in
Eugene gulch and showed a Journal
Miner man some ore that had just
been taken out of the shaft on the
Jefferson claim of the Alto group.
The ore comes from depth of DO feet
and is changing to sulphides within
the last 20 feet and increasing in cop
per values. The ore now carries
about $40 values in gold, about four
ounces in silver and the copper,
which, as above stated has only lately
begun to come in, is increasing in
value until it promises to add very
greatly to the values of the ore. The !
ledge is about nine feet across and the |
walls are we'll defined and increasing 1
in width with every foot the shaft is
sunk. The ore vein is now about |
gives the finest evidence of perman-
ency and increasing in size and value.
The new machinery which was started
up few weeks ago is working SPLEEN
didly and three shifts of men are
pushing the work as fast as it can be
done. A survey of the claims in the
Alto group has just been made for the
purpose of having the mines patented.
Mr.. Parker has shown his faith in the
by purchasing one of the
adjoining claims and half interest
IN five others on the same ledge for
which he paid VIM. Baird, yesterday,
5000 in cash.
Merchant Ed Block returned yester-
lay from a visit to the Merchants
Mining company's property and says
hat things are running very smoothly I
here. A little grading remains to be
lone on the railroad spur to the mine
md just as soon as this is completed
nd the track laid, they will COM
hence shipping ore and then a regu-
ar income may be expected from it.
While the mine is all that could be \
lesired the company is in splendid Z
financial condition.
