THE PILGRIM DISTRICT
Dempsey and O'Dea Property One
 Mine Passed by the Knockers.

Work on the three new shafts at Pill take from three to four months to com- plete, says the Chloride Arrow. Messrs. Dempsey & O'Dea are grading for a road to the mine. a few hundred yards from the camp. in order to get timber and needed material on the ground. This work is almost completed. A num- Der of miners aud Gihers visited the dis trict this week, some from idle curi- osity and others seeking employment. There will only be about twentyfive men employed to sink these Shafts, but after this is accomplished and the ore holds good, a big force will be put on and the property opened to depth of 1000 feet
 The mines of this camp, or rather the ledge on which they are located, is one of the greatest prospects ever dis covered in the west. There has not been a single visitor to the district but who confirms this statement aSd re- markable part is the fact that the canr has never received a knock
 Now that opera .Sons are in actual progress those ownng ground in the immediate vicinity of this enormous ore deposit will begin working It with |, view to opening up ore bodies along the ledge, which is buried or blind That such a strong vein as the Pill grim should disappear entirely is not likely, and shafts will be sunk and crosscuts run to uncover it on the ex- tensions each way.

UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Three Yavapai Properties Where
 Work Is Rushing.

Superintendent A. J. Pickerell came in from the President mine, one of the Rockefellow group, last evening. He has his shaft down 700 feet and is still sinking. He will soon have the deepest hole in the ground in the country di- rectly tributary to Prescott. He will have the shaft down another hundred feet as soon os he can get it down. There is one shaft on the Mud Hole which is TOO feet deep. MT. Pickereii has started another shaft on the same group of mines
 A very promising prospect is now be- ing developed about mile south ot the Henrietta mine and adjoining the Cy- press group. the latter under bond to G. w. Middleton. The claim is owned by Frank Savoy and at the present time he has the discovery shaft sunk to a depth of T5 feet. A drift was made at 62 feet and in this he has struck bodies of pyrites carrying in size from a five-gallon coal oil can to water

The following items are from the Globe Silver Belt:
 The Arizona Commercial company's mine. the Copper Hill. continues to show Improvement. The shipments of sulphide ore to the Old Dominion smelt- CT have been increased to eight tons per day.
 At the Arizona Colorado company's s mine material has all been delivered. Foundations for the hoist and boiler are being put in and the timbers are being framed for the head frame. Pres. ident and Manager R. M. Force expects to have all the machinery installed within two weeks.
 Richard Fleming. mine superinten- dent of the Black Warrior Copper com pany, was in town on Tuesday. Very little is being done at Black Warrior at present. but about September l the 100- ton blast furnace ordered from the Mine X Smelter Supply company will be delivered, and as soon as it can be in- stalled the company will resume full operations.
 Harry Zschoegner, who is superin- tending the development of the Gladys and Cowboy gold claims, for w. B. DevereauX, of Colorado Springs. Colo.. who has bond on the property was in town on Monday. Three shafts are being sunk which are now 40, 45 and 50 feet deep, respectively, all being in ore carrying moderate values in gold. The lead is strong and we'll defined, and the prospect of developing q paying mine is reasonably good.
 Development work on the Globe Bos- ton copper property, suspended for two weeks on account of the election of new officers, was resumed on Tuesday un- der the direction of Geo. s. Andrus who has been superintendent of the mine Of some time. Recent discoveries of sulphide ores in the north and west crosscuts on the 640-foot level have giv- en the property much greater value, and confidence is now felt that deeper development will open paying mine.
 T. R. Archbold, an expert, represent senting the Tharis Sulphur & Copper G., Ltd. of Glasgow, Scotland, haa been here fer the past ten days, exam ming copper properties. He has been shown many courtesies by local mine operators and is highly pleased with Globe district. The Tharsis is an old and substantial company operating mines in Spain, near the Rio Tinto mines. The production of the Tharsis mines in Spain is gradually failing and their exhaustion is merely matter of time. For this reason the company is desirous of buying new mines, and last yaer purchased the Aamdal mine, in Norway. The company is especially well impressed with Arizona as field for profitable copper mining.

OTHER MOHAVE MINES.

John St. Charles is taking out earth and ore from the Midnight. and devel- oping one of the best mines in the dis trict. What the Midnight needs is a reduction plant on the ground to make it a big paying proposition and it is 8 wonder that some company has not snapped it up long before this.
 It is stated that the Queen Bee mine is getting ore in paying quantities wherever opened. About ten men are working. with George Aitken as fore man.
 Ferguson & Sons are still working on the Redemption. with plenty of good shipping ore in sight.
 At Mineral Park the native copper ore, on the King and Kay mines re- gently discovered, still continues to go down and improve with depth. couple of tons are out on the dump, and more is being added to the pile The shaft where the best ore was found is down about thirty feet, and MT. Kay believes he has found bonanza, which belief is shared by all who have seen the ore.

A GOOD YEARS WORK
of the Tombstone Dis.
 trict Practically Accomplished

The mammoth pumps that were in- stalled and have been forcing the water from the Tombstone mines for some thing over one year have fulfilled the most sanguine expectations of the management. says the Prospector. So successful has been the work of un- watering the mines that during the past two weeks the labor of the pumps has been lessened 400 GOO gallons having been deducted from the daily flow of 2,500,000 gallons. The main shaft is now down 160 feet below the old work ings, when the mines were temporarily abandoneu owing to the fact that the machinery of that day was inadequate to cope with the enormous floods en- countered when the 600- foot level was reached.
 Now that modern machinery has ac- complished that which was deemed an impossibility, a few years ago. the pessimist may rejoice and shout, II told you sol" The feat has been accom- plIs.eu but the. work has not been con- cluded; development has but just be- gun, and on the 70O-foot level work men are now engaged in cutting out station for the installation of q 1000, 900 gallon pump of twenty-four hours, which capacity will be ample to hoist the drainage to the 600-foot reservoir
 nile the work of going down to the 1,000-foot level continues. From this 700-foot level, and as soon as conditions will warrant, drifting will be commence ed and a cross-cut run to intersect a large body of ore that is thought to exist some distance off.

OREGON DIAMONDS.
Precious Gems Being Mined
In Harvey County.

The fuliillmcnt Of the prophecy m ade
30 years ago by Professor Clayton, a
geologst in the employ Of the United
States government, that some day dia-
mond mines would be discovered in
Oregon is at hand.
The mine in IL the Blue Mountain
range 10 miles from Burns, the seat Of
llarncy county. There is no question Of
the quality and quantity Of the precious
gems, but there is u question NJ to their
commercial value. The stones thus far
discovered are generally too small for
the trade. They are no larger than II
small pin head. 4 few have been found
that would sell for from $50 to $500, but
they are rare.
We're diamonds mallcable like gold, il
there was any process known to science,
welded together, then Ilarney would no
longer bc known ~ the "cow county"
and Oregon would rank with the dia-
mond.producing regions Of the earth.
The commercial value Of the diamonds
is now being determined by the great
diamond firm Of New York, Tiffany Il
Company, whose confidence in the new
field is sufficient 10 warrant them in
furnishing the capital for further de-
vclopmcn,. They are cooperating with
the local owners.
The diamonds are found in layers Of
volcanic ash. Geologists and mineral /
opists agree that the formation being the
volcanic ash ot ancient origin, IL the /
sam" M tina, indigenous to South
Africa, where the largest diamond
mines IN the world have been exploited.
This in the formation that Professor
Clayton referred to, when observing the
geological conditions oi Oregon in his
official capacity, 10 years ago. II is said
Ia bc the next to the oldest formation
found on the North American continent,
only that through which the 81.
Lawrence river runs, being older. The
layers thus far mined yield only ex-
trcnrly small stones, but it is expected ,
and hoped tina, other layers will be dis
covered that bear the precious gems Of
commercial Importance.
