The Dartmouth

AS is evident in so many cases
these days in the vicinity of the
Crowned King, the spirit of doing
something has seized combination CT
people and the incorporation of the
Dartmouth Mining company has neces-
sarily followed. This company are
now at work, and all preliminary mat
tiers looking forward to the practical
and general opening up of their ground
have been decided on. They have a
group of four claims, that have been
surveyed for patent. new steam hoist
Is on the way, and the affairs general
ly of the new company indicate an era
of progressive life for the future that
justifies the prediction that success
will result. A shaft AXIS in the clear is
being sunk south of the Dartmouth
claim and 200 feet south OF the north
end Of the group, while tunnel
through the mountain 500 feet long will
tap the vein TO a depth OF 200 feet, and
come within a few feet of the Crowned
King mill. Assays from the surface Of
these mines are decidedly encouraging,
running from 81 to SAG in free gold,
but this feature of the ore is changing
and a sulphide is coming in as is uni
versally the case i'm deeper mining in
that section. The tunnel shows a A.
foot vein of ore and in the shaft 8
feet are shown. The claims of the
Dartmouth people lie in the same fis-
sure as the Blue Bird. and when the
railroad reaches the King they will be
within one-Ealf mile CT the same, be-
ing in fact the nearest mine to the
road in the Bradshaw basin. The or
ganization of this company is UNIQUE
in its makeup, and with few exceptions
is composed of gentlemen who are
graduates of that famous institution of
for which the mine is named In
other words from New Hamshire they
have drifted to the extreme southwest
ern corner of the republic an extreme
proposition in itself from a geographi-
cal standpoint. The ground is rated
high by experts. 1t is a cooperative
enterprise, and until opened up no sal
aries will be paid any of its officers.

this tunnel. At another point new
shaft 100 feet deep is shown, with a

work continues also in the old tunnel.
The vein runs from two to three feet
carrying a lead and iron sulphide. The
old shaft in the tunnel is also being

with improvements given by the pres

that the little camp for the first time
in it's history shows that 1t is to be
regarded as a permanent one and

The Eclipse

One of the first mineral discoveries
of any Importance made in the Brad
shaw mountains to the south of the
Basin. was that of the Eclipse. 1t is
also the first location made on that
belt which is becoming so facorably
known today, from the fact of the
Gray Eagle on the south and the Blue
Bird on the north proving to be good
properties. The location was made in
1871, and while there never has been
any extensive development work per-
formed, the vein is. however, opened
up at many points TO support the be-
lief that if a I one point on the north
of TIE fissure as well as on the south
rich ore is found, why should not the
central location be Just as good under
the same mineral conditions prevailing
in surface indications. This is the
theory of the Eclipse people, and we
believe their representations are per-
fectly tenable. There is one fact in
connection with the Eclipse and all
ground both to the north and south OF
it, not a foot is open to location. and
in addition the entire area is covered
with patents, with few exceptions.
This ground shows with the work done
a tremendous vein in width, going
from to II feet. and to depth of so
feet it is free, sampling from $40 to
SIS per ton. At the bottom of a 50-fcot
shaft the indications pointed to a sui
phide ore, this feature universally fol-
lowing depth at other points on the
fissure. Silver values also leave the
lore on this ground as well as on others.
On this group there are three patented
claims, while to the north and running
to the Crowned King mill there are
four other locations, the Luke property
yielding over 800 600 in the past. Gill
more and Bradbury own the remaining
ground and these locations close on the
north the fissure as il runs into the
Bradshaw Basin. Considering all
things that are prevailing with deeper
methods of mining and the results that
are being given from mines at other
points on this assure, the Eclipse
should prove equally as good and par
ticularly so when capital is directed
to it. These locations are owned by
Daugherty & Sheckles.

Mining in the Bradshaws

handled is estimated in tonnage to run
as high as $4,000 With the exception
of the battery the old mill has been
entirely torn down. and some of the
most complicated and unique machin-
cry ever brought to Arizona has been
introduced. The failing pit lies along
side of the mill and the product will
be treated by what is commonly known
as magnetic separation, and conceptra-
ton, the capacity being 100 tons a day.
Some idea of the handling and treat
ing of this ground may be had by the
following brief statement: From the
pit the tailiLgs are taken by convey
ors up to the ore bin of 100-ton capa-
city. thence to a roaster, from whence
they reach a cooler; then by conveyors
they are deposited into row of six
bins that feed into six magnetic sepa-
where the iron is extracted.
Then the iron is conveyed to the iron
concentrate bin, then over the Pierce
amalgamators to the hydraulic sizers.
The coarser part of the tailings is then
taken to the Whitley tables for treat
ment. The shines are discharged in
tank and run into vanners. The lead,
zinc and other metals independent of
the gold will be handled by the Will
fey and vanner processes, and the tall
ings then cyanided. The process is
said to be the most complicated yet to
be introduced, and some idea of the
amount of machinery necessary may
be had by stating that over nine car
loads are on the ground, and the work
of placing the plant in operation has
been going on since last April. The
company it is said contemplate the in

The Tiger Mine

1t will be interesting to all old timers
to learn that this mine is to be again
operated. and in fact the work of
retimbering and otherwise placing it in
shape is going ahead. A force of eight
men are at work. and the company
that are handling the Crowned King
mine and who are also handling the
tailings at the mill below, are the in
terested ones. The Tiger has many
supporters of the belief that II will yet
come to the front, and If there is any
thing in practical management and the
disposition of money, this will be ac-
complished. 1t is one of the oldest
worked mines to any extent in Yavapai
county, and has gone through many
hands. yielding at times proftably.
Considerable interest is being shown in
the work going on today, and the out
come 1t is expected under the present
management is to be weighed with

The Lincoln

Under the title of the Lincoln Gold
Mining and Milling company, this en-
terprise has been steadily in operation
for over three years. 1t is situated
south of and adjoining the Blue Bird,
comprising a group of nine claims.
seven Of which are patented. The work
so far done on them is surface in
depth, and from the immense amount
of ore extracted together with the high
values given in free milling. there is
q general belief that the claims are to
be rated as good ground, and particu-
larly so when more extensively opened.
1t has been some months since the mill
en- this property was operated, but
when ii was the values on the plates
were more than satisfactory, in fact ii
is said s35 per ton was the average.
This property is at present undergoing
a change in its features of develop
ment, and a tunnel is now being run
from the north side to connect with
the tunnel on the south. which when
completed will give a system of de-
velopment in this respect over 5000 feet
in length. and reach a depth of about
400 feet on the vein. 1t is equipped
with a fine mill. and the Introduction
of concentrating machinery is contem-
Mated to handle the sulphide ores.
There is no reason to doubt but that
this property will be handsomely typi-
cal of the mining industry of the
Bradshaw region when IL is opened on
the plans that are now being carried
out. Charles ]. George of Los Angeles

tablished nevertheless that deep min
ing in Arizona was encouraged and
where it was given under practical
management the results shown are
universally in approval of that meth
cd. But in the case of the King and
its suspension for so many years, the
lack of ore was not the season for its
abandonment, but may be attributed
to an abundance of litigation, the
merits of which are best known to
those interested. Any way the mine
was tied up and now it seems to be
at last united. The work that is now
going on on that property is but the
initial of what must ultimately be
weighed and considered as of very
much Importance TO the mine itself as
we'll as to the industry generally of
that section. Since last June the work
of retimbering the main working shaft
that is down 625 feet from the tunnel
and the retimbering also CT the tunnel
that is in $500 feet, has been going on
and is now finished. The mine is also
being overhauled and repaired, roads
rebuilt and the surroundings gener-
ally regenerated, preparatory to what
Is said to be a wholesome life of &C
tivity. This is the true situation of
the affairs of this old time mine today,
and considering that it is one of the
best opened properties in Northern
Arizona, has an established record in
production under adverse conditions of
expense that mining ordinarily could
not Withstand. its resumption is but
reflection of the regard the property
enjoys as well is it proper to attach
to its prominence mining generally in

company is now known as the Crowned
King Gold Mines company, of which
George F. Shurtleff is the general
manager, and Charles B. Broan, who
was for over six years the shift boss,

dent. Mr.. Broan was also the foreman
when the fabulous discovery of the
pocket of ore was made in 1899, and
TO his judgment the same is due.

California and Others

Sc far as a general feeling applies to
mining in the Bradshaws there is as
ISOLATED to the California and the Ben
ton the opinion of well informed men
that when opened they. too. will
show up just as favorably as
others are today rated. These two
claims lie on a fissure that is said to
travel from the south to the north
through Bradshaw Basin, and is link
ed to that OF the Crowned King. With
the interested feeling there prevails to-
day among a large class of investors
who are investigating the mineral
fields of that section. these two claims
will in all probability be considered.

the assertion that business this month
will be fair for January. There has been
considerable demand this week for 1900

hands. Holders of Connecticut shade

road again and importers are resorting
to the same aggressive tactics that they
adopted last year. About 200 bales are

prices are being paid for good lots and

NEW YORK, Jan. "a, lSO0.
Business in the leaf market this week
has been better than usual at this time
of the year, but not SO good as was ex-
pected. 1t is we'll known that the great
majority of manufacturers have little or
no leaf on hand, and under the circum-
stances dealers expected the third week
of January to open up rather more ac-
lively than was the case. But there is,
every indication that there will soon be
little apathy in the trade, for inquiries
are numerous and it is only matter of
time when these will end in sales. But
if the transactions during the week were
not up to expectations they were not by
any means to be despised and several
very respectable contracts were closed,
notably in Connecticut, which seemed to
lead the list Sumatra sold somewhat
more slowly than usual, the habit of
buying only as needed having returned
in full force. In Havana, the call was
for old Remedies, but manufacturers
have not yet nerved themselves to IA"
the price importers think the leaf is
worth, and the latter therefore showed
no great eagerness to part with their
holdings, which they are confident will
command better figures as the prospects
of the new crop become known. Shade
grown leaf commanded considerable at
tention, and experimental purchases
were not infrequent.-Journal.

LANCASTER New ERA. Jan. 20, 1903.
The home market showed little ami
nation during the past week. There
was little inquiry from any source except
the local manufacturers who buy few
cases at time. There was very fair
sprinkling of drummers from other sec
tions, but we cannot hear that they did
much business. The only sales reported
to US were Is cases sold by Jacob Mayer,
and 300 cases sold and Is cases bought
by Kramer Il Goldberg The latter have
been receiving a great deal OF the 1902
crop purchased by them about 800
cases and will begin packing next week.
M. M. Fry, who has been large pur-
chaser of last years crop, has been re-
ceiving the goods on a liberal scale, and
will also begin operations in the same
direction in few days. The sales of
old goods for the week were 450 cases.
1t affords US much pleasure to say that
the tobacco now being received at the
warehouses is greatly improved in style
of handling. The packers say that
bad lot is now an exceptional case, and
there is no further cause of complaint.
The words of caution sent out appear to
have had their due effect, and everyone,
whether packer or seller, will be the bet
ter for them. The tobacco itself is all
that was claimed for it; the only trouble
was in careless handling.
