Militia Matters.

Col. B. W. Leavell, adiutant gen.
ersl of the territory has received ad-
vices that Krag- JoTgensen rifles and
carbines and the accountrements
which accompany them, we're shipped
from the government arsenal at San
Antonio, Texas, for the Arizona Ma
tional Guard on November %. The
shipment will provide these improved
arms for every company in Arizona
except the cavalry troop at Morenci,
about which, there is a little misun-
Outstanding at present. The Arizona
National Guard now numbers 400, in
round numbers, of which there are two
troops of cavalry, one at Morenci and
one at Nogales. While not large in
numbers, under Col. Leavell's ad-
ministration it has been brought up to
a high state of efficiency, and its men,
bers are quite enthusiastic.
By the way, in this connection it is
apropos to inquire why Prescott, one
of the largest cities in the territory,
has not a company. There is plenty
of good material here for a company
and if proper effort was made by
some one there is no doubt that a
good company can be organized.
When Prescott was less than half of
its present size and when the proper
ton of young men was not as great as
at present a militia company, one of
the best in the territory was maintain
ed here. Our young men are not Jack
ing in patriotism, then why not or
ganize a militia company?

works could be obtained from Their
with very little cost for pumping
The property is also crossed by tn
/ Poland branch of the Prescott i East
ern railroad and a fine mill site i
owned by the company right besid,
the road, which solves the problem o
transportation facilities, which is I
great item to any property.
Development of the property wa
commenced by Mr.. Suttle about
/ year ago and something like s25, 00i
+ has been expended on the property il
that time. As a result of this expend
iture there has been one shaft SUM
to a depth of 210 feet and one to
depth of 10 feet. 1t is on the latter
shaft that work is now being prose
cuted. It was here the rich ore wa
encountered a few months ago anC
work was then abandoned, for the
( present, on the first shaft and all tn,
energies Of the management have beef
directed to the development of thii
/ ledge. Besides the 10 foot shaft OF
this ledge an open cut and tunnel ha:
been run into the side of the noun.
tain for several feet and a number Of
small openings have been made along
the vein for a distance of between 500
and 900 feet, showing the ore shoot tC
be continuous for the entire distance
and of just about the same size, the
quality of ere being similar. From
the 10 foot shaft there has been
taken, in sinking, about eighty ton:
of first class shipping ore which it i:
estimated will go fully $50 to the ton,
and this estimate seems to be very
conservative when it is known that
one can hardly pick up a piece of the
ore from the dump which does moi
show free gold to the naked eye. The
second class ore, on the dump, con-
sists of nearly 100 tons and is esti-
mated to average fully Sl5, which
would make the ore now on the dump
average about S35 per ton. 1t is calcu-
lated that there is at least 800 tons OF
ore in sight, which at the above aver
age value would more than pay for
ell the development work thus far
done of the property.
1t was Mr.. Suttle's intention when
be came out this time 20 Slope out a
few hundred tons of the ore and mill
it. but after looking over the situa-
ton he decided TO sink at least aq-
her leo feet and should the present
showing hold out for that depth a
steam hoist will be installed when the
work of taking out the ore can be
done a great deal more economically.
The ore vein to the present depth has
averaged about eighteen inches in
width, sometimes greater and some
times little less, but a good general
average of eighteen to twenty inches
has been maintained.
The camp is equipped with offices,
bunk house, boarding house, barn,
blacksmith shop. etc, and is in good
shape to go ahead with the work of
developing the claims into a good
property, and with the conservative
management which seems to be at the
helm of the enterprise, there seems to
be nothing in the way of making the
Burlington a fine property.

A GOOD SHOWING IS BEING
MADE At BURLINGTON MINE
Hundreds of Tons Of Rich Ore Exposed and
on the Dumps==Work Of Sinking
VIII Be Continued.

There having been a good deal saic
of late in mining circles concerning
the development of the Burlington
group of claims in the Big Bug dis
trict, and Mr.. Suite having expressed
himself as 50 highly pleased with the
showing being made at the property
since his return here from Illinois, 4
Journal-Niner man concluded ,o
drive out to the property and take a
look at it. Accordingly, day or two
ago, in company with H. c. Vincent,
of the Hotel Congress and DR.. Y. r.
Owens, of Sublette, Illinois, the lat
ter being enc of the original pur-
ehasers of the Burlington some
eighteen months ago. and who has
been spenGi ing several weeks here, the
Journal-Miner reporter visited the
property. Mr. Suttle was found at
the mines personally planning the
course of future work, and the party
was shown all over the property and
taken through the underground work
ings and every detail was carefully
explained To say that the claims
which Mr.. Suttle has been making for
the Burlington we're fully substan-
tiated would be only the plain truth,
as the property, considering the
amount of work done, certainly shows
up fine and the chances for develop
ing it into one of the good paying
mines of this rich section seem very
fiattering, as the natural chances are
ali greatly in favor of this group.
In the first place, the property is
located in one of the best mineral
districts 10 the territory, that of the
Big Bug mining district, and is sur
rounded on every side by scores of
good properties some of which are now
paying dividends.
1t mas for its close neigbbors such
properties as the Henrietta group,
owned and operated by the Bragapza
Gold Mining company, and which has
been a dividend payer for over a
year, paying ten cents per share per
month to its stockholders. Also the
Gladstone, which sold only a few
months ago for s125. 600 Eith only one
claim and a fraction, and which is
now running steadily with splendid
results. The famous Little Jessie,
which has produced over 500. 600 in
gold, is another close neiGhbor. The
Dividend Consolidated Gold and Con
per Mining company, the Iron King,
which today could not be purchased
for $4,000, 200, the famous McCabe
property, which sold two years ago for
$500, coo, and a number of other we'll
known mines and prospects of great
promise.
The property consists of five claims
and two mill sites, both of the latter
having been located for the purpose
of affordiDg water supply. There is a
well on one of these claims which at
only a few feet of depth, affords a
large supply OF excellent water for all
camp purposes, and with a little
further development would undoubt-
eddy furnish a much larger supply,
while Big Bug creek is less than a
mile from the claims and an abund
ant supply for mill or reduction

The Pacific Mining company which
is operating the Nevada group of
mines on Groom creek, which were
owned by W. n. Kelly, and which are
more generally known as the Kelly
group, has just let a contract for
sinking the shaft 100 feet deeper. The
contractor is j. c. Mcdonnell. The
shaft is nov down $50 feet and it is
thought that this 100 foot additional
will bring it down to water level,
when a steam hoist will be erected on
the property. 1t is the intention of
the company to continue the shaft to
a depth of 500 feet before stopping and
then drifts will be run and the
ground at that depth will be thor
oughIy explored. The property is one
of the old time producers and has
yielded large amount of free gold
from near the surface, but like other
properties in the district when sui
phide ore was encountered work was
discontinued. Everything continues
favorable as far as depth has been
made for opening up good mine.

James A. Fleming, president of the
Black Warrior copper mining COM
pany, arrived here yesterday morn
ing from a business trip in the east,
taken since his last visit to Globe.
Mr.. Fleming was INTERCEPTED as to
the truth of the report that the sale
of the Black Warrior for g, 500, 600
was pending, said that there was moth
ing in it or at least he had not been
approached on the subject. He said
he was looking for that party him
self While the Black Warrior is; in
his estimation, a very valuable mine,
there would be but little time spent
in preliminaries if he could find a
man with that much money in his
pocket who wanted to buy it. Mr..
Fleming says the Black Warrior is
now running with only small force,
as the teaching plant cannot be work
ell to advantage till the installation of
anothor blast furnace. The teacher is
all right and the blast furnace now
in use is all right, but it is too small.
Since the placing of the present fur
mace the ore has changed to a higher
grade and to work it profitably will
require greater furnace capacity, as
the ore now being taken out has to
be sorted and a larger percentage
than formerly must go to the smelt-
ing plant instead of the teacher.
