 but have the good wishes of a host ot friends in their sudden rise from pov. erty and toll to life of ease and lux uTy for the balance of their days Chloride Arrow.
 P. N. Nissen, manager for Douglas, Lacey X Co.,, in this section, inform: the Journal-Miner that the work oi putting in the concrete foundations for the new mill at the Home Run mine on Groom Creek, are all com | pleted and the work of raising the frame of the mill is we'll under way He says the foundations flor the nor tors are as fine as anything he ever saw in that line, being ten feet deep and as firm as the granite mountains | themselves. The work in the mine is being pushed forward with all possible haste in order to have plenty of ore ready for the mill when completed so that the stamps may be started up for continuous work. Two upraises have been started, one from the 100 foot level to the surface and one from the 200 foot level to connect with the drift at the 100 level. When these upraises are completed the work of stopping out the ore will begin and several hundred tons of good ore will be ready for the mill as soon as it is ready for operations, which it is thought will be about the first of De- cember. He also reports good news from the Iron King Extension proper ty where the Iron King ledge was re- gently struck. The drift was run about l4S feet west from the shaft when winZe was started down on the ledge. Although where the ledge was struck is about 10U feet below the surface is practically the top of the ledge, the ledge is covered with wash to a depth of nearly 9U feet. Where the winze was started the ore vein is about eight feet wide and when down only about lU feet copper glance commenced to appear in the bottom of the winZe in stringers from one to three or four inches wide, and it is al together and form a solid vein of cop per glance ore when a little greater depth is attained. The eight feet of carbonates where the winze was start ed averages nearly seven per cent cop per, and MT. Nissen feels very highly elated over the prospects of the prop erty.
 \ contract has recently been let for 300 foot tunnel in the Copper Queen property near the great Iron King mine.
 The new hoist at the Rapid Transit mine in the Grown King section 'was started up this week. The working shaft on the property will be sunk 100 feet deeper and levels will tn ,n be run. The ore from the north drift is being sacked for shipment to the Val Verde shelter and things look mighty good for the future of this well known property. The new assay office has also been put in commission and is we'll equipped for testing the values of the ore that is taken from the mine. This property is surely destined to be one of the big pro- ducers of the Bradshaws at no very distant time. In fact that section is going to give to the mining industry in this part of the west quite num- Der of good mines as soon as the rail road is completed, which will be in a few more months.
 The Journal Miner is in receipt of prospectus just issued by the Dividend Consolidated Gold Mines company which is just about the finest thing in that line that has ever come to its mo- tice. The Dividend Consolidated Gold Mines company has only recently been organized by some of the leading men of California and includes some of Prescott's we'll known mining men, and they have secured eleven of the most promising claims near McCabe, and is a consolidation of the follow ing well known mining companies: The Dividend Gold Mines Company, The Galena Gold Mines Company, The Independence Company and The Com stock Company. Preparations are be- ing completed now to work these properties on very large scale. and without doubt another year will wit ness this one of the large paying con- panies of the county. The properties are going to be thoroughly developed before any dividend are promised, so when the time for paying dividends arrives there will be something to pay them with without crippiing the fur ther operations of the property. Some ore was recently encountered in the Braganza Gold Mining com pany's Henrietta mine which is fab ulously rich The Journal Miner man was shown some samples of the or. 1 that were taken out of the vein ny Mir Brdrick. of Chicago, during his recent visit to the mine, and they were nearly half gold. Of course | there is no large quantity of tbis kind of ore but the ore that is being taken out of the place where the old and new workings came together is aveisE | ing way up c.use !o the Sl00 mark. ] The mine l. looking better all the time and that is saying a good deal d. the property is among he best m the country and inc hig euii bullion iars have been coming in with cisrk Ii a . regularity for over a year past
