 in the west, and who made the favor.
 able report on the United Verde mines
 which caused Senator Clark to buy
 them, has examined the Bunker Hiil
 group of mines, in Walker and Big
 Bug districts, and left for Los Angeles.
 Alter examining the Bunker Hill
 group he telegraphed the London and
 Boston capitalists, in whose interests
 he came here, that the properties were
 all right. He said to the Courier re-
 porter that the group were splend d
 properties which would make gold
 producers. rs.-PreScOtt Courier.
 Preparation for the starting up .of
 work on the Elkhart mine is now un
 der way and good force of men will
 be put on before the tirst of January.
 The sinking to depth of 1000 feet,
 which is contemplated, will be watch.
 ed with interest by the people of this
 county, as it will undoubtedly develop
 new ore zone and enlighten the
 mine owners as to what they may ex. | nnnt halnku tho NgotAr lAvn1 Fl there is not mine in the district that
 has obtained the depth where per
 manent change has taken place in the
 ore. lt is our belief that copper will
 become the dominant me tai with depth and that the gold values will increase largely. - Mohave County Miner.
 The Calumet X Arizona mine, of Bis6ee, is one of the geat wealth pro- ducerS of the world. The constant stream of metal that pourS from the furnace at the Douglas reduction works is becoming world famous and has made fortunes for the stockhold- CTS. Notwithstanding the fact that dividend is to be paid within few days, the company will have surplus on hand amounting to S600,OOO. This is wonderful, as it was only a short time ago that the shelter was started. l All debts of the company are paid aud | on tue l9Gh of December every stock holder will get S2 as quarterly divi. dend on each share Of stock. This | will give yearly earning of $S per share or so per cent of the par value, which is $lO -Internati0nal-Am merican. |
 Orick Jackson, writing of the Hsn- rlstta mine, owned and operated by | the Bragdnza company, says ''In the past month $6 200 gold bar was Iun from the mill, the largest to It's credit in the past eighteen months, while 5000 in shipping ore WIS was the re- turns. This feature of the output will be maintained as work progresses on the new tunnel, if iu realitf it is H'S ibOiCdoSN O1 OaC lCOclfGu lIOul but tunnel itself as it is being driven on the vein of the Henrietta. The mill on this mine is being overhauled and rebuilt, while new hoist ing engine has been placed on the ex. trcme northern side of the mountain. everything that has em- barrasSed the operating of this prop erty in the past few months, the de- of new ore bodies, the frail mechanism of its machinery, and the expense in handling it's ore output, this property has an ex- ceptional record to back up its repre- sentations and warrant any expense the future may call for. While the property is an old one it has remained for the Braganzl people to bring it to the front in the handsome manner now evident, and in doing so Big Bug enterprises of like nature feel and ap. preciate the good that mining has re- ceiyed through tS influence.n
 Orick Jackson writes the Phoenix that the progress of work on the gigantic Poland tunnel goes on lninterruptedly and the operations con tinue day and night. From the Big Bug side the bore has reached distance of 4,0OO feet, while from the Lynx creek end an opening of 2,lOO feet in length is shown. This leaves gap of about 1 300 feet to complete the work. When finished it will be tun. nel of about 5000 feet, the greatest piece of work ever undertaken in Ari. sona for any mining purpose. The late for completion is set for the first If July, next Attending the work here is manifested a great deal of in. crest by mining people located there md at nearby points. It solves the economical transportation of ores, thereby greatly facilitating tne deyel- 'wment of mines carrying low grade ,f ore is also probable that this unnel will be connected with a sys.
