CORONA GROUP
 SHOWS UP WELL
Recent Inspection of the Property Reveals a Liberal Quantity of
 Healthy Looking Quartz.

it's issue of June IS. This journal bears the distinction of being the only daily mining newspaper in the world:
 Mineral and other conditions on the group of IA claims owned by the Corona Consolidated Gold and Copper Company, located within sight of the Crowned King, Grey Eagle and other producers, near Prescott, Ariz., were made the sub- ject of an inspection of several of ficials, including Messrs. J. s. Acker: w. s. Head and A. NJ. Aubertus, in a visit to the property several days ago.
 At the face of tunnel (now in about 16O feet) ore in commercial quantities was encountered two weeks ago. Eight shots were put in while the visitors were present and several wheelbarrowsfui that were brought to the open air had the appearance of what was left of the rich ore which had years before been worked by arrastra process on the ground.
 This tunnel is run at the inter section of the Deers' Rest and the Christmas Gift claims, and will be driven 2000 feet through the noun tain to a point about half a mile from Turkey creek. It will pass under the apex at depth of about $50 feet and will cut five parallel s lodges of from feet to 10 feet wide which crop on the surface and which mining men believe will unite in a A mammoth ledge with great depth. In all there is about 500 feet of de- velopment work on the entire group. About two-thirds of the distance up the mountain and almost in line with the mouth of this tunnel, is a E deep, open cut on four and one-half feet of ore, that width of ore show ing in the face of the cut, which is pr about 50 feet long.
 There are about fifty tons of
 healthy looking quartz piled up on the dump which is said to assay F. from $11 to $36 to the ton. It is
 estimated that ore from these prop & critics can be landed at Seaton's e, mill for $1 ton. The ore is car. its boniferous on the surface and sul
 phuret lower down. It carries from 4 to 6 per cent copper. Some out. e.. croppings on the gulch below carry So sn high percentage of silver.
 On the Copper Hill claim the 0' visitors found about sixty tons O. 's sacked and unsacked ore on the 'S dump, which at glance showed that it's principal value is in cop
 per. Its values are given at 16 pel . cent copper and from $3 to $4 golc
 to the ton. This ore was taker
 from two shafts about 30 feet deer
 each. connected by a drift 30 fec
 long. In the upper shaft the veir
 is about 12 inches wide; in tht
 lower shaft it is nearly 20 inches
 Splendid tunnel sites abound a
 many points on the group, and thu
 fact that there will not be the grea
 expense of handling water vii
 bring much of the lower grade orr
 on this property within the prof
 line. So far as developed, tn
 mines present an assuring show
 ing. Assays of ore from the fac
 of the new workings on the Coron:
 group have just been handed in
 The ore taken from across the 16O
 foot tunnel assays $1795 to tn
 ton-$16.95 gold and $1 silver. Or
 taken from the 44-foot vein in tn
 center of the open cut, near the to]
 of the mountain above the tunnel
 gave total assay value of $31 .S9-
 $3O.59 gold and $13O silver. . The officers of the Corona com pany are: A. J. Head, x-postmas '' ter and merchant, Prescott, presi
