Thos. NJ. McGill and b. f. Cobb
are recent arrivals in Prescott from
Chicago. These gentlemen are inter
ested in the properties of the United
Gold Mines company, located within
few hundred yards of the great
Congress gold mines which sold a
couple of years ago for 5000, 900.
They left for Chicago yesterday in
company with D. j. Sullivan to look
over the property. This group of
claims give promise of being great
producers and there is every reason
in the world to believe that with the
proper development they will compare
favorably with the Congress property,
as they show up better than the con-
gress mine did when it had the same
amount of development work done.
The two properties were located by
the same man-Oennis May-and Mr..
May does not hesitate to say that
the properties of the United Gold
Mines company now have a much bet
ter prospect than the Congress mine
did when the same amount of work
had been done.

GRAND "49" BALL
At |. 0. 0. F. HALL
Was a Big Display of
Fire Arms.
HasSayampa Water on Tap and
Baked Beans for Hungry
Dancers.

If "little nonsense now and ther
is relished by the best of men," the
40 ball given by the Odd Fellows al
their ball last night ought to have
been keenly relished. for certainly all
conventionality was laid aside and the
big crowd of people that was in at.
tendance pitched in for a good time,
and to a man up tree they seemed tc
be having it.
The men were dressed in real days
of 40 costumes, and six shooters and
knives were much in evidence, while
the ladies wore costumes appropriate
to the occasion. The music, which
was furnished by the Smith Emanuel
orchestra. was all that the frisky
dancers could ask for and the merry
dance went on uninterrupted, save
for now and then a little shooting
sorape, until the small hours of two
o'clock this morning.
At eleven O'Clock a lunch of beans,
brown bread and black coffee was
served and the way the crowd went for
the feast was evidence enough of the
way it was appreciated and enjoyed.
Fruit punch was served during the
entire evening and a barrel of real
Hassayampa water was constantly on
tap with Tommy Thompson at the
faucet to see that the old timers did
not founder themselves.
The ball was great success finan-
ciaIly as we'll as from a standpoint of
real fun and good fellowship, ana as
a novelty it certainly took the bun
yes, the whole bread wagon.

stalled at the Orc Grande near Wick
enburg has been completed and a
short run made to get everything in
smooth running order preparatory to
the final test. About a thirty hour
run was made and the mill worked
entirely satisfactory. Ore was taken
promiscuously from all over the
dump aud the plates saved over $40 a
ton making almost a complete saving
of all the contained values. At pres
ent the company is working three
shifts in the bottom of the shaft, sink
ing to obtain a greater reserve supply
of water for the general test of the
mine, which will be made upon the
arrival of eastern members of the com
pany, expected this month. 1t is un-
derstood on good authority that the
company will at once proceed with the
erection of the contemplated 100
stamp mill if the test proves the ore
to average 50 ton, fact which is
generally more than conceded by all
who have worked in or are acquainted
with the property. General Manager
George B. Upton is in charge of the
property. -Repub lican.

Pueblo, Colo, Nov. 17.-Officials
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany claim today that the coal miners
strike will now be solved effectually
in their favor by aid from the steel
and iron works men, who have been
laid off here and who are going into
the coal mines. More than two thou
sand men were laid off Saturday in
the steel works on account of the
shortage of coal. They are being
shipped rapidly into the mines. The
operators state they will soon have
plenty of coal.

Geo. E. Moe, of Oxnard, and L. c.
Farwell, of Saticoy, California, left
this morning for their homes after
spending several days at their mining
property which is located about twelve
miles southeast of Kirkland, and is
known as the Farwell group of claims.
Work was suspended several months
ago on this property but these gentle
men have been looking over the situa-
tion with the object in mind of re-
Stunning operations again very shortly.
Several weeks ago while MIR. Moe was
at the property looking over the sur
face groupings he took some samples
from a cropping that had never been
given any special attention before and
when the returns came in from the as
says it nearly took his breath, as the
three samples gave the following re-
suits in free gold: No. l, S57, No. .,
1885. 20 and No. 3, s77.76. When oper-
ations are resumed again the work
will be done on this ledge. The ledge
is very strong one, the groupings be-
ing several feet wide, while the ore
streak at the surface is from eighteen
to twenty five inches. H. E. Moe, a
son Of Mr.. Moe, is staying at the camp
at present.

c. Rankin returned yesterday
afternoon from a visit to the Henriet.
ia mine in the Big Bug district, and
reports things looking fine at that
property. The Henrietta, which is
owned and operated by the Braganza
Gold Mining company, has been among
the steady producers of this section
for the past year sand a half, having
paid two cents on the dollar dividends
nearly every month in that time.
1t is thought by those who are est
acquainted with the mine that the
real valuable part of the mine is just
being opened up, as the heavy sui
phide shipping ore is the ore that will
make the property permanent and a
steady producer Of wealth.

MINING INTELLIGENCE

NJ c. Parmley, of the Dividend
Consolidated Gold Mines company,
left this morning for few days trip
to Los Angeles and Pasadena. He
reports that things are looking all
right for the future of the Dividend.
The company is now endeavoring to
raise the necessary cash to increase
the capacity of the mill to at least
forty stamps beside adding consider
able machinery in the way of large
and powerful hoists, cyaniding plants,
etc, and as soon as this can be &C
complished, which they are in hopes
of doing soon, the Dividend will take
its place among the big producing and

Arizona, from ores averaging about
one per cent copper, as indicated in
correspondence from Yavapai county,
Arizona, shows a high degree of con-

a rectangular mating furnace with
Bretherton attachment for heating the
blast, by which about 1000 cubic feet
of air per minute is heated to $50 and
400 dergees before it enters the tuy-
eres. The result of this is to utilize
the sulphur in the ores as fuel, max
ing the coke required correspondingly
less. This heating of the blast also
serves to largely eliminate the arsenic
which is carried in some of the ores
smelted, thus escaping the heavy

about the following proportions: sui

The news that the trouble in the
coal fields of district number fifteen
has been settled and that the miners
are returning to work, will be re-
ceived with joy in this county as we'll
as in many other sections. 1t was
feared that several of the properties in
this section were going to have to
shut down on account of not being
able to get coal and coke The United
Verde smelter at Jerome has had all
it could do to keep a supply of coke
under the most favorable conditions
and when the strike was declared in
the coal fields it shut off their supply
of that necessary commodity and it
has been rumored in this city for a
day or two that the smelter would
have to close down again, throwing
several hundred men out of work.
The Iron King mine had almost ex-
hausted its supply of coal and it was
feared the mine and mill would
have to close down till another supply
of coal could be obtained. There were
several other properties throughout
the county in the same fix, but it Is
hoped the settlement of the coal strike
will remove the danger and that the
mines and smelters can continue oper-
ations uninterrupted.
