it turning out continuous flow Of the precious metals.
 The building of a smelter on the Iron King mine. is of course, a guarantee that the mine is a great property and will be a producer for years to come, as Senator w. A. Clark is not usually in the habit of putting machinery on mines for the purpose of reducing ores before he has thoroughly demonstrated that the ore is there in large quantities to reduce and that it is pay ore. The Iron King, or as it is usually called, locally, the Equator, ledge is of great width, being ip many places more than 600 feet in width, has been demon strated by being uncovered at different places. and can be traced for many thousands of feet in length in about north and south direction. From the Iron King workings south through the Copper Chief mine, and on through the Patterson group of five claims, this rich ledge has been prospected, and at no point through these properties has it failed to prove it carries ores. The ore in sight in the Iron King is very high grade, and as mentioned above, there must be a large body. That it goes down, has been proven by diamond drills.
 South of the Iron King Is the Copper Chief The News is informed from reliable source that there is now over s. 900 GOO worth of ore in sight in this mine at the present time, and that with development work not more than com menced The mining machinery on this group is equal to any in the southwest, and everything is available for rapid development work.
 South of the Copper Chief property. starting at point little less than 500 feet from the main shaft on mat prop erty, lies the James Patterson group of claims. Through this group the Iron King and opper Chief ledge can De plainly traced on the surface and by numerous shafts and tunnels, in all of which there is ore. About 600 feet south of the Copper Chief shaft Patterson has an SO-foot tunnel cutting the ledge for
 that distance This tunnel is fifteen feet from floor to roof and for the eighty feet that has been run through. all of which carries mineral gold pre- dominating In some places this tun- nel has run through bodies of ore from six inches to two and a half feet in width, that assayed 15 per cent copper and s1O per ton gold, with some silver. I
 | From these ore bodies MT. Patterson | took down some ore in the presence of the News man, and afterwards banned | it. getting results which showed that it | contained values of at least from S15 to s2O per ton gold. Copper is also plainly in evidence in this rock. North and south of this tunnel there are a number of other openings in all
 of which there is ore. This group of
 claims has 5000 feet of the Iron King and Copper Chief ledge, and in places 1 it has been demonstrated that it is six 1 hundred feet in width With a smelter

 only 15OO feet north, and with the work
 ings of the Copper Chief. in which it is claimed there is in sight over S3,000,0 0Oo
 worth of ore. MT. Patterson's claims
 that he has good property are cer-
 tainly justified.
 On the Patterson property there are a
 three story dwelling and store building.
