Development work IS progressing
steadily on the San Jose mine. whic b
is located across the gulch from the
STANDARD.
General manager y. ). Rosecrans
was down from the Standard Tuesday
last, and reports work progressing
rapidly. The mine, he says, is looking
remarkably well.
Joe Tanner was down this week
from his Santa Rosa mines, aud re-
ports that he has his assessment work
done. and is continuing development
work
1t would be well for people who are
interested in mining claims, TO have
their titles investigated by lawyer,
and if there be any flaws, to have them
rectified at once. Property is now in
demand in this district.
I Harry Westlake, superinte ndent OF
/ the Coronado Mining company, was in
Clifton this week. and reports work
progressing favoraby. The mines tf
/ the company never looked better. 1t
is question OF a few months only
when the Coronado will become regu-
lar shipper.
The Shannon company will soon be
ready to install the second half OF its
concentrating plant, which will enable
it to handle about 800 tons per day
over its vanners. The company has
been running twenty concentrating
tables for some time past, and will add
eighteen more.
The Importance of patenting mining
claims is not generally understood,
especially in Il community where
claims have been held at montreal
prices. a claim that is worth develop
ing is worth patenting. y patent does
away with all chances of litigation,
which frequently puts the owner to a
cost of many times the amount requir-
ed TO patent the claims.
General Manager Beauchamp of the
POlaris company was in town Tue sday
last with some fine specimens recently
taken from the Golden Eagle vein.
The ore averages - ounces gold and 81
ounces silver, and also carries some
copper. The ore is beng sacked Tor
shipment to FL Paso for treatment.
MIR. Beauchamp is quite elated over
his new strikes on the Golden Eagle.
The Morenci Standard announces
that the \. c. and ID. G. companies
will build dam below their cOncen-
traitors, and store the tailings from
their plants, which will stop the flow
of tailings down Chase creek. After
the water has evaporated from the !
tailings they will be elevated to cars
and conveyed to the mines and used
for filling in old workings.
Work was resumed on the Antietam
mine this week. and arrangements |
have been made TO ship ore 10 the a.
G. company for treatment. Z. f. |
Crowley, manager of the mite, has !
arranged with the Standard company !
for their burro pack train, to carry his |
ore to the railroad at Metcalf. The /
A niietam is one Of the best new mines !
in the district, and from now on will |
be on self-supporting basis.
Harry Wright has struck the wise |
KEY. Out OF p claims he has discarded |
all but the four he believes best. On |
these he is concentrating development !
work with excellent prospects of soon |
having shipper worth the while. |
