Colonel Parker, Las Vegas man
writing to the Albuquerque Journal
Democrat, about the new gold fields
near Hillsboro, New Mexico, says
"Several Mexicans found the gold
and located all the ground that show
ed gold. 1 know the men who located
the gold. They are good miners and
have had years of experience in placer
mines near Hillsboro. After they
found the gold, they informed their
comrades, before they made the news
public. Hillsboro went wild, but
being acquainted with the locality,
did not consider it worth a trip.
Many who went down have returned
and say that outside of three locations
made by Mexicans, nothing has been
found. A friend of mine, an old
placer miuer, who was the first Amer
lean on the ground, says that ten men
can work the field out in a week. To
call the reports sent to outside papers
gross exaggerations is putting it mild
ly. l hope something may develop,
but at present, the gold is not in
sight" Colonel Parker says there is
absolutely nothing to induce miners
to come TO the district and that the
rush and excitement have been with
out adequate reason. He advises peo-
pie strongly to keep away. Other re-
ports from there recently confirm this
view.

and would have liked to have looked
it over little this time.
The Pacific Mining company has at
tanned depth of $50 feet and let
contract for 100 feet further. They
have encountered some fine looking
ore. Their shaft beats them all, be-
ing. the best timbered shaft in the
county and we'll equipped, and with
out doubt they have a mine, being the
southwest extension of the Midnight
Test. This company means business.
They have the property; all it re-
quires is good practical management,
and that is what it is now getting.

joining the Pacific company and Watts

This is on the Gold Note ledge. On

will work better than sl5 per ton.
Adjoining this property on the north

mine, the bullion will pile up very
fast and dividends will gladden. the
hearts of the stockholders. The COM
pany has been fortunate in having a
class of stockholders that have not been
impatient for dividends and have I'M
derstood that it required an enormous
amount of money to properly equip
and develop such a property as the
Iron King before dividends are ex-
pected. But there can be no doubt
that their judgment has been right
and that the property will prove to
be one of the greatest paying mines
IN the west when it has reached the
stage of development that it has been
the aim of the management to reach
before they began paying dividends.
A failure to recognize this fact has
brought disaster to many companies.
The amalgamatiDg plates and con-
centratIng tables have been taken out
of the mill and the ore is taken di-
rectly from the stamps to the cyanid-
ing tanks where it is treated by that
process only, about thirty tons per
day being handled.
The diamond drills have been in
operation for several weeks and the
results in cross cutting have been very
satisfactory, and the drills will be
driven downward in a few days to de
termine, if possible, the depth of the
ore body. The amount of ore now
proven is something almost beyond
contemplation, there being more than
a mile of underground workings and
the deepest less than 400 feet. With |
the amount of work now done there is |
close to $40. 1000, coo worth of ore de-
veloped. Should the diamond drills |
prove that the ore body goes down to
a depth of even 1000 feet, and there is |
hardly a shadow of doubt that they |
will do better than that, the value of
the property will hardly be within the
range of calculation.
New ore is constantly being opened |
up in the drifts and cross cuts, only
last week a good sized vein of copper
ore having been encountered by the
workmen in drifting from shaft Nod.
This ore carried values that went I
higher than 500 per ton. This is
considered to be a very valuable
strike, as the ore is on the claim south
of the Iron King claim, nearly 5000 |
feet south of the main working shaft. |
a 100 horse power Fairbanks, Morse
K Co. gasoline engine was received
in Prescott yesterday by Brown Bros,
and was shipped to the Iron King to-
day. The engine is one of the largest
size manufactured, and took up an en-
tire car. This engine will be used to
run the new electric generator which
will generate electricity for the 10
horse power electric hoist which will
be installed at the main working shaft
near the mill. The entire camp, mill
and mine is now lighted by electricity

Behold, the God-Iike human forml

Forever yours and mine.

At mortal artists call,
Can make dummy out of rock
Or paint one on the wall.

This creature of delight
But let its proud creator feel

Powerless to break the SPELL

But when a little boy stood there
Beside me on the walk,
He asked me sev'ral questions; one
Was, Papa can it talk. "
Gods statuary breates and talks
Aud ev'ry muscle there,
Will quick respond to any call,
Do we but give it care.
Fine robes can never add to mans
God given noble form,
They're but a call of modesty
And else to keep him warm.
The kind of dress that ruins health,
May catch the morbid eye
But when appealed to common sense,
Twill quickly pass it by.
Bedecking thus thy comedy form,
Is wasted skill and more,
''Tis like thee whetting Cupid's darts,
Quite sure to kill before.
The man who lives ,temp'rate life,
In all things, day and night,
Will have the pow'r to sway the world
And brains to sway it right.
But in these days of bated breath,
We bake our brains so quick
While man can lay on good advice
The gods can't make it stick.

Notes From Groom Greek.

Prescott, Ariz., Dec. IA. editor
Journal Miner. II recently made a
trip up Groom Greek among the mines.
1 made my first call at the Ideal mine.
Meeting P. j. Fitzgerald and later
Mr.. Sarano. They have attained a
depth of 80 feet on their mine and
have done considerable drifting but
no stopping. The vein is large carry
ing some high grade ore and large
quantity of low grade ore. Their mill
is in perfect order, the Sharpneck
steam stamp mill. They have it set
up in good shape, and without all of
the red tape expenditure. They did
not have to grade down the side of a
mountain to set up their mill. The
engine, boiler, stamps and tables are
practically all on one floor. The mill
was not running when was there at
noon but Mr.. Sarano said they would
be running in the afternoon. They
are using the Standard concentration.
The stamp is dropped 200 times per
minute and brushes from eleven to
twelve tons of ore per day. l should
judge from the looks of the plates
that good returns are made. The
plates had very healthy look.
After partaking of good dinner |
struck out for the head of Groom
Greek, returning the next day and
stopping again at the Ideal mine.
Everyone was away, but a Missouri
negro cook. He is a smart negro. ]
know he is from the remarks he made.
Passing on up Groom Greek from
the IDEAL company found the Empire
mill and mine idle. The same with

to get the Alma shaft to the 400 foot

Runaway Accident.

Horses are considerably like men,
or men are considerably like horses,
just as one may take it. Whenever
you see a mild hammered, good ma
tured, harmless looking man do not
presume too much on his good ma
ture by attempting to impose on him.
He is usually the most dangerous sort
of man under such circumstances.
The same is often true of horses.
The easy going, slow plodding, quiet,
gentle family horse, which goes along
as if he did not care whether he ever
got there or not, and which seems ap-
parently oblivious to all of his sur
roundings is the one to keep your eye
on, as he is likely to break out at the
most unexpected times.
Hon. r. E. Morrison has a horse
such as described above. Automo-
biles, locomotives, flying paper and
such things as are Objectionable to
many horses, inspire no terror and
fear in him, but on Sunday afternoon
while Mr.. Morrison was out driving
with his wife and Mrs. Kautz, bur-
70 suddenly appeared before the an
imal on the corner of Cortez and
Goodwin street, when he suddenly
started to run away down Goodwin
street. In turning the horse to avoid
a collision with a wagon the vehicle
was overturned throwing the occupants
out and slightly bruising the ladies.
Mr.. Morrison was thrown against the
wheels of an old stage coach which
stood there and sustained quite painful
though not serious injuries, the worst
one being scalp wound. The buggy
was very badly wrecked and the horse
was scratched up some. Mr.. Morri-
sons injuries are not so serious as to
incapacitate him from work today.
He says that the horse seems to be in
terrible fear Of burro, that being the
only object which will brighten him.

Transfer of Kankakee
Property to Wife.
The Act Causes Great Apprehen-
sion Among the Residents of
the Illinois Town.

The Investors Adviser, a monthly
paper of Chicago published to pro-
tect the interests of all investors as
it alleges on its front page, in its is
sue of December, 1903, contains the
following concerning a former resi-
dent of this county:
The assignment of Joseph l.. Giroux
of interests in Kankakee to his wife
has caused considerable apprehension
and excitement down there which is
the old home of Mr.. Giroux. 1t is
generally the case that during the ex-
citement resulting from failures rum
ors and false impressions obtain in re-
gard to the cause which led up to the
trouble and many people are thereby
caused to take i'll advised action in
matters they are financially interest
ed in.
Hearther & Co, of Philadelphia,
acting as fiscal agents for the Giroux
Consolidated Mining Co., adopted the
usual method of promoters who care
more to sell the stock than to satisfy
the investor. In this case they put out
statements which were ridiculous in
the extreme and sold stock. at par in
a mine which is three or four years
from the producing stage. A property
which, however coed it may appear
from present development, cannot
possibly be brought to the producing
stage without spending considerable
money not only fer the development
of the property itself, but equipping
it with the best modern appliances and
machinery for getting the values out
of the ore.
The people of Kankakee should not
lose faith in Jos. L. Giroux We
rather apprehend when the mists are
cleared away that it will show Mr.
Giroux an honest man and business
man who was not skilled in the pro-
motion business and lent his name
and influence and tied himself up in
a proposition which he desired to
get out of and took this measure to |
protect his private fortune.

MINING INTELLIGENCE

The Gold Roads mine in Mohave
county is making a record as a pro-
Queer. The Miner says that on Thurs
day evening Sheriff Lovin brought in
from Gold Road two bars of bullion
valued at S24, 600, the clean up from a
two weeks run of the mill. The bars
weighed about 125 pounds. The bull
ion is valued at SIS per ounce. The
company is now in a position to keep
up this big bullion shipment indefin-
itely, there being an immense tonnage
of this high class ore in the Slopes of
the mine, while the new ground now
being opened up contains far richer
ore.

The Mayer Placer company, which
is operating the steam shovel about
two miles above Mayer on Big Bug
creek, is meeting with better results
now than ever before in the two years
that it has been operating there. The
company is composed of New York
capitalists and owns 20 placer claims
in a body where they are operating.
During a good portion of the time
since the steam shovel was installed
there has been a scarcity of water and
caused the plant to remain idle, but
that difficulty has been pretty we'll
overcome by piping water from Hack
berry gulch. 1t is claimed by the
company that they can handle the
gravel for about six cents per yard,
and can wash it Tor about twenty five
cents or a total of between thirty and
thirty FIVE cents per yard The ground
that is being worked will run all the
way from 81 to 50 per yard, which it
can be seen will leave the company a
handsome profit. They are cleaning
