spent several days Investigating that
 property. For some months past this
 property has been under operation,
 and theswork progressing satisfactori- ly, in development, and the results indicating that the ground warrants
 every dollar being expended on it, he
 desired to become better acquainted
 with his interests by personally in
 specting the ground. He was free to
 say that be was more than pleased with every condition to face him,
 above as we'll as below ground. The
 group of the company em braces twelve full sized claims, each 600x1500 feet,
 and some of these extend down the
 mountain to whereS the track of the | Bradshaw mountain railroad crosses
 them. This is a desirable question to
 be weighed in the future handling of
 the product from them, as it gives an outlet and an inlet to the property ! that is of most desirable nature in
 ready and economical channels of
 shipping out its product and in bring
 ing in mining supplies. The progress
 of work to date on the group is cen
 tralized to one point, that of driving
 crosscut tunnel to the Gold King
 claim of the group to tap the main
 vein at distance of about 280 feet in. This tunnel has reached a distance of
 200 feet, and but eighty feet remains
 to make the connection. In driving
 this tunnel blind vein was cut into three feet across, and that it carried
 high values the character of the ore struck was evident, although no assays 1
 have as yet been made. The object of | this tunnel work is to gain greater l depth, and when it is finished, suffi- | cient exploitation will be given to | practically demonstrate the merits of
 the undertaking and which through i former work at points on the vein by | shaft work is practically an accom-
 plished fact. If this tunnel is con- tinued to be driven, four other veins on as many claims of the group will ! be crosscutted, and when this is done, the work of drifting both north and south will afford the exploitation of the property in a manner that will systematically and economically settle the future working of the property. The entire group of the Gold King company carry gold and copper values, copper predominating, and this favor able feature all the more commends the enterprise even in its present de- velopment. The formation is als s au excellent feature to be considered in its rating, granite being the contact on the east on the footwalI, and DOT phyry prevailing on the west and in the vein matter. The dyke on which the Gold King interests are located is established as supporting the great est mines of the Bradshaw region, the Gray Eagle, the Middle ton, the Lincoln, the Blue Bird and mdhy OIhSIS. hluh6u JO GHdI CudTdC- teristic, and with the fine showing the development work on the Gold King demonstrates at the present time, the future operation of this ground and in the manner contemplat- ed, is awaited with an interested feel ing in that section. It must be said of that mineral field also that there is not foot of available ground open 10 location, but on the other hand there is desire from the small and the large investor to become associated with all mining enterprises that are open to investment there and in that particular zone.
 Mir. Stewart says he was more than T agreeably impressed with another in- 1, fact that he noticed in making the trip t D the Bradshaws. and which should be directly associated to ', the mining interests of the Bradshaws and as be saw them. It was that of |, the inauguration of the Val Verde. the A' 1HC ANlSOg anu JULIET ldTR6 = custom smelters at Mayer and near by F points, veritable congestion of facil- ties practically all together, and thelr situation being at point so close to he Bradshaw district, and the only s ivailable point for such great enter 1Iises to find a location, on account 'f water supply, all the more con- ? 7inced him that the heavy production Q sustain them in the future was C hat region and its many mines. This U n itself is an unanswerable argument. s md the tonnage that will be required u o operate these plants bespeaks the conditions that are appar- mt in future operations through devel- Q ,pment work in the Bradshaws.
