MINING NEWS

Mark Bradley of the Lion Mining
Company, has been spending a few
days in Prescott, his wife and children
having gone to California to spend
the summer months. He reports work
still progressing with splendid results
on the Buffalo group of claims, locat-
ed about three miles from Cherry
Greek post office. An immense ledge
of good ore has been opened up on
the property and development is 60
ing quietly but steadily along and the
company believes they now have one
of the best showings in that part of
the county for a big mine. When
asked as to the probability of the
Lion starting up again he said there
had been so many disappointments in
connection with the starting up of
this property, that he did not like to
say anything definitely about it, but
he had every reason to believe that
the property would be in full opera
ton again within a short time, as
many of the difficulties which had
confronted the eastern management
seemed to have been overcome.
The new mill was started up at the
Dividend Consolidated Mines Com
pany at Chaparal, last week, and is
now running "a hours per day with
splendid results. The delay in the ar
rival of one or two small parts of the
mill prevented its starting up some
time ago, but now that everything is
under Roadway there is no doubt but
the property Will make a splendid
record as they have thousands of tons
of ore ready to mill. They are now
milling ore from the Galena claimaof
the group, but will have force of
about twenty miners taking out high
grade ore from the Dividend in a few
days, or as soon as the work of re-
timbering the shaft has been complet-
ed. Watch the Dividend and see if
she don't make a great record within
the next year.
A. ]. Pickrell has force of men at
work developing the Dakota mine
near the Senator and just above the
Cash mine. He has a, shaft down
about 70 feet and has encountered in
sinking it a splendid body of high
grade ore. There is about 500 tons of
ore blocked out in going this dis
lance.
The Bannie Company has started
work on its property again. The men
are driving a drift at the 300 foot level.
Dan Thorne, Jr., who was up from
the Santa Maria country this week, is
engaged in developing the Dahnie
claim owned by him about nine miles
from the famous Sultan mine. The
The Dahnie has a shaft on the top
of the mountain and he is running a
tunnel in on the ledge to intercept
this shaft. 1t is in a distance of over
200 feet, the ledge being five feet wide
with a streak of tale about a foot
wide which assays from 50. 90 to $500
per ton.
Evidence is fast accum ulating to
prove that Central Arizona-and this
immediate country in particular-is
destined to be second Cripple Greek.
All that is necessary to prove this
section to be remarkably rich one is
development to a reasonable depth
at least TO the permanent water level.
This has been fully demonstrated by
the Congress, Octave and many other
properties on this wonderful mineral
zone. The field is large and oppor-
tuEities are ample for capital, by
economic and legitimate mining
methods, to harvest large returns from
comparatively small investment

The Rincon Mines Company has had
a Nissen mill and machinery hauled
in and will have it running in about
a month. a fierce of thirty men is at
work, the mine is looking we'll and
everything points toward a successful
enterprise. The Rincon is undoubted-
ly good property.
The Golden Link Mining Company,
at Sultan, on the Santa Maria, is
running its twenty stamp mill and
cyanide plant successfully. At the
last regular clean mp, on June Sth,
Sl4, 700 was taken out. An electric
drill has recently been installed,
which is doing good work. There are
about seventy-6ve men on the payroll.
There is plenty of water for all pur-
poses in the river at this point.
An item of interest concerning the
mining industry of this county is the
fact that during the year 1903 forty
steam and gasoline hoists we're receiv-
ed in the county, and seven quartz
mills we're placed on different claims
