 The Gold Nugget Mining company. of which J. G. Pritchard. of this city, is secretary. is reported in shape for a small mill. The stockholders of the company. many of whom are resi- dents of this city. have recently eyi- denced greater faith than ever Tn the property and it Is altogether probable that the mill il is ready for will sooG be inStallsd.
 The property of the Gold Nugget consists of seventeen claims. situat- ed on what used to be the government reservation connected with Fort Bow ie. and group of four claims. about two miles west of the old fort Apache pass.
 The group of r claims cover two parallel ledges and their extensions for a mile and half or more where these ledges crop out on the surface for about six to seven thousand feet The principal ledge consists of ribbon quartz filling a Assure in granite me ribbons showing clear evidence or sliding movement of the layers or quartz. the one over the other and secondary enrichment of the ledge by the deposit of gold in the cleav- age seams there being five shoots on these lodges on the Golden Fleece claim and it's extensions that give evidence of this second enrichment by the visible gold in the seams or by the great amount of free-gold in the pan.
 The test of the ledge has been
 ha nr.a four hundred feet from the apex, the second five hundred and fifty feet from the apex. thus leaving 400 feet and $50 feet between these tunnels and the apex of the ledge. The up per tunnel is 147 feet the second tunne. is 1856. The ledge is demonstrated to be continuous and to carry values throughout.
 At twenty feet of depth in one in- cline shaft a tunnel was started west ward to eventually meet the tnnne! running eastward from the west end of this claim. It is now tYety feel long. the continuation of this tunnel along. the vein will afford an average Of 45O feet of stOping ground between tunnel and the apex of the vein All l%NElCDlLNlit pu tAlS SActP D. ~ average ore value of s27 to the tor
 A mill test made of one ton ot ore from the Golden Fleece claim yielded ss3 free on the plate besides hfty bounds of concentrates which carried Sl97.25 gold S1.75 silver, and 10 per cent. lead. On account of the pad coz dition Of the mill the coarseness being 20 mesh, S22 was lost in tailings- me ore was taken through and through from one of the chutes on the leose without any selection
 The seccnd mine of the company situated on the claims, covers seF- eral veins. Assures in broad porphyry dike. The principal ledge is well oe- fined and continuous for about two hundred feet on the surface Three shafts one of one hundred feet or depth. enc of thirty and one of twenty and tunnel two hundred and elgnl feet on this ledge, show the average value of thirty dollars per ton
 A new chute of very rich ere on the New Year claim was recently dis- covered. It yields gdaeral assays amounting to over $500 per ton me ledge at this point is from eight lncnes -o I4 inches in width showing Vlslole ooId The directors are satisneo that enough ore is in sight 10 run . ema1l mill for two years; sS,OVV mas heen spent on the development oi the
