GREAT ACTIVITY ALL ALONG
 THE LINE IN BIG BUG SECTION
The Hum of the Mining Industry Can Be Heard on Every Hand-Properties Not
 Affected by the Drouth.

"We are running stronger than at any time since the mill started, said Superintendent Joslin of the Model Mining company at McCabe this week. ''We are shipping forty tons and up wards every day to the Val Verde smelter and have ninety men at work on the property at present. We have been running now for five months without break and expect to keep the plant going to the limit of its ca pacity to the end of the season. We are down over 700 feet and drifting in all levels.
 McCabe is certainly prospering and several new houses are rapidly going up in the camp. MT. Parsons, an old mine owner in this district, who has been down in Florence, has returned and is building a 5000 house, and other nice residences are going up.
 The Model company as we'll as the other concerns operating in the Me Cabe district is especially fortunate in the matter of water supply. The splendid big cement reservoir of the company, one of the finest in the coun- ty, which holds million gallons, is kept full all the time and is amply sufficient for all purposes.
 Further up the gulch ahove Me Cabe things are fully as lively. At the Little Jessie, owned by the Jessie mines company, a double compart- ment shaft is being rapidly sunk and is now down 250 feet. When a depth of 1000 feet is reached Superintendent Jones will put up a 2U0 ton mill to treat the great bodies of low grade ore. An electric plant is to be in stalled on the Agua Fria six miles away. and electricity will be conveyed to the mine for motive power. 4 six inch pipe line will also be laid to the same stream to supply any possible de- flciency. A tunnel on the property will be converted into an underground reservoir to be filled from subterran- can sources. When the reservoir is completed new camp buildings will be erected immediately The principal stuff to be handled is pegmatite run ming from SIS up.
 Superintendent Biles of the Divi- dend Consolidated, is overseeing the installation of five new stamps in the company's mill, making it ten stamp affair." A new boiler and engine are being placed in the mill. A new hoist of 1900 feet capacity is in opera tion at the Dividend mine and a hoist has also been just completed on the Galena. Sinking is now progressing. There is more than enough develop ment work In ore alone to keep the ten stamps busy.
 The Gladstone mine is employing over half hundred men and shipping ore to the Standard mill. The shaft on the Leland is being deepened and work on a smaller scale is going for ward on other claims.
 Altogether the McCabe district is one of the very busiest and most fiourishing mine localities in Yavapai

Preparing for Strike.

In anticipation of threatened strike by their macbinists, the Santa Fe company is placing armed guards ia all points where they have machine shops. The machinists' union recent ly made a demand on the company that none but union men be employed in the shops, which the officials of the company positively declined to grant, but insisted in employing whomsoever they desired. The union then threatened to call all their men out of the shops, and every point along the line from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Chicago is now under guard in anticipation of the threatened strike, the company having men ready to take the places of any who may quit work. About eight or ten men went up to Seligman today from Prescott to guard the shops at that point. It is said that the com pa1y wants to secure twenty men in all to be stationed at Seligman.

Elliott & Drescher have sent out a force of men and work has been com menced on the installation of the fine new hoisting plant at the Mt. Union Mining company's properties, better known as the old Blair properties, near the Senator mine. It is expect ed to have the plant in operation by the 25th of this month. It will be a steam plant and one of the best in this section with a capacity to sink 1000 feet. It is said that the workmen in the tunnel who have been working on an upraise have just broken through. The tunnel is in between 400 and 800 feet and the depth attain ed on the vein is about 200 feet. The property is showing up in a most sat- isfactory manner.

Work is progressing nicely on the contract to sink the shaft Tn the Le- Ian mIne being operated by E. W. Wells at Chaparal, from the 400 to the 800 foot level. The Lelan is looking splendid and gives every promise of developing into a first class property. The Lelan shaft is only a few hundred feet from the main shaft of the Dividend claim, a part of the property of the Dividend Consolidated Gold Mines company, on which large new hoisting plant is now being erected and other exten- sive improvements made. There seems to be no doubt but what both of these properties will soon become good producers, and they are located in one of the finest mining districts in the county.

Some parties in this city seemed to misunderstood the local in last nights Journal Miner regarding the closing up of the office of Douglas, Lacey $ Company in this city. The general management of the affairs of the company will still be in the hands of F. N. Nissen, who will make his headquarters in Los Angeles, but his brother, J. NJ. Nissen, will have per sonal charge of affairs at the Home Run and Iron King Extensions proper ties in this county, and will have his office at the Home Run mine. He will have authority to pay all bills and transact all business ID connection with these two properties. It was found that to maintain an office in Prescott just for these two properties was a useless expense of several hun dred dollars per month, and for this reason it was discontinued. The con- pany has no idea of abandoning this section, but on the other hand believe that they now have properties that will bring them good returns.

Another body of very rich ore was encountered yesterday in the property of the Rincon Mines company. It is similar to the chimney of ore encoun- tered some time since in the mine or is probably part of the same shoot. It goes away up in the thousands of dollars per ton. The rich ore is about eighteen inches in width. While the company does not expect any great big body of this kind of ore, but de- pends upon the average values of the ores generally which are good, for making mine, in speaking of this rich ore this morning ohe of the members of the company remarked that it was good as a filler and helped out wonderfully.

the promising properties of this sec tion

W. K. Toohey, an experienced min ing promoter, left this morning for his home in Ohio. Mir. Toohey dur ing his visit here became interested in the properties of the Gold King Mining company, after making an examina
 tion of them and a general examina- tion of that district generally. He is thoroughly convinced that the Brad shaw mountains is the coming mining center of Arizona. The Gold King property while not developed to any great extent has the surface indica- tions, as we'll the underground indi- cations as far as prospected, of mak- ing a good mine. Excellent assays have been obtained from samples of ore taken at random, while it is in the very heart of the Bradshaw noun tain district, surrounded on all sides with producing mines. The property will be developed just as rapidly as- possible. In addition to other favor able conditions existing on this prop erty, is the fact that the railroad crosses one claim of the group, mak- ing transportation facilities all that could be possibly desired.

About three miles from the we'll is a country gridironed with spar veins of great size, many of which are capped with iron.

The Golden Cross Mining company which was recently organized to work the old and we'll known Pine Noun tain property near Walker, is said to be meeting with splendid success. J. W. Norton is the general manager for the company and his recent visit to Kansas City resulted in securing all the funds needed to put the prop erty in good condition. The property was worked several years ago when a great deal of development was done amounting in all to between 1000 and 15O0 feet. But when the iwork was stopped the mill was allowed to stand idle and the underground workings i'll up with water. When the Golden Cross company took hold of the property they had to remodel and put the mill in shape, unwater the mine and retimber much of the old work ings. This has been done and good force of men is now at work taking good ore out of the mine. The com pany, besides fixing up the ten stamp mill, has just closed a contract with Elliott & Drescher, for the installa- tion of a five foot Huntington mill which will be put in at once. The stamp mill is running steadily and giving good results. A sufficient sup ply of water has now been developed for all purposes.
