Found a Nine

w. H. Black returned yesterday
from trip to the mining district
northeast of Morristown, where he
went to look at property On
Sunday he took his gun and strolled
out to get a few birds for dinner,
not at that moment having mines
in his head. Accidentally, how
ever, he kicked over a piece of rock
that looked good, and further in
vestigation revealed a ledge 5000
feet long, and of varying width and
unknown value. He broke off a
piece of the cropping, and yester-
day had it assayed, getting a re-
turn of over $500, gold. If
the rest of the ledge is like that, he
will some day be on Easy street.
1t looked good enough, though,
that before he left he put up his
monuments and staked his claims.

A letter from New Haven, Conn.,,
informs the Blade that the Saddle
Mountain Mining Company, pro-
NOTED and managed by George B.
Chittenden, has taken over the San
Carlos copper mines and made a
$4,000 cash payment therefor.
The development work prosecuted
on these properties for six months
past has revealed bodies of sui
phide ores in the lower workings as
great as are the bodies of oxide
ores revealed on the surface. The
same company has shipped dia-
mond drill to Dudleyville to be
used in prospecting the coal claims.
Arizona Blade.
A number of mining companies
are now operating along Bill Will
Jams fork and many more are
contemplating going in there. That
whole section is vast storehouse
of mineral, and when the railroad
is built in there, property values
will go up with a bound. Mining
operators should get in now and
take advantage of the bargains
that now can be obtained. The
building of the big dam at Parker
will give the country cheap power
for the operation of mines and re-
duction works.-Mohavc Miner.
