Those in Charge at the
Orc Grande
NEW MACHINERY TO ARRIVE
No More. Test Runs Will Be Made
tn Another Five Stamps Are
Added to the Quartz Mill

George B. Upton, vice president
and general manager of the Orc
Grande mine, went up to Prescott
this week for few days Mr.. Up
ton was looking fine and said that
he was feeling elated over the con-
tinued success of the test runs
made at the mine. He says that
in recent three days run the
former average of dollars to the
ton on the plates had been kept up.
There will not be any more test
runs made till the extra five
stamps, told of in a recent issue of
the News-Herald, have been in
stalled, the machinery for which is
expected to arrive at any time.
Until then there will not be much
doing at the camp. The pipe for
the pipe line has not come yet, but
the engine for the pumping station
is in and connected up. There has
been something doing right along
ever since Mr.. Upton's return here
a few months ago. Orc Grande
will ere long be live and hustling
camp.
Hon. S. P Hooker, who spent
some time out at the mine last fall,
is expected to be back again this
month. He is now busy in the
State Legislature at Albany, N. Y.
Mr.. Hooker and some of his friends
are large stockholders in the Orc
Grande, and they are watching the
developments with a great deal of
interest. They have been highly
satisfied with the showings made,
and if their satisfaction and the
satisfaction of the other heavy
stockholders keeps up, it will not
be long till work on the big 100
stamp mill will be begun.
The success of this property is
now doubly assured, and it's sue
cess means much to the surround
ing country. 1t will answer the
question that has been asked so
many times as to what the Orc
Grande is doing. 1t will cause
those who have their "hammers"
out against the Central Arizona
Mining Belt to draw back and
cease their knocking. 1t will put
the clears" of the mining business
out, and they will only be able to
Join the "bulls." The success which
Mr.. Upton has made of this enter
prise marks him as a successful
man. 1t has many times been an
uphill pull and he has kept at it
just the same, and now that sue
cess is his, he deserves to be con-,
graduated and complimented for
his good work. May the final sue
cess of the Orc Grande be such as
to repay him many fold for his
faithful and untiring labors.
