! The system of sizing and concen-
trating at the Jaeger mill is proving
a great success. Samples of the pro-
duct from five different tables all of
different sizes may be seen at the

handle by ordinary methods.
T G. Archer left last Friday even
ing for visit to the property of the
Cieneguira Mining company in Mex
leo. The property is located about

The Illizona company's property
near Kirkland is tur2ing out far be-
yond the most sanguine expectations
Of its promoters. The shaft is now
down to a depth of 255 feet and num-
erous drifts have been run at various
points in the mine, and all of them
show up a good wide ledge with an
abundance Of good milling ore in
them. A new hoist and powe: drills
have recently been installed on the
property and Superintendent c. W.
Platt announces his intention of sink
ing to a depth of at least 800 feet.
This property is located in practically
new or unproven district. The ledge
crops out very prominently for a
long distance, and is all located.
The Illizona company owns eight
claims on the ledge and present de-
veIopment indicates that a large
camp may. be established there.
The Midnight Test mine, on Groom
creek, which has been idle for some

preparing to do some deep mining
and extensive development of its
property in the Big Bug section. At

active work will be again renewed on
a larger scale than ever before.
Oscar Streibig, a California mining
promoter, has taken years option on
two groups of mines in the Crown
King section. The properties are To-
Gated about eight miles south of the
railroad and if the deal goes through
a wagon road will be built to the
property.
Work is being pushed on the wagon
road from Crown King to Orc Bella.
At present the only means of commun-
ication between the two points is by
pack train over mountain trail. The
Orc Bella is producing large amount
of concentrates besides receiving a
large amount of supplies making a
wagon road a necessity.
Thos. l.. Shultz returned last Sat
urdsy night from the southern part of
this county where he spent several
days in gathering data for the big
special mining edition which he and
f. c. Friedman will issue for distri-
button at st. Louis. He says the
southern part of the county is terribly
in need of rain, but in spite of this
the mining outlook for that section is
brighter than it ever was in the his
tory of this county.

gives great promise for the future
There is ten stamp mill on the prop
erty and the only thing that has held
the company back so long was the
/ scarcity of water. This difficulty has
about been overcome and the devel-
opment of the ledge has also brought
an increasing supply of water aud il
/ is fully believed that sufficient water
can be developed in the tunnel to run

The Rincon Mines company is push
