 Of Good Ore
CINCINNATI INVESTORS HAVE GOOD FORTUNE IN RICH FIND
 OF GOLD MINE.
uncovers An Immense Body of Gold Ore Hundred Ton Reruction Plant to be Installed at Once Values Range From s2o to $500 a Ton Work Being Prosecuted With En- ergy.

colt should be shadowed by noun tains Of gold ore and not know it, yet such is proving to be the fact Re cent developments of the property of the Pfau Gold Mining and Reduction company are calculated to give a greater appreciation of the environ ments and opportunities of this sec tion as a mining district Observing the unmistakable tracings of nature on the surface, this company has had the courage of thelr convictions in ex- tensively developing their holdings Among the many mining properties that have been located in this country few have been so rapidly and success fully developed as those under con sideration in this article. The com pany was organized only little over a year ago in Cincinnati. Ohio, by Lee Pfau, who is president of the company. and who was for number of years in the engineering corps of the war department. It has for its officers and directors prominent busi- ness men of that city.
 Very little has been said 10 the pub lie concerning the progress being made on the property, but several re- ports having come 10 the knowledge of the Journal-Miner concerning the uncovering of a large body of ore re- gently, a representative of this pa per visited the property this week in company win Messrs.P .Pfau. Renshaw and Atkinson who have been spending several days at the mines locking over the work already accomplished and formulating plans for the future.
 When MT. Henshaw arrived at the mines he could barely believe the evidence before his eyes at the splen- did progress. that had been made and the changes in the property since his former visit in November, 1902. After a thorough examination he expressed himself as highly pleased and said that in his opinion every dollar of the money the the company had put int othe property had been judicious- ly spent and well invested, Although this was the first visit to the mines by Mir. Atkins he was also delighted with it and felt no doubt that the company had a great property, and was also much surprised at the immense devei- opments made and the extent and permanency of the improvements.
 This property lies about four miles beyond Cherry postoffice in the Black Mills mountains and about eight or nine miles south of Jerome where the great United Verde mine is located.
 The property is now equipped with a two-stamp Ideal testing mill. The mill is an amalgamating and concen- trating plant being equipped with Bartlett concentrator. A small cyanie- ign testing plant was recently install ed and the tests so far made on the concentrates by this process is highly satisfactory, ninety-two per cent of the values being extracted.
 It is the purpose of the company to install onehundred-ton plant ot once as there is now enough ore uncovered and developed to run such plant for about five years without developing another foot of the ground.-Journal Miner.
 The ledge was encountered when Tn only few feet and the tunnel is now in over eighty feet and all in ore. On account of the dip of the ledge the distance now attained in the tunnel gives the le6ge a thickness of fully thirty feet and the foot wall has not been encountered. The hanging wall is porphry and from the old workings on top of and on the ether side of the that the foot wall is granite and that the ledge may be fully one hundred feet across. Everything in this ledge so far, carries good milling values. while a rich streak on the hanging wall. which varies in thickness from eight inches to nearly four feet. car ries values ranging from s2o to $500 per ton. I
 Two drifts have been run on this ledge. one to the north for distance of sixty feet showing fourteen Feet of quartz that carries gold values to the amount of s10 per ton. The south drift is seventy-fve feet long and exposes eight feet of quartz also carry ing good milling values The north drift is connected with fifty foot shaft while 200 feet south of this shaft is in an opeu cut. also showing the ore shoot, thus demonstrating for cer- tainty that the ere shoot is fully POO feet long, and the probabilities are that it is much longer than that, as float is found in. abundance for dis tance of 1000 feet without break, then it disappears under Rich Hill It reappears beyond this mountain and is again traced for 6ooQ feet.
