MINING NEWS

All information from the famous Bonanza mine in Harqua Hala is to the effect that what appears to be the genuine vein has been discovered. It has been believed for some time that the vein had parted and where the rich ore was discovered heretofore was only broken pieces of the lodges. The vein has always been sorght for on the mountain but year or so ago a celebrated mining engineer informed
 the owners that it was just as likely to be found to~ard the desert as towards the mountains It was how ever more by accident than otherwise that the ledge on which work is now being done was found. The strike consists of a ledge from fifteen to eighteen inches. It was found few
 feet below the old workings, that is farther down the hill and near the mouth of the old tunnel. If that tun- nel had been started six feet farther down the hill the ledge would have been found years ago. The average value of the ore in this ledge is said to be several hundred dollars a ton. The Bonanza was sold twelve years

BrOdie on Political Result.

Governor Brodie, who returned to Phoenix, on Sunday, from a visit east told the PhoenIx Republican that throughout the east there is no doubt of the success of the republican ticket.
 Even the democrats are not hopeful of carrying New York, and most of the leaders already concede that the state will go republican by majority of from 5O,OOO to 75,O00. There is 8 three cornered democratic fight in progress there to which the parties are the Hill or Parker democrats, Tammany and the followers of Hearst, who has just been thrown down by Tammany. Notwithstanding the pro testations of Hearst and Tammany of loyalty to the national ticket it is not believed that either of them will give it cordial support.
 The betting in Wall street on the result remains where it was week after the convention. Republicans are offering ten to seven oD Roosevelt.
 A few bets have been made at ten to six but democrats generally are holding out for two to one. There IS in consequence very little betting being done.

Hubbard with George Bowers one of the original owners. Hubbard took a great deal of gold out of it and then sold to the present owners, lot of Pennsylvania men.
 The Falco Troy tunnel, which is to be driven through Rich hill, is one of the newest enterprises in this sec tion of the country. This is one of the first tunnels to be undertaken in this district. Most of the mines are worked by sinking on the lodges, but, in view of the fact that so much free gold has been picked up from the sur face of Rich hill from time to time, and as this gold has come from some ledge in the mountain, it is consider ed that the big tunnel now under way will have a value beyond any tunnel proposition ever undertaken in the territory. It is thought by some that the company is at work on one of the lodges from which came the

MT. Arthur E. Brown, of Provi- dence, R. l., has been spending six weeks at the Buffalo camp and during this time he has had experiences enough to fully acquaint him with the stern reality of western life. He has killed three rattlesnakes two of which had rattles attached to their musi- cal departments, and several centi- pedes. One day while strolling on the hills he ran across swarm of bees which contributed number of stingers and 9 pounds of wild honey to the comfort of camp life. Then, to cap the climax, last Thursday morning he went over to an adjoining camp and arrived just in season to help the top man pull an unconscious mine. from the bottom of shaft. The latter fellow had been overcome by the powder gas and poor circula- ton of air. hearing the groaning Mr. Brown ran into the tunnel and assisted the top man in getting the fellow from the shaft which had been made by means of a winze and aided in restoring the miner to conscious ness.

GOID KING MINING COMPLAINTS
 PROPERTY IN THE BRADSHAWS
Development Work Being Rapidly Pushed in Cross Cut Tunnel to Tap the Vein at
 Great Depth--Good Indications.

The Gold King ledge is on the same dyke that the Middleton mine is To- cated on and can be traced by the outcropings, the latter property being visible from the Gold King claim and the dyke being also visible the entire distance.
 The outcroppings are very promi- nent on the Gold King property and the indications are most favorable for the development of large mine. In fact nature has given every appearance of this by the surface croppings and splendid assays have been obtained from the ore near the surface.
 The property, in addition to the features named above, for its economl- cal development has an ideal location for the economical handling of the ore. One claim of the group extends to a switchback of the railroad and an aerial tramway can be constructed from the tunnel to this switchback and the ore delivered there over it.
 The group extends across War Eagle gulch, where an abundance of water is found for camp purposes, and where water can also be developed for steam purposes.
 4 number of the claims are also we'll timbered so that the company will be provided with sufficient timber to meet all requirements for years to come
 Two claims on the west side of the group are located on the same dyke as that on which the famous old Peck mine is located. But little work has been done on these claims yet but high assays have been obtained from the float and while the greatest amount of energy will be devoted in pushing the tunnel on the Mountain View and through the Gold King claims these claims will also be pros pected, as the surface indications are equally favorable on them as on tbt other claims.
 The caInp of the company is located in War Eage gulch, adjoining the ol6 Dickey ranch and wagon road car be butt from the old Grown King anC Mayer wagon road over an easy grade to the camp at an expense of feV hundred dollars and if will probabl!
 be built before winter sets in. On the east side of the group i
 located the Blue Bird group of claim , owned by Hugo Richards, Thoma Roach and W. J. Mulvenon, 8 sale o which is now pending. One of tn claims of the Gold King group is ol the same ledge as the Pelican claim o the Blue Bird group.
 The Gold King group is locate 3 about two or two and a half mile 2 from Grown King and about th } same distance from the property 0 f the Bradshaw Mountain Copper min g ing and Smelling company bette
 known as the Middleton mines.

Officers of the Gold King Mining company visited that property last week to make an examination of the work already done on the property and to decide as to the future policy of proceeding with its development. Two days were spent in going over the property and everything was found in a very satisfactory condl- tion and in fact not only satisfac- tory, but satisfactory to a degree arousing their enthusiasm.
 The principal work performed since commencing operations few weeks since had been done in sinking shalt on the Gold King claim and in run ming a cross cut tunnel, starting on the Mountain View claim with the object of getting under the Gold King ledge. The site selected for the tunnel is a very favorable one and it will cut two or three ledges, which show by out croppings, before reaching the Gold King ledge.
 At distance of twenty-five feet from the mouth of the tunnel very promising ledge was encountered which does not show on the surface by any outcrops and hence was not expected.
 To reach the Gold King claim tbe tunnel will have to be run about 300 feet or a little over and it will ma ke a foot in depth for every foot in length, so that it will tap the ledge at depth of 300 feet or more from the surface.
 It will strike an intervening ledge at a distance of about 100 feet in and at depth of about 100 feet. Drifts from these tunnels run south on the ledge will gain depth very rapid ly, and if continued to the south end of the claims will be 1,OO0 feet below the surface. It is an ideal plan oi developing the property as it can De done in the most economical manner possible.
 As a result of this visit three shift: were put to work in the tunnel or Monday and the work will be pushed with all possible speed for the purpos' of reaching the big vein on the Colo King claim. About 100 feet west O the Gold King ledge there is anothe very prominent outcropping whirl can also be reached by extending thi tunnel.
 Another result of the visit was tn ordering of the immediate construc tion of a boarding house and bunl house for the accommodation of tn employees, the material for which ha already been shipped, and the con struction will be commenced tomor TOW.

FOR
 BURIED WEALTH Treasure Hunter Visits
 Los Angeles.
Was Former Resident of This COun- ty, Where He Was Engaged
 in Mining.

Martin Lewis, former resident of this county, where he was engaged in mining, and who will be remembered by many of our people, is the subject of an article in the Los Angeles Times of recent date, in which the following is said of him:
 Martin Lewis is buried treasure hunter, and the thought of cached money or iewelry in the ground is his very meat and drink. This sort of thing has such fascination for Lewis that he has been at it, off and on, for half a lifetime; and he has been re- markedly successful at the quest, too.
 Had failure followed this mans efforts the world would have laughed at his attempts; but with success so often leading him to the disclosure of buried riches, those who know of his undertakings wonder and question among themselves how such things can be. Lewis is a success as a for tune hunter.
 This grizzled old prospector arrived in Los Angeles yesterday, intent upon taking up the search for various buried fortunes rumored to have been placed in the earth here during the days of the old Spanish regime. More particularly will Lewis devote hIs time to locating the boxes of gold and jewels said to have been buried in Cahuenga pass by Alonzo Otero, an account of which was given in last Sundays Times.
 Lewis has spent nearly half century ] in mining and prospecting. He has put in forty eight years in California and Ariozna, and during tbat time he is said to have been instrumental in turning up several buried fortunes.
 On the ''Dobe" ranch, on the north side of the San Joaquin river, and about ten miles below Firebaugh's s Ferry, Lewis headed party which made a successful search for buried Spanish treasure, and succeeded in digging out Sl4, 987, which is supposed to have been buried in 1850. This
 was found by Lewis and his party in
 1861.
 Another attempt of this prospector was on the Manuel Den ranch, below on1 nnUinfa
 There he found the old cache, but
 someone had been ahead of him, and the gold was missing. However, he
 unearthed the boxes and keg which
 had contained the valuables, and this
 is told as an evidence of his keenness for the search.
 A few years ago this man undertook an investigation of the premises in the rear of the old United States Hotel, now known as Hotel Southern,
 and after considerable digging he suddenly went to Arizona. What he
 found has always been a mystery.
 The very latest phase of the treasure hunting craze, however, is an attempt to induce the priests of the Old Plaza
 Church to allow digging in the patio. Tranida Orrce, an aged Indian woman, who died about two years ago, insisted before her death that she knew exactly the spot in the court of
 the old rectory where a great treasure had been buried, and it is said she gave certain Spanish families who cared for her before her death, the
 measurements to indicate the spot.
 The prospector with the keen scent for buried fortunes will take up this little matter after be has finished dig ging up the Cahuenga pass tritie oi s2O, 900 worth of gold and jewels.

c. K. Tibbetts, superintendent of the Pfau Gold Mining and Reduction company, was in town again last week from the property of the above con- pany and he says that on his return there after an absence of five weeks he found the conditions at the property even better than he had expected. During his abserce the cross cut tun- neI, being run to cross cut the ledge, had been run forty-five feet and the value of the ore had increased from ST. 50 per ton to an average of S2O per ton. The ledge has very pronounced dip to it, and while the tunnel has been run 100 feet, they are in the ore body distance of about sitxy-fve feet, if the ledge was perpendicular, and have not yet encountered the foot wall. the tunnel striking the ledge at the hanging wall. On the other side of the mountain where considerabl work has been done on the same claim the richest ore was found on the foot wall and they expect the ore to con- tinue to grow richer as progress is made in the tunnel towards the foot wall.

Work is progressing with most satis- flying results at the Derby property Tn Thumb Butte district. MT. Young has been pushing the work of develop ment with all the speed possible and is now installing a blower and air pipe to carry good fresh air to the workmen in the mine. A hoisting plant has also been ordered and 90 ton mill is being figured on by the company and will undoubtedly be in stalled in the near future. The Derby gives excellent promise of being good. steady producer as soon as the mill is in place. MT. Young believes in waiting to put up mill until he has proven that he has a mine that will justify it, and that stage of the game now seems to have been passed and the fact proven conclusively that he has the mine. He is now ready for a mill to begin treating the ore and turning out the gold bars.

Governor Wolfiey returned on Mon day from a visit'to the Climax com pany's property and reports a very important find in the old tunnel there which they are cleaning out. The ledge had been cut by black dyke and after getting through this dyke twenty-si inches of ore was en- countered, some of which went $500. A sample taken clear across the entire width gave returns of over S3O per ton. Just how important this discov- cry may prove cannot be determined at present, ss the entire formation is broken up and no definite estimate can be formed of its extent. It is however, a very good indication and quite encouraging as all of the work recently done has proven.

The Socorro Mining company, which got its affairs aired some time ago., paid mp one half of its indebtedness recently and, it is said, will pay off the rest at an early day. As soon as this company gets its affairs straight ened up. it is claimed it will start work again and endeavor in the future to avoid the mistakes of the past. If such is the case, the Socorro will soon be another of the producers. It is a good property and will stand the test of being worked.

 Word was received in this city Fri day of last week, from Louis Wolfiey, at the Climax Gold Mining company $ property, that the wOrkmen in the old tunnel, which was opened up some weeks ago, had cut through a big black dyke which had crossed the ore vein, and had again struck the ore vein. This is good news as it proves the ore shoot to be longer than was expected at first.
