 feet of work done. Like many other
 men he hasn't the amount of money it
 requires to properly develop a proper
 ty, but there is no doubt that he has a
 property which can and will he devel.
 oped into a big proposition.
 Superintendent o. c. Mccoy of the
 Eastside Gold Mining company has
 for the past two days been exhibiting
 gold specimens that are causing con,
 siderable excitement among mining
 men. One of the pieces of quartz is
 literally sprinkled with gold, and if
 any assays were made, would run be-
 tween $2000 and 5000 to the ton. The
 gold can be plainly seen sticking from , the rock. About four months ago
 Mccoy picked up piece of this rock | loat, but 1t was not until few days ago that he found where it came from.
 While picking into promising looking
 ledge he got out the rock sample he
 has shown. The company plans to
 run drift about 300 feet under the
 mountain, which will cut into ledge
 from which surface assays have
 brought between S200 and $500 in gold
 to the ton. Within the next two
 weeks the company will ship car of ore to the El Paso smelters.-Bisbee Miner.
 c. E. L. Thomas, the well known Michigan correspondent, says: "The Calumet & Arizona mine at Bisbee, Arizona, produced 3,020,0 900 pounds of blister copper, 99 per cent fine, last month January the best month in the history of the mine. This product was seceured from the operation of only two furnaces of 250 tons capacity each, neither of which treated tS full quota of ore. Sustained Smelter runs of over year demonstrate that the Calumet & Arizona is the richest cop. per mine in the world. It's ores carry about $l6 per ton in gold and silver. There are blocked out large quantities of sulphide and black manganese ores that will average above 55 per cent copper, but the management prefers to keep them in reserve. At present the Calumet X Arlzona is producing at the rate of over 36 100000 pounds of copper per annum. Another furnace is ready to go into commission and two more are planned.
 The Clifton Era states that Craw ford and Await, who have bond on the Frye and kinsey claims, in the re- gently organized Gold Hill district. | have had the property surveyed and | and have commenced de. | work. So far as wo. k has been done the property is making fine | showing, MT. Crawford estimates that from various samples, the leads will | average about one ounce gold and lead | and silver sufficient to bring the gen. eral average up to about $2G per ton. The veins are usually found in the con tact between lime and quartzite, and | Ire very promising. There are also a number of faults which have formed blanket veins, which can be caught by going down through the malpais. There are number of lime blow-outS through the malpais, which indicate that the country is covered by an oger- tow aud it may be that many good | will be struck by sinking through the malpais, as was the case 1t Tonopah.
 Reward, commensurate with hard abor performed, still continues to be bestowed upon the Birdno brothers md their CO partner, Boggs, who have ,een working the White Tail Deer claims for the past seven months, says ,he Bisbee Review. A visit to the yesterday disclosed to the Review representative the fact that he cross-cut being run in the direction ,f the Broken Promise claim of the Wolverine & Arizona company is still n fine body of ore, if nything, of | arger size than it was few weeks ago. | )n Thursday the four miners working ,he lease shipped a carload of high. grade mineral to the Copper Queen ,melters and another carload is now | ,n the dump ready for shipment. AL ;ogether the amount of ore thus far ,aken out of the cross-cut will average lose to thirty per cent copper. How much more ore Blrdno Brothers X | BoggS will take out of the White Tail Deer workings is matter to be de- termined by their future work, but while they had expected that the present. ore body would extend but a short distance at the time they first uncovered it, the deposit now gives ,he appearance of being Of very con. siderable size. The breast of the ;ross-cut contains ore : feet by feet n dimensions, and but little time is 'equired to assOrt the mineral for shipment to the smelter as nearly all |
