THE ALASKA NINE
Good Showing at the Bottom Of the
3OO.FOOt Shaft

d. j. Sullivan returned home
Tuesday morning, after spending
ten days at the Alaska mine, the
promising property of the United
Gold Mines Company. The work
is now down over 300 feet and the
vein is fully two feet thick. The
same high grade ore that has char
acterized the ledge ever since it was
discovered is still in evidence.
Mr.. Sullivan is greatly enthused
over the outlook. He thinks now
that the property, when further de-
veloped, will exceed his fondest
dreams, and the same hopeful feel
ing characterizes the miners and
others working at the mine. And
the local situation is not the most
hopeful part of the proposition.
Mr.. Sullivan says that stock sales
in the East are picking up rapidly
at 80 cents share. It takes money
to develop mine and the fellow
who has few hundred dollars to
put into a proposition that he
must wait while on for returns
can not find q better one than this
to put his money into. Local peo-
pie who have bought some stock
would not take the market price
for that they now have, unless in
isolated instances some one should
happen to be III dire need of few
hundred dollars.

merous veins that crop on the sur

now in over 300 feet, he has en-
countered about twenty-five feet OF
a low-grade sulphide ore, which
does not crop out on surface. He
has done little drifting on this,
but intends to connect his tunnels
before doing any other work.
Leopold Walloth, the Yarnell

The Nagel group, which is west
of Placerita, is being worked by one
of it's owners, c. c. McKeene. The
former owner, Fred Nagel, caught

considerable dead work to do be-

PLAcER1TA (ARIz.), January 10.
Editor News-Herald: In sending
YOU some Placerita notes for your
paper allow me to start by asking
YOU to make a correction to an
item which appeared in your issue
of January 9th. In it you said
L. J. Haselfeld was in charge of
the Bragg properties at Placerita.
Such is not the case. Mr.. Hasel-
field is in charge only of what was
formerly known as the Hamilton
and Parker ranches in Peoples
valley, which were purchased and
are now owned by C. c. Bragg of
Cincinnati, o. Mr.. Bragg, un-
derstand, bought these ranches for
the water rights principally, same
to be used for mining purposes
when the mines in Placerita have
reached that stage of development
to require large quantities Of water.
J. H. Hise, who had charge of
the Bragg mining interests in the
Placerita section, has gone to Cali
fornia to recuperate his health, and
has been succeeded by G. Gordon
Green. Mr.. Green has started in
to do some extensive mining on
the President mine, situated in the
lower end of Placerita sometimes
called Little Cripple Creek). This
name is derived from the King of
the West mine, also owned by Mr..
Bragg, and the ore of which re-
sembles the ore of the Gold Coin
mine of Cripple Greek. Both of
these mines will, no doubt, become
producers in the near future, as
they are backed with plenty of
capital and have competent man
agement. They are being operated
under the name of the Central
Arizona Mines Company. There
is complete reduction plant at
the President mine, consisting of
steam pumps, crushers, vanners,
pumps, hoists, etc. There is a
larger milling plant in contempla-
ton.
About three miles northwest of
the President mine, on Arastra
creek, the owners of the Virginia
Dale mine are taking out ore which
they intend milling at their TO-
stamp mill farther up the creek in
the near future. This is one of the
mines which D. Jones, formerly
superintendent of the Congress
mine, tried to bond before taking
hold of the Octave mine. He could
not make satisfactory terms
with the owners at that time, as
the showing was very fattering,
and thereby Placerita lost a great
opportunity to become a Give"
mining camp. This mine is in
granite formation. There are a
number of other good prospects in
the immediate vicinity of the Dale,
which with capital and intelligent
management could be made pro-
ducers.
Farther up the creek, in the slate
or shale, the owners of the Virginia
Dale have several properties form

James 0. McGovern, that genial
old veteran of the civil war, who
has good ranch up on Date creek,
was in to see us this week. He has
been a long time in this neck OF

the country go ahead. He has a

by the fact that he loves to read

to old Tennessee for his folks.
