The work of driving the long tunnel
under the mountain, in the Senator
mine, is being pushed day and night.
The tunnel is now in 2O0O feet and is on
the other side of the divide the Maple
gulch side of the mountains The Sen
ator mine is twelve miles south of Pres
colt.
Tony Johns has taken an option on
the Planet Saturn properties, located in
FOOLS gulch These properties have a
great deal of development work which
has made fine mineral showing As
Mr.. Johns is practical miner as well
as an alert and competent business man,
il is well nigh a foregone conclusion
that the Planet Saturn will be an active
mining camp before long.
Mr. Judd is developing a very promis-
ing cinnabar property in the Quartzite
country, the ore of which carries from
4 to 90 per cent quicksilver and 81 per
ton gold. He has on the property 25-
horse power gasoline hoist and has hIs
shaft down l75 feet. He understands
the treatment of cinnabar ore and has
machinery EN- route to the mines to ex-
tract the quicksilver from the ore. The
property is being steadily developed.
Work on the new plant of the Ander-
son Metals Extraction company at Me-
Cabe progresses steadily. There are
still three tanks to build, and pipe line
to lay, which work. can be done in a
month or six weeks. This will be the
first plant of the kind ever constructed.
the chemical method of recovering val
ues being entirely now. The work at
McCabe is being done under the super
vision of Isaac Anderson, Yavapai
miner, who is the inventor of the pro-
cess.
From the Prescott Herald
Jake Marks and the estate of the late
b. NJ, Crawford have just received a
mineral patent to four mining claims in
the Big Bug district. The claims have
been well developed and have good ore
showings.
The Pine Mountain company, owned
by Bacon, Carmichael and associates,
now has the water from the shaft and
will soon begin to sink from the bottom
of the main workings. Mr.. Bacon is
here now overseeing the work. A force
of men will soon be put to work on the
group. The people of Walker are
pleased to see these signs of prosperity
everywhere. The property has been
producer in the past and will be one
again in the future.
Last week S. ]. Bechler, who had
been here in the interest of the Red
man Mining, Milling G. Smelling com
pany, left for New York, where he re-
sides. The gentleman had been here
for two or three weeks, during which
time he was very busy looking after
the preliminary work of getting the
Casper property, bonded by his people,
under way. A force of men was put
to work. The Casper property is well
known by mining men of the McCabe
section, where the former owner, Joe
Casper, is well and favorably known.
Mr.. Casper is recognized as compe-
tent man under ground where minerals
exist. He is now superintendent of de
velopment.
From the Phoenix Gazette.
In recent interview with w. NJ.
Adamson, who visited Jerome after the
accident at the United Verde, he said
''The reports sent out about the cave
in We're greatly exaggerated and within
forty-eight hours after it occurred work
had been resumed. The trouble is in
the surface ground and the one last
month was not the first. The surface
ground is seamy and liable to give away
again. The shaft was slightly twisted,
but the damage was not of very seri-
GUS nature. The foundations in the
power house were put out of plumb,
but by raising the engines they were
soon in condition again. The superin-
tendent at Jerome says the United
Verde mine is in better condition now
than ever before and that in the deep
workings no disturbance has occurred. "
