work on the Senator mine, located
twelve miles south of Prescott, IN
Hassayampa district
The tunnel on this company's prop
critics at that point is now i'm 1900 feet.
and this tunnel will be driven 600 feet
deeper to tap the ledge on the Ten
Spot claim. There Is a welI-equipped
modern stamp mill ON the property.
The Commercial Mining company is
one of the strongest, as well as one OF
the most successful mining companies
In the southwest, and II is certainly
matter Of public congratulation that
they intend to resume operations on
their properties AT Senator. For some
years past the company has been
quietly buying UP claims which adjoin
the Senator group, thus showing that
they had plenty Of faith in the mineral
richness Of that section.
New Mil Tests
The Central Consolidated Mining
company has purchased the Assist
quartz mine, which adjoins its prop
erty at Banner. The money will be
paid today. The Assist has never been
worked extensively, though flattering
returns have been obtained from the
assay and mill tests. Assay tests
averaged over $50 per ton, while ore
taken out while active mining opera
tions were under way, yielded slightly
over $50 per ton when milled. The
property has lain idle for years, but
since the resumption of work at the
old Greenhorn and Central claims its
value became apparent, as 1t is situat-
ed on an extension of the main lodges
ducing rich ore. The purchase of this
claim gives the Central Consolidated
an immense tract of ground and fur
nished it with ledge matter of known
value that cannot be worked out in q
lifetime.-Grass Valley Union.
Frank MCGEE of Denver, who bond
ed the Shutdown quartz mine in Vir.
ginia Bar mining district for $4,000
from Mr.. Kelley and DR.. Rockey, is
so well satisfied with the claim that
the money has been paid down by his
company. The ledge is located on
Dutch creek, and will be operated on ar
extensive scale in the near future by
putting UP a mill and machinery. This
mine is in a rich paying section of the
klamath river region.-Yreka Journal.
A good five-foot ledge has been found
in the end of the long lower tunnel of
the Cherry Hill quartz mine at Cher
ry Creek, and as far as prospected
promises to yield rich returns.-Yreka

Amador County Mining
The Amador Dispatch says that it
sounds well to the passerby to hear
the mill on the Argonaut mine pound
ing away on ore that is sure to yield
literally of the precious metal. 1t was
no lack of ore or confidence in the
merits of the mine that caused it to
shut down about two years ago. A
lawsuit then pending between the Ken
nedy and Argonaut as to the exact
boundary line, etc, was the primary
cause After a decision favorable to
the mine was given, the labor troubles
were taken into consideration by the
promoters and the time for resuming
operations were somewhat delayed. We
now expect to hear of the Argonaut
taking it's place again with the fore
most of the dividend producers.
The Treadwell property, after being
closed down for four months, and all
differences between employers and en-
ployes satisfactorily adjusted, has been
started up again by the owners with
renewed vigor. A new superintendent
has been employed and development
an extensive scale. All who have
worked on this property speak flatter-
ingly of it's merits.
Superintendent Aiken says the pros
poets of the Climax are very encourag-
ing. The ore shoot has been worked
longest continuous ore body met with
on the eastern tier of mines. Consid
erable coarse gold is obtained from the
batteries at every cleanup. The ANAL
gam has surrendered from Sc to So per
ounce. Even with a two-Stamp mill,
the mine has been able to pay it's way
and leave a surplus for betterments.
1t is contemplated to enlarge the mill
ing capacity to at least ten stamps
when the ledge in the lower level now
being opened is fairly developed.
The Central Eureka increased her
regular scent dividend again in De-
cember, and the directors have de-
clared a cents per share dividend,
or $2SO00 in ALL The stockholders of
the Central are a fortunate people.
They not only have good property,
but the management is of the best and
the output of the mine over and above
actual running expenses is distributed
among them regularly each month.
