 are placed before him as is being daily demonstrated in favor of this zone.
 Yesterday D. Homer Jennings, the manager of the Senate Mining com pany, arrived in Prescott, and he brought a sample of the ores from tha5 property that simply dazzled those who were fortunate enough to inspect the same. He stated that the samples were taken from a depth of but four teen feet, and that, ,the strike was made a few days ago. The ores shown were principally copper in a bornite form, and aside from their beauty, they carried heavy values in gold anl copper, assays for the latter metal run ming as high as 32 per cent across a vein six feet wide, with gold at $4C per ton, and some silver of nominaI value. This grade of ore was struck at the deepest workings on the proper ty at this particular point in the group. While the shaft that gives these re- markable values was being sunk three stringer veins were cut into on the sur face, but as depth was reached they gra- dually came together, and at the bot tor or fourteen feet from the surface, they converged to one body, and form ed a solid Assure, the sulphide char acted clinging to the footwall and the micacious schist that carries tte free holding on to the hanging wall. This latter grade of ore was not as- saved, the free gold being plainly wis ible to the naked eye, and showing that it was immensely rich.
 The vein that supports this ore body lies in porphyry, and contacts with granite, and so far as developed the vein measures six feet across. To the present time about 125 tons of ore has been taken out, and as soon as the roads are in passable condition a shipment will be made.
 Following this strike the manage ment feel very much elated, and to- morrow the force of miners will be in creased by eight additional men and three shifts placed at work.
 Formerly this group was known as the John Berrie Mining company, but since coming into other hands the name was changed to the Senate Mining company. Their property lies on the eastern side of Lynx creek, distant about twelve miles from Prescott. tt is conveniently situated to the Hum boldt shelter, while wood and water are in abundance to facilitate opera tion on any plan they may adopt for the future.
 Many mining men who have inspect ed this sample lot of the product now being mined from this property, aIr pronounced in saying that it is the best looking lot of ore that was ever taken from any property in this sec tion, and occurring as the discovery does at so shallow a depth, only the more of a revelation is it.
 If this sample lot of ore was dls- played in a Nevada or Colorado town, and an oily manipulator had the hand ling of it, there would be a wild rush to the scene that produced it, and the result would mould a dozen Goldfelds or a Bullfrog or two in the limited time of day and a night. Brt, occurring as this discovery does in section that mines legitimately and practically, the interest IS keenly felt over it, but it is only after all but a matter of fact, | and it is but one of the many excellent shOwings that abound everywhere in the mining field contiguous to Pres colt.
 MT. IS1nings will ship the batch of ore to lis associates in the east today |
