miles due west Of Goldfeld in a dis
trict which up to the present has af-
forded no producing mines. AS a re-
suit Of the operations on the Sassy Sal
property. every foot of ground in that
vicinity has been staked and the price
of claims has advanced 100 per cent.
Where claims could readily have been
purchased two months ago at 5000 or
$500 apiece, they are now on sale at
$4,000 to $4,000 apiece.
The surface formation on the Sassy
Sal consists of bold outcrop of quartz
occurring between porphyry and rhyo-
lite walls. The formation in appear
ance is very similar to that on the
famous Jumbo, and the fact that the
dirt at any point near the ledge freely
pans and that values UP to $500 have
been obtained in shallow shafts appar-
emily assures the fact that a rich gold
bearing district Is soon to be brought
into prominence. The development
work on the Sassy Sal property Is
under the direction of January Jones,
feet deep, together with numerous cross
cuts and shallower shafts at various
points along the ledge. BY this devel-
opment work the vein has been traced
for distance of 1900 feet on the prop
| erty and at no point have assays failed
| to materialize.
Among other prominent experts in
the Goldfeld camp who have passed a
favorable opinion upon this property
and others lying near it is Sol Camp,
consulting engineer of the Montgom-
cry mines in Bullfrog and Bullfrog Ma
tional mine at Bulfrog, and who was
superintendent under January Jones in
the development of the great January
strike, which yielded about $1,000,000 in
eleven months.
| The Sassy Sal strike has created
more interest and excitement than any
recent development in the Goldfeld
district Hundreds of claims have been
| staked, and when the companies now
being incorporated to work property in
that vicinity begin active development,
lively scenes are promised in the fall

copper. The tunnel is in nearly fifty
feet and there are indications that the
pay streak will widen as depth is at
tained. There is in sight on the dumps
and in the various workings of the

United Verde Normal
Information has been given out by
the officers of the United Verde Copper
company that the mine is again in it's
normal condition and all the under
ground workings in good shape, Work
is progressing the same as it was be-
fore the recent cave, and there is now
no indication of shutdown this sum
mer The working force in the smelter
is not yet up to it's usual standard, but
is being increased as fast as good men
can be found. This shortage of men is
occasioned by the moving away of
families when the cave in the mine
first occurred, as it was the general
opinion that the mine would be closed
during the summer.
The work of regarding the old road
bed for the SO0-foot level is now in
progress and the trolley wires are being
installed. Numerous other improve
ments are being planned for both the
mine and smelter and their completion
will be effected as rapidly as possible.
