Gold Ore Shipped
The Ash Peak mines, near Duncan,
Arlz., which have been shut down for
the past few years, will soon begin op-
Grafton with full complement of men.
A carload of ore, taken from the dump
without asserting, was recently
shipped, which brought returns of $S7
In gold and silver, and 1t is expected
that the entire dump will average as
we'll In addition to this there is con-
siderable high grade ore, which will
bring the average UP higher The mines
are about eight miles to the westward
of the A. & N. M. railroad and are
reached by a good wagon road.

mining strike in the Dry Lake district
In San Bernardino county. Mr.. Diley
states that vein of ore has been en-
countered in the Golden Chief mines
that will run 5000 to 5000 per ton. The
Golden Chief is principally Pasadena
concern, A. e. Vesper being the presi-
dent of the company Several months
ago 1t was organized to take over the
properties of the Gold Pin Mining and
Milling company, and territory of the
company embraces about thirty claims

Rich Ledge Found
N. r. Knickerbocker, formerly mill
man for the Yellow Aster mine, has
gone into partnership with two men
named Miller and Hancock, in a mining
proposition in Holcomb valley, over
which they are very much enthused.
The three men are practical miners.

Mexican Mine Sold

of Bacoachi is one of the biggest
mines ever opened in the state of So
nora. The ledge measures fifty-six feet
across and the values are most surpris-
ing for ledge of this size. 1t is a
silver proposition, carrying good values
in gold and copper. From all the as
says ever taken of the ore the lowest
general assay has paid $46 and the
highest $4,000 to the ton. These values
are most surprising for mine the size
of the Veta Grande, There have all
ready been immense bodies of ore un-
covered, and this property is no longer
prospect but big, rich mine.
Mr.. Finch has recently been nego-
