 mechanical department. The mill is
 one of the finest on t. @ coast, every
 conceivable late im improvement and con
 venience having been put in. The com bination process iS used, the pulp being run over amalgamators first and
 then going to the cyanide tanks. In
 this way the greater part of the values in the ores is saved.
 The Blue Ridge mill is running steadily. At the mine sinking is being carried on and great flow of water
 has been encountered, which furnishes
 sufficient for all mill purposes.
 The Pasadena, one mile north of the
 Blue Ridge, has just installed new and larger pumping plant to handle the water at the 20O level
 At the Victor and Virgin camp, on the summit of the divide between the German American and Blue Ridge, at a depth of 110 feet, they are raising four thousand gallons of water. The mines are proving up wonderfully and the future of the property i- very
 bright. At the 100 levels in the two shafts the veins are much larger than on the surface. There are eight full claims in the group, lying parallel with the Blue Ridge and about mile south of that big vein. Mrs. Laura " Suy. der, of Kingman, owns claim on the vein, and H. P. Ewing owns two, on one of which he is now sinking a shaft. This vein, like the others, is improving with dep b. The croppings of the vein on the Ewing claim is fully fifty feet wide, all ore.
 R. J. Holmes is having all his prop. critics surveyed for the purpose of pat enting. He has nun Der of claims in close contact with the Victor and Vir gin. besides those in the Silver Greek section.
 The district is full of mining engi neers and experts looking for favorable prospects on favorable terms.
 We do not believe that there is any where in Arizona, within radius of three miles, as there is from a point near the Pasadena as center, where there are fifteen hoisting plants rni ming continuously with three shifs ., all sinking, and three gold mills run. ming night aud day, turuiug out great bars of gold bullion weekly, as it is in the San Francisco district. The in. dispntable fact that every single vein or prospect that b been developed to a greater depth than 10J feet has greatly improved in values, has given mining men, who follow miuing as legitimate business, and not for stock jobbing purposes, confidence in this section that canses the unpreceden, ed push and determined following of the big true Assure veins into the bowels of mother earth. The formation of this section itself gives assurance of permanency. The entire region from Boundary Cone to Silver Creek and from the western base of the volcanic Blue Ridge range to the lowest ontcrop toward the Colorado river, a section twelve miles north nd south and six miles east and west, is true porph5ry, which is we'll known to be an eruptive rock. And traversing this immense region are great Assures extending for miles, filled with more recent DOT phyry formation, in which occur the mineral bearing veins of quartz and | calc spar. Every theory of geology and mineralogy will be compelled 10 recognize the true ana permanent fis | sure character of such veins. And fer those who doubt. there are some eigh or ten shafts down deep enough 10 show the permanency and i'm prove ment in each with depth. And now, that water in abundance has been de- veloped in so many shafts, and trans. portation facilities are SO improved | over former years, there seems noth. ing to prevent this wonderful and long despsed district from becoming the greatest gold producing section of the | United States. The furt her fact | of there being no change in the free milling character of the ore below he water level gives the district an added | value. The rock contains absolutely no bases.
