Mining Rooms in Hassayampa
 District.

HASSAYAMPA DISTRICT, April 8,
 Special correspondence to the Jour
 nal Miner) Not for several years has
 the Hsssayampa mining distIic shown
 such evidences of prosperity as at the
 present time. In addition to the old
 properties, all of which are expected
 to be in operation in the next thirty
 days, number of the less developed
 mines will be energetically operated
 during the year. Life is everywhere
 in evidence and there is no legitimate
 excuse for anyone who really wishes
 employment to be idle.
 The Mt. Union Consolidated has ac-
 complished a great deal during the
 past two years and while it is true
 that they have made no noise and the
 public have heard only an occasional
 mention which crept into the local
 papers, yet in that time they have converted promising prospects into large and we'll developed mines. This company is just completing a magnifi cert mill of one hundred tons daily capacity with arrangements for doub- ling the capacity at a later date. This big plant will start up within few days and will be turning out the mon- ey metal from the many thousands of tons of ore blocked out in the mines and ready to be reduced to commer- surveyed from the Prescott and East ern, a distance of about three miles and which will reach the Mt. Union and neighboring properties, giving them cheap facilities for incoming supplies and freight and for forward ing ore and concentrates to the smelt- CTS.
 A short distance north of the Nit. Union, the Gold Copper company are getting ready to start development on a large scale. This property has strong evidences of becoming one of the big mines of the district; in fact, the ore developed at this time more than justiiies the .large amount of money to be expended as per the plans adopted. Prospect shafts and tunnels have opened up large and very rich veins sufficient to warrant permanent work and the management will im- mediately begin the sinking of their new double compartment working shaft and will continue it to a depth of five hundred feet. They expect to accomplish this and run drifts on the vein at each hundred feet, by next October. When this is done they should have.a producing mine that will quickly return the money invest | ed. The commercial conditions at | this property, are most excellent, there being plenty of water and timber on | the ground, with very good roads and | tue hrauch railroad above referred to | is surveyed to cross one of their ] claims. While the Gold Copper con- | pony is new corporation the claims it owns and which it but recently ac- lsired, have been worked for several years by prospectors who located hem. Your correspondent under stands that the leading stockholders in his company are all men of high standing and that they have at con- hand ample means for carrying out successfully the development and equipment of the mines. Those am acquainted with personally, 1 know to oe men who make things succeed. They are experienced and capable and hey certainly have fine property 1ne that should be success.
