Growing Importance of the Mining In

From the Prescott Journal. Miner
Superintendent J. A. Konley, who
was in the city from the Bannie prop

ore has been made there in the shaft.
He now has force of men at work,
who are developing the lead. The Ban

The Congress Mines companys cya-

The Weeks Mining News as Reported
by the Miner

Work on the lower levels of the Sa-
moan mine is showing up fine bodies of
rich ore.
Burkhardt Brothers are on Burro
creek sampling a number of mining
claims. The property under considera-
ton is said TO be one of the best in that
country, carrying big values in both
gold and silver. The Burkharts have
been engaged in making the examina-
ton more than ten days.
Contracts are about to be let for the
unwatering of the Tennessee and
Schuylkill mines, at Chloride, and a
number Of miners are preparing to bid
on the work. 1t is probable that a
Consolidation Of the mines will take
place and they will all be worked by
the one corporate management.
The Searchlight reports that the
Duplex company has struck ore that
gives assay results of Sl3, 800 to the
ton, and great excitement was caused
IN that camp. The ore is of the wire
gold variety and the quartz is laced to-
gcther with the yellow metal. The mine
has been producing a nice grade of ore
lately.

country that a strike of four feet of

The tunnel being driven in on the claim.
The ore shows for considerable dis
lance in the tunnel, and the owners are
quite jubilant over the prospect for
big output.
Drifts from the crosscut on the IT'S

Oarbal, are showing the ore body to be
very large and apparently permanent.
Inc VEN at that level is quite large

is working two hosting plants on the

HOSTS on the old Hardy properties. In
these properties are interested C. d.

The mines are being opened up in the
best manner possible and it is probable
they will soon be among the producers
of that section.
What is said to be one of the great
est discoveries ever made in this county
is reported from Burro Creek, where a
prospector has found vein of ore that
outcrops from 25 to 80 feet in width
and from which he brought samples of
ore that are literally bound together
with gold. The discoverer stated that
the vein carries big average values in
gold. The mine is close to the Big

dents of that section, but none had ever
thought to prospect it for gold. A
Boston capitalist has gone to the pro-

ing the first few years after the dis

gold was taken from Gold Gulch, Pink

to. 1t is fact not generally known to
mining men that the Clifton Morenci
district was first known for its gold
production, but as the rich copper
mines came into prominence the gold
was lost sight Of, and finally forgotten
except by few old timers. 1t is pass
ing strange that people hunting for
gold mines will not believe that they
can be found in this district.
