(From Fridays Daily.)

az am more than surprised at the
wonderful resources of your county"
said William Duke, of Cleveland,
Ohio, to a Journal-Miner representa-
tive yesterday. 81 have just returned
from visit to the properties of the
Lynx Creek Gold company, where
l made a close examination of some
placer ground, and was astOnished at
the result of my tests. "Why," he
continued, "we have millions of tons
of dirt there ready to be treated that
will average better than 50 per ton,
not to speak of the quartz mines now
being opened up which have magnif-
cent surface showing"
'Out of a ton of dirt of which we
made a test we had about 80 pounds
of black sand left which assayed
$s94O to the ton in gold. When one
gets returns of this value out of a
practical test made there can be no
question as to the existence of great
mineral wealth in the ground there.'

RICH FIND IN THE HASSAYAMPA
DISTRICT.
(fTom Fridays Daily

"In running an open cut on a
claim a located a couple of weeks ago
1 struck five feet of this kind of
ORE" said James Chambers, one of the
veteran prospectors and miners of the
Hassayampa district yesterday to a
Journal-Miner man as he exhibited a
large sample of the new find which he
was about to have assayed. The ore
showed copper pyrites and galena,
and was pronounced to be of a high
grade by miners who examined it, and
who are acquainted with the values of
the different ores of the neighborhood
where it was found.
Continuing Mr.. Chambers said that
he had horned some of the rock, and
that he had found in that way that
it carried good deal of gold, but TO
satisfy himself as to the average va
lue of the ledge he had taken large
sample which he would now have as
sayed.
This new find is situated near a pa
tented mine on Stirling creek known
as the Mormon mine. 1t is only about
six miles south of this city, and it ~
said by miners who have examined it
to be the lagest body of ore uncovered
on the surface in that section for
number of years. 1t was found along
side of large porphyry dixie which cuts
the granite country rock of that dis
trict, and which can be traced for a
great distance The tunnel which he
is running on the ledge is now only
% feet in length, being almost on the
surface, and it shows the ore body to
exist the entire width of the tunnel.
Chambers is also working on his
Good Hope mine on the Hassayampa.
He has a carload of ore sacked on his
dump, ready to be shipped at any time,
which is said to be of a very high
grade. He is very reticent when ques-
toned as to his mines or the values of
the ores that he is taking out, but it
is a well known fact that some of the
ore now on the dump of the Good Hope

HUMBOLDT, Nov. S-There is &
steady progress in improvements al
the smelter city.
The heavy storm which visited this
section on Saturday night and Sunday
neeessitated a temporary suspension OF
active operations on most of the con.
struction work in progress, but at pre-
sent every department is moving for
ward with renewed vigor. Two of
the 80 foot stacks for the Sterling
boilers are now in position, and the two
more in course of erection, when COM
pleted, will add much to the substan-
tial appearance of the plant.
The power house is now almost a
completed structure, and the heavy ma
chinery to be installed in this building
is being placed in position. The in
stallation of the large engine is under
the supervision of Mr.. Reed, compe-
tent man, sent out by the manufae-
turers, Norberg and Co., of Detroit,
Mich.
Most of the heavy machinery for the
sampling mill is in place, and a force
of structural steel workers is busily
engaged putting on the corrugated
iron covering on the steel frame of
this model building. The concentrating
mill is running steadily day and night,
the concentrates being stored in tenn
porary bins until the smelter is com
pleted.
Several carloads of ore are arriving
daily from the mines at Middleton, and
it is obviously the intention of the
management to have an adequate sup
ply of good ore on hand by the time
the plant is ready to handle same. The
force of brick masons is now working
on the rooster building, and Mr.. Ed
wards, whose father was the inventor
of the Edwards roasters, which are
to be used here, arrived here on Tues
day to superintend the installation of
same.
The new depot at the smelter spur is
now about completed, and is an i'm
posing and most eommOdious struc-
ture in every respect, which reflects
much credit upon the foresight of the
railroad in erecting such a substantial
building at the site of the future me-
tropolis of this section of Arizona.

FIGHTING FOR THE BRIGHT AN
GEL TRAIL.
(From FridaY,s DailYl

The legal battle for possession OF
the Bright Angel trail down the Grand
Canyon of Arizona is on again. The
suit of Cameron VS.. the Grand Canyon
railway, which means the Santa Fe, is
under advisement by Judge Sloan at
Williams, and the Williams News says
of the latest hearing of the now famous
controversy:
special session of the district
court was held here this week, by
Judge Sloan, commencing Monday and
ending Thursday.
The case heard was R. H. Cameron
vs.. the Grand Canyon railway, being
suit to quiet title.
Cameron located the Cape Horn
mining claim at the head of Bright
Angel trail, and the claim takes in a
considerable portion of the ground of
the railroad company, which they claim
for railroad purposes. Cameron claims
that he had made the first location, and
the railroad claimed a prior right, and
further that there was no mineral on the
claim. A mass of evidence was put
in by both sides and nearly three and
half days were taken to try the
case.
On the last day of the trial evidence
was introduced by the plaintiff show
ing that E. E. Ball, an employee of the
company, had on Monday located the
Cape Horn owe the Cameron location.
There was an array of legal talent
on both sides. H. j. Stevens, of Los
Angeles; E. NJ. Doe, of Flagstaff, and
R. NJ. Ling, of Prescott, epresented the
plaintiff.
T. J. Norton and w. T. Clotfelter, of
Los Angeles, and J. C. Herndon, of
Prescott, were the attorneys for the
railroad company.
Judge Sloan took the matter under
and will rende decision
at later date.
The case of the Grand Canyon ralI-
road company VS.. R. H. Cameron, or
what is known as the "adverse" case,
went over until the April term.

PREPARING TO WORK RICH BODY
OF ORE.
From Thursdays Daily.)


"Our company is a close corporation
and we have no stock for sale,'' said
J. S. johnson, superintendent of the
Copper Queen Gold Mining Co. TO a
Journal-Mi man. 'tI am in town
today" he continued, "to get bids on
a large hosting plant, air compressor
and air drills which we will install on
the property as soon as we can get
it on the ground. We have opened
up in the last few weeks a body of
ore on the $50 level, which is 80 feet
in width, and some of it will sample
as high as $50 or $50 per ton. The
ore is what is known as ehaleopyrites
of copper, carrying gold and silver
values"
Further conversation with him re-
vealed the fact that it is the intention
of his company to erect its own redue-
tion works as soon as the necessary de-
velopment work is done upon the mine
to enable the management to keep a
plant of a good size in continuous op-
Grafton.
The group of mines owned by the
Copper Queen Gold Mining company
is situated in the Aqua Fria district
on the great schist belt that crosses
that part of Yavapai county from
the Black Hills near the mines of the
United Verde Copper Co. to the
Bradshaw mountains at the Great Peck
mine. This belt is cut and crossed
in various places by large pOrphyry
dikes ranging in width from 100 to
300 feet. Many rich deposits of ore
have been discovered along these
dikes, and some of the best mines in
the Big Bug and Aqua Fria districts
are situated either upon or alongside
them.
A good wagon road about Az miles
in length leads to the claims from
Mayer and the Aqua Fria stream
close by insures an ample supply of
water at all seasons of the year.
J. S. johnson has lived number of
years in the Big Bug mining district,
and is thoroughly acquainted with the
mining interests of his section. He
is recognized among mines and mining
men to be a man of good Judgment in
matters pertaining to his line of bust
ness, and has always been successful
in his undertakings.

will sample several hundred dollars to
the ton in gold.
He has lived number of years in
the Hassayampa district, about eight
miles south of this city, and has num-
Der of mining claims there from some
of which very rich gold ore has been
mined. He also has exposed large
amount of ore which can be mined at
a profit as soon as a market can be
had at the new smelter now under con-
structiOn at Humboldt. He thinks
that in the next year or two his dis
trict will be as great a producer as
any in the county when the grade of
ores that would not pay to ship in the
past can now be disposed of at. home
at handsome profit.

TRADES INTEREST IN MINE FOR
HOTEL.
(From Fridays Daily

Yesterday W. S. Conner Of Walker
traded one-half interest in one of his
mines known as the Lambertine to
T. NJ. Earnhart of Kirkland in ex-
change for the Walker hotel, situated at
Walker and the grounds and premises
upon which it stands.
The hotel is a three story building,
which cost about $4,000 to erect; it
contains a large number of rooms, and
is elegantly furnished throughout. The
hotel ground and premises stand on
patented land, and contains many
valuable improvements in the way of
outbuildings.
The Lambetine mine is one of the
Oldest in that section. 1t is known to
have produced a Iage amount of very
rich ore in the early days of mining IN
that camp, but has never been devel-
oped to any great extent below water
level. There is a shaft upon it about
100 feet in depth, in which there Is
a very good body of high grade ore
and other shaIlower shafts which show
the ledge or vein to be continuous the
entire length of the claim. 1t is
situated in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the Pine Mountain mine,
which has attracted much attention Of
late by the opening up of a large body
Of very rich ore, and which is now be-
irg developed by a large force of men.
Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1905-11-15

he stated that this company would
have a plant of 200 tons daily capacity
IN operation on the gound by the lat
ter part of next January, and that the
capacity of the works would be ma
terially increased later in the year
The plant which the company pro
poses to erect is on the grizzly order
fitted with screens that will get rid
of about 60 per cent of the eoarser ma.
terial, leaving about 40 per cent to
be treated by the sluice box method.
1t will be constructed so as to be as
near automatic as possible. The pla-
Ger dirt will be landed on it by scrap
ers, which can be used with economy
on ground of this character, and there
will be no necessity to handle it again
as it will pass through the grizzly,
screens, separators and ore bins until it
reaches the sluice boxes entirely by the
aid of machinery.
The property in which Mr.. Duke IS
company is interested is situated on
Lynx creek, about six miles east of
this city, where the Prescott and Nc
Cabe wagon road crosses the creek.
There are eighteen placer and quartz
claims in the group. A contract for
the sinking of 100 foot shaft was
let yesterday, and lumber for houses,
ore bins and other buildings will be
ordered as soon as estimates are sub
mitted by the lumber companies who
have been asked for figures.
Mr.. Duke also represents the
American Engineering and Reduction
company of Cleveland, Ohio. He is
a man of many years experience in
the mining business, has Travelled ex-
tensively, and is a great observer. He
states that he knows of no reason why
Arizona should not develop and ex-
plot her placer properties in the same
manner and as cheaply as is done in
California. He will list the stock of
his company in San Francisco and
Cleveland exchanges. He thinks that
there is no question as to the success
of the process that he is about to in
stall on his mines as he has thorough
y tested it in a practical way at the
works of his Cleveland company, and
believes that the same, if not better
results, will be obtained from the new
plant when erected and put in opera
ion on the ground.
He left for Phoenix last evening,
rom whence he will go to Ell Paso to
De in attendance at the Mining con-
yress to be held there next week.
When the congress finishes its labors
lie will continue east to Cleveland for
/ short business visit, and will then
'eturn here to superintend the construc
ion of his plant and start it in opera
ion.
