tance of nearly 500 feet in width the
ore yields returns of per cent copper
near the surface. 1t is thought, and
the limited amount of development done
proves, that the value increases with
depth. The owners, Campbell, Nelis &
Smith Of Ohio, are trying to place the
property with company that has
means to develop in the extensive man
ner IL demands.
Bradshaw Properties
Some of the richest gold producers IN
Arizona are located in the Bradshaw
mountains, near Prescott. Among the
foremost producers Of that section isl
the Lincoln group, owned by Charles
J. George of Los Angeles and asso-
ciates. Mr.. George left for Los An
geies recently, having been at the Lin
coin property for a month superintend-
ing the building of a wagon road from
Crown King to the Lincoln mine, dis
tance of two and one-half miles. The
road was difficult to build, owing to the
rough formation, and cost in the neigh
borhood of $3500. However, It will be
the means of saving a great deal of ex-
pense to the company in the way Of
affordlng better facilities for supplies
and machinery for the mine and mill.
The five stamp mill at the Lincoln
mine will be started about May 25, and
there is sufficient high grade ore block
ed out to keep 1t running steadily for
several years to come. larger en-
gine was installed at the mill recently,
which will furnish more power and en-
able the mill to handle its full capacity
of ore daily. Some additional machin-
cry has also been put in, consisting of
the new improved Frue vanner and a
full equipment of Wiley tables. Plans
are now being outlined by the owners
for the installation of ten additional
stamps, making it a fifteen stamp mill.
The showing of ore in the mine fully
| justifies such enlargement. A force
of about thirty-flve men Is employed
at the mine blocking and taking out ore
which averages something over $50 per
ton. The ore bodies are from four to
five feet in width and all tests show
them to be continuous.
Poland-American Mill
The new mill recently completed by
the Poland-American company, will be
started in a short time and kept busy
during the coming season handling the
ore from the numerous claims owned
by the company. The new plant, which
covers a space 70xS4, has a capacity of
100 tons daily, and the company has
| sufficient ore on the dumps to keep the
mill running steadily at it's full capac-
ity.
The mill is modern in every respect
and built of first class material, every
thing that went into it's construction
being the best. It's battery consists of
four improved Nilsson stamps and two
improved rolls for the soft ore. The
handling of the ore is all done by grav-
ity incurring very little expense. Chas.
j. George Is one of the leading owners
in this property also.
Bonnie Changes Hands
The Mccoy brothers have disposed of
their interests in the Bonnie mine, on
Lynx creek, twelve miles east of Pres
colt, Arizona, to F. E. Evans of New
York, and John Teaze of Brooklyn,
who arrived recently to take possession
of the property. New officers and di-
rectors have been elected and plans
formulated for more extensive develop
ment An up-to-date reduction plant
will be erected soon and the Bonnie
ores treated on the ground. A large
amount of the ore has been treated
during the past year at the Val Verde
smelter with satisfactory results. The
development of this property consists
of double compartment shaft over 200
feet deep, drift from the 100-foot level
running south on the main ledge for a
distance of 500 feet, 70-foot winze
and several hundred feet in cross cuts.
The ore is gold bearing quartz carry
ing considerable hematite, and also
copper, lead and silver The ore body
is between four and five feet in width
