YUMA COUNTY PLACERS
Old Ground That Paid the Panner Will
Now Be Dredged

From the Sentinel.
The Arizona Sampling & Smelling
company has been organized for the pur-
pose of establishing an ore sampling
plant in Yuma. A site has been selected
and work on the plant will begin shortly,
as the company expects TO be ready to
receive ore by the lst of July.
Articles of incorporation of the Vic
tor g. Belle Crown Mining company have
been filed with the Yuma county re-
corder by r. X. Mcdonald, w. E. Enos
and John B. Martin, of Harrisburg,
Yuma county. The capital stock is
81, 600, 900 with 100000 shares at 81
each; the greatest liability which may
be incurred being $500, 900. The princi-
pal place of business designated is the
city of Harrisburg, Yuma county, with
a branch office at Buffalo, N. Y.
From the Phoenix Enterprise
Another company has been organized
to work placer ground near Gila City,
composed of San Francisco, Los An
geles and Yuma capitalists. These gold
fields are well known to mining men in
the vicinity of Yuma, having been
worked on small scale by panning for
the past thirty years, during which time,
it is asserted, several million dollars
worth of gold ore has been extracted
They have been worked in recent years
by Mexicans and Indians, who can make
dollar day panning gold, but are
now almost exhausted for working in a
small way, and the new company pro-
poses to work them on such large
scale as TO extract the gold at a mini
mum expense. They propose to take
water from the Gila river and pipe it
from reservoir to the fields The fall
will give great water pressure.
