The Douglas street railway viii
soon be converted into a trolly sys
TEN, at an additional expenditure Of
$3.50, 900.
Douglas is to have a new hote
which will cost 100000. 1t will be
named the Gadsden. in honor of the
man who made the treaty with Mex
leo which secured for this country
the land usually known as the Gads
den purchase.
Sam Carbon came in from his gold
and copper properties in the Saddle
mountain district last week. He
says his prospects are showing up
some fine gold ore and that the dis
trict generally is looking good. He
has taken out Il shipment of high
grade gold ore, but has been unable
to get it to the railroad on account
of the recent rise in the Gila river
Florence Blade.
The plans for the new Library
building for Bsbee will be one of the
finest structures in the southwest,
both from an interior and exterior
point of view. Three stories high,
the new building will be situated in
the most commanding part of the
city. Inside it will be planned in
such d manner as to be convenient
and commodious, every detail being
one of modern methods. 1t will cost
$50, 0,000.-Review.
C. A. Romadka returned last week
from the FL Globo mine in Sonora.
Mr.. Romadka says the new stamp
mill has been in operation since
March 9th and that 40 tons of ore
per day are passing through the mill.
The ten-stamp mill is running day
and night and there is good and sat
isfactory results being obtained.
The Ell Globo people have been stead
lily developing this property for some
four or five years, and it is now con-
sidered one of the permanent pro-
ducers of Sonora.-American.
1t is quite probable that the big
dumps of ore at the American Flag
mine will soon be shipped to the
smelter Samples from the dumps
gave the values for hundreds of tons
to be about "A ounces silver and so
gold. This ore will net a profit at
the smelter and as there is no as
sorting to be done there is no reason
why it should not be shipped. In the
mine there are large bodies of this
grade of ore that can be broken
down at very small cost. The mine
also has high grade ore bodies and
once work is begun on it much ore of
a high shipping value would be OBJ
tanned. The mine is only about sew
enteen miles east of Kingman,
good road being within two miles of
it.-Kingman Miner.
Things are moving rapidly toward
the making of a thriving mining
camp in the Copper mountain dis
trict. w. A. Bowles returned from
Los Angeles last week, having COM
pleted a deal by which the ''Balsz
Group of copper gold claims is
transferred to the Mohawk Copper
company, which will shortly inaugur-
ate vigorous development work on
the property. Mr.. Bowles and his
associates, Joe Balsz and r. A. Nc |
Pherson, retain substantial interest
in the cla inns, which have heretofore
been described in these columns. |
The Mohawk company has ample |
capital and expects to put the prop
erty in the producing class in short |
order. The prospects are good for |
another big mining camp tributary
to Yuma very soon.-Sentinel.
G. d. Pickering, superintendent of |
the Yucca Cyanide NJ. & M. COM
pany, was in Kingman last week.
He reports that the new compressor
has been installed at the San Fran
cisco mine and that three drills are |
now at work The drifts on the 400 |
and 600 levels are being driven ahead |
in rich ore. On the 600 the ore body
carries big milling values. In the old
works are thousands of tons of ore
that will be shipped to the smelter
without dressing up, the values being
in lead carbonate and gold. The ore
from the deep levels is a sulphide,
carrying some free gold. The gold
amalgamated on plates, while the
sulphides are concentrated. 1t is
thought that an auto road wagon
will be put on to do the hauling be-
tween Yucca and the mine. A num-
ber of the members of the company
are expected here from the east in a
few weeks, and it is probable that
many improvements will be made
after the property has been in
spected. Miner.
