Weaver District Mines.

Weaver district was discovered in the latter part of the seventies and a number of the mine owners for years shipped ores to the mills of Eldorado Canyon and the smelters of Colorado from the grassroots of these mines. Owing to the distance from base of supplies and the scarcity of wood and water the mines were abandoned many years, but recently new discoveries were made and the old mines have been located anew and are being dev- eloped with flattering prospects.
 The New Comstock Con. Mining company recently located the old Jen- nie mine and several adjacent proper ties and has been doing considerable development work. The Jennie was one of the first mines discovered and worked in the district. The discovery was made by Johnny Weaver, after whom the district was named. A son is now living at Chloride. This mine produced many tons or extremely flch silver ore. The surface ore laid in pockets and when a pocket was ex- hausted the miner abandoned the property, which was soon located by another prospector who would soon open up another pocket of ore and then follow in the footsteps of his pre- decessor. The ore from this mine car ried values as high as l,5OO ounces in silver. The present owners are open ing the mine in a systematic manner and it is to be expected that it will be- come one of the best producers in that section.
 Some years ago Monaghan x Mur- phy, in connection with William Brown and a man named Washington, had large number of claims located

Clark Alvord is in from the Canyon where he has been employed in clean ing up the old tailings pile down at the Colorado River mill. These tail ing represent many thousands of tons of ore run through the mill in the days when the cyanide treatment had not been so much as dreamed of. Nor at that time had milling reached its present perfection. The amount of the cleanup could not be learned, but it is safe to say that it was very large one.-Nevada Searchlight.

one of the best known mining experts of Colorado, stated to the writer many times that he believed White Hills would become one of the greatest pro- ducers of rich ore in the territory were the mines properly handled. His desire was to sink deep prospecting shaft near the G. A. R. mine and from this shaft cut all the veins in the camp. This shaft was to be sunk to a depth below the surface formation and into the permanent formation of the district. The veins are rather flat, the shaft on the Occident being SSO feet on the incline and less than 400 feet perpendicularly, while the other veins have still less pitch. A deep shaft would undoubtedly prove the salvation of the camp.
 The Root company sold the group of mines to an English company, the re- puted price being l,750,OO0S. This company expended more than a mill ion and half of dollars without get ting results. The entire sum was practically thrown away. A forty stamp mill was erected without hay ing more than 800 tons of ore blocked out in the mines; a wooden pipe line, of seven inch diameter, was laid seven miles to a spring capable of furnishing about one thousand gallons of water daily; great reservoir built on the hill above the Norma mine that burst open when a small amount of water was pumped into it, and other incon- veivable extravagances were indulged in. In this manner little was done on the mines, the expenditure of mon- ey being devoted to trihing things of no benefit to the properties whatever. After working the mines for few years the company shut down work and later suit was filed against it by the Root people and judgment ob- tained for about 26,OOOS and later sold under execution and bid in by the plaintiffs. It is now owned by R. T. Root and David Moffatt.
 To the east of the main belt are sev- eral large deposits of gold bearing ore, but as yet no work has been done on them.
 North of the town A. l.. McKesson and associates of the North Star min- ing company, have a group of mines that have produced considerable ore. Lately several tons were shipped from the property that netted nearly 2OOs to the ton.
 There are several promising pros poets in the section north of White Hills, but owing to the scarcity of fuel and water little has been done on them. Should work be resumed on the White Hills mines prospectors will be enabled to go into the section be- tween camp and the Colorado river, where it is rumored rich float rock was discovered several years ago.

Ark and San Antonio.

East of the tracks of the Western Railway of Arizona and distant about five miles from the station of Mineral, are the mines of the Ark and San An tonic mining company. These mines are equipped with hoist and forty ton milling plant. The vein in the Ark is quite large and on it a shaft has been sunk to a depth of POO feet. Drifts have been run off on the vein both north and south and fine bodies of good grade ore opened up. From the surface of both the Ark and San Antonio mines thousands of dollars worth of rich gold and silver ores were taken and sold to mills and smelters.

Undoubtedly with depth these mines will become producers of copper, as well as gold and silver. At the lower depth sheets of copper appear in the tale seams, while the ore also carries values in the metal. The mines are among the best of the many rich prop critics of the country south of Mineral Park. It is necessary that a deep shaft be sunk on the mines and the big ore bodies opened up.

in the section near the Mocking Bird. These veins were blankets, but the ore bodies were of fairly good size and the ore rich. An attempt was made to mill the ore on the Colorado river, but for some cause the attempt was aban- doned. The mines were known as the Eagle and Golden Eagle groups. It is believed that the claims will be found rich when new owners take them up and work them on proper scale.
 Charles Gracey worked a mine at Virginia camp, for Joseph Wharton, known as the Klondike This mine has a great body of ore in its outcrop and recent work has demonstrated that it goes down. The mine will be developed to a considerable extent this winter and it is hoped that a holster will be put in and shaft sunk to depth that will demonstrate the conditions of the veins of the district at depth. Surrounding this claim are others owned by Will Cook and others. Near it are the Ramrod and others owned by Frank Rockefeller, brother of the oil magnate. This mine is said to be one of the best properties in the county.
 The Mocking Bird group, recently sold to the Mocking Bird mining com pany by Gaddis & Perry, is among the best gold properties in the county. Many shafts have been sunk on the mines by the present owner and every where rich gold ore has been opened up. The veins are very flat, but the ore bodies are from two to six feet in width, the average being fully five feet. A force of men are now at work on the property and under their intell- igently directed work the mines are proving up wonderfully. J. D. Jordan is superintendent of the property and under his management it is expected that big milling plant will be put in and the ores reduced on the ground.
 The district is we'll mineralized, but owing to the lack of water close to the mines prospectors and miners have been handicapped in the work of dew elopment. With deep work on the mines it is expected that water in quantity will be developed and then milling plants will be put in to handle the ores cheaply. That water can be had close to the surface is evidenced at the Alger-Toby mine, where w. H. Hall has encountered quite a How at q depth of about sixty feet. This mine was discovered only about eighteen months ago and the ores from the out crop created some excitment. Speci- mems exhibited in Kingman at the time were peppered with grains of course gold. At a depth of about thirty feet the ore grew leaner, but at the present depth the ore is said to be far richer than on the surface. Near this mine are the properties of the Great West company. These mines have veins of high grade ore and have been opened to a depth of about 200 feet. Water was found in the mines, but not sufficient for milling purposes. A cyanide plant was put in and an effort made by the company to handle the ores. Little was accomplished, but it is expected that this year an effort will be made to reopen the mines and start up the mill.
 The district is worthy of the atten- tion of the prospector and miner and this fall and winter will see many men at work there.

The Commonwealth mine of Pearce has asked the government for 5000, 900 feet of mining timber, to be taken from the Chiricahua forest reserve. The request will be granted. This means another saw mill for Paradise Twenty-Five men will be employed at the start, receiving altogether, in wages, approximately 2,5OOs per month. The Commonwealth's operations in the reserve will last several years. Work is expected to begin in about six weeks.-Wilcox Range News.

Whole Region Back of Cook Inlet Naturally Tributary
 to This Town.
BEST POST FOR OUTFITTING
Growing Production in YSntRa At tracts Attention there and
 to Other localities.

Three mining districts toward which the attention of mining men is now turned are naturally tributary to Sew ard and more accessible from it than from any other direction.
 These three districts are the Vent na, which is already assured of a gold output for 1906 as large as the Panama yielded: in 1903 the upper Kuskokwim, where a small number of proSpectors went last winter from Nome, and to which two steamer loads started with their outfits from Seattle early this summer to go in by the river, 1000 miles long: the upper Susltna and it's branches, lying south of Broad pass, on the southern slope of the range which bounds the Panama basin.
 Everywhere throughout all these districts gold colors have been found near the surface and on every creek where primitive mining has been done wages or more have been taken out by the prospectorS. Experienced mining men do not need to be told that it would be without precedent in gold mining if this wide dispersion of sur face gold should prove to exist without extensive deposits at bedrock and ire quent occurrence of bonanzas.
 By the crudest mining methods one little group of creeks at the head of the Kahiltna river in the Yentna dis trict will be made to yield this year at least $5O,OOO, and the output may greatly exceed that figure, in the opinion of miners who have just come out, because each month increases the rate of production. Sporadic work on other creeks will add many thousands to the total of the Yentna district, which may approximate $lOO,OOO for the year.
 This mining development means a great influx of miners and prospectors into the Yentna, the Kuskokwim and the Susitna the coming fall, winter and spring. Seward offers the only practicable winter route to these gold districts and from this town nearly all the outftting should be done.

Track Terminus of Railroad To Be Extended Again Within
 Fifteen Days.
BORE ON 4O NEARLY FINISHED
Expected That Long TreStIe and Heavy Rock Cut Viii Be Com
 pIeted by November l.

Tunnel one, on mile 49 of the rail- road will be bored within ten days. The heading, or upper halfof the bore, showed daylight last Sunday after noon. The bench, or lower half, is not far behind and the long bore of nearly 700 feet will soon be finished. Tim bering follows closely and with the completion of the outside cut at the south portal the tunnel will be ready for the rails.
 Track can be laid through the tunnel by September b. The present term mus, to which the transfer station was moved two weeks ago, is 47.6 miles from Seward. The north end of tun- nel is a mile and a half from the present rail terminus. At the end of the dump made with rock from the tunnel the track must stop for a month and a half until the long, high trestIe is built just beyond. This trestle will have siXty-Seven bents of twenty feet each, or a total length of l34O feet, and it's extreme night will be l6O feet. Tunnel and trestle are on a l4-degree curve throughout their length, except that the former begins and the latter ends on q spiral which graduates the approach to the maxi mum curve.
 This long trestle and the deep rock cut mile beyond it, which A. D. Me Innis is making under a sub-contract. will require the months of September and October. The trenches for the mudsills of the trestle are all dug and the foundation timberS are going in. Good progress has been made on the rock cut also and November I is fixed as the probable date when rails can be laid past both around to the loop on mile 5l. Two long trestles are to be decked there, but the delay to track laying in each case will be only few days.
 A bridge is to be constructed across the Placer river at the approach to the second tunnel, near the end of mile 52, and that will be the last check to tracklaying until the rails extend through all the seven tunnels down to the Placer valley on mile 54. This should be reached before the end of November. Grading is completed on much of the line between tunnel 1 and tunnel ?, which are three and one-half miles apart, and is being pushed steadily on the unfinished portions, so that no delay will be experienced on that account.

czar in Dread of Violent End

St. Petersburg, Aug. 2S-On account of the prevailing reign of assassina- tion the ear is panic-stricken, and believes that his own death is near. He refuses to see anyone outside of his immediate family. Half the servants employed in the imperial palace have been discharged because they were not above suspicion. Some of them had been in the household service for many years. More than dozen secret arrests have been made in the palace of persons suspected to have de- signs upon the life of the ear.
 It is believed that a military dicta- torship will soon be established as the ministry and police seem powerless to cope with the present crisis.

BRINGS BIG COMPRESSOR
 FOR READY BULLION MINE
o. n. Sleeper Arrives and Work on Copper Property Will Be Pushed
 by Machinery

O. Fl. Sleeper of the Ready Bullion copper property on Lynx creek came to Seward on the steamer Oregon bringing forty horse power air com pressor to drive the drills in the tun- nel which the company is running to cross-cut the ledge. The compressor and other equipment were transferred to the Toledo to be taken to Sunrise.
 The compressor will be driven by water power. A pipe line 4OOO feet long was put in two years ago and carries a stream sufficient to drive heavy machinery. The pipe is eigh- teen inches in diameter at the intake, graduated to eight inches at the mine.
 Hand work has been proceeding steadily in the tunnel all winter, spring and summer, under the direc- tion of Superintendent Nate White. When the compressor is installed, Mir, Sleeper says, ten feet per day can be driven.

BUILDING NOME RAILROAD
Seward Peninsula Line Will Soon
 Run Trains to KOugarok

Nome is doing some active railroad building, according to the Nugget of July "A, which says:
 "The Seward Peninsula railway is being rapidly pushed toward the upper end of Salmon lake, and will be com pleted toward the lower end in about week. The trains will be running to Bush station tomorrow morning. Bush river station is five miles north of River station. River station is seven miles north of the old Ex station. Ten days later the trains will be running to Darling creek station, at the mouth of Buffalo creek.
 Contractor Morris has 400 men grading and laying rails. Forty-five horses are on the ground at work. The Morris company has built two river boats. These are regular river tow-boatS. They will be used for hauling freight for the grading camps from the head of Salmon lake, down Pilgrim river, twenty-three miles-a total distance of thirty miles.
 "The bridges on the road have been completed two miles in advance. Two new engines have arrived from the outside, and two more are being brought in. These engines are of heavier make than those hitherto used in this district. Twenty cars have also arrived, and sixty more are on the way.
 "The Seward Peninsula railway of fcials expect to have the line through to the Kougarok and trains running by October 12."

SAY LAKE Is ALL RIGHT
Creek More Difficult to Work Than
 Others but Has the CoIOrs.

J. E. O'Reilly and G. G. Percival, who have just come down from Lake creek, express the belief that it will be all right in time although only the bars car be worked by hand. On most claims hydraulic machinery will be necessary to move the gravel profta- bly,. Nevertheless O'Reilly estimates that pick and shovel men will get S5OO0 from the bars this summer.
 O'Reilly spent some time on the up per Kahiltna and figures the creeks he visited at a yield of $3O,O0O to S40,0O0. He did not go to several producing creeks and does not include them in his estimate.
