DEVELOPMENT or FULLER
 GROUP.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 ties upon which development work has been recently inaugurated, and which give promise within a very short time of ranking among the large producers, may be mentioned the Fuller group of Iniacs in the Squaw creek district, re. gently purchased by the White Horse Mining company.
 Despite the isolation of the district from railroad communication, these aines have from time to time produced . large amount of high grade orc, work being later discontinued when the wat. CT level was reached. and the ores gave indication of changing 10 sulphides.
 The new concern which lately ac- quircd the property is under the man arcment of the Manhattan Securities company of New York, with T. F.. Campbell as general manager, who is conducting the operations in miner like and scientific way with view of getting the mine in shape for economic operation on pretentious scale.
 After his return from the property yesterday. MT. Campbell in conversa. ton with a Journal. Miner man. said: "Our underground operations are at present confined to running No. ? tunnel ahead to connect with No. shaft a distance of 200 feet farther vest along the vein. The shaft is now l27 feet in depth, and the tunnel will tap the vein at a depth of 1ss feet be- low the bottom of it. From this shaft, which is known as the Redmond shaft, some of the best ore ever found in the mine was taken in 1898 by Colorado miners, who had a lease on the ground. The pay streak in the tunne, is now five feet in width. and samples on the average sl2 to the ton in gold. In addition to this and associated with the paystreak four-inch vein of Sul. phide ore was recently uncovered which gives returns of sl3O to the ton in gold. and which appears 10 be widen ing out as the tunnel Is being advanced ahead. Since encountering this sul' phide ore there has been q considerable increase in the water In the tunnel. but not enough to interfere with the work. The water can bc used to grent advan' tare later, when work on the mine is far enough advanced to commence the treatment of tho ores at the mill. !"
 "This is the first water of any con. seoaenec ever struck in the mine, and coming as it does with the appearanes of the sulphide ores, is n good indica ton that the suiphide streak Is per mnnent one, and that the vnlucs will he much greater and more constant he low the water level"
 "t is tbe policy of our company he further said, "to commence tho treatment of the ores at the mill a, soon as the mine is developed far en ough along 10 allow of systematic min tnx without interference with the de veiopment of the mine in moder' way''
 ''We have just completed six mill stretch of wagon road connecting th' camp with the Copper creek road, whicl leads to Mayer by the Horsesho ranch on the Agua Fria, and have sev eral teams engaged in hauling mininl timbers from Mayer for use in th mine.'
 The Fuller mines are situated ol Squaw creek, about thirty miles sout of Mayer, which is the nearest acce, sible railroad station. A ten stam mill, with amalgamating tables an concentrators, constitutes the principa equipment, which is connected with tn mine by n gravity tramway about goo feet in length. The plant is favorabl situated in relation to the mine, fo economical management and operatio of both, the gravity system being use in the transportation of the ores frol the stopes to the mill without unnecei sary and costly handling. An abun' ancc of water reaches the mill frol the Eagle springs, three'quarters of mile distant, through 3-inch pipe, tl only drawback to the place being il distance from railroad transportation.
