ABANDONED MINE SOLD TO LOCAL MEN WHO WILL
 DEVELOP IT.

With it's shafts and underground workings caved in, almost beyond re- pair, and after it's development has been abandoned for many years, but withal, having an enviablc record as n gold producer, dating back thirty five years, the Emmct mine, in the Mineral Point district. has changed hands. Henry V. Brown, general manager of the Lucky Star mine. in the immediate vicinity, and Robert Burns having pur chased it from k. C. Powers of Los Angeles, their intention being to equip i: with hoisting and pumping machin. cry, at m early date. and resume it's development on n larger scale than was ever attempted by its former own CTS.
 Located on flat in Lonesome Val ley, at the foot of the Black Hills, about four miles from Yaegcr siding, on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad. its rich deposits of gold ore were explored and mined to water level by the early pioneers of the district. who extended its values by the nrastra process to good p'oib'N DI tons of it's high grade ores almost 100 miles to Cave Creek for treatment, it even then paying them handsome profits, after the enormous expense of transportation by wagon was taken in to consideration.
 After water level was reached work was abandoned on 1t until the early 9O's, when n company, of which k. C. Powers was general manager, purchased and equipped 1t with hoisting mnchin. cry and a 7-stamp mill. It's shaft was sunk tO depth of l8O feet and scv. eral hundred feet of levels run, work being later stopped on account of legal complications arising among the stock. holders, when the creditors of the con. cern sold the machinery and equipment of the mine to liquidstc the debts of the company.
 The paystreak in the mine is said to average from two to four feet; n large portion of which samples as high as $9O to the ton, rich deposits being found which assay into the thousands. The ledge is what is called by miners n wet one, 1t being demonstrated when operated last that it produced enough water to supply the demands of n 10. stamp mill. The mine is n patented one and is within easy reach of the railroad station over comparatively level wagon road.

IMPORTANT STRIKE IN HUMBUa
 DISTRICT.
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 News of an important mineral strike reached here yesterday from the Hum bug district, where, 1t is reported on reliable authority, n body of ore, from three and onc.half to four feet in thickness. of an average value of $75 to tho ton. was encountered in the 200 foot level of the shaft being sunk on the Olympia mine. The claim is one of [, group of five locations, covering a large porphyry dyke. about l5O feet in width on the surface, the strike being made at n point where three mineral bearing veins converge, the orc shoot being expected to reach to the surface.
 Tho owners of the group have under consideration the erection of either a 90 stamp mill or n 5O-ton smeltcr, one of which will be decided upon later. wncn the development of tho mine demonstrates which character of rc. duction plant is most suitable to the economic treatment of the ores.
 On account of the location of the district at a distance of fifty miles from the nearest railroad station, Phoe. nix, the development of it's well known rich mineral resources has been ne- glccted for many years until tho build ing of the Humboldt smcltcr made a home market for the ores without the great expense of transportation to the Colorado or Fl Paso smcltcrs. Within the past year, in common with other sections of the county, n great revival has taken place, and in addition to the new find on the Olympia group, other important discoveries have been made engaged in developing their proper. ties.
 NJ. T. Sullivan has a shoot. of sul. phidc ore opened in his mine which samples *l25 to the ton. He is now engaged in getting suplies from Phoe nix before employing force of min CTS to stopc his ore, which he. ha, made arrangements to ship in car load , lots.
 Fred Plumb made a shipment recent ly from his group at the head of Car pentcr Gulch, 75 tons of which sam pied $l60 to the ton.
 4. F. Bird, n St. Louis capitalist, TO gently purchased the Filled Wire group and is making preparations to start I large force of miners in the develop ment of the four claims comprisiog hi, holdings.
 The owners of the Olympia group now have under consideration the pur chase of gas traction engine of l4t hourse power, with 90 tons hauling ca pacity, to afford communication witl the nearest accessible railroad point presumably Phoenix, as we'll as tn, transportation of the product of th' mincS to the railroad and the hauling of supplies to central point in the district within easy rcacn of the diff ferent camps
