The following taken from the Pres.
colt Journal Miner. will be Of inter
est to many local people:
3. e. Breed, former owner Of the
Mount Union Consolidated. mines. who
disposed Of his holdings a fortnight
ago, has received from Pref e. g. Lin;
demann, one Of The most noted geoi.
ogists Of the west, a letter which
speaks Of the Mount Union mining dis.
trict, twelve miles south Of this city,
in glowing terms.
The letter, in full, follows:
"Mr. E. E. Breed, Mount Union Dis
trict, Prescott, Arizona.
envy dear Sir: A friend Of mine,
who has been near Mount Union min.
ing district, or rather at the Senator
mine, informed me that you and others
are beginning to open this valuable
mining district. In 1902, about July,
I recommended said district for capital
investment. You have rendered me
and said district great service
through your Undertaking to open the
ground, and I, am aware that you will
verify the statements l made then and
now make that the Mount Union dis
trict will be one Of the best mining
districts in Arizona, II not in the west.
There is no more reliable formation in
the United States or elsewhere, which
has better Indications Of gold and rare
metals, than is shown at the Mount
Union district for more than thirty
miles, from the Senator mine to the
northeast, and to the southwest west
Of the Senator mine, between six and
eight miles in width from due east to
west. This is the best mineral zone In
Arizona. have no interest in your
districts, but hope to live long
enough to see said district produc-
ing institution; as it ranges, in my
opinion, just as high as any OF the
best mining districts in Colorado to-
day.
providing you can attract honest
investors, and keep out the so,called
promoters, which call throat-cutters,
and organize one solid company, and
give, IL necessary, 40 per cent. Of your
holdings to good, honest concern, you
will erect a monument to yourself and
Arizona that will always stand a re-
hinder of your good efforts in the
past.
Wishing you success, remain,
"Yours sincerely,
"E. c. LINDEMANN,
Boulder, Colo"
Mr.. Breed states that his own OBJ
seryatfons confirm the opinion of Prof
Iindemann, and adds that few mining
districts carry the commercial miner
ais in so great variety, gold, silver,
lead, zinc, copper, antimony, cobalt,
,,o,eI sulnhur cinnabar, molyde-
mum, and trace of plantinum being
found in or near the district, most, II
not all, of the minerals named being
found in paying quantities. "All we
need" says Mr.. Breed, lis money to
nay for digging them out"
The Juanlta Mining and Milling Co,
of which Mr.. D, Al Seaman, OF Phoe'
nix, is president and w. c. Miller, for
nerly of Fairmont, is vice president,
is situated almost in the center of the.
territory described in the above letter
and has eleven full claims all ofwhlch
are well mineraIized and ttmbered.
Several hundred feet Of tunnel work
has been done on one Of the lodges
and with depth under surface and dis
lance in the ore values have increased
and the ore body enlarged many times
the size of the surface outcroppings'
A shaft is now being sunk on the larS'
est ledge of the claims, known as the
Tom and Dick ledge, and is at present
down about ninety feet. This ledge
shows a surface outcropping Of over
six feet.
The territory mentioned above Is
not far from Mayer and only four miles
from the terminal of the Poland road
from which a narrow gage rail is TO
be run, making this territory a nat.
ural feeder for the Rigby and Humboldt
smclters.
