Arizona Mines


The development work already per formed on the Monarch mine has dem onstrated that it is a mine with a fu- ture, and the stockholders have decided to work it on an extensive scale, says the Journal Miner.
 c. w. Platt, the superintendent of the company, who returned Monday night from the east, has made the third payment. on the purchase price to Mrs Ryland, the amount being $5,150.
 During his trip east, Mr. Platt pur- chased a 30 ton concentrating plant, a Chilean mill. four Wilhey tables, and a 60 horse power engine. The ma chinery is now on the way here, and will be placed in position as rapidly as possible after it's arrival.
 The Monarch Mining and Smelling cOmpany's property is situated nine miles east of Wickenburg. and is more familiarity known as the Three Black Buttes. Its main shaft is down 150 feet. and already there are thousands of tons of ore blocked out, principally low grade, carrying gold and copper values. The showing is so large and gives such indications of permanency that the directors feel warranted in in- stalling the necessary machinery to put the property on a profitable pro- ducing basis.
 MT. Platt has done excellent work iT developing the property, under the new ownership. He is confident that within a year he will have the mine in the ranks of the paying producers.

 That this will be the final outcome is felt for the reason that the people who are interested in the Copper Chief properties. or the Arizona and Mich igan Development company, which is making the most extensive improve ments for active mining in the Johnson camp and who are also interested in the railroad project from DragoOn sta tion to the camp are also stockholders in the smelter company.
 These people, while not saying much, have been quietly putting their prop critics in shape to operate on a large scale and at a big profit.

feet wide. The ore at a depth of five feet shows a gray copper carrying high values in silver From the sur face indications and the development thus far the property is undoubtedly a valuable one. Two shipments of ore have been made since May 1st with good results, even with the eighty mile wagon haul to Phoenix.
 Another copper and gold property, owned by a MT Eaton, distant about four miles north of the Monarch, looks very promising. MT. Eaton will soon begin shipping ore via Salome twenty five miles distant.
 There is also the Venture Mining Co.'S property located about seven miles southeast of the Monarch. This mine is promising one for both gold and copper. A mill is soon to be erected. Water has been developed by this company and also by others who have good claims in the same section.

The ore body is 25 feet wide.

 A shaft is being sunk on the Copper World. It is down 75 feet and all in ore which yields six per cent copper. This shaft will be sunk to the 500 foot level and a cross cut made to connect with the Isle Royal at its 500 foot level.

HUM OF ACTIVITY
 Al SMELLING WORKS
What One Man Saw in a Short Visit
 to Humboldt.

A Prescott Courier employee took a flying trip to Humboldt Saturday. and while not especially in quest of news, picked up the following items:
 About a carload of matte is shipped daily to the refinery in New Jersey; 12S bars, averaging about 400 pounds each, were shipped Saturday.
 It is estimated that the smelter has 10000 tons of ore in the yard. Of. this amount about 18.0OO tons came from the De Sota mine. and there are some 6.O00 tons of Gladstone and McCabe ore. The pile of the latter ore is as long as seven cars and is at least 15 feet deep. There are also hundreds of tons of ore from Copper Basin-from Brow & Murphy and the Edwards Mining company. while a large quan- tity of Iron King ore is consumed by the big smelter every day, it being needed for Aux.

GOLD BASIS GROUP SOLD.
HagIer Gold Go. Formed to Operate
 the Property.

Among the important mining trans actions recently consummated in Pres colt was that of the sale of the well known Gold Basis group of claims To- cated in the Groom creek district, about seven miles south of Prescott, the consideration not being given pub licity. However a heavy payment was made in cash. The sellers were John A. Forbes and T. J. Laird. and the deal was completed by John A. Hagler, a Texas capitalist. With the transfer of this group. says the Journal Miner, the Hagler Gold company was immed- lately incorporated to start the devel- opment of the company, and it is the purpose to begin operations at once.
 The group disposed of comprises a total of eight claims. and are situated
 in Moralby gulch, which lies south of Groom creek. about one half mile dis tant running parallel with the Empire mine about 1900 feet to the west.
 In years gone by considerable prac- tical work has been given the group, at various points, the deepest shaft be- ing down over 300 feet. while the sys- tenn of Assure veins traversing the To- cations has been opened up at inter vals, all showing very favorable min eral bearing evidences. Gold and sil- yer are the metals, the former pre- dominating. Sample tests selected re- gently from the deeper workings and at all points were very gratifying in results, A inches of the vein returning nearly $1OO a ton in gold, while a gen eral sample of six feet showed values of over S1O to the ton in the same metal.
 Conditions are favorable for the inn
 mediate treatment of the ores of the group. A five stamp mill is on the ground. with a standard concentrating | table to handle the sulphides, while ar 1 abundance of wood for fuel and mine | timbers, with water in any quantity 1 available at any season, form on the ! whole a combination of commOditie! | that are essential for the success of tn, l enterprise at an early date.

GOOD COPPER MINES
 IN THE EAGLE TAILS
Brief Reference to a District 50 Miles
 West of Phoenix.

Phoenix, Ariz.. July 21.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- For the past four months l have been doing development work on a property called the Copper Monarch group, own ed by w. J. Bryant of Los Angeles. It is situated in the Eagle Tail noun tains eighty miles west of Phoenix This mine was formerly known as the "Volcanic." Some of your readers may remember an excitement of some twelve years ago when the property was owned by a MT. Lowry who had some sixty or seventy men employed. Though S15O.OOO was spent on the property. and some has been spent since then, the development did not demonstrate anything. Several shafts were sunk to the depth of eighty feet but none of them was on a ledge.
 On March 20 We began a prospecting tunnel which is now in over ITO feet. At 13O feet we crossed a ledge diag- onally. about twenty five feet wide carrying more or less low grade copper ore with some silver and gold. On the hanging wall of this ledge at it's inter- section with the tunnel there was cut a pay streak about two inches wide. We ran a drift following this streak for thirty feet and it has now widened to over two feet. Several tons of ship ping ore have been taken from this drift. If it is continued and a winze sunk a large body of rich ore may be developed.
 The continuation of the main tunnel will cut three more lodges which from the surface indicates widths of twelve, eighteen and thirty feet. Six separate and distinct lodges from two and half to thirty feet wide run east erly and westerly and all carrying high grade ore. There are also several minor lodges and stringers running parallel and diagOnally to the main lodges, carrying good values. One ledge in particular, discovered on the 7th instant by L. R. Chapton of Cal ifornia, is from four and a half to six

WASHINGTON CAMP.
Work Resumed At Pride of the West
 Mine and Mill.

From MT. J. E. Scobey, general man ager for the Pride of the West Mining company, who was a visitor in Nogales the Oasis learns that operations have been resumed at Washington camp. and that it is the intention of the com pany to continue permanently. He has put twenty men to work already. and was looking for others to give employ ment. The first work done will be tow ard working the tailings, the zine in which will pay handsomely to sepa- rate. But attention will be turned to the mines shortly, and after a month or more work will be resumed therein and the reduction plant started again. MT. Scobey stated that in the mines there is a great deal of copper ore which will pay to work at present price of the red metal which would not pay at the prices prevailing at the tune of the shutdown, some years ago, and that the policy of the company will be to realize on the ore in sight and prosecute farther development of the extensive ore bodies. Tine gentleman predicted that within a few months the camp will be more active than ever 1 ofOre. and will have a much larger population. All of which will be for
 the benefit and advantage of Santa Cruz county.
