REGION is RICH IN MINERAL

According to Charles Briscoe, pioneer
in the Freiburg district, fifty miles west
erly from Phoebe, New, that rich mineral
region is now causing big operators to sit
up and take notice. Mr.. Briscoe came up
from camp to consult with some of his
business associates here, and to pilot
party of operators from Pittsburg to
camp. The party pulled out last night,
but names of the visitors were not re-
leased A number of St. Paul men are
down there now and Mr.. Briscoe states
that men from all over the country are
getting in. The construction of the San
Pedro road from Caliente to Phoebe and
the assurance that the line will be ex-
tended into the Bristol district is stimu-
lating all kinds of interest in the Fret
burg region, and those familiar with the
rich mineral resources of the district de-
clare that, by next year, enough evidence
OF tonnage Will have been accumulated
to cause the railroad company to extend
its line to Groom and Freiburg.
North Yakima Crowds Holdings.
Mr.. Briscoe and his associates own six
groups of claims in the district embrac-
ing no less than sixty locations. Four of
these have been turned over to operating
companies, some Of which are already
making the fur fly in the way of devel-
opment, while others are getting ready.
The Tri-Metallic Mining & Development
company has two shafts down to depth
of nearly 100 feet. and the North Yakima,
Wash. combination that controls the
proposition is backed by all the means
necessary to carry into effect any plan of
campaign for the future that may be de-
cided upon. One of the shaft workings
has developed from twenty-five to thirty
feet of lead carbonates, worth approx
mately 80 ton. while in the other shaft
they have a body of hiSh-Srade galena ore
that will pay to ship under present con-
ditious. On another portion of this COM
pany's property which embraces thirty
five claims, a remarkably fine body of
copper ore, ore that will carry from I to
30 per lent of the red metal, has been
opened up through a fifty-foot shaft and
large quantities of the ore are now piled
on the dump and exposed in the workings.
Wyoming-Utah Talent In 1t.
The Wyoming Freiburg company is an
other corporation that has acquired eight
valuable claims right in the heart of the
district During the present week its ar
ticles of Incorporation Will have been filed
and the company will then be ready for
business Big operators of Wyoming and
Utah are behind this company. Work al
ready done on the property discloses lead
Groupings from the same ground give re-
turns of $50 per ton in gold, silver lead
and copper
There is an abundance of water in three
streams within dozen miles of the min
eraI belt and the surrounding valleys are
exceedingly fertile. There is timber in
A abundance and the climate is such that
work can be carried on at all seasons of
the year without interference by the ele-
ments.
The district. Mr. Briscoe says, has been
slow to get the recognition ii deserves,
hut a good start has been made and moth
ing can hold it back any longer
