RICHFIELD. June 2S.-Reports Of a
very encouraging nature, some OF them
OF more than passing interest. are coming
In from the Marysvale section of the Cold
Mountain country Within the past
month shipments have been made from
three different properties, from two of
which the returns are very satisfactory
and stimulate the operations in all of the
properties.
A carload of ore from the Bully Boy
and Webster. in Bullion canyon, went
over 500 a ton and netted the shippers
about $40 ton. A car from the Glen
Aerie, OF Packard property. just west OF
the Bully Boy and Webster. did not
prove quite so valuable, but of sufficient
merit to warrant the continuance of de-
velopment work. From the CLYDE prop
erty in Cottonwood canyon. south Of
Bullion, a carload OF ore went something
over Sl0o. Copper was a strong factor
in all OF this ore.
The shipment from the Bully Boy and
Webster is especially significant.
short time ago II was decided 10 try
sinking In the lower tunnel. which runs
In from the waters edge az the bottom
Of the canyon and not far from It's mouth.
After going down only few feet fine
vein Of ore was encountered, and from
this was taken the ore that made up the
shipment. The vein improves In size and
values as n goes down.
The significance Of this strike is In
the fact that II IS at q vertical depth of
1000 feet and from l500 10 1000 feet below
the workings on other good properties
all over the divide between Bullion and
Cottonwood canyons. It establishes be-
Yond any doubt the claim made for years
by experienced operators in this district
and experts who have carefully examined
all over this section descend to great
depths and afford an immense working
ground for the various properties.

started work on a new scale the camp !
has been taking on new life and spirit, |
and The situation Is much better than !
a few months ago. About the only draw
back is a lack Of miners and machine
men. The suspension Of work pending /

has been experienced In getting another
force. This Is being gradually overcome |
however, and before a great while II is
expected TO have force OF men sufficient !
to carry on the extensive campaign which
has been mapped out by the new manage
ment. Wages have been increased by
the company lately as an inducement for
