is considered that it started from the
grass roots. Only conservative man
agement could have put it where il
is today and 1t now seems that there
is no doubt as to its future.
The gold shaft, on which is installed
a 15-hOrsepower gasoline hoist, is now
down 200 feet. 1t is we'll timbered
and is one of the best pieces of work
in the district. At the 100 level a
drift was run on the vein distance
of 300 feet without a break. The
vein will average nearly twelve feet
in width and will go from SIS to SIC
per ton gold clear across. There is
d rich streak in the center about Il
inches wide that will average from
800 to $1,000 gold. There is a con-
siderable amount of ore left on the
side walls as only enough was taken
out to permit convenient room for
working and the face of the drift is
all in ore. Work was stopped on the
drift and sinking continued in the
shaft, which has now reached the 200
level. The shaft was made straight,
while the ore dipped towards the
canyon and the bottom of the shaft
| is about % feet from the ore. A
station is being made and crOsscut
will be run to the ore, when drifting
and if the vein continues true there
is every reason to believe that the
company has the best gold PROPOSE
ton in this district. There is now
1000 tons of frst-class ore on the dump
that will average $40 to the ton gold.
None of this ore will be shipped at
present as the copper property is
more than paying operating expenses.
In the copper department of the
Gold Belt there is room for much
comment. 1t is indeed one of the
most peculiar bodies of ore ever en-
countered in the district. 1t is posi-
lively the cheapest, as the ore is be-
ing quarried. II was struck on top
of the ground and the body has been
proven to cover a space of about 100
feet square. Several cars of ore
have already been shipped and there
copper ore on the dump that will
average Is to 20 per cent. A tunnel
Is being run to tap the ore at some
little depth which will cheaper the
cost of handling. The deepest work.
ing is not more than Is feet, the bot
tom of which is in a solid body of ore
and it looks as though it will be per-
manent. If it is the Gold Belt will
be one of the biggest propositions in
the camp outside of the old Com-
panies. In addition to the high
grade ore there is any amount of low
grade.
Many people haye recently visited
the Gold Belt. Some of them were
mining men and others have
had considerable experience in min
ing. and all of them have returned
enthusiastic admirers of the wonder
fI11 81 fl
l5-horsepower gasoline hoist is now
on the ground at the copper claim
but has not yet been installed as it
has not been decided where sink
ing will be commenced. There has
been very little Gold Belt stock on
the market of late, and judging from
present indications there is apt to be
very little more on the market in the
future at less than SI.O0.

MINES AND MINING.

Chas. Allen, a mining man well
known throughout the southwest and
who has operated extensively in this
section, left last Saturday for Den
yer, Colo, where he will spend some
time on business. He represents a
number of outside parties who are
interested in properties in Arizona
and Mexico and has spent a great
deal of his time making examinations
and reports.
Horace Moses, a mining man of
considerable experience in New
Mexico, Mexico and Arizona, who has
spent the most of his time in Silver
City, and who is well known all over
the country in a mining way, arrived
in Clifton last week and in the future
will be connected with the New
England Copper company as superin-
tendent of the mines. He will fill the
position formerly occupied by Mr..
Perry, who resigned to operate the
Laura D mine. Mr.. Moses is a prac
teal mining man and will be of much
benefit to the company. He has many
friends among the old timers in this
district.
superintendent I. N. Stevens, of
the Chase Creek Copper company,
which has been operating in this dis
triCt the past few years. came in this
week and announced that new strike
has been made in the big tunnel that
promises well for the company The
tunnel, which crosscuts the country
is now in 1850 feet, which gives the
workings a depth of about 900 feet.
The face of the tunnel is now cross
cutting a vein of low>grade ore car
rying copper, iron and sulphur. The
width of the vein is not yet known,
but at present only sufficient distance
has been gained to show up Is inches.
MIR. Stevens is of the opinion that the
vein is big one and that the chances
are good for big body of ore being
encountered. The mouth of the tun-
mel is only a short distand from the
Coronado railroad, which is great
should large body of
ore be struck. The Chase Creek
property is among the best in the dis
trict and there is no doubt as to its
success. Indications are very prom
ising for an extensive body of low
grade ore.

Killing al Metcalf.

A shooting took place at l O'Clock
Wednesday morning at Metcalf in
which Sesario Velasquez killed an
other Mexican named Jacinto Olivas.
There was no previous trouble be-
tween them that the ERA has been
able to learn and it is not known
what led up to the killing. The shoot
ing took place in a tunnel a short
distance from Metcalt. Olivas lived
until about daylight and Deputy Sher-
iff Farnsworth arrested Velasquez
and placed him in the Jail. At
the coroners inquest Velasquez
was found guilty and will be bound
over to the grand jury. Olivas was
good man and had joined the Mexican
lodge only few days before, in which
he carried an insurance policy for
$1,000. According to the bylaws of
the lodge member must belong
twenty days before the policy is
effective, and as he belonged but
eight days, the policy cannot be col
lected. He leaves a family in rather
poor circumstances and the lodge has
donated them the sum of $500.
There has been much complaint in
ing of guns and it is said that there
are a lot of would-be bad men in the
district. The ERA has been informed
by the officers of Metcalf that they
propose to put an end to the gun pro-
position at that place and in the flu
ture will enforce the law to the let
ter. They are determined in their
effort and say that they will treat
everybody alike, the Americans as
we'll as the MeXicans. A warning to
the wise should be sufficient.

A TRIP TO THE GOLD BELT MINES.
A representative of the ERA made
a trip to the Gold Belt Development
and Reduction company's mines for
the purpose of Investigating the
property and ascertaining the truth
of the recent statements made as to
the worth of the property, and found
the showings to be not only as repre-
scented, but much better. The mines
are located about four miles from
Morenci in one of the best mineral
lied zones of the great Morenci dis
trict, and in which. there are some of
the best mines in the country. The
Gold Belt property is reached by one
of the best wagon roads in the coun-
try, which leads out from Morenci to
the pump station Eagle and from
which the Gold Belt has built a
branch road two miles in length
directly up to the workings of It's
mines, which is an advantage very
few companies in the district can
boast of. 1t is a pleasant drive to
the mines and the camp is equipped
with an excellent boarding house with
American chefs in charge. A force
of about forty men are now employed
by the company and everything seems
to move like clock work. Two eight
hour shifts are regularly employed
and the third one. will be put on as
soon as arrangements can be made
for handling the output. At present
the company is hauling its ore with
one siX-horSe team, but the ore
dumps have been allowed to pile up
until it is now necessary that half
dozen teams should be employed.
Arrangements have been made,
whereby the company will employ
100 burros in packing ore, and as
soon as they are put to work the
company will be in d position to ship
better than carload of copper ore
day. The camp consists of a board
ing house, rooming house and num-
Der of board tents in which the men
reside and there is an abundance of
spring water at the door of the
camp. Eagle river is only a short
distance away and the company owns
two millsites which will be quite an
advantage when the time arrives for
the erection of large stamp mill
for handling the gold proposition of
the company.
Just fifteen months ago the Gold
Belt put its first pick into the ground
and at the present time its workings
consist of Alb feet of shaft work and
1856 feet of tunneling, which is not
bad showing by any means, when it

NEW YORK-ARIzONA.

A representative of the ERA last
week got glimpse of the mining
camp of the New York-Arizona Gold
and Copper company. 1t is situated
just across the mountain from the
Gold Belt property and can be reach
ed very easily with a team and
buggy. Owing to the fact that the
Gold Belt people built good wagon
road within d quarter of a mile of
the New York-Arizona camp, it was
an easy matter to build a spur to the
camp at very small cost, something
less than 800. The road is now fin
ished and the camp consists of d
boarding house and four boarded
tents. Considerable development
work is being done with fattering
results, and while there has been
much talk about what they intend
doing, it would seem that the man.
making good as fast as it is possible
for them to do so. They haye num-
Der of very promising claims and
from some of them high grade gold
shipments have been made. The
property is located in a promising
district where the D. c.. company
operate some OF its best mines. The
whole country between Morenci and
the New York-AIizona is dotted with
good mining cl inns and there is no
reason why the mineral belt does not
extend to the property of the above
company. Their surface showings
are Identical and where they have
gone down into the ground they have
always met with encouraging results.
With proper management the New
York-Arizona can make the same
success as the Gold Belt and anyone
who has visited the country will
agree with the ERA that they have
made the best showing of any small
company that has ever operated in
this district. Local people are
heavily interested in both companies,
and they are keeping themselves
posted by making numerous visits to
the property. Quite a force of men
are employed at the New York-Ari-
IONA camp and Superintendent
Molder is getting d hustle on himself
The camp is all new and presents an
enterprising appearance. Most of
the preliminary work has been fin
ished and the company is now get
ting busy with development work.
There is quite a great deal of pay
ore piled on the dump and the man
is preparing to ship some of
it to the Shannon smelter at Clifton.
