WANDERING JEW MINE SHOWING
 UP VERY WELL
Ore Enough in Sight to Pay for Development Work-lS the Principal Property of Santa Rita District.

This week the Mexican core suondent of The Oasis invaded the Arizona field. by accompanying MT Mark I,uIley to the Wandering Jew mine ,n inc santa Ritas. There they folnd MT. Steve Bailey with small foyee of Nezicans blocking out ore. Al the mine there is ore enough in slsht t, nay for development. work or. inc property if there were q smelter near enough to permit Of shippin& and treating it with a little less eN' pense The proposed shelter here at Needles will be 6 big boost toward fnrfline to the lucky owners of the Wandering Jew. and to many other promising properties in that secuon' There are now about I50 tons of ore on the Jew dump that will average about s5G per ton in yaiueS-sltSer, conner and lead, with some gold rms k fh,, ere taken out in the work or sinking m the lead. One of the shafts sunk has a depth of one hundred feet, in are all the way. From the shaft the laa1 has been uncovered by & trench for distance of more than 800 feet, west showing the same vein crop ming to the surface the entire uls- fance s streak of clean steel galena one foot thick. Three hundred feet wass from the cae hundred foot shaft another shaft has been sunk SIX tv feet on the lead. showing the same rfrh nav streak one foot wide to the hyl4tcn of the shaft, but widening to- ward the bottom. From the bottom of fhe IOO-foot shaft 8 drift driven west toward the 6G-foot shaft, shows the vein at that depth with width of four and a half feet. not so clean as where it has a width of only C11e foot. but still exceptionally rich. samrIe gathered from across tht' four ami a half foot width asSaying fifteen ounces silver, forty-two and half per cent lead and one and nine tenths per cent copper The ore blocked cut between the two shafts and uncovered on the surface. could be mined at a very small expense With a smelter near at hand, the Wander ing Jew with the ore now in sight in the workings. ready to be taken out, will pay its own development
 But the work mentioned is not all that has been done at the Wandering Jew by any means. In the eefoot shaft. at a depth of forty-fiye feet, a cross-cut was driven south to cut un- der a large cropping that crops up short distance south of the collar of the shaft There another lead has been encountered From the bottom of the same shaft a drift has been started west on the Fein- It is in about twenty feet with no break in the rich ore being followed. From the bottom of the 100foot shaft to the east q drift is being driven on the vein, or rather beside it. as the ore is not being taken out. but is left stand ing, showing the same solid steel ga lena that is uncovered on the sur face
 About two years ago the mine was bonded to people who undertook to prospect it by means of tunnel driven into the hill from the g1lch be- low the outcropping and to the north of the shafts The tunnel was driven in about S60 feet and cut twelve small but rich leads, on two of which considerable drifting was done. The tunnel into the hill. how ever. was not completed, and if 1t had been it is doubtful if it wo1lo have served the purpose for which it was intended, as it would give a deI%n of not more than two hundred feet under the outcropping on the hill.
 But, as before stated, vita a smelter at NogaIes the Wandering Jew, with the ore now in sight, can pay for it's own development work and with one rich mine, such as the Jew will undoubtedly be. fully de veIoped and distributing it's wealth, there will be an influx of capital and giant powder into that district ttat will burst open the great rich treas ure vaults of the Santa Ritas.
