]. V. Lander, general manager "a
the Newbhry group, with headqua4-
tiers in Boston, arrived in Phoenix to-
day en- route to Florence and tae
mines. His visit it this time means
resumption of operations at the
Newbury mines.
Supt G. w. Griffey came down
from the Alta mining camp Monday
after supplies. Col. Griffey is antic-
ipating a renewal of operations in
the near future, but says he VIII not
start up with a large force until he
has assurance that he can continue
the work steadily.
The managers of the Queen mine,
at Superior, accompanied by capital
lists, are expected to make an eXami-
nation of the mine this week with a
view to arranging for an immediate
resumption Of work on the property.
We went over the Queen ground
Wednesday and cannot refrain from
expressing surprise at the absence Oh
activity there. 1t is a property that
would pay the cost Of development,
and a profit beside, under practical
management. 1t is to be hoped that
work will be resumed on this prop
erty at once.
John D. Mackay, who has a bond
on the Lempker and Pomero, pIvp.
critics, extending north from the Sill
yer Queen property, in the Pioneer
district, this county, has five miners
driving a tunnel to cut the lead at a
vertical depth of $50 feet. The grouno
in, the tunnel has softened and the
boys are now making from eight t.
| twelve feet per day. At this rate OF
progress the tunnel will soon reach
the vein. The vein shows fine ore
body.
The Pomeroy, Duffey and Heating
| group of mines, situated a short dis
lance west of the old Silver King
| mine, this county, has been unde1
bond to an English syndicate for some
| time. A letter was received by Mr.
! Pomeroy this week stating that the
money to pay for the property is now
| on the way from London and that il
should, reach here within very few
days. We went over the property
| with the owners Tuesday and found
that the group embraces some very
attractive prospects. There is NJ
| doubt in our mind that deep develop
ment viii place this property in tins
producing list.
Supt. Fred Hoar. of the Lake Sup
| erior & Arizona Mining company
came down from Superior Wednesda!
| in his automobile accompanied by hi!
wife and Mrs. f. Kellner. Supt Hoal
has everything in readiness to star
| up the mines so soon as he shall re
| ceive orders to dc so. The Gazette
| published at the home city of the di
/ rectors stated last week that arrange
ments for resumption of work at thu
| mines had been complete and that
was expected that the order to re
sumo operations would be issued in
side of few days. Supt Hoar hal
not yet been advised on the subjec
! but would not be surprised il the or
der should come this week.
William Clark, who returned from
the Owl Heads this week, brought I,
the Blade cabinet a beautiful speci
men or ore from the 130-foot level o
the Cloud Burst mine, one of the prop
| critics of the Calumet inal Mine
i company, undergoing development IN
i der the management of Hon. Mott. 4
| Guild and his brother, Roy Guild. Th'
ore is copper glance and oxide in
6ibase porphyry matrix. II will rul
sixty per cent copper and also car
ries fair per cent of gold and silver
The bottom of the level for its entire
length shows this character of ore
Apparently the level just cuts the to-
of a very large ore chute. In re
port on the group the editor of tn
Blade advised the company to sink o.
the Cloud Burst and we, naturally
feel considerably enthused over Ia
discovery of this rich ore chute eve
though we feel confident 1t was tner'
before It was uncovered by the morf
We congratulate the Guild boys upo
the persistence with which they wen
after it and the company upon it
good Judgment in backing them VI
The boys are stockholders in the CON
pany and will get something NOR
than their salaries out of the prof.
erty.
