WINKELMAN.

Winkelman, Ariz., Sept H.. Spe- cial correspondence of The Republi- can.)-Mr. F. A. Meyer (Nick) Is a man who thoroughly understands mining. No matter whether he is working his own property or super intending for some one else. he un- derstands his business to perfection. Mir Meyer is fortunate enough to own property on the south side of the Gila river2rery close to the fla nous Grub Stake group. owned by Crozier & Cordoza, and in spite of the low price of copper. Mir. Meyer can ship his ore and net him quite a handsome sum. At present he has five men employed. and his best ore comes from the bottom of the. shaft, depth of 175 feet.
 Peter Smith. a hustling prospector. has just completed monumenting ten claims that he recently located on the south side of the Gila. a short distance from the Grub Stake group. The principal value of Mir Smiths new strike is a gold bearing quartz and if surface indications are to he considered he surely has very promising prospect.
 Chas. Nelson, contractor for Uncle Dan O'Connell. was in town Monday with his pack train, which consisted of sixteen burros and four horses. It keeps that train busy all the while carrying supplies from town up the mountain to where Nelson is working a double compartment shaft for Uncle Dan. No doubt but that al 4n d but when it comes to banning rock for gold. he Is just little better, and he can show one plenty of colors. as he did the other day; he is willing to bet on the number of colors he can show, and especially so when he knows that the rock came from the vicinity of Sulphur Gulch.
 In the last two months Winkelman has been full of strangers and busy mining men, and things are taking on quite a busy appearance at this end of the line. Most prominent among our recent visitors was Theo. Phillips. a very successful mining man, who holds great interests in this section. He was accompanied by a Mir Forrest. a capitalist from St Louis. who is very much interest ed in mining, and especially so in the promise and future of this country. They visited many of the prospects throughout this district and marveled over the promising appearance of the quartz that is being taken from a shaft being sunk in Sulphur Gulch. Mr. Phillips expects to return here in about three days. as he is attract ing capital to this section.
 Col. L Brinkworth, formerly of h. diana, but recently of Phoenix. has taken up permanent. quarters at Sul- phur Gulch. The colonel has exten- sive Interests in this section and being an officer and director in the Zachary Mining company. he finds it more convenient to be upon the ground.
 Judge Geo. Scott. an old time resi- dent here. went out for stroll the other day over ground that he had walked over many times before, but he was very much shocked when Joe Banta showed him some rock from the san Pedro. The judge would not believe that the ore came from any place in this section Banta. rcaliz- ing that the judge was from Mis- souri. proceeded to show him the very ledge from which this good rock came. The judge left convinced that the ledge really existed and from now on he says although he has grown old, he will hereafter keep his eyes open whenever he goes for walk over these mountains.
