ACTIVE IN DEVELOPMENT
Sierra Buttes Is Dropping Forty

Reports from all over Sierra county
show a wonderful activity in develop

many of the old properties lying idle
are being reopened under bond and

work is being performed universally in
all the districts, and the prospectors
are busy in American Hill, along Rock

the st. Charles hill country.

The greatest difficulty experienced by

are no books in existence on desert

Great Mines of the Near Future

NEW PRODUCING LEASE
FOR FLORENCE COMPANY
Is Developing Ledge Of Quartz on 176-
Foot Level That May Have
Bonanza Ore
Shoot

The Florence company at Goldfield
is soon to have another producing lease
unless all signs of nature are at fault.
The Florence Consolidated company Is
developing ledge of quartz on the u.s.
foot level that gives every promise OIL
containing within its walls bonanza
ore shoot. In appearance 1t is the
counterpart of the high class ore that
is rolling out of the Combination Frac-
ton shaft, within shooting distance, at
the rate of 100 tons day. The entire
ledge, which is five feet between walls,
carries gold, assays running as high as
S35. so. The vein runs few degrees
east and north, the same course as the
bonanza leads of that section, ana
seems certain of making into good ore.
There is no dearth of veins in the
block of ground which is being worked
by the Florence Consolidated, and the
management has been persistent in its
efforts to locate the pay shoots. The
lease was taken over from the Janu-
ary Jones company, and has made ship
ments of a good grade of ore. The
shaft has been dropped down to a
depth of 300 feet, and the vein which
looks so good on the 176-foot level

.STONEWALL JACKSON
MAY AGAIN PRODUCE
WORK STARTS ON FAMOUS OLD
MINE
Its Lead Is One of the Largest in
Globe District-SIabs of Silver
Were Cut Off in Early
Days

The McMillen- Stonewall Mining COM
pany is making preparations to mate
rally increase it's force and Vigor-
ously push development work on Its
fine property at McMillen, eighteen
miles east of Globe. A car of mine
timbers has been sent to Rice, whence
the lumber will be hauled by wagon to
the mine, a distance of about twenty
two miles over very good road.
A small force has been employed
since last fall and development on the
mine has been carried on continuously
for more than a year. Fifteen miners
will be added to the force and three
shifts will be employed in shifting the
shaft from 120 feet, its present depth,
to 300 feet, at which depth the, lode Will
be crosscut and explored by drifts. V.
Y. Smith, who organized the company,
will continue to act as superintendent.
In the first number of the Silver
Belt, issued May 2. 1873, the Stonewall
Jackson is spoken of. The shaft was
then down a little more than 100 feet
and the body of pay ore was steadily
increasing. The ore was divided into
three classes. The first and second
class ore, sorted to $4,000 and $4,000
per ton, respectively, was shipped to
San Francisco, being hauled by wagon
from Globe to Yuma.
The third class ore, assaying from
5000 to $500 per ton, was worked in the
Tidwell mill. The Silver Belt then said
of this mine:
IAN unbroken vein of native silver
has been found from the surface to the
bottom of the shaft, varying from one
to four inches thick"
Old timers have been heard to tell
how this vein was stripped and the
almost pure metal cut out with chlsels,
the slabs of silver boxed and shipped.
In San Francisco the Stonewall jack
son lore" excited so much interest that
it was broken into chunks and sold by
weight, balancing the specimens on the
| scales with silver dollars The mine
during the six or seven years it was
worked produced nearly $1,000000.
The company suspended operations
because of mismanagement and dis
agreement among the directors.
The Stonewall Jackson lead is one
of the largest in Globe district, varying
from thirty feet to hundred feet
wire. On the dump and in the OLD
workings there are upward of 10000
tons of low grade ore that could be
worked to a profit and it is probable
that a plant for that purpose will be
| erected next wear.

COPPER CREEK LAYS OUT
FOUNDATION FOR PLANT
WATER STOPS DEVELOPMENT OF
AMERICAN EAGLE
Several Buildings Are Being Erected
at Sycamore Flat for Employees,
Boarding House and
Store

FLORENCE, Ariz,, Aug. 9.-The
forces of the Copper Creek company,
near Winkelman, are now largely en-
gagged in laying foundations for the
large 500-horse power plant. Inc
boiler and machinery, as well as me
dynamos and other electrical appara-
tus, is on the ground.
The boiler for this plant, when
weighs $4,000 pounds, was landed lasI
week at Sycamore Flat, the location
of the power plant. 1t is expected this
plant will be put into service by the
middle of September. When his mas
been accomplished the hoists and
pumping machinery on the various
mines will be operated by power con-
tributed from this plant. There are
thirty-flve men working on the con-
struction.
Work has ceased on the American
Eagle group of mines on account of
water, which cannot we'll be controlled
until the electrical plant furnishes the
power for the pumping.
The sixty-ton concentration is row in
transit and it is expected 1t VIII arrive
in time to be erected and put in ope-
ration about the time the construction
of the power plant is completed.
Several buildings are being erected
at Sycamore Flat for the housing or
employees, a boarding house and com
pany store: the latter has already been
established at that point. This gives

mense body of high grade silver
chloride ore. 1t seems that the more
they investigate the larger and better
the strike appears.
The vein as exposed at present
shows a constant width of over two
meters, expanding and pocketing out
in places to several meters.
Ore has been blocked out for dis
lance of over 100 meters. An exami-
nation of the ores show them to be
partially altered and brecciated lime
stones, carrying less than 10 per- cent
silica, very little iron and big values
in silver.
At first sight the ores are rather
disappointing as it does not seem that
such innocent looking material could
carry values to such an extent. the
ores so far encountered carry very
little lead and no sulphides. The
discovery and identification OF these
rich ores are a tribute to Mr.. Stin-
sons skill in knowing a good thing
when he sees it.
The ore is accommodating rapidly
around the workings and a few Gays
ago IL was found necessary to cut out
a natio and while blasting out place
in the hillside it was found that what
they were throwing away. for waste
was rich in silver. They mad uncov-

The vein of La Suerte crosses the

development work.
The exact extent of this pheno'

termined, but from openings already
appear that the indications or Its

SHIPS coNcENTRAToR TO
SANTA RITA MOUNTAINS

TUCSON. Ariz., Aug. "a big con-
centrator has been shipped out of this
city by w. L. Ketcham to his gold
mining property, which is located in
the Santa Rita mountains, about foIty-
six miles from this city.
The mine is about twenty miles from
Sahuarito. which is the nearest post
office, and is said to be one Of the
very richest prospects in the entire
southern part of Arizona. Its assays
have shown a very rich yield of ore
and the development and production
work are to be steadily increased. AS
soon as the concentration has been es-
tablished and is in working order the
number of men employed on the prop
erty will be increased and the owner
plans to make 1t one of the big pro-
ducers of the section.
