ITS RAILROAD PROSPECTS

| Quartzsite. Nov. 25.-(Special cor 1 lrespondence of the Republican)- There will be a thankful Thanksgiving
 in this camp tomorrow. There has
 been great activity lately in the mines and new strikes of importance are re-
 corded every day. The camp was never before so full of hope and en- ergy.
 1 Charles B. Genung, the patriarch of the camp. went over to BOuse recently
 to confer with President F. M. Murphy and Vice President Drake of the Ari-
 zona and California railroad on the subject of the extension of the line up 1 the Tyson valley to QuartZsite, and received the assurance that the road will be built turing the coming year.
 The camp is therefore jubilating over the pledge of railroad that will en- able her mines to ship directly from ] the camp without the ruinOuS expense of the present long wagon haul, and a larger tonnage is pledged the moment the road can receive freight. The act uaI length of the line from Quartzsite to a connection with the road now in loperation west of Bouse will not be
 
 1 The Success mine, under the able fand energetic management of B. T. i Hickman, is rapidly growing into great producer of high grade copper
 running well fn gold and silver the average in car load lots exceeding $1OO ton. Hickman is an experienced cop per miner who has operated in Mon tana and he has picked a winner in his purchase of the Success. l The best judges of copper ground now admit that under the new owner ship this property must surely develop | into a bonanza.
 1 Charles B. Genung. known to all old i timers in Arizona, IS developing the Black Prince into a great gold bonanzo. ! The values are not high. ranging only | from SI5 to S43. but the ore bodies ! are immense and the claims overhang the famous old 70 Gulch" that pro- duced millions in placer gold in the early days. and the gold in the Black Prince is all perfectly free milling There is no doubt that it was the main source of the gold recovered from old "70" gulch.
 Col. G. L. Ingersoll and John Brown
  gold properties in ariquita gulch and have opened a body of free-milling ore twelve feet wide that runs $20 the ton. Captain Fry is operating his fine property south of this camp in what we calf the Cinnabar district, with an increased force. and is taking oyt-Ore that runs high in gold, silver aS cop per.
 The Stronghold company, mining near the same place. is taking out ore that runs 70 per cent copper and into the thousands in gold-by assays. Most of these mines mentioned as producing such rich copper, like the Success and the Stronghold, have de- lveloped larger bodies of a lower grade ore which can be worked to a hand some profit when the railroad reaches the camp.
 It is estimated that Quartzsite could now furnish the road at least three car loads a day and by the time the line is finished into camp a steady ton mage of five to ten carloads a day can be depended on as certain-ail high grade ore that will show a net profit of $50 to $100 and more ton. We are looking for the liveliest sea- son in the history of the camp this winter. Capitalists and prospectors are coming in and property is passing from feeble hands to strong hands. We are all thankful to The Republican for the good work it is doing in bringing our truly great mineral field to the atten- | tion of the outside world.
