r. Sanderson, waiter at the
Hotel Adams for sometime, last weel
met horrible death at Maricopa
while attempting to board a fast
moving train. His body was ground
and cut to pieces under the wheels
and his remains strewn along the
track for some distance. So terribly
mutilated were they, that it was
necessary to gather the pieces up in
a wheelbarrow. The remains were
brought to Phoenix by George Dris-
coll of Mohn & Driscoll, under in
structions of the employees and man
ager of the Hotel Adams, who gave
the body fitting Republican.
Among the many miners thrown
out of employment in the Big Bug
district by the closing of the Hum
boidt smelter last fall, who have
made successes developing prospects
for themselves or leasing promising
properties are James Coyne, Jess
Shields and Arthur Anderson, who
secured lease on the ''Dad Morri-
son" property recently, and who are
now making preparations to sink
shaft on the vein. This property is
located in the vicinity of the New
Year and Rebel mines, both of which
have produced ore of a high grade. |
Coyne, Shields and Anderson are
miners of many years experience |
Miners from McCabe state that they |
are displaying much energy in the
starting of development on this new
ly acquired ground and predict that
they will add another producer to the
many in the Big Bug district before
many months.
1t has been decided to install the
new machinery on the Little Eva ,
claim in the new 50-foot vertical ,
shaft. This claim adjoins the Snow
ball, on which is the 200-foot shaft in ,
cline, the scene of the center of Saw
age operations during the past year.
The new shaft is about 900 feet north c
ward of the old one. This 5O-foot a
shaft is all in good ore and is consid- L
cred more promising than the Snow D
ball, is possible. The ore is silver, o
carrying only little copper. Most a
Of it carries from IS to 80 per cent II
nr more silica. The smelter pays
premium, it is understood, on all such d
oreif sorted to n per cent. or higher II
IN silica. The machinery was to have II
been shipped on or about the first of Z
February and is expected to arrive 81

IN the new wagon road, which is now tC
complete from the company's office al

inward from the creek to the stage p'

az
rom the Fortuna mine, thirty-six
niles north of Phoenix, have been ID
rought to the city within the past ic
ew weeks. The rock is a quartz and tn
uartzite and contains much free M
lilling gold. About 100 pounds of TO
his same kind of ore was sometime Sc
go shipped to Mr.. Good, the engin- la
er in charge, then In Denver. Mr.. be
-ood spent four months testing this Hi
re and determining by what process la'
could be the most economically an
andled. This ore averaged Sl69 per va
IN and some snecimens ran as biob Tt
} 800 to $1,000 per ton. The Fortuna tn
)mpany however has based no CAL ia
llations on free milling PROPOSE tn
on but on sulphide ore or refractory OF
-e, and is installing a plant in which ou
icy will be able to handle anything thi
lat is likely to be found. whether Jal

lrtment working shaft is new being pos
nix between the ledges and this will dis
timately be sunk to the 10OO-foot err
