Urrom Thursdays pailyl

| Among number or Former res. dents of this county seen at Parker Sunday, who have promising mining interests in the country tributary tc the A. & C., was F. l.. Bowman, of Bowman, Humpnrey and Bowman :, large part of the mineral exhibit seen at Parker is from the properties of this firm, ten miles from Parker in tho Monumental mining district of Cali fornia. The group, known as the Cop. per Bell, is located n mile and a half west of Monument Peak. a landmark of that region. A boulder, found on the surface of the Copper Bell, is on exhibition at Parker. It weighs 700 pounds and samples 40 per cent in cop. | per.
 At depth of fifty feet crosscut thir,y.six feet in length was run through the Copper Bell deposit. Inc opening is in ore carrying good values in copper the entire distance. Neither wall has been found in the crosscut, SO that the size or extent of the ore body has not yet been determined.
 Bowman is confiden, that the prop erty will prove among the large cop. per producers in the territory when opened and equipped with mining ma. chinery and smelting plant. There is good water supply on the ground and n wagon road of easy grade has been built to the camp from the rail. road bridge over the Colorado River at Parker. Bowman and his brother have promising mining interests in the Bradshaw mountains in this county. Five miles north of Parker. the Quartz King Mining Company is de. veloping another very promising prop. cr'y. Sinking in the main shaft, now down 250 feet. has been suspended temporarily on account of the great inflow of water. Drifting and cross cutting IS being pushed pending the arrival of pumping machinery which was purchased few weeks ago. When seen at Parker Sunday. Fred simon. superintendent of inc company said that his concern proposed to sink several hundred feet deeper and open the mine extensively before consider ing the installation of smelling plant He is confident that his cor. porntiun has one of the best copper mines in the new copper country in the Qartz King. He says that the ore is sclf.iluNing and states that the mine when opened will prove divi. dend payer when equipped with n Smelting plant on the ground. The Quartz King exhibit at Parker com. priscs nearly a ton of all characters of ore extracted in the development of the property.
 The mine is equipped with fifty horsepower air compressor, n sixty horse power engine attached to the air compressor and fans, and sixty horse power hoist.
 In the Bill Williams Fork range, tributary to Bouse, development is be. ing pushed in the Signal and Planet mines. Forty-ive miners ard employed at the Signal by the Clara COnsolidat. ed Copper Company. Two noists are running day and night. One of the main shafts is now down 205 feet A crosscut has been run through the ore body distance of ninety feet, show. | ing ore the entire distance. The size of the ore body is not determined, as the hanging wall has not yet been found in the crosscut The prelimi. nary survey for q branch railroad from a point on the A. X C. four miles west of Rouse to the Signal and Plan ct mines is finished and the engineer corps K now making another survey 1 from Rouse to the mines. The dis tancc from Rouse to the Signal is twcn,y.onc miles and the distanco from Bousc to the Planet twenty-eighi miles.
 Tom Rouse is the diseoverer of tho town that bears his name and is ship ping three carloads of high grade copper and gold ore a month from hi' property four miles from the station The paystreak is SO large that few men can keep team hauling orr steadily to the station.
 N. W. Winters, the second man t' settle in House, and his partner, J. D Denton, bonded their Msnipulstol mine, four miles south of Bouse, to [ Colorado syndicate two months ago When the deal was closed tho shaf was only ten feet deep. The shaft Il now 240 feet deep and tho manage ment is so pleased with the ore show ing that arrangements are now under way to increase the force and push th' development of the mine on large scale.
