A GOOD SHOWING
IN THE DRAGONS
Ore Bodies of Immense Size
Uncovered Close to the
Great eStern,

DRAGON, Arlz., July 11.-At the
present time the southern end Of the
district or that IN the immediate Vicin-
ity of the Great Western and Lead
willie properties is being proven up
and ore bodies of immense size have
been uncovered during the past week
that forever sets at rest the theory
that there was nothing in the ORA
goons. The work tAat was done on
the Leadyille property by the Cabinet
& Arizona interests proved that there
were large bodies of both sulphide and
carbonate ores in that section. IN
the new shafts that have been start
ed on the Great Western property
and which are now down to a depth
of l65 feet. the miners have already
gone through several feet of ore. In
one of tne shafts there has been I'M
covered a body of glace ore that will
run 80 to so per cent, While in one OF
the others a large sbody of sulphide
ore mas been uncovered. In the three
shafts that are now being sunk there
has been ore bodies opened up in ev-
lery instance, and the bodies are in
creasing in size as the depth is in

doubt now but what the Great West

the largest producers in the south

Gently bonded by the Calumet & Ari-
iona for $4,000 in two shafts that
iihave been started ore bodies have
been uncovered in both of them that
proves that one of the largest bodies
! of carbonate ore that has ever been
opened up in the Dragons lies in this
property, and with the continued
depth promises to eclipse anything
| ever. found in Arizona. The body has
already been opened to such an eX-
| tent that it has surprised the man
lagement in charge, who knew from
the developments made in the Lead
vile property that the main ore body
was in the Cowan group, but had no
| idea that it was anywhere as near as
large as the present Development has
shown il to be and its extent is not
fully determined.
Work is soon to be resumed on the

lby the original Leadville company,
or else by Michigan people. 1t was

had it under bond that the present
ore in both the Great Western and
Cowan properties were discovered. A
study of the formations that were
encountered in this property and the

in the adjoining properties. 1t was
in the Leadville property that the
large body of carbonate ore was dis

for some time. Mr. Carson says the
fire is now confined TO a small area
outside of the Minnie Healy and that
gas alone and lack of sufficient venti-
lation are interfering with mining on
the upper levels. As soon as connec-
tons for ventilation are completed
mining will be resumed in that ground.
In old levels which are supposed to
have been worked by the former own
ers many hundreds of tons of ore are
being mined and ore shoots in new
ground have been discovered. Several
new levels have been opened in the
Rarus and Minnie Healy. The financial
report shows the cash on hand at the
end Of the year. $3,503,15 against
81. 169,0S2 the previous year. Most of
this decrease went into development.
A large sum was also paid to the Ana
conda company as rebate on copper,
the price of which dropped after Ana
conda had advanced payments to the
Coalition.
The annual meeting of stockholders
of the Raven Mining company, which

MINING NEWS FROM
MOHAVE DISTRICT
Fine Ore Shipments Are Being
Made Daily FROM the
Union Basin.

KINGMAN, July 11.-H. NJ. Bowen
went out to Chloride Thursday night
and returned to Kingman Saturday
afternoon. While in Chloride he made
a thorough examination of Elkhart
mine and mill and took note of the
possibilities of the reopening of the
property at an early day Ii is as
yet uncertain where the new com
pany will be financG d, although one
of the promoters is in London for
the purpose Of presenting the matter
TO number of the big capitalists Of
the old world, while on the other
hand a combination of Los Angeles
men would like to take the matter of
finance into taeir own hands. It is
certain that in any event the property
VIII be operated with a big treasury
behind it before many months.
The Union Basin Mining company
is shipping about ten tons of Gre
daily to the smelteTs. The company
has just completed it's gravity tram to
the wagon road, effecting a saving of
about a dollar and a half a ton on
haulage. The mine is looking splend-
id and showing big ore bodies. We
understand that the company has
contracted for the purchase of the
Prosperity mine, an extension of the
Golconda property, and that the deep
tunnel on the Prosperity will be con-
tinued into Golconda ground. The
two mines will become the largest
producers OF ore in that section Of the
Wallapai mining district. John Boyle,
Jr., who is at the head of the com
pany, is doing things.

NORTH STAR LODE
BIG WITH PROMISE
Developments on a Good Prop
erty Sold By Mayhem, Re-
veal S75G Gold Ore.

Andrew J. TromGo, a mining man
from Yuma county, while inTucson
the other day. spoke very encourag-
ingly Of the mining outlook in that
county, and especially of development
in the North Star lode. This was the
original Mayhem PROPERTY and die
basis of his present fortune. With
but ten foot hole in the ground May
hew gave a bond on the group for
100000, and received a small pay
ment down. In the meantime during
the life of the bond he continued to
sink and had reached a depth Of
twenty feet by the time the bonders
were required to make good. Trouble
arose between them and MAYHEM re-
fused to sign up. Under threat of
an attachment on the property, ne
yielded, but conditioned the agree
ment by adding an adjoining claim
and raised the price to $350,00O. This
was agreed to and the contract clos
ed.
At this time the main working shaft
Is down $50 feet and the ore at the
bottom of the shaft is said to be worth
$3.50 a ton. Between the different
shafts and drifts it is estimated that
fully one and a half million dollars
worth of ore is blocked out. 1t is
the opinion of those conversant with
the property that IL should make one
of the greatest gold mines in the
United States. if not in the world.

THE MINES RESUME
AFTER A HOLIDAY
Advantage Taken of Suspeh-
sion By Old Dominion 10
Repair Machinery,

Work resumed in the Old Dominion
mine last week. after three days sus-
pension to give the miners oppor-
tunity to celebrate the Fourth, and
permit of certain repairs being made.
The big hosting engine was repair
ed and put in good condition and
some other machinery was given at
tention. Since Saturday morning
three compartments OF A shaft We're
sunk about five feet, which, with the
stump, gives a depth of about twenty
one feet below the 14th level. Sink
ing can now proceed more rapidly
than was possible before, with the
cages running to the 14th, and IL
should not be many days until three
shifts are working regularly in the
shaft.
AT TIE smelter the furnaces were
banked up only for three hours on the
Fourth, which did not reduce the out
put materially.
The regular development work has
proceeded steadily, except for two
days lay of to celebrate Independ-
ence day. The drifts on the 1100-foot
level of the Gem now have a total
length of more than 800 feet and for
lcentrating sulphide. twenty-five feet
wide The showing is very encourag-
ing. The south crosscut from. the
Boston or Mallory shaft is about coo
feet in length and is being driven
with machine drills. 1t should soon
cut the sulphide lode now being open
led from the Gem, and when this is
accomplished a drift will be started

crosscuts will be about 1890 feet
apart. and the connecting drift will
be along the sulphide vein for the en-

THE FIRST PAYMENT
ON FOUR CLAIMS
Made by M, E, JoSephS Of Gun
ningham Pass, the Outlay
Being $4,000.

First payment of $4,000 on the pur-
chase price of S50.00O was made here
yesterday to NJ. E. Joseph, of Gun
ningham Pass, for a group OF four
claims recently taken over under bond
by the Cunningham Pass Copper com
pany Considering the amount of the
purchase price and that the deepest
shaft on the ground is only lis feet,
the surface showing in gold and cop
per ores must be very promising, as
the purchasing company took over
the ground and made the first pay
ment only after thorough examina-
tions were made by competent min
ing engineers.
A new working shaft will be start
ed at once on the great ledge which
can be traced the entire length of the
claims, some of the Outcrop carrying
values high enough to be considered
in the shipping class. Hosting ma
chfnery will be installed later and de-
velopment rushed with all possible
speed. The company now has % men
at work on the Boone, claims, a
short distance from the Joseph pur-
chase, and has that property develop
ed so taat regular ore shipments can
be made from it in future. The
Boone property was formerly known
las the "Old Billiard" mine, among
the oldest locations in the district,
next to the Joseph claims.
Joseph entered the district from
Mohaye county many years ago,
when none but the most daring and
hardy prospectors ventured into what
is known now as the new copper
country tributary to the Arizona and
California railroad. Overcoming all
obstacles and oftentimes facing death
for want OF water ne continued his
explorations until he discovered sew
eral rich and promising Lodges, the
locations covering the one which ne
disposed of in the recent sale.

trict in 1901, arrived here Sunday
with Joseph. Claims located by him

PIONEER COMPANY
OF PARAL DISTRICT
Mine Has Been Oper-
ating Continuously Since
1884 in Chihuahua.
Chihuahua Rlnterprise.)

The Hidalgo Mining company is the
pioneer American mining company in
the Parral district, state of Chihuahua,
Mexico. This company began opera
tons there in the year 1884, and mas
been operating continuously since then
to date. The first property acquired
by the company was the Aguilerena
mine, located on the Cerro de ia Cruz,
within the city limits of Parral. A
lixiviation mill was built near the mine
to treat the ores. The business grad
ually developed into general custom
milling, and the mill was enlarged and
the company began to purchase other
mines in the district Among the most
important properties acquired were
the Presena, the Alfarena, the Fon-
tanena, the Moreno, the Viscayna and
San Francisco, all of which are loeat-
ed at BIinas Neuvas, near Parral, on
the famous Veta Colorado Cred
Ledge.( On account of it's great width
and extent this ledge is one of the
most remarkable silver bearing lodges
in the world.
The Spaniards began mining on this
ledge in the year 1852, and mining
operations have been conducted there
since then almost without interrupt
ion up to tine present time. The Hidal-
go Mining company erected two large
liXiviation properties, and for number
of years treated the ores by this pro-
cess at a handsome profit. However,
recent developments in the treatment
of highly silicious silver ores In Next
co by the cyanide process have dem
onstTated that greater extraction at
less cost can be made by the use of
cyanide than by any other process yet
discovered, and it is therefore prob
able that in the near future the COM
pany will convert the lixiviatiOn mills
into cyanide plants. Other mines &C
quired and still neld by the Hidalgo
Mining company in the Parrai district
are the San JUanito, Las Cruces, Ca
badena, La Luz and Las Guijas. All
of these properties have made money
for the owners, and have a splendid
future before them. In all, the Hidal-
go Mining company is at the present
time sole owner. of eighteen properties
in the Parral district.
Great praise is due the Hidalgo Min
ing company and its officers for what
they hav edone for the encouragement
of things vital to the mining industry
in the Parral district The Parral e
Durango Railroad company owes its
inception and construction to the en-
ergies of the officers of the Hidalgo
Mining company. to mention only one
instance, and without this railroad it
is apparent to any one that the dis
trict could never have gone ahead as
it has done in the past six years.
