an upraise will be made to connect
with a seventy-foot shaft. This will
give ventilation and will block out
solid body OF ore several feet wide,
40 feet deep and 300 feet long. Both
shafts will be sunk deeper and more
ground blocked out until a depth of
several hundred feet has been at
tanned.
Mill to Be Modern
The mill will be one of the most
modern that can be purchased and
will be a twenty-stamp plant with
capacity of eighty tons of ore per day.
The ore is absolutely free milling and
can be worked very cheaply. Mr..
Haggott positively states that he can
clear the property and pay for the
mill within a year from date. Con-
sidering that the total outlay will be
about $3.50 900, he will be making q
great record if he does it. His reputa-
ton is in his favor, however. and he
is apt to make good. Allowing for
loss OF 81 per ton in the falling, and a
cost of SO per ton for mining and mill
ing the ore, Mr.. Haggott says that
there will be profit to Mr. Haynes
and associates of S. per ton on all the
ore run through the mill Some of the
rich streaks of ore contain values Of
$1,000 per ton and better.
One of the features in favor of the
property is the great amount of water
at hand. The Santa Maria river runs
through the property and the stream
always has as much as 600 inches OF
water, and often many thousands of
inches rushing down its channel. 1t is
Mr. Haynes intention to soon put in
a dam above the mill site and operate
the machinery by water power or by
electric power generated by water
from the Santa Maria. OIL will be the
fuel used to begin with A gasoline
hoist will be installed at once on the
shaft There work is to begin first.
other hoists will be bought and in
stalled later as additional men are put
to work.
In 1905 several lots of ore were
shipped from the Howells property to
a custom mill and run through. The
returns showed that one lot plated
$500 per ton: another 5000: another
S12 and another $40 per ton. The
tailings from the ore assayed from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton. showing the ore
to have contained values ranging from
$11 to $3.50 per ton. The ore being
all free milling, greatly cheapens the
cost of milling, obviating the necessity
OF installing vanners and the final
shipping and smelling of the concen-
trates. all of which costs money. One
treatment through a modern stamp
mill will catch the values as closely as
they can be saved. When Mr.. Haggott
gets through with the ore the tailings
will not contain enough gold to pay
for the syanlding process.
other Good Mines
In the vicinity of the Howells group
are located several well known proper
ties. The Hillside mine, owned by Jack
Lawler, who made million from the
property. is twenty miles to the north
The Hillside is a gold and silver prop
osition. principally gold. It has been
worked for many years and has pro-
duced some great bars of gold.
The Congress and Octave lie to the
southeast, and are both among the
big mines of Arizona. The Congress
has been worked to the 4000-foot level
and is still a big producer. It has an
eighty-stamp mill and other costly ma
| chinery on its premises A bar OF gold
valued at $4,000 was recently shipped
to Prescott from the Octave and was
on exhibition in the Prescott National
| bank. At the 1600-foot level in the Oc-
| tave shoot of thousand dollar ore
| has been encountered.
| The Niemann mine, another good
| property. is ten miles north from the
Howells, while the Carbeagh and other
properties are in the same vicinity.
Mr.. Haggott, who will have actual
charge of the Howells mine and mill.
was the superintendent of the Bluebell
mine in Yavapai county for several
years. This property is one of the hest
