REMARKABLE VALUES
 BEING DEVELOPED
Assay Returns From a Yavapai Mine Owned in Phoenix, That Are of AL most Sensational Interest.

A lot of Phoenix business men of the Juanita Mining ana Milling
 company are just now more enthusi- astic over mining and espe ,iaily that
 p"ri iicGlar Iroperty, than ever before and they have d pretty good right to be. It is all on account of d s,.r;,s Of ore discoveries during several
 months past that have been growing. constantly better and better, c;imin- ating in a half dozen assays made
 by J. A. Poterie that are almost too good to be true The best of it is
 tha. it is not a new discovery but g
 mere growing in width and value of an ore body the company has been .CNririiing Tor a lGI-g time. T.iG SIX
 assays are as fellows: sSJ5 SG s2I.2G. S51.2O. s@65 SO. S12sti0 and
 S1.60. These assays are from sam
 ples taken clear across the five-fCot
 bIcss: of the dri:t, ami inc Gc hv drilling has. been shown to be at least q foot wider. the vein between
 walls being from twenty to fifty feet wide as shown by croppings. The , average value of the face of the drift by these assays is over $500 per ton, excluding the S1.60 assay which
 was made on q small, dark, piece of rock, different from the regular for
 nation and which was tested merely to satisfy curiosity.
 The property of the Juanita conn pany consists of fourteen claims in Crook Canyon 17k miles south of Prescott and four miles from the Senator mine. It is best known by
 the names of the two claims. Juanita
 and Tom and Dick. The present management has had the property three years. those directly in charge being a MT. Warren, and D. A. Sea
 man of this city. the former at the
 mine, the latter in the Phoenix of flee. Quite a number of Phoenix men have put considerable sums into the developing of the mine which has gone steadily forward during the last three years and they now l feel that they are almost within reach of their reward.
 A long story could be written on the ! history of the Juanita, and an interest ing one but merely to outline the req son for the faith referred to it will
 only be skeletonized at this time, and prefactory to the historical is should be stated that every working on any ! of the claims is and has always been in ore. The first work was done on | the Kentuck claim, nearest to the camp. After 800 feet of development
 work could not be pursued without hoist and a pump the company could
 not then afford. Operations were then i turned to the Tom and Dick shaft, where the recent cause for enthusiasm
 has developed.
 It was sunk 109 feet between two big
 quartz and iron croppings. From this level drifts were run north and south.
 until the water could be no longer 1 handled with whim. The drifting de-
 veloped copper ore averaging 2-1O
 per cent. Operations were then begun on the Juanita claim on a big iron
 quartz blowout and 800 feet of work exposed a mineral vein 60 feet wide,
 really an ore chamber assaying from $1.5O to $500 per ton gold, silver and
 copper.
 Last spring it was discovered that the Tom and Dick had been suffici- ently drained to resume work without pump and it was done, having con tinued unceasingly since then. At the distance of 154 feet in the north drift they first encountered gold visible to the naked eye. Sampling back 9 feet they secured an average assay of S29.9O | Tor the full width of six feet. For the | next 20 feet ahead the ore narrowed | to four feet but an average of the as- f says was $S1.40 gold and no copper |
