| WINCHESTER. Aria, May 29.- General activity in this district with in the past few days has made mark co changes. More development work is now going on than ever before in
 the history of the district, although the camp is an old one. Many ricn strikes have caused the beginning Of new era of development, which gives every indication of a big gold district Despite the fact that the hot weather is just coming on, northern ' and eastern mining men are going right ahead with their worA ana say i the hot weather will not retard deyei- | opment.
 The Winchester camp Is located in | the mountains right at the mouth of | . long and cool canyon. and while dur [ ing the day time 1t is at in the sun the shade is always cool and the pights are always very pleasant. At no time does 1t get hot enough to stop work. Mining operations can ba f carried on as successfully during the summer months as during the winter 1 nIntns. The recent strike of rich ore on the Anaconda mine has caused a mum Der of mining men to come into the camp and make investments. It has also caused many of those already in camp to get into the hills and start work with the result that since tae ! Anaconia strike there have been sev- eral other tich strikes. The Aaa- I conda is located in the rich zone con tiguous to the great aniesite and rhyo- lite dikes. This strip of country is about one mile wide and six miles long The Anaconda is now sinking a shaft 15O feet. The shaft Is al- ready down twenty feet. and the ore sioot is widening with depth. The rich pay streak is flowing the ,iio- | rite foot wall and some rich speci mems of ore running into the thous- ands have been taken ut
 New Gold and Silver Find. One of the newest finds of rich gold and silver ore is the Mary c. which is lcatad near the Anacnja- This prop erty was owned by c. W. White and F.. c. McCarty. wlo discovered the rich ledge of gold bearing and since the strike have sold out a half in- tCrest in the property to Fl C. Hull of Phoenix for a good round figure. A contract has been let for shaft to be sunk loo feet. This property is on tae south side of the andesite like and the ledge is dipping for the dike.
 Another good sale of the week are the eight claims belonging to H. c. McCarty. J. w. Day and W. W. Peu- rine to G. W. Read of Roswell, N. NJ. These eight claims aijoin the Mary G. property and the purchase price was 5000, simply for the To- cation monuemnts. The claims had been located only short time when they were sold and while the pur- chase price was not large 1t was a good figure for simply the location monuments.
 Another good sale has recently been reprted whereby J. D. Mitchell and associates have taken over the Sitting Bull claims belonging to Bar ney Quinn. The purchase price has not been made public, but it is un- derstood to be very satisfactory. This property is pretty well developed hay ing one 125foot tunnel and several small shafts and tunnels all of which nave uncovered a very large body of ore. In fact, it looks like a w
 mountain of ore and assays made show that practically the entire hill will go from sf0 to s20 in gold. be- sides good values in silver. It Is un- Jerstood that Mitchelrs associates are from Michigan and that they will start work at once.
 Yellow Bird to Resume
 L. B. Hogue and Dr. D. W. Mott of Santa Paula. Cal, president and sec r6 tary of the Yellow Bird Gold Min ing company, which owns the old Yei- low Bird mine near Winchester, were in camp a few days ago and have decided to again begin work on tais property. It was located and worked for many years by o. Ellsworth Ru- rner of Los Angeles. and much rich ore taken out and shipped, having been hauled over 100 miles by wagon. That was before the building Of the railroad. The property was afterward
 sdli to the present owners, who nave done considerable work, but shut down on account of a disagree ment among the stockholders. It is now understood that these differences have been settled and the prperty will start work at once. They have contracted for the treatment of the ere at the Desert mill and as soon as work begins they will be able to start shipping ore. The Desert mill has contracted to haul and treat the Gre for s6 ton and 1t is claimed that the Yellow Bird ore will aver age better than s25 clear through.
 The Stafford mine is going ahead with work as fast as possible The working shaft is now down over loo feet and the pay streak has w;dened out to over thre feet This streak will run over $50 ton. The quartz ledge will average from ten to twenty feet thick and the entire ledge is good shippiu. ore This property will begin shipping to the Desert mill as soon as the mill begins peration. Operation on this property was hin jered much on account of not water but a new well has been sunk 1O2 feet and a fine flow of water en- countered ynich will supply plenty of water for the mine.
