WILCOX STRIKE MAY
DEVELOP A BONANZA
Difference of Opinion and Doubt as TO
Status of Ground Cause
Comment

COURTLAND, Oct. 3.-There is con-
sfdera BILE suppressed and yet expressed
excitement in CORTLAND regarding the
alleged bonanza gold strike near VIII
cox. Little is said openly about town.
and parties depart as quietly as pos
sible. but the fact that perhaps halt
a dozen outfits have gone to WILCOX
in the last week, one of them so long
ago as the End of the month, and
the secrecy manifest, show the real
interest taken in 1T.
Reports here also differ as to the
nature of the location, whether 1t is
quartz or placer, bonanza or only fair,
though most of the reports and best
ones have it quartz. one piece OF
quartz shown is best described as a
nugget of gold with stringers of quartz.
On the other hand, w. j. Hurd ana
E. e. Towner of the Courtland En-
gineering company, who were the flrst
parties from here, report the hnd
shown them as being only fair
and not meriting any special atten-
ton. They report, however, consider
able development in the same section
and eastern capital coming in, so that
there is likely to be a big opening
Among others who have gone from
here are Eb Thorp and J. Shay, who
it is claimed is judge of ground and
rock, Tom Winters, Bob Fortune and
Abe Perkins. Some of these are said
to have the backing of the CORTLAND
Rusiness Mems club.

WILL REOPEN FAMOUS
BUNKER HILL MINES
CHICAGO COMPANY TAKES
PRELIMINARY STEPS
Machinery, Trans and Roads Are
overhauIed and Mining oper-
ations viii Start With
In Two Weeks

TOMBSTONE, Oct. 3,-William
Wallace, representing the Chicago
Exploration company, is IN tombstone
to reopen the famous Bunker Hill
mines of this district.
The work of rehabilitation began
last week when orders were given
to overhaul the hoisting machinery
and place the tramways, tracks, ore
houses, roads, etc, in condition Tor
active service. This preliminary work
it is expected will be completed within
two weeks, when arrangements Will be
made to start a force of miners at
work underground and with develop
ment place the property on the list or
producers as of yore.
The Bunker Hill group has good
record of production Although the
been announced, it is understood eX-
tensive exploration is contemplated,
while the ore bodies are to be opened
and shipments begun as soon as pos
sible. The property is equipped with
n ffty-horsepoWer FraZer-Chalmers
double cylinder engine. The shaft is
double compartment and 565 feet deep,
we'll timbered. The ore occurs in huge
pockets, much of which is a high
grade manganese and much in de-
mand by smelters.
Mr.. Wallace, who is to take charge,
is well and favorably known here,
having for some time occupied the re-
sponsible position of mining engineer
with the Tombstone Consolidated
Mines company, and is familiar with
the mineral possibilities of the dis
trict. 1t is gratifying to know that
t. Bunker Hill is to be numbered
among the operating properties of the
Tombstone district and good results
are looked for in the development of
this historic property.

Is RECORDED
Nine Cars Garry Nearly Two Thou-
sand Dollars a Ton-cIermont
Shaft Ships Unusual Ton-
mage Since CaVealn

The Consolidated mines at Goldfield
last week sent UWenty-four railway
cars of ore to the big quartz mill that
were of especial interest to mining men
because of the high average grade Of
the quartz and the fact that it was
taken from the lowest mined levels in
the district.
Of the lot fifteen cars carried an av-
erage value of 1912 ounces gold to the
ton, a tonnage value of $1052; and nine
cars contained CLIP ounces, or 1882 a
ton. The ore was taken from the 730
foot level of the Clermont shaft, which
was sunk to tap the Mohawk vein on
it's dip. The same vein has been opened
at depth of $50 feet, from where an
average sample across fifteen feet gave
returns of $40 a ton.
Since the disastrous cave-in of the
Hampton stope of the Combination the
Clermont shaft has been called upon
Tor an unusual tonnage for the mill.
and sent out fifty cars in four days.
That the management of the Consol-
idated mas ample ore reserves which
can be called upon when the necessity
arises and that the temporary disable-
ment of one mine will not interfere
with the operation of the mill and the
payment of dividends with regularity
was demonstrated and did much to
check what in some companies would
| have developed into a disastrous bear
raid on The stock.
The management Immediately after
the accident promptly took steps to
advise the shareholders, of which there
are some $780, of the actual conditions,
thus protecting them from false reports
| concerning the effect which the caye-in
would have on the property.
| While the Combination mill is put
out of commission the accident only
anticipated the action of the manage
ment in that direction, as the plant
has outWorn it's usefulness and was
only operated on the oxidiZed ores of
the upper workings of the Combina-
ton and January mines. 1t IS probable,
however, that it will hasten the con-
summation of the tentative plans of
the directors to enlarge the 100-stamp
mill, which is now treating 900 tons of
ore every twenty-four hours.
The management has already an
nounced that the Hampton stope, the
| greatest body of high grade gold ore
| ever known to the world. will be
opened on the fourth level and ''glory-
holed' to it's apex. This will do away
with the expensive timbering which
has been necessary in opening and ex-
ploring the ore shoot.
The quarterly dividend of 80 cents g
share, amounting to $1,0S0,0 600, will be
| checked out October 81

pepends Upon Report

SEARCHLIGHT, Oct. 9-Oscar Sims
representing a number of Los Angeles
persons, was at Mob Hill last week ex-
amining the Gold Star group. A COM
pany is ready to organize and take
over the property, providing Mr.. Sims
finds conditions as represented. E. M
Martin is promoting the deal.
The Gold Star and the Gold star No
. lie lust west of the Silver Legion al
Mob Hill. Like a number of the
neighboring properties. the group was
chlorided by high graders years age
and is credited with a goodly produc-
ton. The Legion vein system extends
into the Gold Star, and some minor de-
velopment work has been done. M. d

resumed recently a crosscut was run
tapping the shoot. Drifts are being
pushed each way on the pay streak
which is showing remarkable conti-
nuity in size and values.
The mine is owned by the Consoli-
dated Arizona Smelling company and
is now considered among the COM
pany's most valuable assets. 1t came
into public notice first when under de-
velopment under the management OF
e. A. Maggott several years ago
After the Humboldt smelter was built
it was purchased by the smelter COM
pany, and it's development continued;
1t was closed >after operations ceased
at the Humboldt plant two years ago.
The main shaft was unwatered at
the suggestion of F. N. Flynn. Mr..
Flynn made an exhaustive examina-
tion of the ground after the mine was
unwatered and had crosscut started
from the 500-foot level. His judgment
proved to be good, as the largest and
most valuable body of ore ever uncoV-
cred in the mine was encountered.

YUMA, oct. "A. L. Rose is here
from the Trigo mountains. He
h brings interesting reports of re
cent gold discoveries in that part OF
the country, of which little has been
told
Some claims were located there sew
eral months ago, but the discoverers,
instead of making a great noise about
their find in the neighborhood quiet
ly sought purchasers in the money CEN
ters and easily succeeded in interest
ing a syndicate of French capitalists.
They have made a sale or have bonded
their property.
All parties concerned are said to be
reticent as to their business affairs,
but the report is that the discoverers
are to receive 100000 for their claims.
Mr.. Rose saw that considerable
work had been done in the way of
leveling off camp sites, building roads
and other preparations for extensive
development. Watchmen are in charge
at the shafts and rich places on the
lodges to prevent visitors from carry
ing away specimens

STRIKE IN GOLD GULcH
STIRS PEOPLE OF MORENO

TUCSON, Oct. IA big copper strike
is reported on the Simpson group of
claims, situated in the famous Gold
Gulch near Morenci. The strike is of
sufficient Importance to excite a num-
Der of the Morenci people.
1t is reported to be an ore body
about twenty feet wide that will assay
between 40 and so per cent copper,
which, if correct, is a rather important
discovery.
The Simpson group is now owned by
the A. c. company and has been
worked by Mexican leasers some time.
This property is located in an impor-
tant section of the western part of the
district, and for years it has been
thought that a big copper discovery
would be made.
The extent of the new find has not
been made public, but it is understood
a permanent body of ore win be the
result. The high grade ore is not ex-
pected to remain. but if it does some
of the old copper mines of the district
won't be in it.

Octave Mine VIII InCreGSe
Output with Electric Power

In addition to resuming exploitation
of the mine and starting the 40-stamp
mill and cyanide plant with power
available from Wickenburg, it is
planned to start sinking a new perpen-
dicular shaft that will tap the main
Octave vein at an approximate depth
of 5000 feet on it's dip. The site selected
for this shaft is 1900 feet north of No.
3 working shaft, in the old town Of
Weaver. The shaft will be a three-com-
partment one, 6x20 feet in the clear,
with two-cage compartments, the third
to be used for pumping apparatus,
pipes and a, many way.
The sinking of this shaft means the
opening of the series of veins at an
approximate depth of 1000 feet from the
apexes 1900 feet below the bottom of
the deepest shaft now in the property.
The vein is opened from the three
shafts by over ten miles of drifts and
crosscuts The levels are connected by
raises blocking out the largest ore
bodies ever uncovered in the Weaver
district

He drove a tunnel in ten feet and was
getting ahead fast with 1t when the
roof caved in. He cleaned the drift
out and went on working and came to
solid formation in about ten feet more,
where he found granite with the quartz
ledge that promises to make him a
fortune.
The point where he struck it is about
fifteen feet from the surface and proves
the contention of those familiar with
the district that rich mines now COW
cred with wash would some day be
discovered here. All down the gulch
below the ledge placer gold can be
found, and now that such high values
are found in the ore it is probable
more diligent prospecting will uncover
some good diggings.
Mahir will develop his find which he
as well as everyone who has Inspected
it believes will prove tc be one of the
biggest things ever found in White
Pine county.

!" ICKENBURG, Oct. 3.-The Octave
w mine will be the scene of larger
development operations than at
any time since it's discovery, as soon as
additional machinery is installed at the
plant of the Central Arizona Electric
company at Wickenburg, declares one
in close touch with the companys af-
fairs. A plan of development is now
under consideration by the directors or
the company involving the expenditure
of at least 100000, which it is the in
tention to inaugurate as soon as elec-
trio power can be furnished from the
Wickenburg plant. Operations of the
company in the meantime are connnea
to the running of drifts under contract.
Preliminary to the resumption OF
operations the Wickenburg plant will
be increased in its capacity by the ad-
dition of a direct connected electric
generator, making the plant capable of
developing enough power and light to
furnish not only the Octave but ot9er
mines in the Weaver district with
mower and light.

Superintendent at Gregory Mine Near
Falon Uncovers Shoot of High
Grade, Cutting Through
Formation

FALLON, New, Oct. "a new
strike has been made at Camp Greg
orv that really surprises Mr.. Gregory
himself. superintendent Hitchcock
had been instructed to look along the
general course of the Crystal ledse'
when opportunity offered, to try ana
discover some signs of groupings. IN
doing so he uncovered bllnd leuSe
$40 feet northeast of the crystal shaLI
on Crystal Fraction ground, and only
fiftv feet from the end line OF the
Crystal claim.
Mr.. Gregory and w. S. Pyle have
made a careful examination of the
strike. At a depth of five feet the
ledge had wideped to about two feet
and a couple of tons of what is be-
lieved to be shipping ore had been
taken out. The character OF the ore
is bromide and hematite, and shows
permanency in every feature. From
the character and appearance it is be
lieved to be a shoot of genuine hlsh
grade they have been seeking from
the first. Mr.. Pyle took out pieces OF
ore that showed chunks of gold. He
says the ledge cuts right through the
formation and is a strong vein. -,
From appearances the Scotia VIII
soon be in the same character OF ore
The shaft is now down eighty-flVe rect.
OF course it is needless to say that
the Crystal shaft will come into the
same ore, for it is on the same vein.
The new discovery is described as an
ore shoot on the same ledge as the
Crystal. 1t has been the belief of Mr..
Cook and Mr.. Gregory that the ledge
cropped out at the surface some place,
if they could only be lucky enough to
find it.
They are letting the new strike
stand and continuing on the Crystal
and Scotia just as if nothing had oc--
Cured, except that the owners and
the men are greatly elated over the
development. 1t is expected that a
hoist will be installed at the Scotia
shaft in the near future.

AMERICANS OUTFIT FOR
MOUNTAINS OF SONORA

CULIACAN, Sonora, Mexico, Oct 3.
The Bismuth King smelter, near
Chacala. two days east of here, is
ready to blow in for a test run. Re
cent additions made to the plant have
increased its capacity and large quan-
titles of fuel, coke and ore are placed
in the bins. 1t is estimated that a
thirty day run of this plant will now
return the owners something better
than 100000.
Americans are now arriving on
every train, outfitting and starting
for the mountains. although the roads
are wet and it will be thirty days be-
fore the ranches will afford the travel
er a fair chance for food. During the
rainy season the farmers run short of
corn and beans and exist on squash
and fruit, which makes it hard on

C1TRAWBERRY, White Pine county,
- New, Oct 3.-Jacob Mahir has
~ made rich strike of gold ore in
the Bald mountain district that assays
from $500 to $1,000 ton. The find was
made while doing assessment work on
a claim owned by him for several years
and from all indications it will prove
a bonanza.
Lee johnson found a piece of very
rich float near the claim last spring
which assayed $4,000 in gold and 1000
ounces in silver but exhaustive pros
pecting failed to disclose where it had
come from. The piece of float was
white quartz and the ledge struck is
pronounced to be identical with it.
The find was entirely unexpected, as
Mahir had no idea he was so near a
bonanza when he looked for an easy
place to DO the annual assessment work
and picked out a spot on the hillside
that looked as if it would be right.

RUTH QUITS SHAFT
AND DRIFTS ON 1O5
TO DETERMINE SHOOT

KINGMAN, Oct 3.-In the Ruth mine
Superintendent Hilty has discontinued
sinking at 105 feet and is drifting on
both sides of the 100-foot level to deter
mine the extent of the ore shoot. The
shaft has been in ore all the day down
and now there are opened in the west
end of the drift eight feet of $25 ore,
and in the east end five feet of $40 ore.
Jack Leedy of Seattle, who owns the
biggest part of the Ruth, said in re-
cent interview that if the ore shoot
would hold out at the present values
for fifty feet on either side of the shaft
he would have blocked out $250,000.
The Ruth adjoins the historic old
Moss mine, where Capt. Moss in the
early sos made the first discovery of
gold in the county, and should from all
Indications prove as big a producer as
that property.

ing out of ore, the drift was contin-
ued until a connection was effected in
the 122-foot inclined shaft. Returning
to the ore a winze 80 feet deep was
sunk, without, however, developing
much more ore; and then drift was
