PRESCOTT BANKS RECEIVE BIC
BULLION CONSIGNMENT
Estimated Total Receipts of Bricks
and Placer Dust for Shipment Are
seventy-five Thousand Dol
lars a Month

PRESCOTT, Sept. 12.-Receipts in
gold bullion in this city last week were
heavy, and for a single day reached
the maximum in amount for some
weeks past The first consignment
was a fine bar that went in value to
over $500 to the Bank of Arizona, and
it will go to the mint. 1t was deposited
by A. D. Barnhart, the D3sayer The
property that produced it was not
given.
At the Prescott National bank one
shipment of a single bar that weighed
230 ounces from the Congress mine,
was received, and another that regis
tered It's ounces from the Poland was
also placed in the care of that bank
ing house. With the Congress bar was
a carload of high grade concentrates
that was sent to the Ell Paso smelter.
In another line of gold receipts was
the cleanup of several placer miners,
some of the shipments of this yield
passing through mercantile channels,
while the banking houses and the
express company handled the re-
mainder.
A farmer coming into the city Satur-
day picked up a nugget on Lynx creek
that weighed SIS. 1t was washed up
from the bedrock by the terrific rush
of water in the recent storm that swept
lying on the bank, and was agreeably
surprised at his good fortune.
Reports from the Arizona city field on
Big Bug are that considerable dust is
being taken from that discovery, and
several men are engaged in the work
of placer mining. Up and down that
old stream several men are at work
sluicing and rocking, an abundance of
water being available.
Along the Hassayampa and at the
Placerita gulch more men are at work
placer mining at the present time than
in years past, and some big nuggets
are being found at the latter place.
1t is conservatively estimated at the
present time that the total receipts a
month in this city of gold bullion and
placer dust will run close to $4,000.

Other claims at this camp are the
j. F. Main properties. Mr.. Main, who
was the original promoter, owns eleven
claims, chief of which are the east
and west extensions of the Homer
running from $S to $500 gold. On an
other tungsten ores have been found
that run from 40 to 70 per cent tung-
site acid or tungstic tri-oxlde. Colorado
parties are preparing to take over some
of these claims and a Pasadena syndi-
cate is preparing to develop another.

SHOSHONE CLEANUP
FOR THIRTY DAYS
AMOUNTS TO $4,000

RHYOLITE, Sept. 12 - The big
monthly cleanup at the Shoshone has
been completed and the melting is now
under way. 1t is adjudged that the re-
sulting bullion will amount to about
$4,000 ounces This, together with the
saving from the midmonthly cleanup,
will bring the total for the month of
August up to about 10000 ounces. This
bullion is worth a little better than 81
an ounce. The production for the
month was between $4,000 and $4,000.
The amount of ore handled for the
same period was $500 tons. This shows
an average saving from every ton
handled of about $S.
The Chilli mill is hung up on account
of a break in one of the main sockets
at the base of the machine. Otherwise
the mill is working properly.

PRESCOTT, Sept. 12-As develop

is proving to be the real treasure box

lied by a succession Of large and rich
ore shoots in the vein which vary in
length from 200 to 500 feet and were
mined for a total length of 1000 feet.
opened in the west end of the mine.
A large shoot, already known to exist,
has recently been opened in the deeper
workings, samples from the breasts of
the drifts, which are taken every day,
averaging about $50 a ton. Ore run
inng from 500 to $3.50 a ton is a com
mon occurrence. This shoot is about
200 feet long and from 20 to 80 feet
thick.
On the 300-foot level the shoot is
Is feet thick at the crosscut. The drift
ing follows the hanging wall, but it is
a fact that the values on the foot wall
are the richest.
w. Spencer Hutchinson, consulting
engineer for the company, has just re-
turned from Prescott with an air
compressor and concentrating machin-
cry which the company proposes to
install.
A gratifying circumstance in con-
nection with the ore in this mine is
that they are running into sulphides
and were very much surprised to learn
that their sulphide ore amalgamates as
well as their free gold, amalgamating
so per cent of the values, which is
considered high.
Chauncey Whitmore, the amalga-
mator. is an expert in his line and one
of the best in the country, and to his
skill is attributed a large part of the
amalgamating success. That the ore
shoots in the Vulture mine are very
deep is practically foregone con-
cI11 sion.

ledge, which averages about three and
a half feet in width on the surface, has
greatly widened out.
Assays of samples taken from the
open cuts and the shaft show an aver
age value of about $12 a ton in the
yellow metal. There are indications
that silver ore NAV also be encoun-
tered.
The ledge runs right into the river
and just below a great deal of placer
gold has been found. The location is
exceptionally favorable for the erection
of a mill. Being right on the river

Horan of the Needles is opening one of
the largest and richest copper proper
ties in this district. Sensational values
in both copper and gold are reported
from these claims.
1t is reported that the C. & A. peo-
pie of Arizona are to do some eXten-
sive exploration work on and around
some of these properties last referred
to, operations to begin some time this
month.
Out on the fiat midway between the
Klinefelter camp and the Sunrise dis
trict is a new prospect that is unique
for this section. The Joe Cannon group
of claims is owned by De Lape and Will
son, where a ledge is being exploited
by both shaft and tunnel. This ledge
gives returns of from Is to So per cent
lead, 10 to 40 ounces of silver, to 10
per cent copper and from So to $5 in
gold. The ledge crops out boldly for
several hundred feet, appearing be-
tween the old conglomerate, which
forms the hanging wall, and a black
lime footwall, the vein-filling being
soft lime and barium sulphate. -Four
miles of substantial wagon road have
been built connecting this group with
the railway at Klinefelter The owners

Some rose quartz struck early in the
