Camp Tells Another Story

WINCHESTER, via Vicksburg, April
1S.-The big gold strike, commonly
called the Salome strike, is getting
better and richer every day. Every
shot brings up the rich values and the
vein is now showing the mineral in
place and the vein in regular forma-
ton. The shaft is now down fifteen
feet and the cross-cut is in about the
same and both are showing up fine ore.
The shaft is going down on the rich
vein and the same high values are still
being maintained. To date over $4,000
in gold has been taken out. Two full
shifts are working on the property
In addition to the first big strike
many other excellent strikes have been
made. The best of these is the Mitch
ell strike about a mile from Winches-
ter. While this strike does not pro-
duce as much picture gold as the first
bonanza yet the values are there and
assays run into the thousands of dol
lars per ton. The Mitchell strike has
about eight feet of very high grade ore
and has all of the earmarks of great
mine. A force of men will be put to
work the first of the week on this
property and it is expected to develop
big mine.
Another rich strike was made on the
Salome- Hillside property, which ad-
joins the big bonanza.
Between twenty and thirty claims
surrounding the big bonanza are being
surveyed and plated ready for leasing
and many applications are being made
daily for leases on the various prop
critics.
The new town of Winchester is
flourshing. The town is located at the
old Desert we'll right at the foot of the
mountain and at the mouth of the big
wash and is a beautiful site for city.
Winchester already has one store,
saloon, two restaurants and lodging
houses and a lumber yard. Within an
other week there will be at least three
stores and several more stores of vari-
Gus kinds, besides restaurants and
lodging houses.

SELLS SILVER
ORE FOR $3.50
C0RDILLERA MINE DISP0SES
OF TONNAGE
MEXICO PROPERTY YIELDS HAND
SOME RETURNS
Thousands of Tons in Sight Said to
Run as High-Silver Land COM
prises 549 Acres-Some
Gold Land

A silver mine that can produce ana
sell twenty-five tons of ore for $3.50 a
ton may be considered as first-class
proposition, yet this is exactly what
occurred recently at the property of
the Cordillera Mining company, and
the further fact may be added that
the company has in sight many thou
sand tons of ore just as good and some
of it better.
The mines of this company are To-
Gated in the state of Sonora, Mexico,
about seventeen miles east of the
sleepy little Mexican village of Mag
dalena and eight miles west of its
big neighbor, the Black Mountain
mine. The company owns 54S acres
of silver land and sixty-two acres OF
high-grade gold and copper land. It's
silver ore runs all the way from one
hundred to several thousand ounces
of the white metal to the ton. 1t is a
demonstrated fact that it is one of the
richest silver propositions in the state
of Sonora. There appears to be no
guesswork about the Cordillera prop
erty. It has been examined by scores
of scientific mining men and engineers.
and the evidence of its great value and
fabulous wealth is vastly cumulative,
and the story of it reads almost as
graphically as that of the famous
Isolde. Scores and scores of assays
reach into the three and four thousand
figures, with the sign of dollars in
front of them, besides the gold and cop
per values.
The mineralized zone on the property
is over 700 feet wide and 5000 feet long.
In this immense ledge is a pay streak
forty feet wide that runs better than
seventy ounces of silver to the ton be-
sides its other values. In places they
have native silver.
Extent of Developments
over 1900 feet of development work
has been done, and includes one smart
down 207 feet, another sixty feet and
another thirty feet, beside other work
in the shape of drifts and crosscuts.
Veins which were only a few inches
wide on the surface have widened to
three and four feet at depth of only
thirty-four feet. The main shaft is a
double compartment, each compart-
ment being Az by Az feet.
The company will in the near future
begin prosecuting at the 2OO-toot level
and thus reach the rich veins and
stringers of high-grade sulphide silver
ore known to exist.
The Cordillera facilities for mining
are unsurpassed. 1t is equipped with
a frst-class modern hosting plant and
other machinery, and with proper de-
velopment it will, it is believed, become
a bonanza of international repute.
The company is incorporated for ST.,
100000 in dollar shares. John 7. Allen is
president and DR.. Charles A. Hammett,
one of the leading osteopath physicians
of Los Angeles, is secretary and treas
urer Their main office is POI Citizens
National bank building, where rich ore
is displayed.

MoRGANToWN MILL
NEARs COMPLETION

MORGANTOWN, April 1S.-The new
mill of the Nevada-Victor Milling and
Refining company is nearing compile
tion, and it is hoped to have the
stamps dropping about May 1. The
water question is one of vital i'm
portance at present. Foreman Ed Har-
rison is sinking the well as fast as
two shifts can send 1t, and reports an
increase in the flow of water.
1t is evident that considerable depth
will be required to secure a supply of
water for ten stamps. The question
of a supply of ore seems to be posi-
lively settled. There is such con-
gestion of ore at the mine that work
is greatly retarded.
1t is estimated that 800 tons of ore
are on the dump ready for the mill.
The hillside mine has vein of ore six
to eight feet thick, showing heavy ga
lena and silver bromides. This vein is
uncovered for a distance of 200 feet
and shows by cropping on the surface
several hundred feet farther.

Activity in Sonora

TUCSON, April 1S.-Major f. r.
Burnham agent for John Hays Ham
mond in Mexico, reports that the min
ing interests in the state of Sonora are
more active than ever before. Phelps,
Dodge Co. and the Hartman interests
are rushing construction of railroads
that will open all large and rich
mineral districts to low cost trans
portation. About 5000 more miners are
at work today in Sonora than We're
employed at the beginning Of the year
During last week thirty-nine carloads
of United States-made mining ma
chinery went into Sonora and Chihua-
hua, and more is almost daily rushed
in. The closing of the Yaqui war has
given a new impetus to business. and
the entire northwest portion of Mexico
is on the verge of a commercial uplift.

SALOME GLORY HOLE
FAILS TO STAND UP
BUYERS REFUSE TO PAY AND
BREAK CONTRACTS
That Too Much Was Asked for Frop-
erty Is Claim Made-Work
Comes to a Stand-
still

PHOENIX, April 1S.-Feeling that
the present showing on the Arizona
Northern group of claims near Salome,
upon which the much -heralded Glory
Hole strike was made, does not war
rant their paying as much money for
the property as they had agreed to
pay. the syndicate composed of David
Hahn, c. B. King Hand their associates
have thrown up their contract to pur'
chase. The group now reverts to the
original locators of the strike, Barker,
Alger and Griffin.
Work upon the property has been
entirely suspended. The locators, how
ever have not lost faith and announce
their intentions of Immediately putting
force to work.
Soon after the strike was made,
Sharpe, Shear, King and several local
persons purchased the group which
had been staked out. Dick Hall was a
sort of go-between. The exact pur-
chase price is a secret, but it is under
stood to have been high.
Two payments were made upon the
property by the syndicate and about
$4,000 was spent in development work.
A third payment fell due yesterday
and the syndicate did not pay it, but
asked for better terms, which were
refused by Alger and associates.
Rumors concerning the strike
have been rife about Phoenix for sew
eral days, but it was not definitely
known that the syndicate had with
drawn from the deal until late yes
terday.
The syndicate still retains the Hill
side group adjoining the Arizona
Northern, and will endeavor to make
a mine of this property. 1t is in this
group that stock has been sold and
not in the Arizona Northern company.

Copper Situation Improves

There has been slight improvement
in the demand for copper, especially
copper wire, for domestic consump-
tion. This was not enough, however,
to make any inroads on the unmarked
ed surplus. Foreign demand in March
was much better than in February and
the revival of business will encourage
more liberal buying here.
Vast schemes for railroad electrifica-
ton are in the air, and with a return
of normal conditions will be brought
into effect. The copper producers
maintain a cheerful attitude regard
ing the future, which is wholly com
patble with the views of those who
believe in the coming greater pros
perity and development of the coun-

AS in the other strike the extent of this
body has not been ascertained.
Good grades of commercial ore are
being encountered more frequently in
the Junction mine now than in any
other mine in the district, and with
the discoveries of oxides at low depths
it is as certain as anything in mining
can be that the Junction will be a deep
mine of great richness.
Recent developments north of the
Junction shaft will undoubtedly create
a more favorable impression for Denn,
as there is slight probability of the ore
bodies ending at the Junction side lines,
and the bodies encountered in the ex-
treme northern workings of the juno
tion apparently trend toward the DEM
property
