NEWS FROM MT. GRANT.
Development Work Is Being
Steadily Prosecuted.

r. Is. Gambel was in frem the Mt
Grant district last Saturday and is op-
timistic in his report of progress.
Frank Hicks and Henry Kneirim, who
have bond and lease on what is known
as the Webster property, have run a
crosscut tunnel which tapped the vein
at a depth of 10 feet. At this point the
vein is 20 feet wide and is said TO aver
age $40. 50 per ton in gold. Messrs.
Hicks and Kuierim are running another
tunnel lower down, which is now III $50
feet. In about 81 feet more the same
vein tapped with the other tunnel will
be opened up $50 feet below the surface
If paw values, evenly distributed, are
found at this point the erection of a
mill will be justified.
Across the road from the Webster
property Mr.. Gambel has prospect on
which is a 4-foot vein which has been
opened up in six or eight different plac-
rs for a distance of 1909 feet, At a
depth of 10 feet the walls are well de
fined, it being a contact ledge between
porphyry and granite. At this depth OF
10 feet values of 81 per ton III gold are
obtained.
At the Keystone the boarding house,
bunk house and other surface improve
meuts are about completed, and grading

FAIR STRIKE AT BUCKSK|N
The Camp Is Recovering From the Leth-
argy of the PaniC---AnteIope and
SeatOn Groups Show Well.

l.. W. frankie and +. II. Walker
went over to Buckskin on the Fourth TO
look over the Antelope group. of which
the former is an owner. and also to look
at a strike which was recently made by
A. ]. Mcdaniel in the Seaton group
adjoining the Antelope.
The strike in McDannels property is
not of any great magnitude as yet, but
there is every indication to warrant the
belief that it will develop into one of
considerable importance. Mr.. Nc
Dannel has been sinking a Wine from
the tunnel and at a point about Is feet
under the outcrop he is getting out
some fine looking copper ore. 1t is
rather spotted as yet, and the water IS
bothering considerably, but as he is in
the same lime e-porphyry formation as
that OF the Antelope, it is confidently
believed that a few more feet in depth
is all that is necessary to disclose a good
ore body
The Antelope group, which Mcdaniel

deposit OF iron sulphides, with copper
showing through the entire mass. 1t
has been examined by numerous ex-
perts and practical mining men and the
concensus of opinion is that it gives
promise of being one of the big mines
of the Yeringtou section. There is
much to warrant this belief, and frankie
and associates, the owners, are justified
in the confidence in its future which
they express.
They will soon resume work in the
main shaft now down IS feet, which is
being sunk a little to the west OF big

showing in different workings and as

in activity.

The strike is looked upon as i'm

10 and l2-horse teams left Nerington
Thursday morning for Copper mountain,
near Mono lake, with cement for the
new power plant which is being put III

be a pious idea tor the effort to be

Replaced by New One of 400.

Mr.. Arthur J Henderson, pro
prletor Ofthe Winslow Telephone
Company, desiring to give his
patrons the best service possible,
has had installed during the past
week 4 new Kellog switch board
with a capacity of 400 drops.
as against so in the board which
has just been replaced
The work of installing the new
board was done under the super
vision of w. A. Smith, of Pres
cott, one of the Overland Tele
phone Companys electricians S,
ably assisted by Geo. E. Reed.
AS a result of these improve
ments the business houses will
each be placed on a seperate
wire thereby facilitating any
business they may have by fone.
The greater portion of the resi-
dence toneS will also be placed
on seperate lines thereby doing
away with the present system
of party lines and avoiding some
cQQfusion owing to a misunder-
standing in patrons reading their
calls.
Under the present arrange
ment with the new switchbC ard
the local telephone Office is en-
abled to connect subscribers
with any point desired on the
Overland lines as well as with
the Holbrook- St. Johns people,
this proving a great convenience
to users of the telephone it not
being necessary for them to
leave their homes or their place
of business to seek a long dis
tance booth.
When the improvements as
contemplated by Mr.. Henderson
have been completed, Winslow
will have a telephone system
second to none and we'll worthy
of a town many times greater
in population.

WARNING FOR BOYS
ON HALLOWEEN

Halloween will soon be upon
us with the usual pranks of the
youngsters customary on this
occasion. We wish to give word
OF warning hoping to prevent
any serious trouble.
Since the installation of the
sewer system in Winslow MANY
property owners have, at con-
siderable expense, put in patent
closets connecting the same with
the sewer Should some of the
more mischievously inclined
young folks follow up their prac-
tice of former years in overturn-
ing these out houses it will prove
very costly to the owners of pro
perty and very likely result in
much trouble for the miscreants.
OF course, boys will be bows, but
it would be tor the good of the
community if parents would
take it upon themselves to warn
their boys and make them under
stand that in Overturning out
houses this year they will be
damaging very valuable proper
ty and laying themselves liable
to something more than censure
as many owners of property are
already considering ways and
means to protect their posses
sions some of which measures
are drastic indeed.
For the peace and welfare of
the community 1T is to be hoped
the boys will look at this matter
seriously and consider carefully
OF what their pranks will consist.
