 gently sunk This work was done
 in chalcedonic quartz dyke instead
 of as formerly on the various quartz
 veins crossing their property. Their
 ore is said to be almost good enough
 to ship, and further work is being
 figured upon to try and develop this
 ore shoot further
 Coughran Brothers of this place
 have the contract for loing the as
 sessment work for Judge Hawkins
 on some claims lying between the
 Kass ground and Tom, Sanders
 camp. A great deal of work has
 been done on this ground and con-
 siderable good ore is in evidence.
 Leonard Flint, representing the
 Skull Valley Mining and Milling
 Company is doing strong piece of
 work on his company's holdings.
 From the face of their 220 foot tun-
 nel he is making a crosscut to pick
 up a strong quartz vein which runs
 throughout the length of three
 claims. This tunnel has already cut one ore shoot of smaller size and of lower value than the one for which the tunnel is now being driv- en. Mir. Flint is a practical Colorado miner and experienced millman and understands every branch of the mining business. His company has been exploiting ground in this dis trict for the past four years, and he has been studying the district He is convinced that not only are there great possibilities here in gold mining, but, that in the vast prophyry zone, known as the Buttes, and which are a landmark for many miles around this section by reason of their great altitude. that there is to be found large bod IeS of disseminated copper ores which should readily yield to con centration. By continuing the pres ent tunnel on this ground, this DOT ohyry may be tapped at any time. as there are many high ridges of the oorphyry showing on the surface md there may be as many more GOV red by the detritus, from the higher ground. This tunnel is running di- ectly toward the porphyry buttes md IS gaining depth very rapidly. ir. Flint will continue development indefinitely.
 Mrs. May Brow is doing consider ble work on her group of g claims ying northwest from the Skull Val ey NJ. & NJ. Company's holdings. rank Chinesmith is in charge of he development work and is driving
 tunnel directly toward the big but es. and is opening up some fine cop { CT sulphide ores indicating that the ( re zone is not far ahead of the I resent tunnel face Mrs. Brow has bout S12,000 worth of development . -ork done and aside from the ore t lowing in the present new work lgs. has a number of other ore g loots exposed on the ground. It is 1 that the present work is ( ) cover assessment work for two T ears. a The Haney group with one pat l. lted claim adjoins the Brow group 0 the North, and has been develop V to depth of 36O feet,,nGonsid- C able ore was shipped from the s ,operty and said to net SIS per ton. l, he ore vein averages about three p ot though all the ore is not. of, the p tipping quality, but miners who k low the ground say that it will d pay handsomely to mill if the n operty is properly equipped, and a
 little more development done to a 1t quantity of ore in sight sufi- a ent to warrant the mill. Il Adjoining the Haney group is the s, operty of the old Pioneer Thos. c Sanders. He has been camped n
 the ground for the past ten or si teen years and has done S25,000 n orth of development including good n ads into his property. Mr Sand el s IS getting old and is anxious in
 get capital interested to put his al ines on paying basis, or else ex- q ode them if they fail to come up fl,
 his expectations long harbored te ing one of the first to enter the al strict after the Indian wars were CT, 1t is natural that he should gl We some ground of merit in his 24 oi lims. He has many a dump of Sl cd looking ore. ty Judge N. L. Griffin, postmaster of co , Pioneer home and his old friend CT m. Cooper of this place, are the su -ners of three good tookinp claims to
