(THEO. A. WODRUFF.)

he mining outlook tflDulafE TO laT-
ker, is looking up and parties bearing
pointed influence in the mining and
smelling world have instructed some
Of their mining engineers to visit
this section with view to becoming
interested in some OF the many good
copper and gold properties that are
now lying dormant for want OF cap
ital and intelligent and experienced
mining men to open them up.
Title to mining property here is
generally good and good prospects
and developed mines can now be as
sured to purchasers without the an
noyance of the one-time professional
stalker OF mining claims, who simply
posted notices OF discovery and lCca-
ton thereon without complying with
the law OF doing the required work
and duly surveying: and recording.
The intelligent and experienced
prospector knows that mines are made
and not discovered and that it is not
so much luck as pluck, hard work anG
capital that makes mining a success
Parker is situated just outside the
Colorado River Indian reservation,
which is expected to open for settle
ment at all early date. There are
some valuable leads Of gold, copper
and other ores discovered on this res
erVation that will no doubt be worked
after the reservation is thrown open,
which will considerably add to the
mining industry Of Parker.
Having practically covered the Sen
eca mining district, will simply men
Ion the names and some data of pro
perties situated therein that are
known to have pay ore and having
g measurable tonnage Of ore under
ground and on the dumps, to-wit:
The CarnatiOn Mine. II miles north
east Of Parker, has mountain dome
shaped peak 200 feet high by 300feet
III diameter that assays all over the
surface $27.00 gold and copper and
a 500 foot shaft with drift 80 feet
into the pay ore shoot and not
through it will start work very soon
The Osborne Mine, situated on the
south side of the Carnation, is ex-
pected to soon resume work and ore
shipments
The Roberts-Allen ATavis Mine,
situated on the north side line of the
CarnatiOn, having an incline shaft of
100 feet and 100 it. OF drifts and tun-
nels On their west end claim will con-
tinue to ship ore tOthe smelters that
nets them around 5000 per ton. And
their ore on dump and the Soft. high
and so feet in diameter dome shaped
peak that is Just south east Of their
shaft which assays all through and
on the surface around ten dollars
may soon be worked at a profit by
parties who may put in a plant to
treat ores at the river.
The O'Mara mine, situated on the
east end Of the Mavis property, has
produced some splendid looking cop
per ore to ship. to the smelter
The Eagle mine, situated west OF
the O,Mara mine, having a consider
able tonnage Of rich' cOpper-gold ore,
is to resume work very soon
Northeast OF the Eagle mine, dis
| tant 1000 feet, on Red mountain, the
Pritt Brothers are working their pro
perty getting out ore to ship to the
smelter, and Mrs Guyer has some
valuable copper property there and on
one is a considerable dump Of low
grade copper-gold ore.
About 1000 feet southwest of the
Eagle mine is the A. l.. p. mine hav-
ing two feet and better of ore tina
assays around $50 per ton in gold
and copper, and tunnel is started i'll
on the hanging wall of its 25-foot
ledge that at a distance of about
200 feet will attain a vertical depth
OF fully 200 feet at point Of junction
| lunde" the apex Of the dome shape
peak CT three known leads, where,
no doubt, there is a bonanza of val
liable Gre. There is also tWof
VEIN OF copne-r and gold ore in the
4O-foot shaft Of the Thelma claim ad-
Joining OH the north side lille the
l.. P. claim which is one of the
group of four claims of the A. L. p.
mine, that also assays around $50.
per ton the other claims of the
group are the Malburn, on which
there is some high grade gold ore as
we'll AS copper ore, and adjoining the
west end line of the Thelma is the
Quartzite claim of the group, on
which there is a spring of good drink
