MONTE CRISTO HAS
RICH ORE ON DUMP
OrebOdv in Silver Cord Group Is Be
Heved Longest in Yayapaf COUntyj
Is n Blanket Vein.

Prescott, Ariz, Feb. 2S.-A great
quantity Of rich ore has been piled up
CD the dump of the Monte Christie
mine, and the opening up of the prop
eTty continues more and more every
day. New hosting machinery is being
installed, and during the progress Of
this work no ore is being mined or
shipped. The company IS following a
systematic plan of mine development
and believes it has a really great sill
Yer property, once It gets to shipping.
Ore is being exposed in large guam
tltV IN the Big Blue camp and the de-
VelOpment of the mine is going ahead
with satisfactory results A small force
of men is now employed at the prop
erty- The force is to be increased as
soon as the workings are in shape to
accommodate a larger number

Of It's new quartz mill which viii be
started working IN a short time. work
in the mine is to be resumed at once.

being built.
Perhaps the longest orebOdy in Yav-
apal county IS that which extends en-
tiTelv through the Silver Cord group
Of three claims and also through two
adjoining claims, formerly the property
of judge Brooks. The vein has been
stripped and otherwise exposed for the
entire distance. The Silver Cord group,
comprising the Silver Cord Infanta
and Cutter claims are owned by for
mer sheriff j. r. Lowry and partners,
and are situated about four miles south
by wagon road from Turkey Creek sta
ton, on the Bradshaw Mountain road.
During the past 25 years a large
amount of ore has been taken from the
claims, much of the work being done
by leasers who shipped to the FL PasO
smelter
It is a blanket vein, horizontal in
some places and in others dipping
slightly into the mountains. Having

Phoenix for many months IS the sale
OF the old Red Rover mine, so miles
northwest of this city, in the Mazazlne
district to a local syndicate headed Dy

time. they will snip one last carload Of
ore. which runs 50 percent copper and
also carries heavy silver values!
The purchasers have engaged Nell
McGill as superintendent and viii IN
dertake extensive development work
Immediately. Already they have sent
. out some men to make certain surface
improvements and they also plan to
repair the wagon road from the mine
to Phoenix.
The first work will be to unWater
the lower workings. The main shaft
is down $40 feet and as soon as the
water has been disposed Of, it viii be
sunk deeper, with levels at frequent in
-terVals. The shaft is all in excellent
ore Not all the ore developed runs as
high as that which has been shipped.
The shipments have been sorted stuff

ARIZONA EMPIRE
MINES ACQUIRED
Syndicate OF Capitalists Buy Properties
Near Parker for sum Said to
Have Been 100000.

Parker, Ariz., Feb. 28.-A syndicate
of well known mining men and capital
lists has taken over the Arizona Empire
group, a few miles northeast of Par
ker, and development work will be i'm
mediately inaugurated on a large
scale.
Among the members of the syndicate
are: E. J. Carter, brother to the late
senator Tom Carter, of Montana; L. W
Getchell, of Prescott, superintendent Of
the Cash mine, at Senator; o. L. John
son, Seattle multi millionaire who
cleaned up a fortune in the KlOndyke;
Capt. W. J. Dawson, an engineer of
Butte Montana. The sale was made by
Moses Bros. and James II. Watson,
OF Los Angeles, who held a controlling
interesting in the Arizona Empire com
pany.
The price is reported to be close to
half a million dollars. A substantial
cash paymemnt has already been made.
Under the terms of the contract work
at the mine must be under way by
March 9. A new wagon road will be
built from Parker by way of the Billy
Mack mine, which will shorten the dis
lance some three miles. Captain DaW-
son will be in charge as superintend-
ent.
No property in Arizona has a more
attractive surface showing of gold
copper ore. About 100000 has been
spent in development and some ore has
been shipped.

MINE OWNERS WANT
FREIGHT RATES CUT

Kingman, Ariz- Feb. 28-Mohave
county mine owners are anxious to
have freight rates on ore to Douglas
reduced and to have the Douglas smell
ters change their present system of
penalizing for silica It is reported
that the matter of freight rates Will
soon be taken up with the state corpor-
alton commission.
Nearly all the ore produced in Mo-
have county is silicious. The Copper
Queen smelter at Douglas penalties ST
liciOus ore at the rate or six cents a
unit. This, mining men say, is unfair.
Some shelters require silicious ores
and are willing to pay a premium for
that content The United Verde smell
ter, at Jerome, is one that pays for
silica but it cannot smelt a fraction or
the ores the Mohave mines are capable
Of producing.
Lower freight rates. the mine owners
claim, viii enable them to ship to
Douglas, even if the silica penalty is
continued. Little ore now goes from
Mohave to Douglas.
