Ore Shoot, Fifty Feet Long and from Four to Five Feet Wide, Running $253 to Ton Found in Yavapai.
IS ONE OF THE BIG
 FINDS OF THE YEAR
Strike is Made in Bradshaw Mountain and Gives Some Indication of the Potent Pos abilities of that Section.
(By William P. De Wolf.)

PRESCOTT, Arizona, april S.-An ore shoot fifty feet long and from four | to five feet wide, having a value of 7 S253.6S silver to the ton and a copper content of S.6 per cent to the ton, has been opened on the property of the Tuscumbia Mining & Milling compa- ny. The vein carrying the shoot gives returns of IA per cent copper and S55.32 silver per ton. The assays were made at the R. H. Hetherinston Metallurgical works in this city on a silver valuation of SO cents perounce. The assay returns follow:
 Four Assays Made. Sample No. 1-talc-silver per ton 4.2. Sample No. Pa taken from the vein in tunnel No. 2, silver per ton 9.6 ounces. Sample No. 3, taken from ore shoot opened in tunnel No. 3 in late March, copper per ton 3.6 per cent and silver per ton 422.S ounces, or s253,6S. Sample No. I, taken across the vein at point 300 feet in from the por.al of tunnel No. 3, copper per ton IA and silver per ton 92.2 ounces. or s55.32.
 Significanc. of Strike.
 The discovery is one of potent pos abilities and paramount importance to the mining industry of the Brad shaw mountains, as the ore is identi- cal in appearance with the high grade ores of the famous Tonopah district of Nevada, and carries a silver con tent equal thereto. It was. in fact, the similarity of the silver-bearing ores of the Bradshaw mountains 10 those of Tonopah that attracted the attention of former Nevada mining men othat section of Yavspai coun- ty some months ago and resulted in the resumption of mining operations in the Tuscumbia.

 Influence on Others.
 The similarity of the Bradshaw mountains ores to those of Tonopah, and in cetrain important instances to those of Goldfeld. was instrumental in influencing pr. F. A. Wheeler and. associates to finance the Bradshaw mountains tunnel project-an enter prise kindred in purpose to the devel- opment, drainage and transportation tunnels of the Cripple Creek district of Colorado. The recent discovery on the Tuscumbia corroborates the fav- orable reports on the Bradshaws made by Dr. Wheeler and his en. gineers It also strengthens the be- lief of the operators there that the section offers ore-yielding opportuni- ties akin to those of Tonopah. Like wise, it is proving an incentive for the resumption of operations on prop critics which have for considerable periods been quiescent.
 Tonopah Man Made Strike.
 James H. Sullivan. general manager of the Tuscumbia Mining & Milling company's property, made the strike before referred to within three weeks from the date he assumed charge of development work. Sullivan is a for mer Tonopah and Manhattan, Nevada, mining man. He was one of the num- Der of successful lease operators in the first mentioned camp during it's early days, and is, therefore. capable of making an intelligent comparison of the Tuscumbia ores with those of the Mizpah, Belmont and other well
  He says the silver-bearing veins in the Bradshaw mountains are indenti cal in appearance with those of Ton opah and that their silver content is on par herewith. In discussing the Tuscumbia strike with your repre- sentative. Mir. Sullivan said:
 Important in Bearing.
 Tn my opinion the recent discovery in the Tuscumbia mine of silver copper ore body having a silver value of S253.6S per ton, will have an i'm portant bearing upon further mining operations in the Bradshaw mountains as it will tend toward an increase in mining effort there: and increased mining effort is all that is required for an increase in the mine product there. The ore in the Tuscumbia, and elsewhere throughout the Bradshaws. is markedly similar to that of Ton opah and offers no reduction problem which cannot be solved by the oil Notation process.
