 exposed in the porphyry on three
 levels, with considerable drifting on each. the vein averaging from three
 to sixteen feet or more in width and
 getting bigger all the time. The aver age values, not counting the high
 grade spots, run over $40 a ton gold
 and five per cent copped, besides
 some silver.
 On the eighth level the drifting has
 extended under where the lower ex-
 tension of the old Castle Garden ore
 shoot should be and handfuls of dirt thrown in a pan and horned without pounding up, give a string of gold that would make any high-grader's eyes glisten. Some of the gold is as coarse as grains of mustard or wheat, while the general average is probably higher than in any gold mine in Arizona, not counting the high grade.
 The ore in the upper and older workings is all free milling, but that now being opened up on the lower levels is rapidly showing the perma- nent sulphide character-an altered porphyry gangue with sulphides carry ing copper and gold disseminated all through it. Enough oXidized ore Is being taken out during the develop ment to keep thirty stamps running daytime. while the sulphides taken out of the drifts and crosscuts are be- ing piled up ready for treatment by oil Notation or water concentration when the new mill is built. No stoping is being done but the free-milling ores taken out in development are suffi- cient to keep the mill turning out bricks regularly. The company is practically a close corporation, and even closer mouthed, so it is impos- sible to state just what monthly re- turns are being realized, but from the way the ore pans and from what the miners and some of the little birds around the camp say, it must be enough to satisfy any reasonable man.
 Active work has just been started on the famous Glory Hole, which startled the mining world few years ago by producing about s60,00O in less than a week from a small surface pit less than F feet deep. Work has stopped because of troubles and dis sensions among the discoverers. Ev- erything has now been strengthened out and the property bought by the Glory Hole Bonanza Mines company, which now has a force of men at work under the direction of Dick Wick Hall, who was instrumental in the original discovery and has been the means of getting matters settled. Work is being prosecuted with a view to cutting the main cross-fissured zone which runs from the center of the old Glody Hole pit into the main ledge towering just above it. Already the men have cut a blind Assure which horns well in gold, and all seem en- thusiastic over the prospect of get ting a body of jewelry ore when the main Assure is cut and followed to its intersection with the main ledge. This ledge, which is nearly 200 feet wide, forms a conspicuous feature of the landscape, being an immense mass of quartz, spar and iron of the same character as that in the cross-fissure carrying the gold. When the original discovery was made, ore was picked up on the surface and taken out of the ground that was almost half of it gold. much of it running over SlOO pound just the way it was dug out. The property is practically as much of a prospect yet as it was the week of discovery and the development of the main ledge will be watched with interest. both on account of the high grade ore bodies that may be devel- oped as well as the possibility of it proving to be an immense body of milling ore of value sufficient to yield big profits.
