BIZ REBEL GOLD MINES ARE IN
 NEW HANDS
WISHART COMPANY AC- QUIRES EARLY DAY PRO- DUCERS AND NEW MILL IS GOING UP.
(From Wednesdays Daily.l

Ot the many mining deals closed in
 this field in recent months in which
 oldtime mines figure prominently.
 that transaction affecting the Big
 Rebel group. situated two miles west
 of Walnut Grove, is most interesting.
 This property was taken over some time ago by the Wishart Company.
 9f California, and after the old work
 lngs were cleared out and exploration gwen, two-steam stamp mill was ordered and IS now being erected. Ore tonnage exposed and on the dump from former operations is re- ported to be sufficient to support re- auction for months to come. It IS expected that the plant will be in action before another month elapses.
 The Big Rebel first came into prominence nearly a third of a cen tury ago. when owned by Grizzly" Callen. From the grass roots its yield ran into the thousands, and its high grade free milling ores created quite an excitement in that field. Litiga- ton later developed, and patent was issued for only two claims owing to an adverse ruling. Callen left the country and owing to feeble health and old age, ceased active mining on his patented locations. At one time, 1t IS stated, he refused flat offer ot S25,OOO in cash for the two claims. The new company mas enlarged its holdings by adding additional loca- tions, and proposes to go ahead ener- eetically. J. M Wishart is mainly behind this movement, composed of a few shareholders. and his mine SUI perintendent is C. D. Rynearson. The people entered this section about a year ago, conducting placer operation on the Hassayampa, and but lately concluded to expand their business by engaging in quartz min ng.
