CHLORIDE QUEEN
 TO BE VISITED

About 30 stockholders of the Chlor- idle Queen Mining company from Phoenix and vicinity and from Ray and Hayden are planning on making a trip to Chloride in special Pullman sleeper which will leave here Friday evening, December '. arriving there Saturday morning. They will remain until Sunday afternoon so that the party will have ample time to look over the entire district as well as their own property.
 The camp at present is unusually active. It is reported that MT. Wright, owner of the Elkhart, is in the Chlor-
 idle district making preparations to start up this property, which at one time was one of the big producers in Mohave county. The Chloride Queen
 property which joins the Elkhart on the north is steadily sinking their main
 working shaft at the intersection of
 the north and south veins with the
 east and west veins, and Superintend-
 ent Rhea reports very favorably on the
 showing of stringers of silver assay
 ing 30 to 40 ounces and S5 in gold. The Los Angeles Examiner says in
 part in regard to existing conditions in
 the Chloride campt
 "The Tennessee has broken into the
 greatest body of ore ever found in the
 mine. It is so large that ore reserves
 sufficient to last six months have been opened up in less than ten days. This find was made on the 1170-foot level where a strong dyke, that has hereto fore terminated other ore shoots, was cut through to prove the correctness Of the theory and led to the great discov- cry, which has already added half a years supply to that previously in sight
 When the dyke is penetrated on the other levels and the same ore encoun- tered, which appears to be absolutely certain from the information available, the Tennessee, which has already pro- duced nearly s20,000,000 will be at the beginning of a production that will easily eclipse, it's previous record. This appears only to be the beginning of a succession of similar finds Four other mines almost simultaneously report rich ore strikes.
 Two thousand dollar ore has been encountered in the south drift on the 175-foot level of the Schenectady, the l three-foot ore shoot containing eight | inches that runs as high as 5000 a | ton. Until J. J. Robertson, president 1 of the New Mohawk. returns to the | city no assays will be published of | what is said to be the richest strike | yet recorded in that property, run ming into the thousands of dollars per l ton. Ruby silver is sprayed through l the ore shoot just broken into, about l fifty feet from the shaft on the west | drift. The ore shoot is eight inches | wide and widening perceptibly. The l Schuykill is passing through a splen- l did body of gold-silver-lead ore in the | south drift on the S00-foot level, the | shoot ranging from two to five feet in | width and now extends unbroken for more than fifty feet.
 l Superintendent D. F. Blake of the | Cupel mine has just brought in sam- l pies of ruby silver ore taken from the i drift from the Springer shaft that as- i say from 22S to 276 ounces silver and | 16 per cent lead.
 l "A. c. Stearns, president of the | Chloride Ore Reduction company is | planning to break ground within two
 weeks for the first 100-ton unit of the 5e0-t ton custom mill which his company l is to install at Chloride. This is wei 1 coAne news to the entire mining com | munity for the lack of a custom mil | has held back Chloride to great ex- tent during tne past lWelNe uioHlHs There are about fifty mines within 6 | radius of two miles of the new mill ] and none have milling facilities, witt the exception of the Tennessee and tht
 Copper Age, while they have eithel blocked out or on the dumps nearly 200. 900 tons of milling ore, a condition | which probably does not exist in an, other mining section in the country.
 '1t is the confident belief of Chlor
 ide mining men that with the erection
 of the Stearns custom mill Chlorid
 will become one of the most import l ant of siIYer-lead producers"
