BLACKBERRY AN ACTIVE
ARIZONA SILVER CAMP

G. S. Holmes, of Salt Lake and
Los Angeles, has turned his talents
from building hotels to development
of mines
The blackberry is now the center
of the most active silver camp in
Arizona, having arrived at that stage
through the persistence of Holmes,
whose belief in the future of silver
impelled him to commence rehabili-
tation of his property two years ago.
Since that time there has been eX-
pended over $500,000, including the
cost of 200-ton mill that has been
turning out concentrates since June
/, enabling the blackberry to ship
three cars monthly that net $4,000
each. On September 1, two shifts
will be worked in mine and mill,
bringing the monthly income up to
between $4,000 and $4,000 per
month.
The blackberry was one of the
well known producers of early days,
the record of shipments amounting
to about $3,000,000 down to the
550-foot level The workings have
now been extended almost to the
1,000-foot level. with drift on the
600-foOt level over 700 feet long
that is all in ore. An average Of
278 samples taken by James Breen,
mining engineer Of Butte, returned
thirty-two ounces of silver, beside
the gold and lead content The work
now in progress is adding steadily
to the ore reserves, which are said
to be sufficient to run the 2OO-ton
mill for three years without further
work
Associated with Holmes in the
blackberry are Charles G. Green,
formerly cashier of the Citizens
National Bank of Los Angeles; c..
W. Herndon, state senator from Mo-
have county, and William Neagle,
for seventeen years associated with
Senator Clark in the United Verde
The blackberry is under Neagle's
management. Holmes has recently
returned from New York where some
of the larger financial houses par
ticipated in the distribution of
blackberry stock.-San Francisco

property which lies about four miles
west of Miami. This property con-
sists of group of thirty-three
claims lying on what is known as
Porphyry mountain Several thou
sand feet of adits have been driven
on this property by previous and
present owners and have exposed a
large tonnage of low grade primary

was made in the Indicator tunnel
where a 150-foot vein of two per
cent copper ore was encountered.
During the past year development
has been by churn drilling and the
company is now operating a No. "a
star churn drill. Four holes have
been completed to date and the fifth
is now being drilled. While no in
formation is available at present as

work are favorable. T. R. Drum
mond is general manager of the
property and J. E. Owen is in charge
OF development operations.
