The showings being made on the Denver group, near Gilbert, are said to be improving with every foot. From the formation it is ex pected that the main ledge will he cut very soon by the tunnel, which is now in nearly 500 feet. The water is getting more plentiful, but nothing will be done towards drain age until the main ledge is out. Work has also been started on the west end of the main ledge by Manager damage and ground is being graded preparatory to run ning a tunnel lengthwise along the vein up under Denver Peak, a dis tance of 9,000 feet, at which point the vertical depth will he nearly 1,500 feet, opening up what will probably be, from the surface in dications. one of the richest bodies of copper-gold ore in this section. A Needed Rest. Mr. and Mrs. A. 11. damage came in from the Denver Group camp last night and went down to Phoenix, where they will spend a few days taking in the sights of the capital city, after which they will return and Mrs. damage will re turn to her home in Los Angeles. This was Mrs. damage’s first visit here, although Mr. damage lias been working in this vicinity for the past nine years. Before leav ing camp a few of his old time friends were invited in to dinner and to spend the evening, among those present being Sam Franklin, W. L. Crane. J. H. Carlisle, Wm McAllister, Clark Perrin, Charles Small and Guy Sherwood. GILBERT GLEANINGS. A Summary of the Local Happenings in that Thriving Neighborhood. Larry Ryan and Dad Farrel have just returned from an extens ive prospecting trip in the Picacho and Humbug country and report considerable activity there in min ing, but could not find anything open to location that looked good to them. Mrs. Oscar .Jennings and sister passed through town Thursday on horseback. The new road from the Copper Bar mine at the head of Buckhorn gulch in Castle Creek mining dis trict is progressing finely. This is another road that Yavapai county has not helped to ( build, but Mari copa county has donated liberally. If we had to depend upon the Yav apai county commissioners to assist us in Blue Tank, Black Rock and Castle Creek districts in building roads to open up the best and rich est part of Yavapai county, they would never get opened up. It is time we should make some move to have a 20mile strip cut off from Yavapai county and annexed to Maricopa county from which we receive our help. Mrs. . Sarah Billings left here Monday for her home near St. Joe, Missouri. Mrs. damage lias returned to her home in Los Angeles, California. The big teams are passing through daily loaded with supplies for F. X. O’Brien’s and J. \Y. Burson’s camps. Tom Farrel is our new stage driv er and he knows how to handle the strings and whip. TRKBI.IG. Sunday Services. Following the Sunday School service at 2.80 on Sunday afternoon there will be a special meeting for the children, addressed by Rev- D. S. Gray upon a special topic. Let all the children who can, attend, they will be specially welcome. The meetings now holding, will close on Sunday evening, when Mr. Gray. ' will speak upon the life of Daniel. STOCK EXCHANGE A GOOD MOVE Prescott Will Probably Have a Mining Stock Exchange Fred B. Noxon Agitating the Movement. The movement started by Fred B. Noxon, representative of the Dailv Mining Record of Colorado Springs, and taken up by the bus iness and mining men of Paescott and Yavapai County, looking to wards the establishment at Prescott of a Mining Stock Exchange, is one which meets the approval and as sistance of every progressive man in central Arizona. The meeting held at Prescott Monday night was well attended and a number of com mittees were appointed to look fur ther into the matter. Another meeting will he held Monday even ing at Prescott and those in this section who are interested in the le gitimate development of our min ing interests should make it a point to attend and lend encouragement to the movement by their presence at least. The prime object of the Exchange is to provide a means of investment and speculation in- mining stocks and properties which are known to be worthy and where the buyer has a reasonable certainty of receiving good returns from his investment. A number of fake promoters and dealers in shady properties have already started with their work of knocking the move, knowing full well that their metods will not be countenanced by an organization of reliable business .and mining men, [THREE COMPARTMENT | SHAFT STARTED Work Started on the Main Working Shaft at the Oro Grande 1,000 Feet from Present Shaft---Force Being Increased as Fast as Is* M n#l a IVI ■ If I t » \AZ'i*»»Ae I aftr t* e J The Oro Grande has lot a cont ract to Nick Garcia to sink their big throe compartment working shaft north one thousand feet from the present workings and a force of men has been put to work sinking. Three shifts are being workrd op the new shaft, which, with the men employed by the company in the workings first started makes about fifty men employed at the mine. The shaft now being sunk will he the permanent working shaft and the mill will be erected between it and the workings further down the hill, where the company is doing most of its work. When sufficient depth is attained, a large double drum hoist will he installed on the working shaft. Before that time, however, it is probable that the gasoline hoist now on the 800 foot shaft will be moved to the three compartment working shaft and a larger one placed on the present workings. Later on, when the double drum hoist is installed, the small hoist will be moved from Lei and T. Gamble, who has been very sick for the past two weeks, is improvig slowly. Dr. Fleming returned from Phoe nix Wednesday, where he had been on business and pleasure. Mr. and Mrs.C.R. White returned from Florence Thursday morning, where they were called hv the ill ness of Mr. White’s mother. They left, her in very improving health. Ward McDonald returned from the Colorado river with Judge Boyd Saturday and went to Morristown on the freight that evening to examine Gilbert & Rowe’s new strike. but tbis was to be expected and is but another evidence of the need of an exchange which will investigate and list meritorious properties. If the property of any man or comp any is alright, they will court in vestigation and publicity. On tlit* other hand, those who are promot ing worthless companies only want the publicity which they themselves obtain through wild statements sent out through prospectuses and the press. The sooner this element can be driven out and replaced by men who mine on conservative lines like any other business, the quicker the country will advance. As it now is, if an eastern invest or wishes to purchase stock in ten different companies having proper ty in tbis section, be must write to ten different men in different parts of the country to purchase the same, and the only information lie ob tains is from the companies them selves, which is often wildly exag gerated. With a stock exchange at Prescott, investors could obtain stocks in fifty companies through one man, and with the certainty that bis information concerning each company was reliable. The establishment of a Mining Stock Exchange at Prescott means more for the mining int.r sts of Yavapai County and central Ari zona. than any other one step ever taken. Bv all means let us have it. place to place about the property for the purpose of prospecting. Streets tire being ..graded . tit the big gold camp and with the ad ditional merremployed and build ings soon to be erected, the camp is rapidly taking on an appearance of permanency. Mr. Wm. E. Defty. who has lately completed his ex amination of the property, advises the continuation of the north drift on the 100-foot level in the pres ent workings until the working shaft is reached; also considerable other prospecting and development work before reduction works are erected, as the body of ore being opened up is so extensive that no small plant could handle it. From this it will he seen that it is very probable that it will he several months before anything will be done towards erecting a mill. Mean time the development work will he pushed as rapidly as men and money can do it, and the force will he increased from time to time as fast as room can he made for the men. Clean and Cool. Col. Charley Case has had his ; front room enlarged and the entire {interior repainted and papered. 1 making it one of the cleanest and j j coolest places in town. Case has the utmost faith in the future of! Wickenburg and her mines and is j making preparations accordingly to make up for his several years of j waiting. From his mining and local interests he will undoubtedly reap a harvest which will he an ob ject lesson to some of those who have predicted in the past that! Wickenburg would never amount* 1 to much. i MINERAL APPLICATION NO. 550. Mineral Survey No. 1(529. I’nited States Land Office. / Prescott, Arizona.
