AT BLACK ROCK. [ Machinery Will Soon Be In Installeb - stalleb Installeb on the BlacK Roch Mining Co's. Property. i . HAVE VERY RICH ORE. | I From time to time, brief men mention - tion mention of the work done on the pro property - perty property of the Black Rock Mining Company has been made in these ] columns. The group of six and lone-half claims lie in the famous : Black Rock distret. eleven miles ; north east from Wickenburg. The | property is well-known in this section for its rich ore and the for for; - ; for; mcr owners arrnstred out many ] dollars from the rich surface ores, ! particularly on the Olympia, Gold Bug and Brooklyn. The company which is working ! these claims was organized under i the laws of South Dakota, with a j capital of seven hundred thousand ! shares, par value SI.OO each. Mr. A. D. Bellinger, the president of the | company, was until recently the ] superintendent of the Great North North:en - :en North:en elavator at West Superior, j Wisconsin, a position which he had held for a number of year and only resigned in order to devote his en en; - ; en; tire time and attention to the affairs j of the company, which is assurance ! that the work will be pushed with j vigor. Mr. Bellinger is a mqch mqchi - i mqchi anical and mining engineer of long ] and successful experience, and not | only understands mining, but has! ] the ability to design special mach- ! finery adapted to this particularj j property. For the past few months ] lie has been busy planning and j designing special machinery, which ; is now being made by theStrotham ' Iron Works of West Superior, Wis. : All the machinery has been ordered and will be shipped and installed jas soon as it comes from the foun foun! - ! foun! dry. The hoisting rigs and skips : wore especially designed to work to i a depth of 3,600 feet, at the angle ! which the vein on the Olympia dips. Considerable development work j has already been done upon the ] property, the company having done Ino small amount of work during j the past year. The gold values ] occur free in the quartz veins, the i largest of which crops the length of two and one-half claims, a distance of nearly 3,500 feet. It is from 18 to 24 inches wide at the surface and widens to about five feet at a depth of nearly two hundred feet. The values are high everywhere on the ; claims, assays running from fifty to six hundred dollars a ton and picked speciemns even higher. This is certainh' promising and the mine will no doubt be one of the ] best producers in the district when j reduction works are installed. | Several hundred feet of work has j already been doneunddevelopment j i will proceed as rapidly as consis consis] - ] consis] tent, under the able management j of J. K. Murphy, the former owner land one of Wickenburg's best ] rustlers. ! If the editor makes a mistake ]he has to appoligize for it, hut if ! the doctor makes one he buries it. If we make one there is lawsuit, swearing and a smell of sulphur, hut if the doctor makes one there is ] a funeral, cut flowers and a smell ] of varnish. The doctors can use a ] ] word a yard long without know know! - ! know! ing what it means but if the editor ] uses it he lias to spell it. If the I doctor goes to see another man's I wife, he charges for the visit, but if | the editor goes to see another man's j j wife, lie gets a charge of buckshot. ] Any medical college can make a j doctor. You can't make an editor. ] He has to be born. When a doctor ! gets drunk its a case of "overcome ! by heat," and if he dies, it is heart j trouble. When an editor gets j ] drunk, it's a case of too much booze, ] I and if he dies it's a case of delirium ; ; tremens - Ex.

INVESTIGATE FIRST. * i Losses Generally Due to RanK Carelessness. ; j . ihe astuteness of humanity is 1 ; well illustrated 1»\ a case which ; ! j . flame under our notice not long I since. An eastern man had saved; I-,, . ' i j up quite a sum ot money, and. hav- j ; ing reached an age where he wished j |to retire from active business,! decided that mining offered the best field for him to invest in. He accordingly put the greater part of his fortune, quite a few thousand ; I dollars, into stock in a company! ! which lie knew very little of and j even less of the property. Not re-; ] ceiving any dividend during the i " j first two or three months, he came ! i out to Arizona to see "what was the : | matter". While here we approach-1 |ed this judicious investor and j ] suggested to him that he subscribe j for the News-Herald and keep j ; posted concerning what was being] ] done in these parts. After lie had j polished his spectacles and looked I us over to his satisfaction, avo were 1 l told to send him a sample copy at: | his home address and he "would j ! consider tho matter". Jf this man j ! had used the same discretion in in in! - ! in! | vesting his thousands that he did in regard to a $2 investment where ! he might have learned something,; I he would today have more dollars | < j and more sense. Once more we j wish to impress upon investors the j j advisability of investigating before i jinvesting. In justice to yourself; ; and in fairness to the district you j -; Should investigate first, especially j ! if you intend investing anv amount! i . * ° i ol mOney. j PIONEER PASSES AWAY. W. T. Hutchinson Dies After a j Lingering Illness. After several months of intense! i suffering, W. T. Hutchinson passed ] j away Monday evening at his home i !in the southern part of town. The | deceased was 71 years old and had ! been confined to his home for ] ! ... I several months with a complication ] |of diseases, affecting his liver and i other internal organs. Several] ] months ago he went to Los Angeles j for relief, but specialists there! i could do nothing on account of his ] age and advanced stage of disease. Mr. Hutchinson leaves a wife and five children; Mrs. J. K. Murphy of Wickenburg, Mrs. C. 1). Bell, Mrs. C. 11. Tweed and Miss M. P. | Hutchinson of Phoenix and Mrs. j .Joseph Hammer of El Paso. All j were hero except Mrs. Bell and! Mrs. Hammer. The funeral was i held Wednesday morning and was i attended by a large number of rel rel| - | rel| atives and friends, the deceased! ! having been a resident of Arizona! i for over 20 years. Until his sick- ] I ness, Mr. Hutchinson was actively] engaged in mining here, and while j a quiet and unassuming man, leaves ] a host of friends all over the ter- j ritory who mourn with the bereaved | family. Wickenburg has lost one j of her best citizens. Messrs. Seheekels and Harrington] j of Prescott this week sold the ta.il ta.il] - ] ta.il] ings at the Crowned King mine to New York parties, who will at once ] proceed to erect a suitable plant for working the same. There are ' about 40,000 tons of the tailings] 1 land the price leccived was be-j : tween $75,000 and $90,000. They j 1 i are rich, but it will take expensive ] ; machinery to work them. L. C. Nickerson of Phoenix is in j Colorado on business connected j with the Eleetra mine, between Wade's and Gilbert. A gasoline * hoist will soon be placed upon this property and sinking started again. 1 The shaft is now down over 200 feet, all in ore as well as consider considerable - able considerable drifting and a 60-foot 'shaft. ] i The Eleetra is one of the best pro- j: | perties in that section. ,

WILL GO DOWN. -I Exploration Company Let a 100-Foot Contract. Fliarles H. Akers, president of the O. G. Exploration A Devel Development - opment Development Uompany spent Tuesday here, examining their Blue Tank property. While here lie let An* j derson and Hall a contract to sink the 30-foot shaft on the Grand ;i \ iew claim 100 feet deeper. If * present indications continue a . ! gasoline hoist will then be installed, i As depth is attained, drifts will 11 he run along this ledge and 1 j cross cuts run to cut the five other 1 ] parallel ledge which lie on both sides of this ledge, all within a dis distance - tance distance of about four hundred feet. , The ore showings on all ledges are not to he surpassed and of a number ]of assays made on samples from : the different ledges, the lowest sl2 and the highest $169 a ton. The ; Grand View Group is one of the .'[best in this section and with dev devjelopment - jelopment devjelopment should make a big div div! - ! div! idend-pa ver. S * THE ORO GRANDE. I I Only Awaits the Early Install Installation - ation Installation of Machinery. The News-Herald is informed that the large hoist for the Oro Grande has been shipped and may be expected here within a week or , ten days. General Manager Upton, in a letter from New York, states i that he will return very soon and | start active operations at the big ! mine. This will he good news, not ! only to the miners and mining men in this section, but to business | men hen 1 in town, for the working ]of the Oro Grande adds no small j amount to the local tratle. With over four thousand feet of work done and an ore showing not Ito he surpassed in central Arizona, | the Oro Grande is in a position [ where the erection of reduction ! works is about all that is necessary to make it a big dividend-payer. While there are places in the mine where the ore values run up into the thousands, it is thought, after conservative sampling, that the general average of the ore milled will be in the neighborhood of sls. The ore can he mined very cheaply, on account of the extraordinary size of the ore body, it ranging from 140 to over 170 feet in width, in the various cross cuts which have been run on the different levels. The early working of the Oro Grande means much for the Wickenburg section, not alone on account of the number of men 'which will he employed, hut be because - cause because of the advertisement it will be and the subsequent Avorking of many other nearby properties, j A Good Section. Professor W. P. Blake, of the Territorial University at Tucson, was in the city recently while re returning - turning returning from the north, where lie visited the Big Bug mining district. Prof. Blake had not been in that section for a number of years, although he was at one time quite familiar with that part of the country, having been interested in its development, hut the Yal Yerdo I smelter, running night and day and handling tons of ore, the great Iron King mining camp, the Poland [ tunnel, the new railroad, forcing its way into the very heart of the rich Bradshaws, the thousands of men working in every direction, all | greatly impressed the professor, ! who takes such a hearty interest in the welfare of mining in Arizona ] that he expressed himself in the i highest terms of praise for Yava Yavapai - pai Yavapai county in general, and the Big ; Bug count y in particular. - Arizona Democrat. O. K. Nelson was in town Sun Sunday - day Sunday after supplies.
