 TnE SrrRiING.--Mr. Chas. Borccr is work. ing quietly nt this iich mire. Mill md fur mace are now going and in short time we expect c. be able to chronicle facts in rela- ton Co this mine and the product of it's ore that will both please and sratify our readers. The last run paid well We saw, the other day, some beautiful gold bars from the Ster- ling which, we were told, were worth about $500. Our ores are now being tested by the chlorination process and should they turn out as well as intelligent miners expect them to- right here in the pine mountains of Ari- zona, in short time, will be the liveliest mining camps on the Pacific coast. We have the mines, the wood the water, the grass, the agricultural lands, and the climate, in fact verything that goes to build upa great and prosperous State. Hurrah for our altitude if it is high.
 THE PLATANcA.-We are indebted to Robt w Groom, one of our best miners and pros- pectors, for a splendid specimen of ore from the Platanca, silver ledge, situate close to the Sterling. With the specimen came the ] following note from Mr. Groom; ED MINER:- :-I send you by Mr. Worthei- mer, a specimen of ore from the vein in South ravine at water level We are going down on it slowly. The ore is improving and the water increasing. The vein is about three feet wide, running north and south and dip- ing tast, at aB angle of about 1G1 from the 1 horizontal We have struck the vein at five ! different points in a space of about four hun drpd feet, and at each point we have found good ore as soon as we reached the water lev el. believe the platanca will help 10 clean out the Apaches
