THE Wallapai Enterprise of Octo- Der 13, notes the fling of petition ID bankruptcy in San Francisco by the Milling company who brought a fine five stamp mill to Mineral Park, Moha- ve county, some eighteen months ago. To quote from the Enterprises
 After a years dallying the mill was completed and started on fine ore, and so far as treating the ore successfully was concerned proved a complete sue cess. Ore poured in on the mill, and if the mill could have worked twenty instead of five tons per day, it would have been crowded with ore, for there has been active competition among miners to get their ore worked. The mill has run about half the time since 1t started up, in March last, and has never waited a moment for ore. Every one supposed the company was mak- Ing money, and yet the company has filed it's petition in San Francisco to be declared a bankrupt. Now, we don't say the company has made money, nor do we say it has not made a losing. But We do say, what every man in the county, who is coglizant of the facts will bear us out in, that some one has made money, as facts must show The result of this bankruptcy business is that many of our citizens are unpaid their just dues from the company. Over $70,000 of silver has been taken out of our county, and the county re- ceives black eye from the islander, the report of the failure of the com pany circulates abroad. Of course those here who know the facts, know what is the matter, but people abroad will naturally attribute the failure to our mines.
 The mill now stands idle with 5000 worth of high grade ore on the dump at the mill, and our miners are again falling back on the old resort of ship pIng ore to San Francisco.
 We are sorry to read of this failure, for every such disaster or wrong leaves more or less impress on the whole Ter ritory. Still, Arizona cannot reasona- ply expect to be exempt from the evil element that has attached itself in sue cession to every mining locality on this coast. But as We are assured of the permanency and great extent of our mineral wealth, we may feel propOr- tionate certainty that nothing can prevent the ultimate development of that wealth.
