The SantO Domingo Mines.

These mines are situated in portion of Yuma county rarely visited by miners or prospectors. They lie Tn the extreme southeastern part of the county, about 75 miles south of the Glla and close to the Mexican boundary. The Mexicans have lately worked some of them successfully, but as they are on American ground, these miners could obtain no title and took little interest in developing the lodges. Cipriano Ortega, owner of nearly all the good land and cattle around Sonoita, claims to have taken out, from one of these mires, nearly S14000 at an expenditure for mining of less than s10O. s. Purdy, Jr., and Arlando Smith returned from down there last week, bringing couple of hundred pounds of rich specimens-masses of green and vel

For while that portion of the army stationed near Yuma, to guard the frontier, was much like catfish-more head than body. AS officers we had here, at one time, Major Dunn, Lieut.. King, Lieut.. Earnest and a quartermaster's sergeant, at the Fort; Capt. Lord, two clerks and a signal service sergeant at the Depot, and Major Nelson, paymaster, clerk and messenger here in town. The garrison has varied in number from twelve privates to one. A few days ago the garrison was drilled in target practice; he made some very good shots

low chlorides. They had been down there making some new locations and doing as-
 sessment work for themselves and on some claims of L. A. Smith. There is
 plenty of grass and fuel close to the mines,
 and there are several running springs
 within three miles of them. There is a
 fair natural wagon road down there, leav-
 ing the Gila about mile and half from
 Rattlesnake Hill. The next water is at
 Las Playas, about fifty miles; thence twen-
 ty-five miles to Quitobaquita, where there
 are fine running springs and several ran-
 cherias; thence it is ten to fifteen miles to
 the Santo Domingo mines. The boundary
 line runs through QuitObaquita, leaving
 the spring on our side, but giving most of
 the good land to Mexico; it also puts the
 ranches and towns of Santo Domingo and
 Son oita in Mexico, but gives us the mines.
 The late Frank P. Clymer had valuable
 claims down there and shipped considera-
 ble rich ore, in spite of all the difficulties
 of desert transportation over new and ur-
 beaten roads. He was very enthusiastic
 over the results, but he got atrald of his
 Mexican neighbors and his attention was
 absorbed, until his death, by his discovery
 of the Athens and other rich mines in
 Pinal county. The town of Sonoita is
 within few miles of the mines; it has always borne hard name as a rendezvous for smugglers and fugitives from justice. This has done much to keep away Ameri- can prospectors and miners. One trail from Yuma passes west of the Gila range, crossing it at the Tinajas Atlas, signifylng high tanks. These are natural cisterns among the rocks and, after heavy rains, hold water for many months. There are eight of these tanks, one above the other The highest two are very hard to reach, as the granite rocks are very smooth and slippery. They are distant from here about forty-five miles. From there it is about sixteen miles to the Tinajas del Tule, in the mountains of that name. The water here is in gulch, walled in by huge masses of granite rocks, which present peculiar appearance, as they lie in smooth whitish Jumps huddled together in every possible way. Some thirty miles further the trail intersects the wagon road on flat at Las Playas. After passing the southeast point of the Salado mountain the trail passes on to Quitobaquita up a valley in which fair water can be got at many points by digging. Prospectors will find plenty of water in the vicinity of So- noita and Santo Domingo Monument No TX, of the boundary, stands on the ridge, about one and half miles north of the former village, so that all mines found | north of that are safe to locate. From | there the line runs westward few feet | south of the springs at Quitobaquita, north | of Agua Dulce and Agua Salada, and south | of Tinajas del Tllle and Tinajas Atlas. All that country has been examined for gold, but its silver lodges are nearly all new 1 discoveries and it seems reasonable to be- ieve that there are plenty more left. L. 4. Smith & Bro. have shipped several diff 'erent lots of Santo Domingo ore and seem confident of good returns.

A Lost Mine.

In 1862 Bally Cavanaugh made an extend ed prospecting trip in the Castle Dome, Eagle Tail and other mountains of Yuma county. He was after gold and paid no at tention to lead or copper; of silver he knew nothing. He got no good gold prospects, but he found an immense ledge, showing great croppings of an ore he had never be- fore seen. He pulvcriZed specimens and washed them out, but getting no colors of gold, he gave no more thought to the ledge Some time atterward he was at Pinos Altos, New Mexico, and there saw ore worked for silver winch was enor- mously rich and exactly like the rock of the big ledge he had found in Yuma coun- ty He came back here intending to locate it, but arrived in wretched health and hay ing lost his voice. He kept the saloon now owned by Mir. Hughes and vainly waited to get strong enough to go into the mountains. He only lived few years, getting weaker all the time; but to the last his mind was fixed on locating the big silver ledge he had found, years before, in Yuma county.

A much needed improvement is being made by the railroad company in the shape of another warehouse and freight platform at the foot of Main Street, and on the town side of the two tracks This will enable wagons to be driven alongside the platform, to be loaded from It. Steam boat freight can then be discharged from one track to the lower warehouse, and freight for the Gila road can be discharged from the other track into the new shed. Last Monday, besides the barge load at the bank of the river, all the sheds and corral were crowded with freight, and there were 30 car loads more standing around on the tracks, waiting chance to be discharged. The new building is being rapidly bnilt.

The Arkansaw mine has been sold by Lige Bettis to Bagley, McPherson & Pick ems, of San Francisco. This firm has lately been picking up several good properties in this county, at great bargains. No lead has been taken out of the Arkansaw below 100 feet, except what was hoisted in sink ing two shafts about eighty feet below that point. All the lead that has been shipped from this mine has been extracted from near the surface, and from a mere fraction of the claim. The metal is con- tinuous in the shafts, and widest near the bottom. The last eighty feet have disclos- ed more lead than was shown by the first hundred. The new owners have secured g valuable property. MT. Williams was here this week and reports very well of the mines he is working, as well as all the oth CTS ill the district Talk is cheap, and 1t has become custom to lavish a good deal of it on mining prospects. But one fact is significant, which is this: when any miner now at Castle Dome draws an order on our Yuma merchants, that order is paid on presentation. The miners of that dis trict have no very big assays to brag of, but they weigh their products by the ton and not by the ounce. Silver is well enough, but it takes 10 Act of Congress to make a market for Castle Dome lead.

Great quantities of doors and window sash, coming here for points in the interior give an idea of the number of new build ings being erected in the south and east ern part of Arizona. Yavapai county makes all those things at home from her grand pine forests; Prescott boasts of as complete blaming mills and sash factories as are found anywhere. For this reason it is not so easy here to realize the extent to which building is carried on in that county.

The steamer Mohave is still down the river, where she went to bring up barge that was being repaired at Port Ysabel. One thing, that makes navigation of the lower river slow, is the lack of cord wood. The Indians no longer cut it, and when an occasional boat goes down that way, her crew has to cut her fuel, as needed.
