 About a mile t6 the east of tas Ramboz nine, and 5o0 yards dowr the rayine from the camp of that name, is the CenteniSi mine, owne3 by Dr. Wilson and J..Gibbons, who are HOW at work on the.A. E, incliHe. The mine has been thOEoughly pros pected by four sha fts, fA0m 7 to 6tl feet deep, with drift and4anDeIs run on the ledge. In alt the openings the lode is well defined is synite easihg-the pay streak being from six inches to three feet widsg It has yielded ore ranging from A200 to 35, ,000 per ton, of which these is ,. considerable quantity en the dumps. Where they are at work now { (fi0Efeet down the lodo shows broader Ran at any other point, and the ore
 average S400 per ton. From | look of the developments on thiS claim, l think ths owners age well warranted in their belief that they have a rich and profitable mine.
 Southeast from the Centennial nine are a number of claims, some of them being on very large and promising lodges. The ores, in eases where they show on the surface or in prospect holes, are of a good quality, and future developments vill without doubt prove that here exsE valuable bodiss of high grade ore, and the formation being synite would indicate that the lodges are likely to prove genuine Assure veins.
 Southwest from this section about a mile we come again on the Miami Mill road, which following over the saddle, past the spring at the bottom, we see on the N. W. slope of the hill very large ledge, the croppings of which stand up m some places 30 feet high, and from 30 to 100 feet wide. The claims upon 1t are the Mogul. Irene, Silver Veil, Silver Queen and King. On the Irenes belonging to J. W. Haskin, there is a shaft 8 feet deep on the west side of the ledge, and shows a good grade of carbonate ore. The Silver Queen has been recently incorporated by Mr. C. L. Crane, the owner, with S1 ,000, : 1000 capital stock, and he is now in Globe engaged in the development of the mine. Where the ledge shows most promising be Las in a shaftsome 50 feet, with favorable indications for nnding an ore body as depth is obtained. Below the Irene there is another prominent ledge which crosses the big one on the northwest end of the Silver Queen ground. In an opening recently made upon 1t there is good ledge of ore in sight, which assays from S20 to $30.
 On the ridge to tbe west eff the Silver Queen there are 8 number oi ledges, which skow well on the sur face. They are covered by three claims-the Frank and the Frankfori having the majority of them. Or the Frank is large ledge, which shows good galena ore ; and ca the Frankfort there is 8 IT. foot shaft on a ledge which yields good carbonat. ore, assaying from $50 to $150 per ton.
 Following this Frankfort ledge to ] the N E., on the Granite State claim the out-crop is very prominent. and on the ridge which 1t intersects there iare three other lodges, which have been partially prospected by shaft. { from 10 to 15 feet deep l; but the or seems low grade. To the westward of this few hundred yards IS tn, DespreciadO mine, owned by AIr AlIer and partners. Their ledge has a bole out crop, with a shaft d5wR on 1t ,. feet. All the way in is ore of vaTyl ing quality, and frsm the appearanc, of Ehe iump 1t looks to se good mill. ing ore. Northeast from the shaft ! prospecting cut has been run on th. ledge, which shows some very gcot lore-assaya ranging from $l 900 t ,0o0 per ton.
