Mia,ng Prospects ID the chrrieahuas.

| | MT. Theo. F. White came In thls morn
 ing from his stock range in the ChirIca
 huas, and brings encouraging mining news from Sullivan District about twelve miles from Camp Rucker, and also from the Dos Cabezas. 4 party from St. Louis
 has Just returned rom an examination o
 mines in Sullivan District, whither they had been with Judge Henson Of Colorado and E. Martin smith of Arizona, and were so we'll pleased that they propose to pay sl2j,000 for certain claims. The bar gain is not absolutely closed but 1t Is their present purpose 10 close 1t within sixty days and they talk as if they were high ly pleased with the purchase. The ore is smeltir g and carries mostly silver. The intention is to put up capacious and per feet smeltings works, and do a practical business. The ore IS plentiful ana con- veniences for smelling are ample.
 Mir. White says the mines at Dos Cabe- gas, north of Bowie. are undoubtedly rich, and but for the fact that the owners hold them at such high prices, there would ere this have been one or two mills there. This being true. 1t is only a question of time when the mills go there.
 few days ago, THE CITIZEN nofed the receipt Of some ore by MT. Toole from a ledge recently found near Camp Grant and which is reported to be l9O feet wide. The ore sent in, is from the very top crop pings and assays trine over s2s per ton in silver. It carries copper but was not assayed therefore. The prospect. owing to it's locality, Is regarded good and a shaft will be sunk on the vein.
 $. s. ARNOLD. Superintendent Of the Longarena mine Of Arivaca District, re. gently left tor a visit 10 his friends in Iowa, where he will represent more fully the mining status of Arlyaca to those In- terested or desiring to invest. No doubt the LongaTena is vaIable mine. and 1t Is probable that Mir. Arnold will induce con- siderable capital Arizonsward to develop this and other properties.
