Mining Matters.

| ifornia mining investors and capital ists with regard to Southern and Cen
 tral Arizona Within a few days
 past syndicate has been formed, of
 which the Janins, mining engineers
 and MT. Gibson, of San Francisco,
 for the purpose of handling nine val
 uable prospects situated in the liar
 shaw DiStrict,-just south of the fam
 Ous Tombstone and close 10 the Sono-
 ra line. Dan Harshaw, the locator,
 was paid $5O,0O0 for these claims
 An immense body Of argentiferous
 ore, running from $133 to $139, is
 claimed. In the Tombstone District
 there is quite furore, owing to tho , pounding away 90 regularly of the ? Tombstone mill, with its stated pro-
 duct of 5000 per diem. The Cor
 bin mill, of 15 stamps, will soon be
 ready, and the Western Mil Con-
 pany expect to have their stamps in
 motion within three months. A mill
 is to be erected in the Harshaw by
 the syndicate referred to. Mir Cor
 bin of the Tombstone District, has, it
 is claimed, developed a wonderful
 bonanza in the Patagonia Mountains. Parties from Philadelphia have been
 urgent to buy of him. He refused to sell. They told him, then, that one

 GOO, ,00O. They wanted to purchase
 half at that figure and then stock it
 for the Eastern market. This, too,
 was refused. Other parts of Arizona
 are also showing up well. Major
 Baldwin, one of the most competent
 mining engineers in the Territory,
 who is now here, is enthusiastic over
 the prospects. He asserts that Ari- zona ores are the richest of any yet explored mineral region and will pay, ton for ton, better for handling The Globe District in which he is oper
 ating feels the good effect of recent activity. The NJ xiean pans out ex- cellently, the Silver Nnggetis is a good and profitable mining prospect, and the Mack Morris for which capital is now being raised here, is report ed | by such competent experts as Major Sisson, in charge of the Isabella Cos interest. to be lode of great value with ore of high grade, and to all ap- pearances on true Assure vein like ly to prove practically incxhaustible- In the Pioneer district, we learn there is renewed activity. The fa- nous Silver King, whose New York office is at 52 Broadway, continues to ship it's 10000 pounds of concentra- tions every two weeks or so with mo- notonous regularity, A correspond ent suggests we may say in passing, that we do not seem to like this mine Quite the contrary is the fact. We regard the Silver King as one of the most wonderful of rlines-a veritable bonanza in fact. Our dislike has been toward the management, which Is in character, as far as we have seen, reticent and selfish in character, and this, as VIC have feared, for the benefit of the administrators of this property, We shall be glad to learn that we are mista ken in these and will be found quick 10 undo any injustice our statement 0f them may create. In the Pioneer district there has been some quiet but costly investing of late. A valuable piece Of property known as the Sur prise mine is owned by a MT. Hast nss, a wealthy merchant, who first Tisited Arizona for his health's sake \ thorough working of the mine has 'een begun, and milling and reduc- ion works of the most complete char Icter. This property is now being in ' but its stock will not be ,ut before the general public, being II taken by wealthy investors, less : han a score in number Mir Hast nge will spend his winters at the nine. Reports from the Tiger mine I rS very encouraging, the company :. as first-class ten stamp mill in sue essful operation. The first 20 days ielded S4O,000, and it IS expected it Till turn out s75,0OO per month and ay dividends. The company have 4 ood hoisting works sufficient to sink 500 feet deep and about 2,000 tons f ore on the dump, that is yielding 175 per ton. There is also a large mount of high grade ore in sight. '.
