Min,nq Districts n the chiricahqas.

! Eweli Springs on the southern slope oi ! the Dos CabeZas mountains. The for
 nation is granite and syenire with DC casiunal outcrOps of shale. A large
 dyke or reef of quartz several hundred
 feet in width, extends for several miles
 with the trends of the mountains, and
 crops our high and bold above the surrounding rocks. Close To this great ! ledge, and generally running parallel
 with il, are the gOld-bearing quartz
 veins The outCrops on many of these | locations are of good width, rich in ] free gold, and generally carry some silver. Tale and talcase slate are gen. orally seen on one wall. These pay
 veins may be spurs or stringers ''
 from the great ledge, which is said to carry both gold and silver and may dip into the mother vein again as they go down. The surface indications are
 certainly very promising for permanent veins, and paying ore bodies, bat the development has attained so little depth that any present estimate of the value
 of these mines would be mere cOniec- ture. The silver mines in the same district are some six miles distant from
 Ewell Springs northwest of the gold
 mlies and are just being prospected.
 The veIns appear well but are rather
 narrow on the surface, though carrying some very high grade ores.
 The Chiricahua district is about six
 teen miles south of Bowie on the sum-
 init and western slope of the Chirica-
 hua mountains. The ores are prin- cipaily argentifcrous gaiena, with some carbonate, and occur in strong veins in metamOrphic limestone. The de- velOpment Is as yet too limited 10 pro nounce upon their value but the for nation and general appearance on the surface indicate large and perma- nent veIns, and should further explOr- alton show a far percentage of silver in these lead ores, those mines will be valuable property.
 Adjoining this district on the eastern side of the mountains is the California district. Many of the locations here show ores similar tO those last men, tioned but there is also a belt of veins !n cretaceOus limestone that carry a rich cOpper-silver ore with some gold. Assays from this class of ore show a value of $500 to $500 per ton and the Ou,crOp sometimes shows very wei running from one to three feet in width on varlOus locations. Owing however to the great expense of sinking in this hard limestone very little has been done tp prospect these claims, and their value remains Co be tested by develop ment.
 Some fifty miles south of Bowie and twelve miles west of Camp Supply on the north side of the Swisshelm noun tains are Inc SWisshclm mines The formation here is Limestone and the ores a:e princIpaily carbonate, rich in silver with some galena of fair grade. The prospect here is very promising The ore IS in veins or deposits of great size and for the amount of work done the quality of good ore produced isl astonishing. With an abundance of. carbonate that assays 5000 and over per ton it is safe to say that the for tunate owners of these mInes have struck big bonanza.
 Throughout all these districts the facilities for cheap reduction are eX- cellent, wood and water is abundant and near at hand, and but small outlay will be required in making roads. Prospecting has hardly begun in this section of Arizona, and nothing like permanent development has ever Eeen but 1t Is quite safe tO predict. that when sufficient capital becomes here, and legitimite mining are inaugurated, thIs section will produce a Ia ge amount of bull lion, and the favorlte hunting-groundSI and strOngholds of Cachise will bel the homes of thousands Of miners.-, C.

 SOME time since one of the brightest and wittiest of Cincinnati girls went abroad, and when she returned home about the first person tO congratulate her upon her safe return was B., al young blood of the city whose dollars exceeded his sense in the ratio of about l million to one.
 An, Miss N he said, permit me to greet you. l know you have had a very pleasant trip abroad"
 Yes" she answered, "very pleasant indeed. 1 was all over the Continent md through England. Scotland and . ireland"
 An, Tn Ireland. and did you see he Blarney stonegn
 " Yes, l was therer
 " Oh, I should so delight to see it. It has always been a desire of mine 10 KISS that famous stone, bu. l never had he opportunity"
 Indeed then you should go there.
 " l know, but 1 have not done so, put why shouldn't l kiss it by proxy ? lou have been there and kissed It; 1 lesire to take the influence of the 3larney stone from your Ips;" and he smart Aleck stepped forward in proximity Co the young lady, but she irew back and looking hIm squarely n the face, sad | beg your pardon, ny dear Mr B.: but 1 sat on the }larney stone" Like a man with a Ireat sorrow, B, sank down in a ieap, and he hasn't said " Ireland :" ince, and the very word blarney" , makes him dellrious-St. Louis Re publican.
