THE .LoRENo MINE BOMBED.

This valuable mine which was discovered by L. $. Jenks, twelve years ago, and To- cated in the Bradshaw Mountain two miles and half from the Tiger, has been bonded by Messrs. Bowen, Knowles & O., from the present owners,:.wh have heretofore re- fused to make any disposal of tho same, sz they regarded it, and with just cause, the best mining property in Yavapai County Since, however, Mcssrs. Bowen& Co, have put in the Bradshaw Basin, fine quartz mill for the reduction of ores, the owners of the Lereno, with q view of assisting these gentlemen in their inning. milling and other enterprises, and desiring to see this very excellent mine developed, as they find 1t beyond their power to handle it at the present time, very magnanimcusly came to the front snd executed bond for 90 days
 We are somewhat familiar with the To. reno property and believe it to te not cnly ane of the largest lodges in Yavapai county but one containing much merit, from the fact that it carries large veins of high grade ore.
 Messrs Bowen & Co., have concluded tc take this property to the New York market and there place it before capitalists, on its merits, for sale. Their only object in taking tisfs step is to procure means wiih winch tc open the ledge and to enable them to star up their mill, and make other improve ments in the way of opening roads, etc A legitimate mining enterprise such as that being carried forward by these gentlemen cannot fail to elicit aid from capitalists m the East, who are always willing to put their money out m any paying business The Loreno mine carries l3 feet of ledge matter of which 30 inches yields ore that pay from s2O0 to $l. 900 to the ton, while theentir lode is mineral bearing. IL is the opinion of scientists and practical mining gentle men that the Loreno, at q depth of300 feet will be a solid, well defined mine, equallins the famous Comstock.
 We certainly congratulate the Messrs Bowen & O., in their lucky deal, and hop' they may place it advantageously in New York City or some other Eastern town Such property as the Loreno should long since have been made to pay large dividend. and have become a source of revenue tC osr Territory.

Something New.

In Colorado, experiments of very sasis' factory kind have been made in the cultiva' tlon of a species of wheat or rice, from which most nutritious and excellent fouI is manufactured The seed came from Egypt, was planted in dry soil, where Il germinated and produced sbundaptly. The seed was saved and again this year planted on a plateau in earth, which did not con tain, apparently, particle of moisture, still it came up and yielded GO bushels to the acre. It strikes us that this would be a very excellent article for the farmers of Arizona, inasmuch. as it can be successfully cultivated on the most arid plains without any ram or moisture. If seed can be ob- taned, it would be we'll to experiment on the plains bordering the Salt and Gila riv- CTS. Itis worth trying. Again, ss it comes up, the stem or stalk grows to the size of 8 mans arm, the seed forming on bushy tas sel that profnsely penstrates from the apex, making it easy to be harvested and leaving the stem to be utilized for fuel.

"oeaersi Hancock For President"

Congressman Chalmers of Mississippi, re. gently made political speech at Corinth in that state in which he stated that he adToca, ted the nomination of ''some gallant soldier who loved the Union and sealed hIs faith with his blood" It transpires that the man in the minds eye" of this friend of the eUnion," Ar. Chalmers CD, is General Han cock.
 If General Hancock Is nominated by the party which came to the rescue of the "Union" when MT. Chalmers and his Miss issippi friends were thrusting at its heart, he will be elected, otherwise, no:. It is a ruse the Amencan people cannot os de eeived with. If We mistake not, General Ewing "loved the Union' too, but when bs became in Ohio, the standard bearer of the party which hated the "Union," he suffered the defeat which he deserved, and winch is in store for any other ''gsllsnt soldier iD a hke situation.

was only equaled by the astonishment
Of the senate itself. The next stroke
hurled him into the camp. 1t is not
very strange that a Confederate Dem

miracles as the predestined agencies
for his government. And so it hap.
pens that Key is not for Sherman, but
for Key.
