 for that purpose and win at once intro
 duce the dry washing process on
 large scale. Dr. C M. Seeley, of Sa,
 Francisco, whose name is mentionef
 elsewhere in this issue, is largely in
 teresied Tn this company and inform,
 us that during his recent visit to Ari
 zona he secured by location and leasC
 about lOOO acres of placer ground
 Three hundred acres of this land ar,
 located at Gila City and six machine,
 are now building for that locality. On
 Dis way down Dr. Seeley worked some
 dirt with hand machine atGila City
 which yielded from $5 to $1l 50 pel
 ton. Some of the dirt sent to San
 francisco yielded $l3.65 per ton. The
 SIX machines to be sent are only to make fair lest of the pay dirt and
 will be run by a one horse power. It successful the number of machines
 will be largely increased The ma. chine to be used is- the Stephens patent all iron, light and portable,

 oN Wednesday Ms. c. l.. Lynde ar rived from the PapagO country bring. ing with him about 1900 pounds of ore rom the Fremont and Jesse mines.
 ] he ore has a copper stain and is very rich m chlorides and sulphurets. It was Mr. Lynde's intention 10 have this worked at Warmers mill, but owing 10 me unfortunate reputation of that mill MT. l.. has concluded to send up an. other batch from the mines and then ship It all to San Francisco for reduc ton. These mines are about 67 miles southwest from Tucson, and have only recently attracted public attention. The lodges are well defined. the ore high grade and in good quantities. We have always had good opinion Of this district and expect to see the same more than verified. Nt.ssrs Pierce & Wood have some interests here, and the mines recently bonded to eastern parties by Messrs. Stout, Ro- man and Miller are located in this dis trict.
 AMONG the passengers. leaving for San Francisco by coach "Wednesday was Dr. C. NJ. Seeley, President of the Arizona and New Mexico Mining and Prospecting Company. Dr. Seeley has spent about two weeks in Arizona looking over the mining districts and placer fields in which his company propose to operate. He spent several days in the Orc Blanco District, with which he expresses himself greatly pleased. Through the instrumental fly of Dr. A. H. Noon the company have secured several promising loca tions in that district and wills con- mence vigorous prospecting at once. This company has been organized since last October and is composed of men with money and energy.
 MR. JAMES PETERS is in town: from the BoSqui ranch, on the upper Sants Cruz. We learn frolh him that con. travel is now passing over he road 10 and from Sonora. Times ire generally quiet, but spring will doubtless bring new life in the mining interests. Mr. Peters fears the crops will be very light unless we have con siderable rain soon. This would be unfortunate indeed, as that section de bends largely on Its grain harvest for annual profits.
