 Work is being pushed ID every direc- ton with results entirely satisfactory.
 The San Carlos Mill and Mining Com

 mining property near Ramboz camp
 they are going to sink prospecting
 shaft to a depth of one hundred feet and eros cut the vein, and if the pros
 poets warrant 1t they will then erect a
 five or ten-stamp mill at or near the mine. The vein on the surface is about ten feet wide and assays from 9 to 400 ounces in silver and little gold. This claim is known as the St
 Patrick, and is located on the great
 madre vita, or madre vein of this sec ton on which is located some of the most famous mines of Globe District, namely, the Stonewall Jackson Me Millen, Lee, Mammoth, Imperial, ChrOmO, Sherman, on the northeast end of the vein, and on the southwest end are located the Silver Queen, Sil. yer Veil, Irene, and include many others the names of which I am un- able to recall at present. This i'm mense mineral bearing vein crops out boldly in many places with an aver age width of twenty feet for a distance of fifteen miles and is located nearly the entire length, and many of the claims are proving to be wonderful in both extent and richness of the ore that is daily being exposed to view, and ere long l hope to be able to in form THE CITIZEN and its intelligent readers of a rich strike in the St. Patrick, which looks now at d depth of twenty-five feet very fiattering.
 And now in conclusion I will enter one more earnest prnJest against the two sections of the proposed new min ing law; first, the one requiring the deposit of $50 with the government as A bonus for office fees and as pre- l liminary step to acquire title; sec Ond, the one requiring $500 worth of work 10 be done in one year from the date of location of the claim. These sections to which I call attention are objectionable for the prime reason that should they become law it would oppre-s and utterly ruin the poor weather-bcaten miners and pio leers of the great wet, and if there a is ;lass on earth that deserves favorsI rom this great and prosperous nation Iy wise and liberal legislation, it isi' hese brave anu daring sons of toll , md hardship, the pioneers and pros )ectoTs. To this class too we owe Ouri liberty and independence, and indeed Q these elements we are indebted for, .ll that We possess as mighty nation md prosperous people, and hence if here IS a class of people on earth that 2 Ieserve the undevided praise of man Is the brave and daring pioneers, ] hose who carry the banners of their ountry, to uncivilized and undevelop- d regions, and in this protest I speak I lot only for my self, but echo the sen iments of many others whom I have Ieard express themselves in like man. Ter, as to the injustice and hardshipsI hat it would cast Ton the poor pros ector, and would certainly impede he proSpering and development of the | rountry, for there is not one pros ector out of fifty who could comply 'ith the proposed law Hence we hope I hat 1t will not pass Congress and be ome a law, PIONEER.
