MARK ONE FOR ARIZONA.

, By reference to the stock quotations in she San Francisco and other Pacific coast papers i; will be seen that the Silver King stock stands at the head of the list. This speaks well for Arizona, still 1t Is compara- lively small to what It will be in year or decade hence. .whenwill have been uncoyeredto the world one If the grandest mineral vaults Vet discovered Arizona can hardly be counted upon as having developed any of her great treasure deposits. Mining here IS still m it's infancy Enough IS known, ho~- ever. .;o the geologist and mlneralogist, place this Territory as the heart of the great min eral belt of ,he continent, and that these mines, surrounding us upon every cardinal point are mere feeders from the mother yeIns, embodied deep and trm within the giant em- brace of the huge mountains that raise their snow -plumed peaks far uP into the heavens. The King Is only one If the ten thOusandmines that must soon attract the attention of the whole world. When development shall have revealed ledyes wide and rich, two and three thousand feet down among the very roots of our Sierras, then. and not till then. can the great wealth of Arizona mines be realIzed-
 Our mineral wealth Is by no means con- fined to silver. but embraces nearly all the varieties known to the schools. At no dts tAnt period the mountains, hills and valleys will be dotted with furnaces, mills and every conceivable variety of reduction works for the separation of the precious ores. When this time comes, and II Is nigh at hand, then ~e will scr the King and other mines listed .f their r,Al north

MINES AND PROSPECTING.

The good work 0f prospecting contln ues and we hear of many rich discoveries being made in every direction The gold mine of Henry Wickenburg, Oil Rastra Greek, Black Canyon District, four miles south of Rumble bee, bids fair to become a very valuable property. The developments are meagre as yet, however the ledge has continued to i'm prove with every stroke of the hammer as the workmen go down A ton and half of common ore recently worked by rastra yielded Sl.0. This IS not, by any means, a fair average of the rock, as the test was made upon what was picked to be the poor est ledge matter. Taking, then, into con siderati pn, the great width of the ledge, this property at once takes the rank with our best mining properties
 Gillespie, the owner of several mines Tn the immediate vicinity of Mir. Wickenberg's s bonanza, has made a clean sale of his inter ests, realizing handsome fortune.
 The Right Bower," discovered by Mir. HoImes, on Squaw Creek, eight miles from Swilling's old ranch, Is the latest discovery, and one that has created much excitement, from the extraordinary indications on the surface. The ledge is all the way from to 10 feet wide, the float rock assays from SlOO to s3. .OOO per ton. In the immediate vi- cinity of this find there is an abundance of pure running water the year round; wood. however. is little scarce. Developments on this claim are to be prosecuted immedi- .tely. Mir. Holmes has also found what he calls tie George Washington" a property he thinks well of; and near this property Willie Cook has discovered the 'Pocahontas, ' carrying gold and silver. These ledges, To- cated in the famous Black Canyon District, bid fair to become of great value.
 The mine at Tptop IS yielding good ore, the bullion product being about s5O, ,OOc per month.
 In Peoples Valley two quartz mills are steadily pounding away, and the bullion Is coming out :n quantities satisfactory.
 The Silver Belt has just turned out ore, the result of a twenty days run, in a one horse furnace. somewhere near s2O,OOO.
 The Bradshaw Basin mill is working like clock work on Prince and Warrior ore. Already many thousands of dollars have been shipped to San Francisco from this mill.
 Crook Canyon mines are yielding rich ore, and Bufnm mill is reducing large quanti- ties of the same.
 Near the Tiger, Dan Martin IS working
 On Lynx Greek, Big Bug ana other places, smelters are be,ng put UP, and soon they will be doing good work
 Our copper interests are looking up, sev- eral sales having taken place of late, and rumors of other sales are rife.
 Placer miners are making good wages on the various creeks. where water Is plentiful PFspectors are up and doing, knowing full well that the day is nigh at hand when mines of any merit wIl sell for good figures.
 Taking everything into consideration we look upon OCT mining industry as in very prosperous and healthy condition. We have nothing ,o complain of, save 1t be the lack of machinery with which to work the fioh ores from the ten thousand mines which surround Prescott and beckOning the capi- talist on.

Mrs. Blaine had been some years in Wash ington before Mrs. -, wife of Democratic Senator, called on her. At last Mrs. - was announced one day. As Mrs. Blaine en- tered the drawing room to receive her guest, she noticed the colored cook slip out hur- riedly from the reception room, where Mrs.
 - was waiting. This surprised her, but she said nothing. Next day, however, her valuable cook left her to find place in Mrs. -'s kitchen. At state dinner soon af- forwards given at the Executive Mansion, these ladies chanced to be placed with only seat between them at table. The gentle man sitting between them noticing that Mrs Blaine did not address word of conver- sation to his other neighbor, exclaimed: "Why, Mrs. Blaine, you know Mrs. Senator
 -, do you notf "No," was the answer, loud enough for all around to hear" Mrs. Blank called the other day on my cook, and her card was handed to me by mistake My cook returned the call. "-[ Denver Inter Ocean

The eloquent Dr. Stone, of San Francis 2 said to be afflicted with softening of the brain, is with his brother in New York City, who denies the report, but says:
 The disease which has laid Dr. Stone aside from the active duties of the ministry has puzzled the most acute medical observers, and IS not described Ill any medical work. It is held by some, who are experts Tn the profession, to be thickening of the inner coating of the arteries or blood vessels, pro- ducing occasional interruptions of the circu- lation, which leads to brief periods of un- consciousness. These attacks last but few seconds. and are not attended with any of the symptions that accompany epleptic or cataleptic affections. If he Is holding glass of water in his hand he does not drop 1t, or sit it down, but remains motionless and un- conscious as in trance The extreme du- ration of any of these attacks is two minutes, and the cessation of consciousness IS usually much less than this. His physical health, otherwise, remains good; and there has not been during any period of his sickness that decline of mental power, or ineoherency of thought or speech, which accompany soft ening of the brain.

COAL.

Scupper, Assistant Civil Engineer, s. P. R. R., and Wingate, expert, sent to R. R. to examine the quality of cnal in the Black Diamond coal fields, head of Deer creek, Pima county, pronounce the coal of good quality This plant is in ''Defrees" district, in latitude 8 ., and longitude about 110s, and, doubtless, is continuation of the same bed spoken of by Lieut.. Wheeler in his re- port of his explorations in 1871, as lying within twenty-five miles of Oyrsbe lone of the Moqui vllages) 1l0S longitude, 36 |, 20 latitude, At points between those men tioned, coal openings are known to exist and are likely to be found wherever shale exists. Coal has been developed sixteen miles north of Camp Apache, as also twelve miles west of Fort Wingate, and again at the north west slope of the White mountains. These are but moiety of the coal deposits known to exist in Arizona. MT. Chas. P. Stanton, vouched for as competent geologist, pre- vious to 1878 published in the Prescott WEEKLY MINER an interesting eommunica- ton relating to the coal fields of Yavapai county, in which it is stated that ''nesrly or quite 3S, 900 square miles of coal are to be traced; so that nearly one-haf of the whole coal measures of the United States are embraced in this Territory" There is no good reason to doubt but that this great Arizona carboniferous basin extends from Utah to and into Old Mexico It has that appearance now, and those who look for it will find it in all the area of cretaceous out crop, in longitude no or whereabouts, and in places 1t has been traced as far east as the Rio Grande.-Silyer Belt.

The public mind of Prescott, whichis ever active in its matrimonial imaginings, has de- cided upon the near approach of nuptial season in which some half dozen couples are believed to have decided to yoke themselves togethers, 80 to speak, tso and two, in the silken harness of love and affection. When the public mind of Prescott once decides up .s 1anA4la+ far-an number uf itsi old bachelors and maidens they are thence fort h doomed, as it were, and may as well succumb to the inevitable.
