MINING NOTES.
Capital Is crowding US. The
small rate of interest in the East
has forced men to look for more
profitable investments than gov.
ernment four per cents. Our ho-
tells are crowded with Eastern cap
italists, and every day we hear Of
profitable mining sales. The latest
was the Goldtres mine, in the San-
ia Rita mountains, which sold on
Monday for $40, 900 cash. l.. F.
Fries and Max Werner have mine
In the Papag0 mountains which
they have prospect of selling for
$780, 900. Thomas Gates and his as.
soclates have q group Of mines near
Tucson, the ore from which, at a

great expectations.
MINING EXCHANGE.
We now have the Mexican and
| American Mining Exchange, un-
der the directorship Of F. p. Fors.
ter and Mr.. Soto, a fine building
on Mexican street, In which mine
owners congregate and transact
business. Samples Of ore from ali
parts of Sonora and Arizona are
| displayed, the labels showing the
local alities Of the mines and the as
say value Of the rock. Altogether,
the Mining Exchange has, In. q
| few weeks, become one OF the val
ued institutions Of Tucson, and q
number of mine negotiations have
been made through Its medium. /.
Tombstone, Harshaw, Globe, Sill
yer King, PApago, Old Hat. Ari-
vaca, and other mines, are turning
out richer ore every day, as they
sink deeper, and the untold wealth
OF the mineral belt will do much
towards making Los Angeles the
second city Of Californla.
