 It is a strong, well pronounced vein, with ore differing in character from what is
 found in the Mack Morris. Its greatest known width is 13 feet, which IS on the 25 it. level in shaft No. 1. This shalt is 4, feet deep. Shaft No ? is 100 it. deep, and perpendicular. There are prospecting levels at 25, 50 and 100 it. The drift on the. 50 ft level runs under shaft No. l. The drift on the 100 1t. level is in g feet. All of the workings arc in orc. The ledge is no place less than : feet There are about 200 tons of ore on the dump, and it is all the result of the development. No s'oprng has been done. A quantity of ore shippedto Sun Francisco worked $457, The ore on the dump is good. The dumps are tho best for their size in the District. The property is owned by Risbridgcr, Wilder and one other person whose name we do not remember. We do not know the average-vaIue of the orcr-hut believe II would bc high. The ledge is strong and bold at the surface. We look II = th- E. RicLmond, is prospectively, Valuable property.
 Two new ore wagons passed through Globe, from Wilcox, for the Mack Mor. ris Co.,. and laden with the last instalmenl of machinery for the hoisting works for the Mack Morris mine.
 The South Pioreer's condition may bc apprcximaled by pcrusal of the follow. ing figures all of which are reliable. 235 fl. of expo.ed ore body on the 70 fl. level, the average ,hickness say two feet (it is more than lhaD, height of drift, say ft.., making 32s tons. No stoping has been done exccp, in the north end of the mine, and only fcw'tons have been taken out h,ere. Suppose we multiply the height of the drift by s it will leave IA feet for denG ground between the tieor of tle drift and the surface. The 320 tons multiplied by 8 would give 2G22 tons. At what is known as the combination shaft, the vein rises wtl, the hill, and the ore in the difference between the rise and the general levc' of the claim is sufficient to balauce what has been taken cut. Now if :bis ore is of an average value of.S20O, and we are satisfied from what has been worked, and from the assays we've seen, that its, then the South Pioneer has S526, 400 worth Of ore in sight. There is only one opinion about this prop. erty, and that is that if it goes to 300 feet as it is now, It will be one of the best mines in Arizona.
 The South Pioneer NJ. Co. have pur- chased lto,0o0 feet of Oregon lnmber, in San Francisco, and will soon haye.it at lhcir n.iisc. Hhes cou,emplate esu1i5rg"T saw mill, but .his lumber Is needed to fill immediate requirements.

 Geo Scott has bonded the Pioneer mine for 75,G00 to Eastern parties, who have paid forfeit of ten per cent.
 Mineral Creek is steadily improving. Col. Cooper has added six more men to his working force An the necessary machin- cry and lumber for the mill has arrived. They are driving the drift to connect with E. shaft. IL needs 100 feet more to con. meet. There wi i'll then be an abundance of fresh, cool air. Since the first start was made on this mine il has never been hand led as well as now, and Col. Cooper de- serves the confidence and endorsement Of his company. He is very attentive to his duties, and is always at his post.
 MT. Martell. who is in charge of the Old Dominion Cos work during the absence of the superintendent, reports that in cut. ting a cross cut from the end of the 800 fl. tunnel tc the shaft, his meu struck Ire foot body of high grade copper Ore-fcd oxides and green carbona,ss,
