Camp Wood Itis estimated tbat tbere

Camp Wood. It is estimated that there
 is upwards Of ten thousand head of stock
 in these places. Our stock interest is
 rapidly growing, and will bring power of money into our neghborhoOd. Good
 beef cattle are selling rapidly at seven
 cents, having gained Tn price at least
 one hundred per cent. within the last six months
 It is standing disgrace to the Capi-
 tai of Arizona that at present We have no hotel accommodations for transient
 people. There Is not town of our size in the United States, where this state of affairs exists. We are receiving at least dozen of passengers daily, by our stages, and upon their arrival, they are dumped out at our stage offices, tO rustic for themselves, and that too within al most a month of Christmas. Isn't 1t a pretty advertisement for the Capital of Arizona? Why will not some of our business men club together, form a stock company, it up good hotel, and run it under the supervision of an experienced man? The investors will double their money inside the next year.
 Mr. Pell Craigue informs us that there are now thirteen men at work on the Dos Oros, developing this splendid property in good style. There IS at present tun- nel on the mine 60 feet in length, from which a winze has been sunk 30 feet. Ore selected from the dump at random, assays over S1, ,OCO per ton. The vein Is large, and as development progresses, increases in size. The owners of the Dos Oros have purchased for $500 the Raven and Buzzard mines. one-half mile from the Dos Oros, and have men at work on them. It is proposed to erect a smelter for these properties. Messrs. Townsend Cox, ST. and Jr., part owners with NIT. Craigue in these mines, will soon be here from New York, and it is expected that arrangements will then be made to carry on operations on an ex- tensive scale. Pell says that already town lots are in demand in the vicinity of the Dos Oros.
 About three years ago, Dr. $. E. Earn ham and Fred. A. Baker, of New York, purchased from its former owners a min ing claim on Lynx Greek, once known as the Joe Walker, afterwards named the Hidden Treasure. Combining with other interests and locating q tunnel site, they went to New York, an ], with their friends, formed an incorporation under the name of the Iavapai Mill and Min ing Company. The Company began work on the tunnel and then quit, and everything laid quiet for a year or more Last July work vas resumed, under the supervision of MT. Baker, and carried on steadily, night and day, until the vein was struck, early in the morning of Tues- day, November lst. Dr. Farnham went out to the mine at once and returned on the 4th. bringing in q lot of ores for as say, which are very fine. Most of the ore Is full of base metals, but carries geld and silver in paying quantities, and some shows free gold very plainly. The tun- nel is one hundred and ninety feet in length, seven and One-half feet wide on the floor, and six and One-half feet high, i and straight as an arrow. Two veins Oi good quartz were cut in the tunnel, each about two foot in thickness, before the ! Hidden Treasure vein was reached. It l Is twelve feet wide OR the surface, and k cut by the tunnel about l0O feet below the ontcrOppings, and when Dr. r. left the mine, on Friday, the cut was into the vein over five feet and the hanging wall was not vet fGuud. The Company will commence drifting each way on the !. vein shortly, and will run the tunnel l ahead to cut five other veins which lie !. east of the Hidden Treasure. The dis l tance to the next nearest, called the l Mountain Lion, Is nearly one hundred ! feet from the surface, and the tunnel !. will cut it at a depth of one hundred and l. sixty feet. Messrs. Baker S Farnham !. have stayed with this enterprise. in spite !. of many discOuraging obstacles, and de- ]. serve that their reward shall be as great | us 1t now promises to be.
