GIohe Mining ;eux

 The shaft on the German Friend mine Is down 52 feet. The shaft is perpen. dicular, while the ledge dips a little. The shaft leaves the ledge at 30 feet. A cross. cut Is being cut from the shaft to the ledge. The ledge at the surface gave some very rich ore, and the presumption is that it will be equally as good at 5C feet
 The recent heavy rains have been do. ing some good work after all. They ex- posed an exceedingly rich lead on the Great Republic property in Pioneer Dis trlct, and showed a tifteen-fOOt vein on the Mexican, where no work had been done before. Some experienced miners with whom We have had converse ex- press the opinion that a small outlay of money would develop a body of good ore on this property. At present it Is idle.
 The well at the Golden Eagle mill, which was one of the best in the district, being sheathed from top to bottom, and 9O feet deep, has been completely filed with mud from the late floods
 The specimen of ore gwen LIS by the present owners of the Valcano, or more properly speaking, the Htna mine. Is surPassiugly rich. 1t IS a f1e-grained black spar, the seams in which are coated with an extremely ductile horn silver, and the body of tlse rock carries chlOr- ides.
 Mir. Lennon, superintendent of the Silver Nugget, has paid, since the re- sumption of work on the mine, cousid- erably over S20,OOO. During the past week he paid the July accounts. The mine Is improving steadily. The last crosscut is in 1G0 feet, and the hard ground, which made progress slow and working expensive, K passed, and vein porphyry, inteImixed with clay and stringers of quartz, carrying ore, are in the drift. Considerable water is coming III. The north drift Is in l49 feet, and the formation Is favorable. Streaks of ore occur m 1t. As soon as the line of the Mack Morris ground is reached, vl>ieh will be in about Gj feet, a crosscut will hu -run to the hanging wall The reports that reach us as to the condition of this mine, certainly warrant its tho cugh prospecting.
 We have referred in former issues to the Petaluma and its htigators- This is the hlstor! and present status of the al- fair m q nutshell: Mr. Arnett and others located the property several yeas ago, but IL became relOcaIable, so their OppO- nents claim, through failure tO do the work, and also to make ueccs- sary record. Vail and Pascoe, who relo- cated 1t, have done a good deal of devel- opment work on the claim. Arnett S Co. sue them for relinquishment of the property, and ultimately withdraw the suit by notifying the principals and Dis trct Court Clerk. it the time that this notice was being served the Arnett peO- pie took possession of the property and on the dump. They expressed their determination to mold it anyhow" when spoken to by PascOe. Pascoe and Vail swOre out warrants for the arrest of the parties for forcible entry, which were duly served. The parties will be tried to-day. We offer no comments. Our desire Is that justice shall be done.
 The owners of the Etna hc-f-5, m les than week, taken ',,;tt- about five tons O rich ore. It is literally ful l.vl chloride.
 The Globe Copper company hayt ! found a seven foot vein on their location | carrying glance, native copper, red oxide [ and green carbOnates. The find k i'm | portant.
 The Emeline winze is down eighty
 seven feet; when ninety feet is reached work will be discontinued on the winze
 as their air IS bad The intention is t, sink double compartment worzins shaft across tie 1Jilch, 175 feet distant and drift from 1t to the winze. Tht damp weather makes the smoke hang 1T the workings. Stopping is now going on above the tunnel. There is an immense
 quantity of gold ore in the vein between
 the tunnel and surface. There are about lIJ tons on the dump at present. The Gila County Mining Co. are the owners and they have purchased the Miami mil, and made the first payment. The balance will be paid as soon as commu- nicatlun with the outside world makes 1t possible. We were shown some Of the ore a few days ago which had free gold In 1t. We commend the reports of the Superintendent as published in the BOs- ton Advertiser, for their truthfulness He has not thus far made an overstate- mcnt.
 AEtlcltS ti incorporation or the Sun- light Mining Company have been filed and recorded in the Recorders office. of Gila Co. Capital; SjO0OO0. Place of business, Globe, \. T. Place oF meeting Ot Officers and Directors, Sandy Lake, Mercer Co, Pennsylvania.
 We are pleased to report that the Aack Morris Is continuing to hold its own as depth is attained Taking from the bottom of the shaft which is now down 3S5 feet, and considering the length of the developed ore body, it gives an enormous quantity of available ore. There are now 2j0 tons of ore ahead of the mill. Tom West. the foreman, is pushing the work ahead at a rapid rate, and very much Co the satisfaction of the Superintendent, Maj. Baldwin.-Slver Belt.
