 We received 9 pleasant visit, Friday, from Mr Nelson, San Francisco mining expert, who is here to examine the Alice mine, at Mineral Hill, in the interest of Philadelphia capitalists He is a man of cool judgment and does not express nasty opinions. He says no man can examine a mine in day and give reliable report of it; therefore he proposes to spend a week in his examination of the Alice. We are glad to see experts of this character visit Mineral Hill Her mines will bear careful investigation, and we have noth ing to fear from reports made by men who examine our properties in that way
 Mr F w Peabody, of San Pedro, was in town this week and gave good report of the mines ill that district. He has charge of the Watson and several other valuable properties in that district. He antici- pates a speedy resumption of work on the former claim. It is owned by 8 company financially strong, and feeling encouraged by the present splendid showing in the mine, they purpose spending large sum of money in exploration of the ledge. There is but little doubt as to the result proving satisfactory. At any rate, we commend the wisdom of the company in deciding to ascertain as near as possible the exact capabilities of their property, before mourning the expense of erecting mill. It is the only safe and sensible course for mining company to pursue. The Silver Queen, which we mentioned last week as having been bonded to Tue son parties for $50, 900, is probably sold, but we have not received definite infor- nation to that effect. Mr. Peabody ex- pected that the final consummation of the sale would occur on Tuesday The Tue son parties were negotiating the purchase for some Illinois capitalists The outlook in the San Pedro district is hopeful, and once the boom starts it will be perma- nent. That section possesses the double ad vantage of being mining and an agricul- tural district. Either of these interests is sufficiently strong to insure it a pros porous future, and the two combined will make it booming country.
 Charlie Rapp returned Thursday from his stock ranch on the upper Gila. His ranch is located near the famous O'Brien and San Carlos copper mines, recently sold by Vim. Tweed and partner to New York parties for S150,0O0 Charlie is enthusiastic over these mines. There are four claims located in square, and show a solid deposit l, 200 feet wide. The com pany has taken up mill-site on the river, and Vim. Tweed and Judge Bush have laid out town-site at the same point The coal fields lie only seven miles be- yond this. A wagon-road is now build ing from the mouth of the San Pedro to the mines, a distance of eleven miles up the Gila. Judge Bush and Mir. Tweed have five other claims in the same vicinity upon which they are now working, and lively times are anticipated when the com pany commence active operations at the OBrien and San Carlos group. There is some doubt as to whether this valuable property lies on the reservation, ill Gila, or in Plnal county, and it will probably take survey of the county and reserva- tion lines to settle the question The Saddle Mountain district lies but a short distance farther up the river and is in this county. Some large sales of property in the latter district are on the point of consummation, and there are strong indi- cations of an early boom in that quarter. When all the districts in that section open up, they will add largely to the mine value of the smallest and best county in the Territory, viz; Pinal.
