The ChOctaw property consists of the ChOctaw, Chicasaw and Cherokee They are promising prospects. Ore assays from $50 10 $250, but fair average gives SEQ to S40 in silver and 1 $20 gold. These mines are well sit uated for working, and mill site has been located where water Is obtain able all the year round. They are distant one-Quarter of a mile from Orc Blanco.
 Bulldozer is a promising prospect, and contains bright chloride ore.
 Golden Cross, Pole Star and Key stone come uext, the latter comprising large body of carbonate free milling 1 ore.
 Idaho, the property of the Orion Company, is four miles from the Orc BlancO postofiice, in the Arizona mountains, has loft shaft and sundry driftings. From this mine a large quanty of rich-loOking ore seen on the dump has been extracted
 Montana also belongs to the Orion Company. Professor John c. Church, of New York, in reporting on this mine says It is the biggest mine in ATivaca. The average assays give $47 silver, and the quantity of ore visible is really enormous. It has a tunne, l50 feet along the ledge, a wiDZe 10 feet, all in ore; 400 to 600 tons of ore now on the dump, mostly assorted, some of which is very rich. The ore is a chloride and carbonate, and although if not of very high grade there Is enough in sight to keep a mill going tor years. Before year has passed there will be mill started to work this property, and the owners look for grand results. The ledge is of great dimensions, and has been measured 10 the extent of 60 feet, sl- though by some who ought to know its breadth is placed at 100 feet. The Peeled Stick comes next in order. It has shaft about 100 feet down and a cross-cut Of 123 feet, all in ledge matter, and has 29 feet of ore of S25 assay.
 Kentuck has 37 feet of ore and 40- foot shaft, and @ cross-cut to ore body. It assays $40. The whole dump. IS mineral and no waste matter. uE " dAGlAduh EAAlLlA OA JOAAA -iAObAN V is a valuable property, showing an i'm mense body of. gold quartz of low grade, situated close by natural spring where there is water all the year round.
 St. Domingo lies alongside of the Watertank, and is also on the gold belt.
 The Durand group of mines lie close 10 the Warsaw mlne and con- prise seven locations, viz: Susannah, HooGoo, Hilo, Ohio, Southern Pa- cifc, Forty-Nine and Hidalgo-
 The Susannah has shaft ut 60 feet, with a 1215- foot ledge, and assays from $40 all the way up to $500. The character of the ore is similar to that of the Warsaw, from winch it is even difficult 10 distinguish it. It is on the same lode as the Warsaw, and l am informed has quite us good, If not better, surface prospects than it's near neighbOr.
 The Hidalgo has two shafts of 10 feet each, and assays have been ob- talned of S60 silver.
 Forty \ inc has four cuts run into the hillside; has a 6-foot ledge, and picked specimens assay $S9.
 Ohio has tour cuts opened and B. foot ledge.
 Southern Pacific has an open cut, showing 5 feet of solid ore, going l S6j, and is a most promising prospect. Hoodoo has 6 15-foot shaft and @ vein of ore f feet broad. Hilo has a 50-foot shaft.
 This group of mines is al present bonded Tn New York, and will doubt less well repay any money spent in their development.
 Calaveras is situated close to Old Orc Blanco. It is opening out to the satisfaction of the owners, and has a foot shaft. The highest assay ob- tained was $362, the lowest S26, while several run up to $50 and Sl63. The width ofledge visible is Is feet, but so far its entire breadth has not been discovered. This mine is bonded for $l5, 900 and is cheap at that.
 The Spring mine adjoins the Gala veres; has an S-fOot ledge, and gives an assay Of Sl6O.
 Our Lizzie is one mile north from the Calaveras; has rich vein of four feet of mineral
 We come next to the Warsaw mine, which IS the best developed ID the district. IL is the property of the Orion Mining Company, of the city of Philadelphia, and bids fair to be a valuable property. There are three shafts. viz: The main shaft, 2l2 feet deep; Bonanza Point shaft, no feet deep and the third shaft 60 feet deep. Work is now progressing in the llO- foot shaft, from which rich ore Is be- Ing extracted. IL is here that within the past week a 3-foOt streak of ore has been struck that will mill at least $500. The ledge runs northeast and southwest, and so far they have eX- tracted at least 150 tons, which IS now on the dump awaiting the starting up of the mill for treatment. The ore IS rebell,ous and requires roasting. It also contains a good per centage or native silver, which makes some of the ore assay way up in the thousands.
 Another group of mines, owned by some of the miners working at the Warsaw, deserves a passing notice. They consist of locations, VIZ:
 Nil Desperandum has a SO.foot shaft. Assays have been obtained from $50 as high as SS0 gold per ton. The ledge is from to $ feet at bottom of shaft.
 Eureka has a 6-foot shaft, and shows mineral.
 Justice also has 6-foot shaft.
 Rex del Monte has a cut s feet and a shaft I2 feet, the croppings from which gave a Sl5 assay.
 Neck or Nothing has an S-foet ledge and contains silver and copper.
 Piute had a 25 foot shaft when wa- ter was struck; has ore giving m as say value of $S7 gold.
 Monte Christo and Fanny l failed to see or get any particulars about.
 Col. Mothers has three locations close 70 the Warsaw:
 Sandusky has a 22-foot shaft and several cuts. It contains a carbonate ore and has a S15foot ledge, which asSays so 10 $35.
