l EutcrIrl~e-
 l 4 prospector by the name Ot Jeuson ] has sold mine in the Ripsey district 1 for S2l,OOO cash. We have not been able ' tO ascertain either tue name of the claim | or the purchasers yet.
 Jere Fryer the lively landlord of the | Casa Grande hotel, Was at the county ! seat, Wednesday, completing the pur- | chase of a oue-fpurth interest in the Sll- yer Queen mine, better known as the ! Edgar mine. The remaining three funyths were bought by C. G. Lewis, and company of this place. Mr. Vim. Jennings made 10 or F. assays from ore ! bruu. ht from this mine last week, bv Dan Crocker aud Charlie Beckwi. h. The best assay went over 5000 The ore contains considerable black sulphurets.
 A cash offer of S25,O0O for this mine has
 been refused.
 Died at his residence Tn Florence, on
 the 18th of March, lSS2, of dropsy. Jean
 D. nduIIIrz, Iii lsit - n, ceased was an old French soldier, having
 served in Mexico from the time of the
 French occupation till their expulsion.
 He was in all the important battles and
 was never known Co be lacking in cour-
 age, or in devotion to the cause he
 served. He leaves an aged wife and
 numerous relatives to mourn his loss.
 The remains were inferred
 olic cemetery Sunday. Father Gerard
 being absent Mr. l.. L. Remy conducted
 the burial service.
 Jere Fryer has given thirty-day bond
 on two copper claims known as the East
 and West, and located ID Casa Graude district. They have not been developed tO any grea extent, but show strong
 vein of high grade ore. Jere owns more
 good claims in that district than any two men interested there, and none have done more tow ird bringing the camp ont Like the Walkers and Brady and
 Wilson, he has stood by the district and
 spent his money in developing claims and sinking wells for water, when ali others seemed to have set their faces against it. He will soon reap his re- ward in seeing his district take its place at the front, where its marvellous ricL- ness should have long since placed 1t.
 Mir. Joseph ColliDgwood has a num- ber assays made this week from a new discovery, located near this place, and the result was astonishing. The lowest assays Oi the lot went over S9O0 and the highest nearly S3,0OO. The average was considerable over Sl,000. They are now 1 sinking on the claim, and as soon as the work shall have progressed sufficiently to determine the extent and character oi the vein, We shall make a detailed and ! full report of 1T. Right here We desire to remark that the fact of Pinal cuGnty's s superiority in mineral wealth Is becom- | ing more apparent every day. Mining men should make a note of thIs, and fl there b. any incredulOys enough to doubt the statements of this truly rehg- ] ions and strictly first class newspaper, i let them come and see for themselves. | We invite invest -atIous and care not l how thorough and searching it may be. ! h fact We want only men who are given ! tu manner Of investigation tO come. We don't want any Of the eye-EaEgle wearing | and goose-hsaded CalOOts, who will stand | ten yards from a dump and write a re- port as long as tue moral law and threo 1 times as iucomprenensIble, all for the ! couside atIon of S5 per day and few . shares of stock. Our mines are not "wIld
 cltS,r and We are not looking for sales
 by that method. We want men to go 1, into them, look through them, explore the veins and sample the ore, that they may be convinced, as We are, O. the ln- : trinsic worth of our mining property. The Reward mine, in Casa Grande dis- trict, and recently bonded by the Chill ! son brothers to Eastern capitalists for ! SJ0,OOO, k, to use miners pariance, pan ming out well. The gentlemen securing
 the bond paid S5,OOO down, with permls-
 sion to work on the mine, and as soon as the papers were signed their superln- ' tauIeur Prof DDwlev commanced work
 on the property. He run a tunnel to a depth of Si feet, and Is now sinking an incline tc connect at the breast Of the
 latter. The in-iine k down 65 feet and shows a fine body Of ore at the bottom lt will require further depth of 40 feel
 to reach the tunnel at the connecting
 poiut. and from the trend of the veIn the
 % feet vet to be sunk will undoubtedly pass through ore all tho, way down. Tn,
 tunnel Is in ore from the face to the breast, aud ten assays made from sam
 ples taken across tine veln gave an aver age uf S,3S m silver Co the ton. Tn,
 test was carefully made and with view Of getting a fair average. The supcrin tendeut k satisfied with the result. Mr Nichols, one oi the head men of the com
 nauv, arrived at Casa Graude Monday
 1 and left immediately for the mine |, , make a final examination of it. w have not been able to learn the result O
 his investigation, but with the showin. in the new developments and the test m lde by its own superintendent, 1t | reasonable to presume that he will talk Q the property. He certainly could no
 find a more promising property.
