 Bullion shipment from the Mack Morris for week ending April 21, $9923. 92; total to date, $4S9, ,4SS. .-Centenial bullion was not sent to the express office at the hour of going to press. The delay was in consequence of stamping quality of bars. We approximate the value at be- tween $7,0oO and s10,0o ,0oO.-Work is progressing vigorously and satisfactorily on the Hoosier copper mine, unquestiona- bly, a large and magnificent body of ore. Over 250 feet of openings have already been made in ore. The other mines, the Cuprite and Grey, of same group, are opening well. w. E. Spence, the sup erintendent, has shown by his work that he is the right man in the right place. We were shown this morning samples of ore from the bottom of 70-foot shaft on the William Bros. mine, near the South Pioneer, which resemble in character the ores of the latter mine-zinc blend in porphyritic quartz At present depth the zinc is said to be four or five feet wide, nearly all in ore. If such is the case, the boys undoubtedly have bo- nanza-Siluer Belt.
 The Borva group of mines, is located near tho Old Dominion. and during our recent visit to the latter we examined the developments made upon this property. The principal work has been done upon 8 ,l,ll to that of the O. D., about 2,000 feet to the eastward. Upon the dump we found quite large quantity of ore resembling in appearance that taken from the O. D. The workings consist of a tunnel of 100 feet, near the end of which 50-foot winze | hasbeen sunk from the bottom of which 8 cros-cut shows a ledge of mineral about 9 feet in width. This ledge matter shows an average assay of about 30 per cent. copper Lower down the mountain a shaft has been sunk 110 feet reaching a depth of.90 feet below that of the winze from which stoping can be prosecuted to the winze taking cut the main ore body. 1 The present tunnel is nearly 300 feet above the bed of the Pinal creek, and it is proposed to run tunnel from point 100 feet lower down in the gulch, tapping the ledge about 250 feet distant, and giv- ing convenient point of delivery for the ore from both above and below. In addi- tion to this shaft is being sunk which will strike the ledge near the winze, 1t IS sup posed at about 100 feet in depth, which will furnish ventilation to the mine. The ledge shows one of the smoothest hang ing walls we have ever seen in any mine, having declination of, VIC shonld judge, about 40 degrees. The work upon this mine seems to be performed in an intelli- gent manner by an experienced miner,
 Mir McNeil the foreman, who is enthu- siastic over the present prospects, and so far as we are able to judge, justly so He says he can deliver for smelting at least sixty tons day of 30 per cent ore with the necessary amount of labor, which we
 presume will be furnished. Altogether
 the Borva property has promising out
 look. We saw, yesterday, 2, 200 pounds
 of copper bullion run from one smelter of
 the c. D. c. NJ. Go. in three hours from
 average Old Dominion ore.-Globe Chron'

 Charles McMahan, from the Black Hills
 four or five miles east of Mars ranch
 brought in yesterday, some ore from z blind vein, which he cut through in run
 ming tunnel to strike the Molly Gar
 field copper vein. He called the ore grey
 copper, but the assay made by Stah
 showed the ore to be sulphide of anti mony and copper, carrying 131} ounces in silver per ton. This unexpected strik, of two and half foot vein, which di' not show on the surface, IS very encour aging to the owners, Messrs. McMahal 7 and Webb They expect to cut the ledg B they are running for, in 125 fees distance . at depth of 150 feet The cropping are large, eight to ten feet on the surface 5 assayinp an average of 61 ounces silve - per ton and 39 per cent copper. Tn g immediate vicinity of these mines Is strongly mineralized region. The Turke . Creek Mining Company, incorporated i T Chicago, whose work is under charge C l. Thomas Treanor, have, near the head C e Turkey Creek, four mines which they ar s exploring, viz: The Gold Note, Bullion 10 Michigan and Abbie On the Gold Not g is shaft 130 feet deep, and tunnel ru IS on the vein 200 feet. In the bottom ( is shaft is one foot of argentiferous galen n that assays $lOO per ton. In the tunne
 for the last sixty feet, IS streak of ol e varying from fifteen to twenty four incht l. in thickness, averaging $60 per ton. Q l. the Bullion the main shaft is forty-fN
 feet deep. The vein IS seven feet vic
 and has at that depth three feet of soli 10 ore. Two shifts of miners are at work c
 this claim, and three on the Gold Note 7S eleven men in all, and last Friday M W Trainor took out a half-a-dozen nor d MT.
