ARIZONA. Matters and things in the
mining camps of Northwest Arizona are
looking very favorable. We learn from
Robert Logan, who has just completed
an extended tour through that portion of
the Territory, that at the old camp of
Mineral Park the people are greatly
elated at the bright outlook of capital
coming in there. Bob Stein has lately
purchased prospect there, and that
number Of Colorado men are now in
that camp for the purpose Of purchasing
ore. At present they are paying 500 for
$50 ore Oh the dump per ton, and say
that they will pay $40 per ton for the
same class Of ore as soon as the railroad
is built, which will pass within twelve
miles of that place. The Colorado peo-
pie will soon construct small sampling
mill at Beal's Springs, about seven miles
distant from the Park, for the purpose of
sampling ore. The mill at Mineral Park
is now running. Gold Basin has five
mines pretty well developed, exposing
considerable ore, in which gold is plainly
seen with the naked eye, and many Of
the prospects are looking exceedingly
hattering. The mill, which is an accum-
ulation OF pieces Of old mills at wherever
they could be got, has proved failure,
as but half of the gold in the rock can be
saved. The mill has not been running
for some little time, and two weeks ago
there were number of castings at Min
eral Park awaiting shipment to Gold
Basin. With the aid of little capital
Gold Basin would become Furnishing
any money making camp. Cerbat has
promising mines and good ore. The Con-
nor mine, the property of the company
operating there, is highly spoken Of and
contains excellent ore, but the people are
very much discouraged at the bungling
management and fear failure and
crash. The company at Cerbat is COM
posed of Minnesotians, and is under the
management of a man who was connected
with the Bristol Company at the time it
sunk itself in the mire under the then
management, who was also one of the
managers that so successfully placed the
Lincoln S. M. Company in the same pre-.
dicament as the Bristol Mr.. Baldwin
formed the bristol Syndicate, placed
the Roe Brothers, who are old miners,
in charge of the property, and through
their knowledge and energy the prop
erty is the most valuable in Lincoln
county to-day. Arrangements are now be.
ing made to place the Lincoln Company
in charge of miners and its affairs
Strengthened out, and we suppose the
company at Cerbat will be compelled to
go through the same routine as the other
two companies, no matter how much rich
ore is in the mine. At blackberry great
quantities of rich ore has lately been dis
covered and is now being extracted, and
the old abandoned camp will blossom out
more prominent than ever in a short
while. The people of blackberry are all
happy as clans at high tide, the only
trouble on their minds being as to what
they will do with all the money they ex-
pect soon to have. Great railroad build
ing is now going on.
FISH, T. j. Tenant writes from
Carson to Dr. G. R. Alexander that the
catfish and perch to be distributed this
year will be taken from Washoe Lake
The lake was stocked in 1877, and now
there are millions in it. The Commits
sioner will furnish fish for Lincoln county
and Mr.. Tenant says he will notify the
the doctor at what time he will arrive in
Phoebe with them.
THE indications point to furnace, or
furnaces, being erected in the vicinity of
the Fifteen.mile Well. If such should
prove to be the case, the Day Company
will be able to get its ore hauled for less
than dollar per ton, and coal will be Sc
cured for about third less than it was
purchased for at the old furnace. The
water supply in the channel is unlimited
PEoPLE's MARKET.-Th old and reli.
able establishment keeps up its reputa.
ton as furnishing the latest and tender.
est meat in the land, and the large ship.
ment of meat to our little neighborine
camps certify to this fact. A large sup
ply Of fresh pork sausage meat is always
kept on hand at the Peoples Market.
GOLD ORE.--Gold quartz has beer
struck in the Ontario claim at Stampede
Gap. The ore exhibited in town is .
quartz and iron, and the gold in the rock
could easily be seen. An assay made o.
the rock gave return of So, 5l6.27 ir
gold per ton This is the first gold rock
discovered in that locality.
The mill Of the Bristol Company wa'
to have dropped stamps again on Thurs
day, as it was thought by that time thu
water.tanks and we'll would be filled with
sufficient supply of water. Great in
convenience is occasioned owing to thu
inadequate supply of water.
