Mining Notes.
P. A. BROWN

A Mr. Zink, of New York, stockhol der and representative of the Centennial Co.,, was here and left for his home Friday. During his brief stay he examined the mill and mine and concluded to recom med the sinking of the working shaft to the depth of 300 feet, and open drifts at that depth. The hitherto niggardly out lay of the company in regard to the devel opment of the mine is the causeof thesus- pension of operations at the mill The Centennial has yielded largely in silver and there is no reason to suppose that 1t will not again, by proper management of the directory prove profitable to the own CTS. It is unfortunate for Globe that so many of our silver lodes have fallen into the hands of men who are totally ignorant of what is necessary to place mine on a paying basis. It is reported that the Buffalo mining and smelling company have at Wilcox and on the way between that point and this, 175 tons of coke. The shelter, with an abundance of good ore at the furnace, has been idle for some time for the want of it. A railroad is what is most needed now to bring to the ore and carry copper bullion to market. Some of the Mark Meddle's of Globe are dolorousin regard to the Mack Nor ris, as they have right to be, not be- cause the mine is not all right, but for the reson they have not dollar outside of that great enterprise and only an inn aginary interest in its success. For the information of those who will not refuse to be comforted, we will say that the mine is all right, and is intelligently and understandingly handled.-The east cross-cut on the Apache at depth of 90 feet shows ? it. ''pay streak" of exceed ingly rich ore. Work on the mine has temporarily closed on account of foul air. It is intended to resume work in Septem- Der when the atmosphere will be more favorable for underground work. The Pioneer (proper) near the Apache, is looking splendidly and yielding most sat isfactorily. Pioneer camp is now regard ed as having as fattering prospects as any of the silver bearing camps of Arizona. This is saying good deal, but develop ment is all that is required to prove our statement. Belt.
 The Groom Creek mill has just crushed 20 tons of ore from the Adel mine, which paid at the rate of $50 per ton in gold. Geo. E. Berry and the other owners of the Adel are satisfied with the result. The mill is now at work on ore belonging to A. J. Rubert, taken from the Julia mine, which IS sure to yield $100 to the ton in gold. .-Photographer Burge went to Groom Creek a few days ago. He has made some beautiful pictures of scenery in and around Spruce Mountain and the Lone Star and Uncle Joe mines. People who like to gaze on beautiful mountain scenery should take look at these views.
 -Mr J. c. Cooper, mineralogist for the Atchison Railroad Company, came here, examined mines in Walnut Grove and other districts and is now en route to Topeka, thoroughly satisfied with this as rich mining region. The owners oi the Silver Belt mine, Big Bug district are now being congratulated on theil good luck in having struck 3-foot veil of rich silver ore at depth of 200 feet "A note from c. Douglass Brown tell:
