It is gratifying to know that the l acreage will be larger than ever. With each year our agricultural interest eX- | bands, and the industry will grow IE importance when a diversity of crops are cultivated, an innovation that IS fast taking place.
 Late information from Castle Creek is most fattering in regard to the May flower mine. The shaft IS down in body of ore, carrying a high percentage of copper glance and copper carbonate of the finest grade, and the ore IS full nf fine gold, assaying into the hundreds. If this mine don't prove bonanza, all previous indications are deceptive.

 A..g,-.l,v,s, F., TQ,r-.vr NT.l,. gas Is on the eve of a general boom. Her mines never looked better, and those interested in them had never more faith in thelr perpetuity. Mir. Barrow made the trip in the interest of party of Tombstone capitalists and is much pleased with the result of his iOurus He wIll start for the Lone Star distri-t on a similar errand in few days.
 The Peck k running, the Tiger Is be ing operated, so IS the Gro Bell, at the Gro Bonito camp; Castle Greek has quite a boom and capital IS opening uU the properties on West Humbug, to say nothing of hundred minor operations where the sound of the blast is con stantly heard. and the dull steady roll of the arrastra proves that there Is some object in the labor
 Every day persons are arriving iu Phenix for the purpose of buying ur leasing lands and making their homes there The progress of MaricOra county Is not so exceedingly siov. whilst 1t IS very certain.

 Among the recent additions to Harry Barron's mineral cabinet in Tombstoae are a couple of specimens of crystaliZ.d lead from the Flux mine in the Pata- gonia district One of them is nearl, white, the other has larger crystals and Is of a brOwnish yellow color. Tin, specimens are as rare as they are DeaUti- tuL \ small piece of crystalizeI lead. not one-third the size of either of those specimens, attracted great attention a- the Denver Exposition, on account of it's rarity.
 The Copper Queen and Copper Chief in Copper district, on Castle creek, have been sold to parties from Trinidad, Col OradO, who psld cash down for them. after having first thoroughly examined them. The consideration was far round sum, and the transaction shows that the mines and district are consid- cred very valuable. The parties mak ing the purchase, we believe. were members of the company that lateiy sold out the famous Clifton copper mines in Apache county.
 Arizon8s prospects are better to-day than they have ever been before. Thanks to General Crook and his Indi- an policy, peace and order have been restored. Capital and immigration. which have SO long been retarded by the violence and treachery Of the Apache, are again coming toward ns. seeking investment, and the cowboy el- ement in Southern Arizona has been supplsnted by law. If the Terr1torv continues on m her present course, + will not be many months before she is kuO,klng at the doors of Congre admittsnce as State.
