cilities for working ores to a proper per centage on their assay value. The present surveyed line of the Tucson and Gulf Railroad runs sufficiently near the district and Arivaca to insure new era for this section, being only about l40 miles from tide water, which will enable mining ma chinery, timber, coal and all heavy goods to be laid down for half the present rates of freight, and will draw public attention ts the great mineral wealth of this sec tion, as well as its stock raising andsother advantages. Mine seekers should inves- tigate this section. -Stor.
 The Black Rock incline, Baily shaft, has attained depth of about 240 feet, and the ore output has proven satisfac tory. An addition is being built to one of the houses at Keith city, and lum- Der building IS in process of erection over the hoisting engine. Mir. Living stone, Colorado expert in the reduction of ores, IS making an examination of the Red Cloud furnaces at Norton's Landing, and the outlook is favorable for run of the Black Rock ores. The Lost mine is under the skillful manipulation of those thorough miners, Hart and Dolson. The 8x10 chamber being cut south from the tunnel, on the hanging wall, prepara- tory to sinking, is nearing completion. The shaft will be 45 feet from the dump, by tunnel and open cut. Good ventila- ton is assured for 200 feet The draft through the tunnel makes it difficult to keep candle lighted. The Remnant. Owing to the depth acquired on this mind, 220 feet vertically. work has been suspended until the arrival of the steam hoisting plant, winch is now in Yuma awaiting transportation. From the 175- | foot tlmbers this mine is in the wonder ful sand carbonate, galena and horn silver the Remnant the peer of any mine ill Arizona. One year ago $10,0O0 would have captured this property. How many other prospects will open into bonanzas, time will tell. Nelly Kenyon is most favorably situated, owing to a june ton being formed by the Red Cloud ore channel and Remnant ore channel mid way of the clstm From this, and othel favorable indications, the writer is borne out in the assumption that on this lode the next big strike will occur. --Tht Rainbow (known to the old residents a! the Wilmington), the writer is informed

 Among the many interesting specimen
 of ore designed by Arizona miners for tn
 Denver Exposition, the one about to b
 shipped by the Copper Queen compan.
 will certainly occupy a foremost position
 The specimen in question is one soli
 mass weighing two tons. It is of pyra
 midal form, about s feet high, and q b feet thick at the base. On one side
 about midway between the base and tn
 apex is a recess, the only interruption il it's symmetrical shape. At this recess is miniature cave 16 inches deep, inche
 high and inches wide. It IS III the fcrl
 of an assayer's muffie The sides an roof are covered with beautiful stalac tites. The carbonate ore of which thi peculiarly attractive piece is compose
 assays from g to 20 per cent. It is pro
 posed to place the pyramid in a large iron bound crate and ship direct to Den yer by the way of Benson. Strange t } say, it will be placed among the Topek and Santa Fe exhibits, instead of in tn
 Arizona department. This is explaine by the fact that the above towns invite the Copper Queen to take space in thei department before it had been de6nitel
 settled whether or not Arizona woul
 take any official part in the exposition O have any space set apart for its disposa ? At the close of the Denver affair tn : Copper Queen specimens will be forward , ed to Washington, there to remain O permanent exhibition. This compan : will also furnish bar of bullion to th g exhibition. A well informed gentlema : stated to Star reporter yesterday tn; U the Copper Queen was shipping bullio 7 at the rate of 12 to Is tons daily, an hoped to ship about 370 tons during tn y month. Star

 bullion is coming forth at the rate T 5000 per day. It will be easily unde d stood that failure in mining is due j. ignorance entirely, and not to want Q richness in ore. Professor Shafer, VI
