Mr. C. Loss is in town and informs us that he visited, some days since, the re- markable copper claims recently discovered and located by Mir. Sharp and his part ner. Mr. Sharps statements relative to the extent of the find were not in the least exaggerated, s2ys Mir. Loss. He found the discovery all it was represented to be by the ENrEErRIsE and assures us that nothing like 1t has been found in the West. l. shows mass of ore at one point on the surface all of four hundred feet square, and from which seven assays gave an average of 15 per cent. As We stated before, it is only about two miles from the river and six or seven miles above Butte.
 Mir. H. B. Montgomery left Wednes- day for Tucson, and will go thence east on his summer vacation. He will % first to his old home at Montgomery, Indiana, for visit with his kindred and boyhood friends, then take up his line of march for New York City. After viewing the gilded elephant of the great metropolis to his hearts content, he will take is pasear down to Long Branch to revel with the shapely sirens in the surf We would like to join him in the journey, but as that is out of the question, we simply wish him bon roytge and safe return when his sum mer's fun is ended.
 Will A. Henry returned from Mineral Fill Monday, and brought down lot of fine-looking ore from the Lelo dump There are about twelve tons of high grade ore on the dump now and a large amount of the same character in sight in the tunnels. The lower tunnel which follows the ledge, is in fifty feet and shows a fine vein of higl-grade ore, which is eight inches wide at the face of the tun- nel and gradually widens out till 1t is nearly two feet wide at the breast of the tunnel. The upper tunnel, which runs across the ledge, Is in about forty feet and shows three-foot vein of solid ore. This tunnel is about three hundred feet from the lower one, a fact proving that the vein is continuots S The owners are talking about putting up two arrastras to work the ore and pay the expense of develop ment
 MT John T. Bartleson has demon strated the fact that as fine Irish potatoes can be grown in this valley as can be pFeduced by any patch of terra tirlna on the globe, not excepting even the soil of the ''Auld Sod" He planted an early crop and had potatoes large enough for table use four weeks ago. All it needs to grow them is a little care and free ex- penditure of muscle in cultivating them They will not grow spontaneously like other crops, but they can be cultivated vegetable, grain or fruit that would not grow in this valley Take farmer from tue cast who has been accustomed to raising crops on the sunny side of d sand stone, start him here and lie would SUI prise the world with the quantity, quality and variety of the products he would bring forth from this soil
 If the Storm King does not treat us to d shower of hail, the fruit and grape crop of this valley will De trebly as large as it was last season. The peach trees are bending earthward under their load of fruit. The same is true of the pome- graEates and other varieties of semi-trop- ical fruit. The vineyards are literally a mass of grapes. Some of the punches in Mir. Mason's vineyard are ten and twelve inches long now, and will be fifteen in ches long when the grapes attain their full growth. The same is true of Mr Reny's vineyard In the latter we counted fifty two punches of grapes on one small vine only two years old. Other vineyards will yield equally well and considerable wine will be made here this season This is bound to be the garden spot of Arizona and the most desirable place to build homes. No other section has such va riety of resources and natural advanta res. or such a healthy, uniform and temperate climate. Emiyrants should make notes of these facts
