Mining Notes.

The smelter of the Detroit Copper Min ing Company is shut down by reason of having no ore. During this Indian trouble not man is to be had to haul ore The mines are distant from the shelter some six miles. A very heavy loss in conse- quence IS thus entailed to the Detroit company.
 Mir. P. L. Bruce, chief engineer of the Boston and Sonora Minining Company. is at present in Tucson in the interest of his company, who are making preparations for the removal of their mill at Arivaca to the Nina Grande mine in the Sombretilos Mountains in Sonora. The mines in the Sombretillos are said to be all looking well, better even than was at first antici- pated. The Sombretillos mill, belonging to another company, IS up and ready to commence work. The mill has ten stamps, and as the company has five good mines, they reasonably expect good bullion showing to be made. CitizeIt.
 MT. Flint, of the Jersey Mill and Min ing Company, gives most encouraging ac- counts of the development of the Dela- ware and Fremont gold quartz claims, which he has opened in several places, show that the ore in the vein averages five feet i'll thickness and the ore worked in his steam arastras demonstrates the fact that 1t pays in the most satisfactory manner. In addition to these claims, the Jersey company have other claims which pros pect well, both in gold and silver. There will be boom at the head of Maple Gulch one of the coming days.-DemOcrdt
 Mir. J. F. Blandy is in town from Lynx creek, Walker mining district, and says the furnace, with Prof Shafer in charge, will start up shortly. Charcoal and ore are being hauled quite freely. The roaster now going up will be ready for work next week. The Dos Oris min ing company are forwarding ore by pack train. Mir. John Holmes, |. hard work ing miner who has developed a few good claims in Turkey creek district, is in town and gives names of ten or more compa- nies who have men at work developing mines there. An assay from the Robert F. Lee mine, near the Grey Eagle, Bradshaw district, goes S45.78 gold and S6099 silver per ton. Mir. Hall, the Tragic butcher, is half owner in this pro- missing property.

 Arivaca district The Derre mill has been running about two weeks on Som bretillo ore, a free chloride --Arivaca, twenty stamps, is at work on gold ore from Gro Blaneo. Five hundred tons will be put through the mill Work on the Pima, situated near the Arkansas, three miles north of town, has struck into ore worth four dollars a pound at a rr ixtr c,x in perfect walls.-- Work on the Arizona mine shows fine ledge of rich gold ore at forty feet down, and about thirty tons are out on the dump. Men are at work tunneling on the Albatross. s.--The Ar kansas, a coming bonanza, has to stop work on account of water at 250 fooe level awaiting the required tinlbers, tht ground being extra soft. "A good copper prospect has been found nine miles north west of Arlvaca. in the Quiotojas. The Warsaw is doing nothing. Tucson Star
 The Phoenix mine in the Cave Creek district is advancing steadily towards development Mir. w. H. Thomas, who has the contract of working it, is an able and efficient miner who thorouhly un- | derstands his business, and under his wise management 1t promises to pl owe per feet success. He is now working night and day with two shifts of three men each, and is down 75 feet on the working shaft, intending shortly to tunnel and strike the ledge. We spent Sunday with Mr. | Thomas at his camp, and were very hos pitably entertained -Cave Creek = We learn through Prescott papers that the Cherry Creek ten-stamp mill, situated about thirty miles from Prescott, of which Mir J. J. Gosper is the principal owner is, again at work crushing out the rich ores of that district, with very fattering re- suits. We are pleased of course to learn that the boss of the Herald is doing well. -Phcenix Herald.
 While running drifts in the well being sunk at the mill, the worklnen, last Tues day, encountered vein of ore about an inch i'll width. The president of the mill company, W. w. Tice, and the mill write, $. P. Duzan, went down into the well and breaking off few pieces from the vein, had them tested, merely to | gratify curiosity. The result was astonish- ing, the first assay yielding about twenty six ounces in gold. Thinking there might be some mistake, two more assays were made, the results were more astonishing than the first. They went 102 and 127 ounces in gold, respectively. What is still more rS markable is that the gold is absolutely pure, several trials having de- monstrated tbis fact.
 No one thought of finding a vein in that locality. The we'll is sunk in the valley, at polnt where prospectors would the least expect to find mineral. If the vein should widen with depth, MT. Tice will have found a veritable bonanza, the like of which will not be equalled in the Territory. In view of the fact that the company has had the enterprise and courage to expend large sums of money here in erecting a mill and supplying means for miners to open up and develop their properties, We hope this new fnc may increase in extent and richness fol their efforts. s.-Gold Note.
