 l Messrs. Walker and Brady measured the tunnels and drifts in their famous Yekol mine last Saturday, and found [ ey had a total length of one thousand feet. From this they have shipped and sold nearly S3GOOO worth of ore, mak- ing a little over S35 per foot, including the dead work done in air shafts and tunnels.

 The Hardy Cuss, located in Casa Granae district, was sold, this week, by y. L. Court to AIr. J. W. Wilkinson Of Neadviile, Pa. We congratulate NIr. Wilkinson upon having secured one Of the finest properties in that rich and lou-ishinC district Some of the ore at tie present depth assays as high as Sl,- 300 and i, will probably increase ID value as it goes down. If more eastern min .Hg capitalists would come hither, and make personal examinations of proper .y, as did this gentelman, this county would soon have a mining boom equal to that Of Leadville. Not one of the men who have come Co see for themselves have failed to purchase. Only those who have taken their information at second hands, have passed us by. Our properties speak for themselves.

The boy had untied him and accompanied him into the hozse. The voman's wound is painful, but not necessarily dangerous. An inquest was held over the corpse Of the boy and the jury re- turned a verdict of death by accidental shooting.
 The Silver Queen mine, of the San Pedro district continues to increase in value as depth is attained. Since the Fe-re Mining Company bought the prop erty it has been shafting and drifting to the extent of about 300 feet, with the most encouraging results. At the bot tom Of the new shaft, which IS down about one hundred feet, a drift has been nm southeast a distance of one hundred fee, to the old shaft on the ledge. Tn this drift a wing, has been sunk on the ledge to a depth of twenty-five feet, and Is in high grade chloride ore all the way town, showing pay streak of unusual width. Several crosscuts have been made ia this drift, and they all show ore. There is from lj0 to 200 tons of ir>t class ore on the dump. The Queen & developing into a grand property, and We have implicit faith in its future.
