4 TOUR.
The Castle Creek Copper Mines
 aud Gold Hines of HumbuZ.

l Mn. EDITOR :-There is so little
 known about the present showing
 and future prospects of the above
 named part of the world, and patch
 of Arizona, that thought synop-
 sis of what i going on in that region
 might be of interest to the readers Of
 the, HERALD. and particu ariy the | people of Phoenix and Salt River
 Valley. LeIving fhGnix on the 27th of September, I pullei up at
 Desert We'll Ii tie before noon,'
 about fourteen miles from Phoenix.
 After wal ering my horse and eating
 q goo dinner prepared by the host .-ss of t.Ie static l, Mrs. Kellerman, l started for the Agua Fria, some twenty miles farther; tied up my horse about four miles this side of Agua FIia, pcke:ed my horse on good grass, spread down my bed, loHesomcly went 10 sleep, aud, after hay ng slept soundly all night, woke up in time to g.t a good view of the comets tail. Pulling out about sun. rise, my route jay up tn. Agua Fria tn the mouth of Castle Creek, about eigl.t miits to Warm Springs; took a bath, fed my horse and myself and started for the Mayfower. val uabie copper claim owned by Thompson & Co.,; found the May flower campers all astir and the owners all excited over the discovery hat the mine was rot only good | copper pro pect, but prospected well | in free gold alsn. It seems, fro n what I learned of the past history of | the working of the Mayfiower, that, being satisfied with the copper in tight, they had not paid any atten- tio,. to the other half of the lead, | some seven feet in width, and were >urprisesl by horn spoon test to find that it was rich in gold. Cop per was way down in that camp, and was nrthIng but a base metal anyhow. From there I wendell my way to Buchanan. & Cos camp at Buck Horh Spring or near it, for the parpo5e of examining the mine and wing the members of that camp. I found the remaining mem- oers of that camp riding on high nor C for very good reason.
 From them I learned that Mr. Buchanan had sod part of his in :, re.t in his mine to a man name.!

| zee this mine anu,
 1 chased an intr and agreed to.put
 up money to have it prospectcd and deveioped. Mir. Buchan Il & Co.'S
 claim shows Urge copper cropping
 and the W ork done on it justifies the
 balief that it is a large copper mine. After learning all the facts relative
 to Iii property and taking a look at
 the claim, l started for the Copper
 opoli, miaes as they are called, some
 tlree o four miles to the north of Buck Horn Spring. On my way
 thither stopped to take view of tile Jones mine, over WI ich Camp II and the Rodebushes made such

 to rrovc wh ther it was mine or
 not. Wry so intelligen, men ss the
 R dcbusllcs and Mir. Campbell aban-
 dontd so fine looking prospect as
 his property presents, would be
 hard to gue's, put certain it is that
 they ahand oned one of the best look-
 ing prospects in tl.is district, and in
 violation, am told, of their contract
 with G. w. Groom. Pursuing my
 j 'urney, I landed in Coppcropolis
 while the miners were taking their
 nGon reposc, and put mp for the day.
 Fiom the hands I learned that the
 Colonel had also been there and, af-
 ter sxaninaiIon, expressed surprise
 that a property looking so valuable
 shoud 50 long lie undevelGped near o.her camrs. ". c. Collier & Co. own four claims here on the lode that constitutes the Copperopoli, group, the phi cipal one, or the on e being worke>., lying in CopPeroi- olls Creek. On this claim there has been cons .derabla work done, aud everywhere shaft has bccn sunk, a drift run, or s cut across the lode l they have large bodies of ore, as is horn by the large dumps of high | grade ore. To say the least, the de- vclopment of this claim shows a Val uable prospect and gives fattering promise for the future. The belief of the owners that 1t will develop into the most valua blc mine in the Territory is not unreasonably found ed. From this camp I wended my way over rough mountain ridge across the northeast fork of Castle Creek to what Is known as the old Silver Mountain trail, and thence across Thompson's stock range to what is known as Farley's Camp, on the Humbug Creek. This camp is situate d in the midst of a group of quartz lodes carrying free gold in I antics as shown by an actual test in an araslra sufficient 10 justify the erection of reduction works. Soric two or three of these claims show large veins, and twenty-stamp mill could easily be supplied with quartz that would pay we'll. I soon learned llat the irreprcssibie Colonel had also been there and flown before my arrival, but not before he had made business proposition to M, Farley and associates that is likely 70 culminaie in the purchase of a half interest in their claims and the erection oI twenty stamp quartz mill. This portion of Hupbug Creek has long been regarded by old as the only really valu-- ole gold region of Yavapai County. The establishment of reduction works there will be of great benefit to Yavapai County and would vastly increase the busiaess of Phpnix.

TOPEKA. Kas. Sept. 11.--There is new
movement on foot in Kansas to defeat st
John, the Republican candidate for gov
ernor. and it is said some of the best lead
ing Republicans in the state are at the
head of it. The plan contemplates the
withdrawal of G. W. Click and Chas. w
Robertson. the Democratic and Greenbacb
nominees, and through a delegate or mass
convention nominate some man upon whom
the entire opposition can unite. 4 joint
meeting of the Democratic and Greenback
state committees will meet Tuesday and a
committee of disaffected Republicans are
expected to be on hand TO see what can be
effected in the way of a grand combination
of the opposition forces. 1t is estimated
there are 10000 kicking Republicans who
will vote against ST. John, and these
united with 10000 Democrats, $4,000
Greenbackers and some 10000 anti-prohi-
bition Germans. united on an independent

Democratic Hcadeuartcrs.


WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE Democratic
headquarters look really poverty-stricken
in comparison with the regal quarters
occupied by the Republicans. Three or
four tables and few well worn chairs
comprise all the furniture. and instead of
counting money which government clerks,
janitors and scrub women have been
obliged to disgorge, Representative Thomp-
son and his two or three assistants are
engaged in mailing Bourbon campaign
documents to regions in need of
Democratic truths. The Republicans
occupy handsome edifce on Thirteenth
street fitted up in the most sumptuous
manner andi provided with every
luxury that may please the eye and
contribute to the comfort of the inmates
here the spoils of the Hubbell garroters
are counted and dispatched to the sections
of the country where Republican money
will do the most good. The contrast is
very distressing to the Democrats. who de-
nounce the Republicans the more cordially
whenever they behold what a profitable
source of revenue Republican infamy has
become.
