 About three hundred feet southeast from the present workings of the Total
 Wreck. another ledge, probably the same that enters the Red Rock claim and the same upon which work has been done has been opened to a depth of forty-hve feet, and is still being developed. The ore is high grade and abundant At twenty-five feet the average assays of five samples gave Sil. The pitch of this ledge leads to the belief that it will unite with the main ledge at greater depth and form an ore body of immense size.
 ECONOMICAL MANAGEMENT. Probably 10 mine in the Territory, at the same stage Of development, has re- vealed as much vealth as is now exposed to view, and the fortunate stockholders can congratulate thens Ives that this work has not only been done thoroughly and judiciously, but also economically. Money has not been wasted be- cause they were opening up al bonanza. The manager has given 1t the closest personal inspection and the benefit of years of business ex- perience. The practical underground workings of the mine have been under the directions Of Wnl. Shaw, and the work itself is q sufficient guarantee of his qualifications as a miner. The com pany now has upon its dumps between 4OO0 aud 5000 tons Of ore, enough, when milled, to pay all that has been expended in all the developments of the mine, with hoissing works, mill, wat r-works, office, lodging house, soore-room, stables and assay office, complete. This IS q matter upon which the stockholders are to be congratulated.
 If the same careful management char acterizes the future handling of this property, there IS no doubt but that it will head the list of Arizona dividend | paying mines.
 Without entering into further details, | it can be safely said that no moro prom ising or desirable mining property exists than that of the Total Wreck company. | Its reserves of ore already in sight are simply immense. and its possibilities of | undeveloped wealth are beyond compu- ! tatiOn. It is one Of the great mines of | the world, whose fame rests upOn it's ac- tual merits.
 TIE TOWN OF TOTAL WRECK
 At the base of the hill in which the | mine is located, tine town of Total Wreck . has been laid cut, and 1t Is now four ishing ard busy village, containing all | the necessary commercial concomitants with the usual industrial auxileries of an active town, and now has a pOpula- ton of some 300 people. t. L. Vail IS the active proprietor of the town, the major portion of which is on a mining claim owned by him. The surface ground IS proving bonanzu whether one is ever found below are not.
 OTHER MINES.
 The Empire District has a large num- Der of ciaims located, some of which will undoubtedly develop into valuable mines, bu. as yet little systematic de- velopment has been done outside of fine Total Wreck. The Justice and Man. moth group of mines gives great prom ise. These mines are owned by New York corporation which will push the work of development later in the season. Outside of the Total Wreck the New York mining company has done more work than any other. TJe writer visited their property but as the superintendent was absent we were refused admission to the mne. There was some very fine looking ore on the dump and we hope that the property will come up to the of its owners
 The Cross Is another claim which will be developed, we hope with the satisfactory results, which its proximity to the great bonanza leads its owners to expect. It has just been incorporated Tn this city under the the name of the Cross Mining Company, by Thomas Morgan, B. H. Hereford and c. c. Stephens.
 On future visit we hope to see more of the district and note further develop ments.
