:. ! The Omega cPper mine and smelter - which has bea shut down for som , time past vii lstart up at once. Th' ' Esperanza mi SO We are informed i ] fast spproachlg completion and vii , begin on ore from their own mines [ We also learn nat there is probsbilit, of the old brmOss mill starting 1T again on ore pm neighboring mines quite large mount of which lies ready on the dumps It is said the Hardshel alone has enogh ore on the dumps tc ! keep the milkoing six months. The Hermsa plant is one of the best in the ca- ytf, and 1t would be a very wise al ne owners to start it up on
 custom worl if they have not the ore in
 thelr ,wn lines to keep the mill going. Couidt ible ore is being shipped
 from Hsrssw to Benson, and we learn the prossets are good for increasing
 the busiess. The Alta, the Blue Nose,
 the Aurican, the old Mowry, the h. dependece and a number of other
 mines irhat locality which carry low
 grade ld ores might be worked with
 profit, fine owners of them would only
 go 10 wG with view of working them
 for whs they are worth, instead of
 holding hem and trying to sell them
 for highgures.
 | Ore iDnsiderable quantities is also
 being shped to the Benson smelter from thiwest side of the Patagonia mountai and east side of the Santa Ritas, amin most instances with satis- factory rults.
 As wthave before stated in these columns, is our belief that there are great ma mines in Arizona which can be work tn profit, if the ore was ex- trated ansent to the nearest and most advantagus point for reduction, in- stead of ting to have a mill or smelter built for ch prospect that shows up ore in g quanty. Miners may say that ty are too poor to do anying in the way of developIr mines and extracting ore, but the fts do not bear ont the asser- ton. If prospector has mine in req sonable otance of a railroad, he can make moy and develop his mine on $40 or Sores, and most prospectors will tell y their ore is of much higher grade thu above figures. There are, however, captions to this rule, as in case of relliOus ores; but even these may be orcome to some extent by mixing wi other ores. If prospectors have whatey claim, there IS no reason for layinaround towns and mining camps wang for something to turn up. If they ha not what they claim, then the best Ing they can do is to throw it up, for the ime has passed in Arizona for sel.ingEorthless mining locations. Miners lee claims in Colorado and work themr a certain per cent of the net process and make money out of them. Butn Arizona every man can have a niunI location of his own, and work i for slthere Is in it if he so de- sires. Get a.w dollars worth of pro- visions, take our old tools and go to wOk on you best mines. Find out whsther theris ore in your mine that will pay to Ike out and ship to the nearest redItlon works. If you have ore that will ay, work it; ir it will not pay, quit it, Id try another one, or go to work ionhe next man who has mine that VI pay. Don't spend any more time trng to sell prospects; you can't do it. ou must go to work and show up somhing first. A little pile of ore on the dnp will no longer sell prospect, so ou might as well ship 1t and get youmoney for 1t, and then go l to work andike out more, and keep at it us long it will pay. By and by | your prospemay develop into a mine, and make II rich; but it never will | develoe into. mine unless you sink on it, that is ssd certainty"
 Silver Bellistrict \. Fish was out to this strict last week looking | after the asssment work on some of his copper pperties Tn the neighbor- hood of the d Boot mine. He informs us that theye showing up well and that he stills faith in that district and believes tn the mines will yet be worked witbrofit. Like hundreds of other localis In Arizona, Silver Bell has received black eye through bad management and incompetency. The idea of serng man out from the East on a siry of Sl0,c00 a year, who never saw rsteriscket furnace and had to ask thesboring men around the camp what wasl That is the kind of superintennt who closed down the Pelton smers. There is not the least doubt but ns district will come up | again. Tbe are number of copper mines therhat will pay and it is only | a question time when they will be worked.
