 Messrs. Welbourn, Jackson and Coon re- turned on Wednesday from a prospecting trip to the big bend of the Colorado. They made six locations and report lodges of fab uIous width and extent, cOa5 .ininy gDIi, silver and copper. They went back last Friday for the purpose of taking up more claims and forming another district. The two Frue concentrators, pumps and machinery connected herewith have been removed from Welton & Grouds' mill and taken to the mill at Grass Springs where they will be set to work on gold ore. The Grass. Springs mill will start up at once under the management of E. l.. Mercy and will run principally on ore from the Ell Dorado mine.
 This issue of the MINER Is printed on paper obtained from Messrs. Kerstens and Peters, wholesale paper dealers of Denver, Colorado, The freight from Denver to Peach Springs was S2.75 per 100 pounds and the paper came through in sixteen days. This is an improvement over the old way of getting things from San Francisco and having them lie at Yuma four or five months. Chamberlain & Co.,, owners Of the samp. ling works at Kingman, on the A. & r. rail road, gre stacking up ore as fast as the miners can deliver it. This ore will be shipped to Denver for treatment. and will pass through Albuquerque just as though there were no city here. Our merchants are pretty sure of the trade coming from these Arizona mining camps, and there IS no reasou why Albuquerque should not re- ceive the benefit of the large and rich min eral discovered there. If Colorado parties can afford to ship the ore l,GO0 miles and realize profit, surely Albuquerque ought to make money out of the same mineral when they are less than 5G0 miles away AIbuuuerous Democrat,
