 Jchn McKsy.-ThIs mIne, which IS sii
 uated in Empire district, is about thre miles southwest of the Total Wrecl
 Shaft No. Is down % feet, with a drif
 at the bottom along the foot wall 40 feel
 From this development about 200 ton
 of ore have been taken, giving an aver
 age assay Of s52 in silver, 621l per cen
 lead and 121z per centcopper. Selected samples have gwen as high as sl 100 pc ton in silver. Shaft No. ? is down 5l feet in the same kind of ore, the vein O which is from one to four feet in width There are four other openings on th' claim, all showing the same class ot ore The ledge is iron capped, which in places IS ten feet thick. In all there is about 200 feet of development work on the John Mckay, with 300 tons of ore on the dumps.
 Omega.-The prospects of starting up this mine and its smelter at an early day are good, so the principal owners have informed US. The mine is now in good shape, the witer supply abundant, and there exists no reason why long and suecessf''l suu 'ild not be made.
 Gunsight.-The management of this mine seem to be trying to get it in shape, and if successful, as 1t now looks as though they will be. the probabilities are that work will be resumed in the mIne and the mill started up during the coming fall
 Quijotoa district--This new district seems to be holding it's own. The LO- gan boys and others have surveyed town site on the east side of the moun- tains, and about 1000 feet from the mines, which they call Logan. They have three shifts of men at work sinking a well, and if there is such thing as having water they are going to have it. Mir. Roskruge, of this place, who did the surveying. informs us that the ouicrop of the mine is wonderful; that it does not seem to be blowout, as in the Sil- yer King, but a continuous lode, which extends through the mountain, showing the vein in solid formation as II goes down the slopes OF either side. Tucson is the natural shipping point for the new camp, which Is but a few miles from the road leading to Gunsight, with plenty of grass, wood and water along the line of the road. He also states that there is an abundance of wood and good grass near the mines. Water is The only element that seems to be lack ing, but it is believed that will now be overcome.
 GRAHAM COUNTY MINES.
 We take following summary of Gra- ham county mining news from the Cliff ton Clarion.
 Greenlee, Gold Mountain District This district IS rapidly coming to the 'ront. The hills are covered with pros- jectors who are making rich strikes and | beating claims in every direction.
 Ike Stevens has a party of men in Rocky Gulch doing assessment work on the Cimmaron, Wayne, Barbara, Old Stiff, Wedge and Greenhorn claims, which are reported to be very rich prop critics.
 Charles Stevens has made a new dis sovery in Rocky Gulch, near the Copper King mine. It's copper glance ore, the
 ' t-' - r--:-s~ at - the out-croppings assay well. He has located a claim on the new find, and eI- poets to commence developing it in few weeks.
 Work on the Olie mine, in Rocky Gulch, one of the properties of the Great Western Mining company, is progress ing iavorably. A shaft 70 feet deep has been sunk, and it will be continued 90 feet farther, making the shaft 100 feet deep, when drifting on the veln will be 
 Copper Mountain District.-This dis trict, which contains some of the prin- cipal mines now being worked in the vicinity of Clifton, is formed by an almost circular range of mountains, con- stitutlng the divide between Eagle creek and Rio Frisco river. This noun tain range is cut in two by narrow canyon, through which Chase creek has forced it's way, and this canyon forms the natural outlet for the mines of the whole district. The unparalleled rich ness, the purity of the ores, the facility with which they can be mined by simply tunneling and stoping, and the extent and number of the veins and unusual variety and tiuxing character of the ores, will all contribute in making this dis trict one of most successful and largest producers of copper in the United States in few years hence. The mines throughout the whole district are being rapidly and successfully developed, and the output of rich ores is increasing daily.
 YUMA coUSTE
 Some good copper prospects exist in the southeast corner of Yuma county. close to the Pima county line, and we learn parties with capital have concluded to take hold of them, with a view of de-
