l done on Eagle creek and Blue river, Tn Apache county during the past month,
 with fair results.
 Prospecting Is more active in Pima
 county than it has been for some time,
 and considerable development work has
 been done in Gro Blanco district and on
 the north slope of the Santa Ritas, near
 the Omega copper mines, with rather | promising results.
 PIMA COUNTY. Rupert mine-This mine, which is
 situated in WrightsOn district, IS being worked with a small force of men. The main shaft Is down 100 feet, where wa ter was encountered, and for the pres | ent, further sinking has ceased. A drift Is being run on the ledge at a | depth of % feet, from which ore of good | quality IS being ralsed, and number of tons, which 1t IS said assay from SlO0 to S2OO per ton, bas been shipped to the Benson smelter.
 Gringo mine.-This mine IS a gold mine, in the same district. 4 shaft has been sunk to a debth of 100 feet. The ledge IS well defined and shows large body of free milling ore, which the own- CTS claim will pay well.
 Star mine.-1his mine Is one of the oldest locations in Wrighton district: the Rupert, which Is better developed, Is an extension of the Star. A shaft is down on the mine some 40 feet, shows ore similar to that found in the Rupert; the ore vein is about one foot wide.
 Mansfield mine.-This mine, together with the Star, Surprise, Brag and Orien- tai, belong to an eastern company who have announced that work will be con- menced on the entire group at an early date. A shaft has been sunk on the Mansfield to a deph of 90 feet and crosscut run, showing a 15 foot ledge of low grade ore. The remaining mines of this group have pushed shafts varying from ten to thirty feet in depth, showing more or less ore.
 Bullion mine.-The Bullion has shaft down 70 feet; the ledge looks well and carries abut four feet of ore similar to that found in the Mansfield.
 The Emma is down about % feet. showing Q well defined ledge, four and half feet wide, with some two feet of low grade ore. The prospects in this camp, while they are not rich, may, up on development, prove to be very fair mines; but those who own them will be compelled to show them up before they can expect to realize the prices at which they are held.
 MoHAvE COUNTY MINES.
 We are indebted to the Mohave Coun- ty Miner for the following mining items from that county:
 A. c. Springer, superintendent of the Cupel mine, has had a wagon road built from the mine to Dove Springs for the | purpose procuring water for use at the l mine. The road was finished last night. !
 Johnny Kennedy and P. Hach have struck water Tn their shaft on the Black | Warrior mine at Stockton.
 The tunnel on the Eva mine at Stock ton is now in seventy-fve feet and IS | close to the ledge.
 c. E. Sherman and Anson H. Smith x | Co. will have two or three tons of ore | from their new find sampled at the Key | stone mill during the coming week. | This is free milling ore, and the mine being only half a mile from the mill, it | can be worked there to better advantage | than by shipping it.
 The cam shaft in mill of the Indian | Queen mining company at Blackberry | broke last Sunday morning, and the mill | had to shut down until Tuesday in con- sequence.
 Stephen Smith is hard at work on his claims near Sherum's peak and taking | out quite lot of ore.
 Erin Sherman and H. H. Partridge | have a fOur-foot streak of galena ore on | their clam near Chloride.
 Work Is being vigorously prosecuted on the New London mine near Cerbat. Two carloads of the ore will be shippel to the Gran Quivera smelling works at once.
 We understand that the Keystone mill will start up some time during the com ing week. There is no reason in the world why this mill should not be run ming all the year round, for there is ore enough in the Keystone mIne alone to keep it running, and ore that will pay well, too. We want to see fifty or hun dred men put at work on that mine.
 APACHE COUNTY.
 Mir. Radenburg, one of the prospect ors who went to Eagle creek country about a month ago, returned to Clifton this week with bag of specimens which have been left at the Arizona assay of flee. At point about 30 miles north by west of Clifton, and half way between Eagle creek and Blue river his party located a number of claims, tine ore from which is sulphurets and carries gold that can be seen with the naked eye.
 Ramon Peres made & discovery of galena ore a couple of weeks ago which gives promise of becoming in time a bullion producing silver mine. The claim IS half mile south of the Detroit Copper mines. The cropplngs are well defined and can be traced for long distance. A shaft was sunk on the yeln six feet in depth, an assay of the ore go- ing 40 ounces silver. The vein which ss narrow on top promises to widen as depth is attaIned.I Clifton Clarion.
 YAvAPAI COUNTY.
 From the Journal We learn that the United Verde Copper Company has its water pipe laid through the canyon to the side on which the mines are located, and were to have been completed to the mines last Saturday. The company will then have put in over two miles of pipe to convey the water to their property. They have also built nine miles of road over a mountain grade, which has cost them over s25.OOO. The furnace and other machinery for working the mine and for the reduction of ore are all on the ground and will be erected as rapid ly as possible. It is expected that they will have their smelter in operation on or before the 1st of August. Two hun dred and fifty tons of coke have been ordered, and is now arriving, eight teams having arrived there yesterday. The furnace or shelter will be erected in front of the Eureka and Hampton mines, the ones which the company are princlp-
