discovery, the boom and the abandon meut of the mlu1ng districts has becu common. White Pine, BOdie and Silver City are notable instances in quartz mining. while the number of placer mines which have been discovered abandoned and afterwards relocated and successfully worked, are legion. Just now Pima county IS undergoing n vivifying in old districts, some of which, in their day, enjoyed quite a boom.
 HARsHAw DISTRICT,
 Which a few years ago was much talked about, several hundred thousand dollars in bullion extracted and number of claims changed hands at good, round prices, but which for the past year or two has been almost depopulated, IS again coming to the front with good prospects.
 Ben Butler mine.-This mine Is what what was formerly known as the Alta, and was sold to eastern parties some years ago and subsequently abandoned. IL has been relocated by Doc Luttrell, who has sold part of 1t to men of capital, who now have about 50 men at work in the mine. Holstlng works have been erected and the water has been pumped out. The main shat, which Is down from l6O to lSO feet in | good ore, has been timbered up and put ID good working order, and IS now being sunk deeper. A number of men are at work on the upper levels extracting | good paying ore, which IS being shipped | 10 the Benson smelter for reduction, and the owners are now satisfied that they have a paying property, which will be- come more valuable as It IS developed. | Home Again, winch is also an old mine, and was formerly known as the Bean Nose, has been relocated by | Harry Clay, who has succeeded in de- | veloping a fine body of ore, winch IS also beng shipped to the Benson shelter for reduction. Mr. Clay has a number of men at work on Home Again, and his old friends will be glad to hear that he is meeting with success. Some | beautiful ruby silver ore has been str1ok in this mine, assaying as high as $500 per ton.
 Regular shipments are also beng made from the old Scott mine ln this district; we regret that we have not the data at hand to give the extens of developments. and the amount of ore being extracted, but we learn from re- liable source that 1t Is paying well.
 Stockton and Lighter are also taking out some very fine smelling ore from their mine on the west side of the Pata- gOnia mountain.
 There are from 75 to 100 men in Har- shaw and the population Is increasing. There are three saloons and a store IS soon to be opened, so that it looks very much as though the old camp will come out all right yet. h addition to the mines that are now being worked in this district, there are many others that might be made to pay, if Tn the right hands. We are glad to see the boys-the old timers who first went there years ago, take hold, for they above all others are the ones who should and we trust will bring the camp out. They have now started in the right way; they are working the mines for what there is in them, and are not trying to sell at fabulous prices. Legitimate mining can, and We believe will be car ried on in Harshaw, and we are ot the impression that young Luttrell, Clay, Stockton and Lighter are the kind of men who will do it.
 FINAL AND CHA COUNTIES.
 The drift in the north incline on the Specie Paying. has been extended SIX feet this week, and IS all in ore or excel lent grade. The north end tunnel has been extended twenty feet beyond the connection with the incline and shows improvement in grade of the ore. The Eay streak is trending toward the foot wall, now. Heretofore 1t has followed the hanging-walL
 If satisfactory arrangements can be made with the Jessie Benton company and the gentlemen who hold the com | panys mil under attachment. NIT. D. | T. Elmore will lease the latter, and run 1t on ore from the Lone Will and By | Chance. In this way he will be able tO determine positively whether the ore from the mines can be milled at a profit and whether or not the yield of ore will be sufficient to justify the company ID | erecting expensive works.
 Alex. Wolyerton, in sinking an assess ment shaft on claim near the Joseph inc, Mineral Hill district, struck pay | hs per ton m silver and 70 per cent copper The vein in which this rich ore occurs is over three feet wide and in sinking ten feet Alex. took out ten barley sacks full of that very rich rock.
 Monarch of the Sea.-The mine is | looking well. The two compartment vertical shaft is down 1l5 ft and s yield ing good ore. The work of sinking is progressing with all speed possible with the present facilities for hoisting the ore and water. The company have ordered steam hOisting works which are on the way here. The company's road from the mine down to Silver King has been rebuilt and is better than 1t was before the washout. There are twenty-five men at work on the mine and more will be employed as soon as they shall be needed. The Monarch of the Sea IS one of our coming properties.
 Messrs. Walker S Brady shipped to Benson, from the Vekol, this week, 2j tons of ore which averaged, at the smelter. 33I ounces in silver per ton and Ij per cent. lead. This ore, together with about 2j0 tons of second grade ore averaging SiO per ton in silver. was taken out of the Nekol during the past five weeks.-Enterprise.
 The Red Rover Is still "the town | talk" the big strike Is pronounced as unexcelled in present development by any other prospect yet discovered in | Globe district. We have seen ore from it almost malleable silver. The lessees, Lidolph and Denhart will have secured a fortune before the expiration of their lease, which has some weeks to rUn, providing the present showing con- tinues. The owners, Eaton, Pascoe and Hayse are well pleased that their les5ees have been so fortunate as to have struck 1t rich" Both native and horn silver IS found in the ledge.-Silver Belt.
 CoCHIsE COUNTY.
 The ore output for this week has ex- ceeded that of many week sprevious, and is still on the increase, chloriding being resumed on quite large number of claims that have lain idle for a long time.
 Bob Iugersoll:-Since the 18th of this month two leases have been granted on this property, and work with good re- suit IS being done st present. No ore has been shipped yet, but the les-ees expect soon to ship a carload of high grade ore 10 Benson.
 Vizina:--A thorough survey of tbe underground workings of this mlne Is
 being made, probably to ascertain whether the lotely reported strike is on their ground or moi. The survey will be completed in few days when wC r will be able to give our readers some
 more definite news about the mine. , Rsndolph:-The old 150 foot shaf . has been timbered up all anew, and l. l. now one of the finest timbered shafts II
