The Silver District.

From Judge A. D. Crawford of Silent,
 who hvs been visiting Yuma this week
 many points were learned concerning the
 mining outlook in Silver district. Mir. I Crawfor1 is at present wsrking three
 mines, the Engineer, Emma and Silver
 Plume, with the most fattering prospects.
 The ore is what is known as galena and
 silver, and part of 1t runs from l50 to 300 ounces to the ton. The ledge is well
 defined one. and ranges from ten 10 thirty
 feet in width, and nearly Ill pay ing
 ore. The Red Cloud mlne is expected to
 commence operations again ln a few
 weeks, which will give quite an impetus to mining business in that ction. These
 mines ate al located in Silver district,
 aud should the prospects contInne as ia
 vorable as the present indications as-
 sume. mining boom will occur which
 will far exceed sby heretofore expert euced, and will make the district loom up in even greatrf value than any that has yet taken place. There is any quantity of good territory in this vicinity that would we'll repay the prospector. The only thing ueeued is enefgy. industry and perseverance, There aru dozt ms of mines in the Silver district which can be made to turn out bu.llon in equal quantities with the famous Clip mine. The gratify. ing results to the owners of that mine clearly demofstrate that mining In this vicinity can be made to pay and pay well. The output from this mine shows wLat good management can and will do, and Yuma county might jast as we'll have d dozen dr more mines producing similar quantity of ore.
 The principal trouble here Ofore has been the iack of knowledge hv persGns who nave gained control of inc mines: While a natter, tinsmith, shoemaker ot OhuCE hCCuoHiS Ill., oC ai CAS'"'ioHt [ workman or business man in his own profession, nine times out of ten he las 1 no more chance to develop the resources of mine than cat would latg in Hades | without claws. What Is needed is a practical man for superintendent. one who knows from experience what to do, and how and when to do it. There has | been enough capital invested in the mines of Yuma, which, if it lad beeu jud ciously employed, would have made the mines of |, Yuma county known all the world over, and made thls town mining center sec ond to none in the Territory. If the cap- italists who invest in our mines wculd take some practical riner acquainted with the nature of tue ground and ore he 's working. instead of being compelled 10 paving assessments they woulI find their returns mo;e favorable on the other side Of the ledger.
 It is to be hoped a new era IS about % dawn upon our mining interests, and once more Yuma will not only become good business and shipping csnter, but also assume the position of mining depot which justly belongs to the town.

Attention is called to the notice in an other column of th.

When Coles cifc;Is arrived in town last
 Tuesday morning the troupe of Arab ath- letes started out fur stroll around town After looking at the depot hotel for q
 while they meandered up the railroad track. Suddenly they broke for the hills and the timber on the Gila river. The circus men had to procure the service of several vaqueros in order 10 corral the
 wandering sons of the desert. After con- siderable trouble they were induced 10 return and perform i'll the afternoon. They demanded of the manager, however, q body guard while they remained Tn town, which was granted them and ten sialwart canvass men did guard duty. It appears that some ore had told them of the fate Of some of their countrymen who passed through here recently, and think. ing Il sinilar fate awaited them in much dreaded Yuma, it was but natural for Coles desert nonllds to become frantic with fear and immediately to break for a hiding place.
