A Good Outlook From Recent Develop. ments.
 A Qliiotoa correspondent of the San Francisco Daily Exchange gives the following interesting mining news:
 George Ames has been paying the | QmlOtuas a visit on mere business proposition, the purpose of which was to examine the ground and give specif- cations for the construction of a large | trGmway, and also all other works per ! tblning to the ultimate use of Burleigh drills in the development of the mines.
 l.. ID. Chillson has been surveying a 1 townsite and millsIte on the Bullion property, as also the mine of that name. where work is to be pushed right ahead | at no distant day, as soon as the neces- s2ry arrangements can be perfected in Philadelphia, where the company has been organized.
 The Silver Bullion is one of the many properties, outside 0f the Bonanzas, which will prove valuable, however rich the latter may be. Many more will so prove after fair test and a methOdical mode of development, as will eventual ly be the case on the Josh Billings and Cholla lodes, the very location of which IS sure guarantee of their value
 The Josh Billings lode runs through the mine of that name, and also through the Wadsworth. The latter Is situated directly west of the ChOlla and Wedge, ana east Of the Toughnut, which latter is small claim wedged in between the Edm0orD and Beckwith, tine Wads worth and the Josh Billings. This last claim ls situated east of the Beckwith nd west Of the Emerald, whichis singulsrly
 coated between two silver veins, and considered by some as very promising vein Of copper ore; but, judging from its location in the midst of silver mines, placed there as by a strange freak of nature. It IS confidently expected by many that 1t will turn into a very rich silver mile-lOse its copper, and accord ingly improve ID silver as more depth is attained.
 The other main lode of the Quijotoa mountain IS the ChOlla, west of the Peerless lode, which latter seems to run parallel to 1t from point east of the Mineral Bed on the north end to the Big Sunilower on the south. The Cholla lode cuts, at its nortb end, through the Locomotive ground, Casa Grande Chief, and Big Indian, and follows a parallel course to the Peerless lode through the Cliff, ChOlla, Wedge, Combination and Accidental mines.
 The Accidental, it is understood, has been incorporated by San Francisco parties, who are soon to commence work for the development of that highly promising property.
 The Combination, with the Josh Bill hngs, forms tLe company of that name, while the Cliff, Cholia and Wedge, as also tae Wadsworth, of the Josh Bill lIngs lode, Ere incorporated by Flood ana Mackay in the Weldon mining con- pany.
 On each and every one of the claims composing the ChOlla lode, namely, the Chff. Cho.la, Wedge, Combination and Accidental, running nor b and south along the western slope of the mOun- tam. fine ore IS taken out. The outcrOp Of the ledge, from the northwest end to e point about 6JO feet south of the Acci- dental mine, is regular and strong. From a surface examination It seems to vary from fOur to seven feet in width, and at Q place toward the south end, where cur has been run and fine ore extracted, the vein IS five feet wide, giving an as- say of .3i6 JS iu silver to the ton, and not as yet gone through the vein, d. though the cut is iE lj feet. The lode. the entire length from the beginning at the northwest end of the point above referred to, namely, 6OO feet south of the Accidental, IS continuous.
 Anywhere along the outcrOp ore can be broken off that will go from $50 to S5,uUO IB silver.
 The Cliff and Cholla locations are directly west of the Peerless claim, and join the Nadsworth at the latter's east ern line, as does also the Wedge. The Combination E-d Accidental are south of the ChOlla and west of he CTOcker, Mountain Daisy and Combination No. l; the two latter showing a continual ton of that strong formation which IS the most striking feature Of the Peer less lode.
 Future developments may prove that, at that southern point, these three great strong lOdes-namely, the Peerless, Cholla and Emerald-unite and con centrGte together in the shape of half moon, of which the Peerless and CEocker are the central figures with the Peer, Locomotive and Mineral Bed at the north end, and that portion south of the Murray and Peacock forming the southern end of the half circle.
 As only small amount of work is done on that portion of the mOuntaiu 1t is impossible !o give the accurate width of the vein at the place where these lodes mite, but from surface indications it is safe to figure it at DO less than from five to eIght feet.
