Pima County Mines.

A correspondent of the San Francesca Daily Exchange, gives the following news concerning the present mining outlook in the vicinity of the Quijotoas
 Almost every other day we get news of some new strike in that section be- tween Quiotoa and the Papago Chief (known as the covered Wells) section and covering an area of ten miles.
 We are now III receipt of a chunk Of ore from q newly discovered ledge small ln width but rich in proportion. Although It is only two inches wide II is nearly pure silver, averaging SIP a pound. It was located by D. Stout, who already possesses d very fine property called the High Peak, from which be has extracted 90 tons of extremely rich ore now lying on the dump ready for shipment or awaiting the reduction wOrks-the erection Of which at the Covered Wells is now much talked of.
 Tho PapRgO Chief k also a very rich property. It has great water facilities and bright future before it. Captain A. Weeks is the genlal superintendent and resident manager. He reports everything very favorable; expects to put q OA AA4EL At hOAh FO0us and predicts the erection of several stamps ID his section m the near future.
 The country about the Papago Chief and Covered Wells shows a formation throughout of granite scanned with small veins of very rich ore, some of which are nearly pure silver. as shown in D. Stout's property, and also the Sil- yer Bullion, now incorporated Tn Phila- delphia, and others assaying into the hundreds and thousands, us Is the case in the Bonanza, Hattie, Rusty. Quiiotoa Chief. LIttle Chief, Silver Maid, High Peak and a score of others. all showing chloride rlcl; heavily mine ralized. It Is n wonderfully rich mineral deposit, eX- tending over ten mil,s and consisting of many small veins all concentrating and eliminating Tn the grand Quijotra mountain, which proves 1t to be the mother lode and feeder of all those rich lodges and veins. That fact alone. cou- pied with its own strong and well de- fined formation. k sure guaranty of a true Assure vein and permanency of ore bodies.
 A new incorpor .tion has taken place here, namely. the Edinburgh Mining Company, with a capital sto, k of Sl0,- 0O0O0O. 1t IS intended to start develop ment at once. The Edinburgh Is q promising property, lying three miles in a northerly direction from the Bonanza group, showing a solid ledge of ore com posed of sulphides, gray csrbonates and horn silver, runnIDg Sl1j per ton.
 Three more claims are in course of incorporation, namely, Little Chant Pima and Arlie, all in the hands oF good. miners. men of wealth and influence. whose object IS to work their properties for all they are worth. At the rate QuijotOa properties are now dis l posed of, It is safe to predict that in the | course of six months 20 new incorpora- tions will have been made, all in course 1 of development, which fact wlll bring l money into the country, revive business. | give a new impetus to all inning mat 1 rers, from all of which Tucson will de- | rive the greatest benefit, as that is the | most available place for shipping | point. Its people are already awake t0 | the fact and are getting everything m | readiness in order to secure the lively l trade which will certainly spnug up.
