HARsHAw, Oct. 2L.
 ED. CITIzES:-This camp is undergo ing a dull spell at present, although there is considerable work being done in a quiet way.
 The Home Again Mining Company are going along as usual; they are working twenty-one men; their main shaft is down one hundred and thirty feet. At depth of one hundred and fifty feet they are going to drift to the ledge, in the shaft; they are working three shifts of men, eight hours each shift, and in the mine two shifts of ten hours each. They are now shipping their o:e to Denver, Colorado, and al- though they are doing so much dead work their shipments paid all their ex- penses and a dividend last month. Mir. Morgan T. Davis has purchased Thomas Stearn's interest in the mine, and is now the lucky owner of two-tenths and TO one envIes him, as he has helped more than one poor prOspee.or since he realized from this mIne.
 Judge +. Harrison, of La NOTia, is running the boarding house at tie mine. About two months ago a saloon known es the Pigs Ear" was started Rt the mine and about two weeks ago another was opened, and is known as the other ear of the pig-probably the tail will soon follow.
 The parties on the old Trench have shipped another eighteen car load of ore. This time to Denver, Col.
 Messrs. Harrington S Gillespie have struck a fine ledge of gBlena m their Humboldt mine, near the Old Trench.
 F. A. Lamont has completed the as- sessment work for Messrs. Rusher k Best at the Mowr,, and is now doing the assessment work on the Hardshell mines, for F. R. Richardson.
 At Washington Camp everybody seems to be busy. The popular and efficient Postmaster. David Allen, does not wholly rely on the emoluments of the office for his support, but k working the Ohio mine tO good advantage. concentrates the ores, and IS having 6 car load hauled to Crittenden ready for ship ment.
 Messrs. Hensley & Cole are extracting ores from the Louisa and Estelle mines and are going to concentrate 1t before shipping.
 Joseph McClone is extracting ore from the Lone Star for Tombstone parties.
 Olsen $ Neville have shipped 6 car load of concentrations to Denver, Col.
 Cosgrove < Crowley are taking out ore from the Wide West, near the Old Belmont, and have q team hauling steadily to Crittenden.
 Taylor & Ohspin have shipped car lOard of concentrations to Denver and are waiting results.
 Chepin x Neville have now con- menced work on the Empire.
 Fred Mokla. has leased the Belmont from parties m San Francisco.
 l. II. Moklar and Fred Hesse are also taking some fine ore.
 Colonel 4. NJ. Childs IS taking a rest, enjoying the proceeds of his last ship ment.
 The concentrating of ore in this camp Is done by small iiggers introduced by Mir. c. II. Taylor ID April last, there be ing five m use at the present time, usual l ly running through three tons per day | to each jigger, and concentrating three | tons of ore into one. The introduction | of this cheap process will do much | toward the development of these mines | as the ores are principally of low grade | and cost from seven to ten dollars per | ton to haul from the mines 10 Crittenden. I
 At the Mowry, Warren Allison and | George Allison have built large corral | and repaired the house on their old | homestead.
 w. NJ. Roberts and Frank Olsen have commenced to sink a shaft on their HIll mine. This mine is known as the ] Old Olive, and was worked twentY-four years ago and the ore worked m the old | Mowry furnace, with good results.
 Capt. LebO and forty colOred troops | of company K, 10th Cavalry, are still in camp at the Mowry.
 Messrs. Farrell, Lyons and McNulty | have commenced work on the Mofiat | mine near the MowTy hill.
 One by one the old prOspectors are | laid away to rest. Mathew Croaker, | who died at the Mowry on the sixteenth of last mOnth,, was well known Tn AriZO- ma and in fact all over the Pacific Coast. The deceased was born m Bristol, Maine, on March 4th, 1915, and left hIs home n IS40, end went south m lS47. He left | there and went to California and has since been mining and prospecting | through the Pacific states and territories up to the time of his death. During | these forty-fiye long years he kept up a regular correspondence with his sister, Mrs. Mary c. WoOdman. at Camden, Maine, whom he used tO often speak of with kind affection; and be II said Of him that for honesty and integrity ne l. had few equals, and unlike most men who lead such rough life, he contract ed no bad habits, not even the use of profsne language. At the time of his death he left a valuable mining prop erty in Bisbee. A. E.
