 From Mir. c. Loss, superintendent of the Golden Wes; Mining Company, the following mining items from the Casa Grande miniag district are ob- tained.
 MT. Loss has been instructed by his company to receive proposals for T5,- 900 feet of lumber and timber for the erection of a mill at the Golden West mine, in the Bitterwell mountains, south of the Vekol. A ten stamp mlll is to be erected and the plant has been ordered:
 The mine has ebsen cross-cut for thirty-six feet thronsh ore, and the wall has rst yet beer reached. Last month l50 feet of work was done and ths average ad the ofe sas,pled $22 per ton in gold. A sample of sixty tons gave sl5, i {flttg to9s went $57 in gold and be ween GO and 70 ounces in sil- yer Inc outlook for this grand mine is yery Ds5mising MT. Chris. John son j. the foreman and he is pushing tfse development work with commed- able vigor.
 The Ella mining company, owning the properties recently held by the Monarch company, is about to erect a sixty stamp mill. Supt J. A. Con- lee and one of the directors will arrive from the east next week to superin- tend it's erection. The outlook for this property is at present very encourag- ing.
 The Great Eastern mine, owned by Howell Kinds and L. D. Chillson, on the Vekol lode, has developed and eight-foot vein in place, of very rich ore and the value of the property has thereby been greatly increased.
 The Vekol mill is to start up at once on ore from Argosy claim belonging to the Messrs. Walker, and good long run is expected to be made. The ore from the Argosy is of excellent grade and promises we'll
 The Jack Rabbit mine, owned by MT. W. c. Smith, has carload of ore out that will net $5,000 A shipment of three carloads of this character of will be made shortly.
 The Central Silver in the east drift from the shaft has made a cross-cut showing fifteen feet of ore. The west drift, at one hundred feet from the shaft, shows nine feet of ore by cross cutting. This is on the 200-leyel The shaft is down 235 feet and sink ing is still in progress.
 The outlook for the district in which the above properties are located was never brighter than at the present time and they are likely to give ex- cellent returns as bullion producers when the mills are set in motion.

Anoostru as t,,a R,on,,snh.

The origin of the great proboscidian faco in general, end of the mammoth and elephant group In particular, like the early history of Jeasnes de Ia Pluche, is ''wrop in obscurhy." All we can say about them with any confidence Is thst they form comparatively lete order of mammals, whose earliest ,scognizahle representative in geolog. osA time is the monstrous deinotherir,ln, an aquatic cni
 nal with a long trunk and with two i'm meRse curved tusks, projecting down ward paredoxically from his lower instead of his upper jaw. The deinotheTiurn makes his first appearance upon this CT any other stage In ths Iniocene period; but as he couldn't, of course, have ap
 PeGred there Qilze AphrodiSs and Topsy1 without sny parents, and sS he was then already fairly specialized and highly developed animal, we must take 1t for granted that his earlier ancestry, though anclent and respectable In it's own tina, had long passed away, leaving not wraek behind, so far as yet known, in the matter of tangible geological vouchers.
 These unknown ancestors, in all probs- bility, gave birth during their earlier and more plastic stage-fo- species, like indi- viduGls, ore most readily Iuolded in their green youth-to three main family branches. The senior branch produced the deinotherium, vast brute, who, find ing the world too full to hold him, about the close of the tertiary period, degaisod suddenly without issue, leaving the hono-s of the family in subsequent ages to the junior members. The second branch pro duced the nlastodons-hugo creatures of elephantie outline end majestic tread. most of them with tusls both in the upper and lower jaws, though the under pair were always the smallest. The third branch produced the true elephants, in ciuding both our modern Indian and Afr can species, as well as the mammoth him self, and many other extinct congensrS. All the elephants proper have but one solitary pair of tusls, and that pair is quito correctly located in the epper jaw instead of the under one. Thus is evolu tion justified of all her children The true elephants made their first appear ance, so far es known, in the Plocens period, that is to say, the csoch imnedi- ately preceding the Great Ice age in Eu- rope and Aneriea They blossoned cut at once, with afl the usual inpetuosity of youth, into an alarming number of dis efnct spsctes.-Cornhill Magazine.
