This property has been un- der location by different parties since the early days of Walker district, and ore was shipped at q profit by owners when freights Were enormous and before this section had the advantage of railroad facilities Since the erection and com- pletion of the sampling works at Pres colt the mine has been under lease, and the lessee has realized enormous profits upon his lease. The owners of said mine, the lease having expired, have now en- gagged force of practical miners to con- tlnue work on the same.

hassayampa River Country.

The following concerning the Hassa- yampa river country is contributed by O correspondent:
 The Hassayampa River rises in the mountains about 12 miles southeasterly from Prescott, and flows from thence southwesterly and southerly to the plains west of the Verde and Salt rivers Lynx creek rises on the other side of the same mountain, and flows northeasierly to the Agua Fria The Hassayampa is a great placer gold producer from its head waters to where 1t sinks in the plains. Above its upper canyon, (where the justly celebrated Howard mine is situated) many miners have for V ars made good wages, picking and shovel ing the gravel into sluice boxes. when there was water At the foot of the up- per canyon are the Gro Fino Mining Co.'S works, and practical hydraulic mining profitably carried on.

Callen cold Grizzly'O, whom we regret not having met while visiting the vicinity of his mining operations, as he was at the time down to Tule creek and Tip Top country, for he has probably done as much for Arizona as any man ill the territory; has expended large amount of money and many years of toll and hardship in assisting to develop its re- sources; Is respected everywhere, even by his enemies and the oldest inhabit- ants and boys nearly all "swear by him" |" He has beautiful camp running, at Juniper Spring, near Arastra creek, with MT. Jesse Jones as asmanager, and Is work ing both quartz and placers, and it would seem profitably. The night the JOURNAL MINER representative stayed at the camp 2 ounces of placer gold was brought in by six men as the result of their days work. His main camp is on Carbonate gulch where he Is working various mines and double shift on his Silver Queen mine, on the dump of which is many tons of very rich-looking ore and pieces that We were unable to lift This mine is the only prominent silver mine as yet developed in Walnut grove district, and it bids fair to become competitor of the celebrated Silver King At the head of CoOlavajO gulch is constructed an exten- sive water storage dam, built by Messrs.

Malpais and Souaw Peak.

The first oi the above districts is con- parativcly new, the principal mine at present being worked in 1t arc Inc Wire gold mine and adjoining claims. It is about l5 miles south of Chc " creek, and Is evidently in the same mineral belt The district derives .;> name from the malpai, rock which cov- CTS the whole country surrounding. This mine was discovered in Noyem Ter, 1885, by A. l.. MckessOn, one of is present owners Rich float had wasted from the ledge, and was found in a gulch coming down from the letge. Some ot this float was very rich, sl, ,w- inging plenty of free gold. Work Was begun on this mine soon after aud "a> kept up almost continuously for c Sh- teen months The highest point on , the ledge was selected as the place of the first operations, and here tunnel was driven in l50 feet on the lei-e, showing ore the entire distance. lwo hundred feet north a second tunnel was driven in for the purpose ol testing 'he
 ledge at this point, and also of get !ng an advantage If possible to work the ore down. At 90 feet here the ledge
 was found larger than before, being in
 places three feet. This was followed 36 feet, and some rich ore taken out. Other work has been done at different
 points on the ledge; one tunnel 4J feet

OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVESTMENT.

Our space this issue is very largely devoted to description of the mineral wealth abounding in Yavapai county. But while it crowds the limited space of the paper it can in no sense be called an exhausted review, as some of the districts possessing properties we'll opened up are but briefly treated. and many of tie best properties. to which could be de voted 6 lengthy article. are only given a passing notice. It would be impossible 10 do justice to the mining interests Of this section in . newspaper article as history of them carefully and impartlally compiled would fill a volume, while many of the actual facts in connection with mining m this section would read
 ';-- fiction than truth.
 ,ough is told, however, in these col unns. 10 convince the most skeptical of the untold wealth of our mining re- sources, and there was never a time Tn the history of the territory so suspicious for the investment of capi.al in minin . as as the present time. One of the bes; evidences of this Is the fact, as stat, Il in our descriptive article. that during the past few months. three gentlemen, whose combined wealth would aggre- g,te. some Sso.oeo,soo, have become identified with the mining interests here. There are openings still left as gooi d any yet taken. and investments made wRh the same discretion and good jl l!- ment as would be exercised Tn other callings would bring m large returns. Mines and mills, operated by mnins men, on a legitimate business basis havc n every instance yielded good returns. The failures, what few there have been, and will not number more than any other mining country, have been due either to dishonest stock jobblng specn- lators, (thank Heaven We have had iew of them in this section> or to propefties purchased by men who had no pratt cal idea of mining. and who placed them in charge of men of similar mining abIi- ity.
 An honest investigation of our mining resources by parties desiring oportuni- tics for investment, is earnestly made and they find will that representations made in this paper undertakes, rather than overrates them.

An English Estimate of Cleveland

As we write there ia before us copy
Of the LonGon Standard, in which we find
an article on Cleveland's so-called Retail
alton Message, that shows how thorough
" the Free Trade candidate is understood
in England The Standard says in so
many words that the message is pure
buncombe, at which England can afford
to laugh. 1T is as manifest as the sun at
MONDAY" says the Standard, THAT Presi-
dent Cleveland, in the tone he has adopted
toward Canada, is animated simply by a
desire to out-manouyre his political OPP
poneuts, and secure for himself and the
party of which he is at present the head
u renewal of the presidential term of
power. On hearing that the
Treaty had been rejected in the United
States Senate by strictly party vote
every Democratic Senator voting in favor
of it, and every Republican Senator voting
against it--they (Englishmen) comforted
themselves by the reflection that at least
one party in the United States would do
Justice If they were able, and that in all
probability after the election was over
they would seize an early opportunity of
doing it. We will continue to
hope, rs the apologize friends of America
say, the Presidents bark will prove worse
than his bite"
If the present Administration had not
,yivop O., r,any apd sunb str,linr proofs Of
its pro-Britsh leanings neither the London
Standard nor any other English newspa-
per would ever think of using such Ian
guage as we have quoted. tits. however,
well known in England that whatever
Cleveland may say he will not earn Eng
lands eumity by adopting vigorous
American policy.
The London Standard sums up the
English estimate of Cleveland when it
SAYS "The Presidents bark will prove
worse than his bite" England is, there
fore, not at all disturbed by Cleveland's
Retaliation Message. She knows that it
is all in the play, and that the chief actor
is still her fast friend, although he may,
for purpose, temporarily assume an anti
British role. She is also aware that the
Free Trade party which has placed the
author of the Retaliation Message in NOM
ination for she Presidency is favorably
disposed towards her. The representa-
tives of his party in the Senate. as the
London Standard points out, were a unit
in the support of a treaty that shamefully
surrendered the rights that no previous
administration ever dreamt of surrender
ing
England expects that if this party be
again entrusted with the management of
the Federal Government, the Bayard-
Chamberlain treaty will be ratified. This
is one of the reasons why she is 80 desir-
Gus of having Grover Cleveland reelected.
In the meantime she is convinced, to use
the elegant figure of speech employed by
the London Standard. that Cleveland's
"bark will prove worse than his bite. =
