Good Mines.

The prominence given the Jack Rabbit mine by its shipments of rich ores, is naturally inviting attention to the surrounding properties, many of which are known to be very valuable. That particular portion of the Casa Grande mining district shows greater number of really meritonous mines than almost any other district of equal size in the Territory. Seams of min eral cut through the mountains form ing strong lodges of ore that in many instances is of astonishingly high grade and ordinarily will well repay, legitimate efforts at reduction.
 Among others of more or less merit may be mentioned the claims known as the Atlantic, Pacific, Silver Bell and its extensions, lying to the south west of the Jack Rabbit. From the Atlantic and Pacific mines consider able of the rich surface ore has been shipped, leaving large quantity of second grade on the dumps. At great CT depth heavy lead carbonate ore is found,T coated and imprcgnated with horn silver, nuggets of silver glance decomposed, and masses of galena with sometimes the cubes separate and distinct in the gangue giving the ore a speckled appearance. This lat ter mineral is about as rich any found in the Territory, the pure assaying over 600 ozs. in silver to the ton. The ledge is large, from 12 to IS feet wide, the hanging wall being a porphyry dike and the foot wall limestone, and it is regarded as true Assure vein.
 The same general characteristics ex- tend through the Silver Bell, Inde- pendence and Chicago claims, which are not nearly so well developed as the Atlantic and Pacific.
 Some distance further to the south lies the Boomerang group of gold properties, with veins averaging about two feet wide yielding ore that will mill from $40 to $l00 per ton. Con siderable ore is now on the dumps, some fifty tons of which, it is asserted, is well worth $5,000. These are re- garded as very promising gold proper ties.
 Not far to the west of the Jack Rab- bit is the Orizaba group of mines that have yielded quite fine fortune dur ing the past eight years. Consider able development work has been done on this group and the selected ore shipped for reduction has given an average return of $500 per ton. The group constitutes big property that is worthy the attention of a syndicate of enterprising capitalists.
 There are other excellent properties in that immediate neighborhood that are very promising so far as the pres ent developments show and it is quite likely that several reduction plants will be in operation within radius of five miles in that vicinity within a very few years.

PORTLAND, Ogn., January 14.-The
thermometer this morning fell to
degrees, the coolest ever known here
since December, 1879. J. II. Guild,

the weather reports for twenty-one
years at Portland, says that he has
never before received any which
showed such intense cold at particular
points or low average throughout
the State as exhibited by those re-

At Baker City it was "a below, at

the heart of the wholesale section Of
the city, and the stores destroyed were
all among the largest of the street. Il
is the season of the year, too, when the
huge buildings are packed from cellar
to garnet with goods. The spring stock
of goods had just been stored away,
and thousands of dollars that had left

ago, went up in the flames. Individ-
ual losses foot up about $3.50, 900.

The city narrowly escaped water
famine last night. The Reservoir
Water Works was entirely empty, the
result of the freezing of water in the

the lake. The water company put on
large force of men, who have been
at work since the frost, and this noon
had water running again. The sup
ply is short as the reservoir had to be
filed, besides answering constant
drafts by the consumers.
