Tsa Union Public Ore Samphng Works es Beaver report fhs ore sales in that place for June at 57 ,375 tons.
 The wadleigh and Iron Clad mining | claims and Lowell mill on Lynx creek, were sold at sheriff sale on Saturday, the purchaser being Lawrence Went ling. ca the day of sale, Wentling executed lease on all the properties, and they will be started up at once.
 Geo W. Sines returned yesterday from visit to Groom creek, and brought in sample of ore from the Silver King mine, recently bonded from A. J. Rubert X Sons, by Kansas City parties. The ore is gold sulphur rets, worth $l6O to $2e0 per ssn. The shaft is only down 55 feet, but shove up rith ore in great abundance: The name is sort of misnomer. as "Gcid King" would be more appropriate, but tho surface ore vas very rich In si'veF, from which tt received its name.

 samples and assaying them to ascer-

 the character of the mineral found at
 Lynx creek and in the Bradshaw
 mountains, and will recommend the
 erection of concentrating works at
 those points, where they can be made
 very handsome dividends on the re-
 quired investment. He says, what
 every conservative business man must

 prise. That 8 very large percentage of the ore found is not high enough
 grade to bear transportatio n even to
 Prescott without concentrating. By
 the erection of concentrating plants at convenient points in the various min- ing districts a sufficient amount would be ob.ainable to maintain small plant. The success of these concen- trating plants would lead to the deyel- opment of claims, and in the course of time as properties are developed and the output of ore increased, the cent al plant at Prescott could be enlarged ac- cording to necessities. With the proper representation, there is no doubt but capital can be secured to carry out MT. Rockwell's ideas. They ! seem to he sensible and reasonable. From the personal examination he has
 made of the proposition, he is pre- pared to demonstrate the feasibility of his plans, as we'll as prove to capitalists
