The Haraua Haia Mines.

Nellie Cashman returned from the new strike Saturday night, and it is said that she has decided to open a boarding house in the new camp.
 It is reported on our streets that another claim has been discovered ill the Harqua Hala mountains as rich as either of the two made by Stein, Sullivan and Wharton.
 Chas. Boak says that Wells and Me Namara are located at a point sup posed to be the junction of the Gold Eagle and Gold mountain lodges, and have taken out some very rich ore, a specimen oi which he brought in with him.
 A party consisting of E. F. Jones, Of Tucson, Wm. Pickett, superintendent oi the QuijotoS mines, and ". s. Lyle, of San Francisco, the well known rep resentative Of the Bonanza firm, and through whom the purchase of the QuijotCa mines were effected, left this morning for the Harqua Iala noun tains. Mir. Jones has already visited tue new district, and made several To- cations. He is very enthusiastic re- garding the value of the new property, and on his representations it is re- ported that Messrs. Lyle and Pickett were induced to make the trip, with the purpose of buying the property, if the same can be accomplished at a fair figure.
 H. R. Miller, Emil Sydow, Jack E1D1l, .,.I (Fhoo pAol- urday night from an investigation of the new mining strike in the Centen- nial district In an interview with Mir. Finch the reporter learned that the two original claims were as rich as reported previously, but there had been no sale of the property up to his date of departure, last Friday. Neither has any further work been done The entire country is heavily mineralized, , and locations have been made for five miles in every direction from the new camp. There Is water in the tanks near the mines sufficient for two weeks for drinking purposes, if no more rain | falls; otherwise the nearest supply Is three miles distant. Three miles of
  | water has been struck in mining shaft, at depth of sixty feet, and Mr Finch believes that by sinking, plen- 1 tiIul supply of water may be obtained at the new camp. Timber is abund- ant, and other conditions favorable for mining. Among the numerous locations made he has heard of noth- ing of much value save the two orig inal discoveries.
 From Keith R Miller, the reporter also gleaned information to the samt effect. He does not believe, however that the district will amount to muct until the locators of the new strike are bought out, and does not think that they will secure purchaser at tho present price until more work is done and they do not propose to develop their claims. The three partners seem to be suspicious of each othel and ale certainly suspicious of ever, visitor. They want the sum of S200, 0G0 down for their claims and will ge that or nothing. He does not blam. them for refusing Sevenoak's offer 0 $50, ,O00 down for a working bond fo 90 days, at the expiration of which tn, $l5O,000 remaining would be paid, 10 the reason that they have more thai $5O,0O0 in sight which can be extrac ted at litile cost. The fiat, north an' west of the hills on which Stein, Sulli van and Wharton have their locations IS marked by well defined lodges Of
 gray colored quartz, and if it shoul prove to be of value of $20 per ton the Tombstone district in its earl days, would pale into insignifcance.
