i Good Property.

"Whistling Dick" one of the char acters of the early days of Tombstone, arrived in Phenix yesterday from the Reymert mine in Pinal county Dick says this mine is ono of the most yalu- able on the coast, and when the new water works arc completed it will be the largest bullion producer in the territory. The water question has long been 6 serious one with them and has hampered the workings Of the mine to great extent, but the com pany have now on the grounds every thing in the way of pumping machin cry to prevent such in the future. The water will be taken from the Queen creek, four miles from the mill, and by the aid of large pump will be forced to the twenty-stamp mill
 Wallace Corbett, who for years was foreman of the famous Contention mine in Tombstone, is now foreman of this property, and it is developing into wonderful m1ne Dick speak. in high terms of Superintendent 1 Strohn and Mi.

Never were the prospects for copper better than to day. Its uses have been applied to SO many recent inventions, and it's aid so indispensable in their operation, that this metal has at last obtained an eager market. All this tells in favor of the copper interests of this territory. It will be the means of opening up many mines which have heretofore laid dormant or account of the fuctuating valuation formerly placed upon this valuable metal. Not long ago a syndicate of capitalists un. dertook to control the copper industry of the world but their metallic grasp has fortunately been relaxed, and a market value plaosd upon copper that will render it one of the most profit able of mining enterprises. Arigona stands third in the world as copper producer, and for this reason we may expect to have great mines in active operation in our midst in a very shor time.-Ciiizen.

We VIII Have a Road.

There is no question but what the north and south road will be built in the near future and the indications are that it will be constructed sooner under the existing circumstance than 1t would have been had the subsidy bill met the approval of the President. The people of Maricopa county are awake. They know what they want and are going to have it.
 They see that their prosperity de- pends greatly upon the facilities af- forded by the long contemplated road and they are going to build it. The minds of the people are by degrees settling on 8 plan for it's speedy com pletion. It is not a movement headed by one man or one corporation for their private gain but movement of she whole body of tax payers for the good of a large portion of Arizona.
 N. o. Murphy yesterday wrote to Diamond Joe to ascertain his plans for the future so that the movement will in nowise clash with any plans that he might have and as soon as his reply conveying the desired informa- ton is received mass meeting will be called for the purpose of formulat- ing plans for systematic and practi- cal action on the subject.-Phenix Gazette

PLACER MINING.
Rich Gravel Deposits in the Bradshaw
 Hills.
Phenix Republiean


 No part of the world is more highly mineralized than the southern slope of the Bradshaw mountains With the exception Of coal, nearly all known minerals have been discovered in its rugged hills. Free gold lodges crop in every ravine and canyon and the rush of the waters have conveyed to the gravel beds of the lower streams rich treasures of the yellow metal
 For several hundred years these placer deposits have been worked, whenever and wherever the necessary water could be found The returns have always been large though the methods used were crude.
 Only lately have any efforts been male to develop these placers in g systematic manner. One of the most important of such enterprises is that of the Yavapai Mining and IrTiyating company. Their property lies on Humbug creek, about forty-five miles northwest of Phenix. Over $50, ,000 have already been spent in careful examination and development of the claims. The gold is found in great gravel and sand banks along the stream. Shafts and dips have been run in many places and tests made lead the owners of the property tC estimate that over one dollar peI cubic yard will be obtained by proper handling.
 The mine is to be worked in true i California style, by means of hydra9 lie giants" tearing down the walls O | the gravel deposits and washing the debris through rif1ed sluices to tho plain below. To do this will, Of course require a large amount of water anC strong pressure. These the company design obtaining by means of dam to be thrown across the Humbug about three thousand five hundred feet above the main claims, at poin where rock bluffs facilitate the con struction of such work. The dam vii be of rock, aolidly put up, will b. 120 feet long and forty feet high. hi will secure over thirteen hundre' miners inches of water al an elevation of ore hundred feet, giving q pressur of water at the mouth of the "giant

A Relic of an Ancient Race.

During the recent visit Of Messrs Jesse R. Grant and Chas. !. Wimple to Sonora, Mexico, on mining business they were much struck with the sight of terraced mountain. It is loca ted about fifty miles southwest from Mag dalena. The mountain is circular in form, about three quarters of mile in diameter at the base, and is terrac- ed from base to peak. The night of the terrace is from ten to twelve feet and in many places is built of solid masonry. At many other places it is cut out of the solid rock. The roadway is from fifteen to twenty feet in width, starting at the base of the mountain and coiling itself spiral like to the peak of the mountain which is not less than 1900 feet higher than the base of the mountain. The cost Of the construction and cutting out of the solid rock their terraced road must have been enormous, and the remarkable features of this won der is the state of it's preservation, here and .sthere the masonry has yielded to the crumbling influences of time, but this is an exception.
 Who did this work and what could have. been it's purpose, is in great measure conjecture. Some may say 1t is the work of the Aztecs, others the Toltecs or other ancient races.
 At the base of this terraced moun- tain is mighty rock, which has the appearance of having been hewn out of sold rock, and weighs an hundred tons or more. It is placed at the mouth of what appears to be the entrance to this terraced noun tain. Here another query is sug-- gested. Does this door to the noun tain open the way to mineral treasure,or to the shrine of ancient religious devotees? Again does the terraced read which coils it's way to the peak of the mountain, lead to the shrine of the ancient yes tai virgin who kept eternal watch on the sacred fire which was never sui. fered to die3

A Mining Sale.

Yesterday Messrs. J. s. Murphy and Claud N. Johnson paid over the sum of $20,000 to Messrs. Isaac Williams, William Bell and H. D. Williams, for the Cartigan and Ivanpsugh mines, located in the Ajo district, forty miles south of Gila Bend, in this county and of which mention was made in the Star of yesterday.
 The mines were bonded six months ago, since which time active develop ments have been pushed with such good results that the purchasers were more than satisfied with the prospects on their examinations made last week.
 Nessrs. Williams and Bell have beanf fnztnnate in locating and selling good mines. They were locator. and owners in the Monarch, which was sold in Kansas City, and the Cop perosity.

The taxpayers organization in Pima county seems to be making somewhat oi a stir Ii is composed of substan- tial citizens of both parties. It has not yet taken any part in politics, so far oonfning it's labors to examination of county affairs in an endeavor to find out where the large sums of mon- ey raised by taxation go, and also to compare the salaries paid to county officials with those paid for like ser vices in mercantile pursuits. They complain that the report of the coun- ty finances published some time since Is not at all satisfactory, and that re- port is now being examined by com mittee.

A large number of people from Chi huahua and Sinaloa, entered the United States through the Port of La Noria on May 18th, reaching Yuma on June 21st. With them were over forty burzos, each heavily laden with camping appliances, and numerous cages containing native Mexican song birds and parrots, wl1ite mice and rats, and hairless dogs from the neigh boring Republic. The entire outfit camped in the brush short distance east of the round-house and were visited by many of the residents. We venture the assertion that stranger or more mixed assemblage of men, women, children, burros, dogs, birds, rats, mice and whatnot never entered our devoted towns.
