Corr. Phenix Horald.

From Harqua Hala mines we hear good reports, but it is difficult to get detailed information. Two or three parties have arrived in town recently from that section, and give the follow ing items;
 The bonanza mine or more correct ly the Gold Hill mine, is turning out lots of ore, and the 10-stamp mill is running steadily, yielding lots of bull lion. It is reported that three quar- ters of that property is bonded to Col orado parties for $100,000 till March 1st.
 The Quinn claims are considered to be nearly or quite as good as the Gold Hill, Nick Palmer, recently from the Congress mine, has been out there ex- porting and sampling the Quinn claims. Camp stories credit him with having purchased one-quarter and get ting bond on the rest of the proper ty.
 Prospecting is lively all along the line from Harrisburgh to the Colorado river Capt. Calderwood has just de livered load of hay, and has made arrangements to keep the camp sup piled with hay and grain hereafter. The outlook is very favorable for the future of the camp.

A Mining Boom.
Corr. Tucson CItIzen.) ]

At no time since the history of Casa Grande were people so hopeful as at the present writing. And why? As if by magic we are surrounded by growing fields of grain, and the ham, mer and saw can be heard in all di- rections-new buildings going up everywhere. In looking southward, farms houses and fields can be seen for miles. Really this is the consum
 nation of our wishes and fond dreams
 Prosperity on every hand, smiling faces on our streets, and many new ones that look as if they had come to stay. The activity in mining south and north of Casa Grande is assuming veritable boom. The Central Silver mill and smelter will be ready to start about the 20th of this month, and will be followed by the Golden West mill a few days later. This plant will begin to reduce the immense bodies of free smelling copper ores of the Lake Shore Group, as soon as completed, and will send out volume of copper equaled by none in the territory, as the ores contain all the fiuxing properties, and contains 15 per cent. right through, and for long time 20 to 30 per cent. ore can be mined to supply the plant. This property lies 30 miles south of Casa Grande, and owing to fine roads short distance to railroad, and abun- dance of wood and water, promises to be the largest dividend payer in the west. A splendiu showing has recent ly been made on this property, and the prospects of another Leadville in our midst looks bright. Recent de- yelOpments indicate the mine to be immensely rich, the particulars of which hope to make public in few

GOVERNMENT LANDS.
Statement Showing Business of Local
 Land Office in Tucson.


 Very few people residing in the Gila Land District, which is composed of all Pima, Cochise, Graham, Pinal, and the greater portions of Maricopa and Yuma, have no idea of the amount of business transacted by the local land office in this city.
 Since March 3, 1873, the date of the passage of the timber culture act, there have been 935 original entries made under that act, and of this num- Der only six final entries have been allowed.
 Under the Desert Land Act there have been 1,594 filings, PIG of which final certificates have been issued.
 Two thousand five hundred and seyen- ty-six declaratory statements have been filed under the Pre-Emption laws i; TIA cash certificates have been issued this also includes commuted home steads; 1881 original entries have been made under the homestead law, and 26S final receipts issued.
 Under the Mining Act of May 10, 1872, 533 mineral applications have been made, of this number 465 final receipts have been issued.
 It must be remembered that when final certificates have been issued by the local officers, their action is sub ject to the approval of the depart ment at Washington, and patents will not be issued until the respective proofs have been finally approved.
 The following is a list of agricul- tural and mining patents that are now in the land office, awaiting the call of the parties to whom they have been issued.

Prospecting on the Gila---A Little Boy Killed by a Freight Wagon
 Agricultural Notes.
(Solomonyille Bulletin )

Geo. Mccormick is down from Nor enci prospecting in the hills adjacent to Solomonville. There is plenty of mineral in any of the hills bordering on the Gila but the difficulty is to find sufficient ore to warrant the putting up of mill, as the expense of getting ore out of the valley is so heavy that it requires a very rich mine to pay the working expenses and the freight on the ore. But some one will make a lucky strike some day, as the country has never been thoroughly prospected, and then we will have a railroad through the Gila valley and a good mining country will be opened up.
 Yesterday afternoon as a freight wagon was coming into Solomonville, a very distressing accident happened. A little boy about six years old, the son of Antonio Lujah, while playing around the wagon in some manner slipped and fell, and one of the wheels passed over his body killing him al- most instantly. The deceased was an unusually bright and handsome child, oLiu, OIl ftCOOulO OI liIo ouuLy OIopOSl- ton was a general favorite. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community.
 Charley Snow, a LC cowboy on the middle Gila, rode into Silver City with party of friends one day last week in the true Young Lochinvar style, and bidding defiance to stern parents, would-be- bridegroom and the rest, carried off the young lady who had his heart in custody and married her on the eve of her wedding day with an objectionable suitor.
 New land is being broken in a num- Der of places in the bottoms close to the river below Solomonville. A large area the very best land in Arizona, lying close to the Gila, is allowed to become overgrown with weeds, and the reclamation of some of it is a step in the right direction.
 Sheriff Whelan and constable Me Carty returned from Yuma on Sun day last. They made safe trip and landed the eleven prisoners behind the bars in the penitentiary O. K.
 Work will probably be commenced on the new school house in Solomon vile during the next six weeks.

A wonderful rich strike has been made within the past few days in the Olive mine near the old Mowry Smell ter. This strike is believed to be in the vein that has been sought so long in vain by different parties. When the old Mowrey works were closed down in 1863 and old Mexican miner reported that ore was left in one of the shafts that would run 1900 or 2000 ounces in silver. On the strength of this report numbers of different parties have sought in vain to strike it, but have successively failed. Within the last two years one party spent over $2OOO in search of the rich ore referred to by the old Mexican miner. It is believed the vein has at last been found in this new strike. The ore runs from 300 to 2000 ounces in lead and silver; native silver abounding in large quantities. Some of the samples are so strung together with wire of native silver that it is impossible to break it; the vein is reported 10 be from to inches wide This may prove fortune to the discoyerers, though they are already troubl led with water in the mine. The parties who made the strike are Nicholas Carr and Frank Olson.-Citizen.

D. Brown a rancher living near thu

D. Brown rancher living near the east line of this county, near Francis Creek, had sixteen head of fine horses die from the effects of drinking water from stream known as Bitter Creek Eight head are still missing but it is not known whether died or strayed from their range. The loss is a severe one on MT. Brown, as he lost the larger portion of his herd. The report was circulated that large number of cattle had died from the effects of drinking water from the same stream but J. D. Bland who rode over that range last week denies the report and says that the cattlemen in that section have suffered no losses, this season and that stock is in excellent condi- tion.-Mohave Miner.

They have averaged ten miles per day and are re- ported to be in excellent condition. By careful driving Mir. Vail thinks they will reach Los Angeles without accident, and owing to the high rates of freight over the railroad, a great saving will be effected.-Star.

The party who are surveying the railroad route down the Colorado river are expected to reach Diamond creek canyon twenty miles north of Peach Springs, about March lst. It is how ever a doubtful expectation as already three of the party have been killed by falling rocks and three injured leaving eighteen at last reports, and they still have the most dangerous portion of the canyon to go through, It is hoped, however, that they may succeed in making the trip safely. Major Powell is the only person who has ever made the trip down the Colorado and he does not wish to repeat his experience. There is large amount of mail matter at the Peach Springs post office ad- dressed to the various members of the surveying party and postmaster Cohenour wonders how many ot them will live to call for the mail addressed to them.-Mohave Miner.

The APahy CanaIs
Yuma Sentinel.

una sentinel.
 The Araby Canal which heads about fifteen miles east of Yuma and has been completed to within seven miles of town is now being extended west ward. The canal when completed, which will be within two months, will irrigate ten thousand acres of as fer tile land as the sun ever shone upon. The entire tract is fortunately made up of rich mellow soil and being in the warm belt the cottonwood and will low trees are but seldom without their leaves, and to-day February 18th, are as rich in foliage as they can possibly be in June. The temperature of the Araby valley is the same as that of Yuma-and with the good land on one side and an abundance of water in the other, the results will simply be marvellous. This section is unsur- passed on the Pacific Coast for the growing of citrus fruit and the raisin grape. No where else in the world, not excepting that favored spot Sicily-are lemons grown te such a state of perfection as they are here Then again the earliness of our fruits will give us g great advantage over California producers: before their fruits are ready for sale our crops will be entirely disposed of. The gentle man controlling the Araby canal, is a successful and conservative business man, who does not let his enthusiasm run away with his judgment, cons sequently the canal and its extension now under way will be carefully and substantially constructed with a view of not only supplying presents wants, but to be enlarged in the future when necessity will demand it. A represent ative of the Sentinel made personal examination of the work two days ago and reports that the ditQhar, which is now in operation is simply accomplish ing wonders. The plough is worked by fourteen horses and will make at least Qna mile of ditch per day, without any difficulty at all The ditch as now being run,-for present needs-will be ten feet wide at the bottom and four feet deep The work is being pushed along and the canal will probably reach Yuma, by Feb ruary 18th. The completion of this will be the inauguration of new era for this town and the earnest efforts which the Sentinel has made fol Yuma will soon bear the fruit of pro- gress and prosperity.
 MT, J. M. Quiggle, who two months ago contracted with the ]. D. Reymert Mining Go. to bore well for that com pany, reports that work is steadily progressing. At 80 feet water was struck. The well is now 400 feet deer and the water has risen to within F feet of the surface. Inst week the drill broke, but was repaired at once and work will continue until a boun tiful supply of water is assured There is no doubt that this will be obtained soon. Mr. Quiggle has another ma chine at work deepening the old wei at the Atlas mine The well was 50( feet deep, but it will be bored until . depth es JSet is reached, when MT Quigglb ass'As*s g sufficient supply Q water lfss nbtained.-Citizen.
