 The Republican was shown some | specimens of onyx yesterday from . new quarry, recently discovered, that excels in quality the onyx of the famous easrry near Prescott The quarry lies just across the Yavapsi county line, and is ioity-five miles from Phs- nix and only six miles from an old estal lished wagon read. IL was leca- ted by Richard Holnes, James Wood son and others, and the gentlemen in- terested believe they have a valuable property. The ledge. as far as exam med, has been traced for a considera- ble distance. and is twelve feet deep on sn average, by 600 feet in width. A number of specimens have been sent to Cal iornia to be dressed and polished, and, if sa l!sfsctory, the work of devel- opment will be pushed. Thsre is plenty of water within half mile of the bed, and it can be worked every month in the year.-Republican. Ii
 Captain Heating seems to be psr. fortunate in securing cempe- tent assistants for his heavy hydraulic placer operations at Humbng gulch. W. Redshsw, an experienced placer engineer from Alaska, arri we'd Tuesday l to superintend the Little Giant move. ments along the gulch. For metallur gist, Prof. Henry c. Hanks, of San Francisco. has been secared. He is State Minerslogist of California, and probably one oi the ablest sssayers in the United States. The lodes in Hum- bug gulch. as well as the placers, will l be thoroughly and scientifically ex plotted Ii indications prove sstisfac- tory, the great desidsratum in mine de- capital, will not be wanting Tor extended and systematic operations. : Herald.
 A special correspondent of the New York Mining and Engineering Journal, writing from Prescott, gives his views ,f the mining situation of this section, .s follows: Mining in the territory i ,f Arizona is now carried on under the greatest difficulties. A lack of cheap is one of the chief draw . packs. There are two transcontinentsi[ ! f ines of railroad passing from east to vest through the great Territory st considerable distance from the princi- :, ,sl mining districts. There are also wo local roads--one extending from 1 1, he Southern Pacific northward to 'henix, the other southwsrd from the Atlantic and Pacific at Prescott Junc- ion to the town of Prescott. The Prescott branch approaches within a j. ew miles of rich and prosperous c mineral section. Notwithstanding the distance from most of these mines to E he railroad necessitstes an expense in | ranging from $5 to $25 ton for ore or concentrates. This l V ,eavy expense. together with the I harges of sampling, railroad transpor- c stion to eastern smelters, and the re. h luSSioh ChatSVoy hcOcsctbutes ulbh | S ,rade of ore to insure profit. Ordi- | ,arily, ores carrying less than $50 8 on are allowed to remain on the mine l Jumps. Until suitable means of trans- arc afforded many deposits ( must either remain undevel oped or be t worked on ruinously narrow margin F # profit. Reductio ion works located at \ joints easy of access, handy to fuxes md fuel, and constructed on large q cale are indispensable to development. I There are in this Territory an sbund- c Ince of ores which can best be treated . y the smelling process Che draw Q pack to the development of the coun- ry Is the fabulous prices asked for ,laims Prices are seldom based upon cal values, but are gsuged partly by he appearance of the would-be investor or the needs of the bonanza owner"
