MINES AND MINING.

JOurndl-Miner: "The articles of in- corporation of the Mockingbird Mining company and the appointment of
 Richard DeKuhn, an agent of the com pany, have been filed for record"
 Star: "The reporter was shown some very fine specimens of silver, cop per and gold ore that came from the Sierritas Mining district, south of this city, some thirty miles, near II. S. Stevens ranch, that sells, net, at the Puebla smeter for s27S per ton. This is clear of the expenses of mining, ship ping and smelling. The ore assays on an average from $50 to 800 ounces to the ton. The most prominent mines in this district are the Good Luck, Santa Isabel and the Santa Rosa"
 The reporter was shown yesterday a fine specimen of matte from the Tucson shelter metta, which carries about sixty per cent copper and and about eighty ounces of silver per ton, or sixty ounces of pure metal to the hundred pounds of matte. The shelter continues still to do first-class work. In fact it could not do otherwise with C. T. Good ing at its helm.
 Chizen: "Mr. O. A. Hyatt is in from Oracle, and reports that the mines in that region are all very good, consider ing the developments. It is expected that some mining properties there will soon change hands. If all goes smooth there will soon be reduction works erected, which will greatly facili- tate the business in that region. The mines are working chiefly on silver and lead, copper also being found in paying quantities. Gold properties there are liable to soon change hands. The Southern Bell is about to begin opera tions under the control of some New York parties. The mine has been idle for some time on account of trouble be- tween former owners, but all is now fixed and ten stamps more are to be added. This IS very fine property. The lnter-Ocean Cattle company, E. 0. Stratton superintendent, has here one of the finest cattle ranges in the country, and all the cattle are looking very good. This region has the finest of resources for the mining business, wool, water, and grass being there in abundance. It has had black eye on it in the past on account of the Apache scares, but that IS now over, and it is lively country of which Arizona can well be proud"
 The following mining notes are taken from the Tombstone PrOspector:
 The Sterling Silver min is running steady on ore from the Turquois and Bunker Hill mines.
 The State of Maine is shipping at regular intervals and keeps the same force Of men at work.
 The Randolph shipped a carload of ore last week and is still taking out ore from the same streak.
 Trezona X Vincent at Clarksburp have several tons of ore out. Their | ledge is small, but carries very rich horn silver ore.
 At the Uncle Sam the north exten- sion of the State of Main ledge is being opened up in good shape. They are ex- pecting lot of steel rails for their in cline shaft and as soon as they arrive and are put in place it is intended to put on larger force of men.
 The T. M. X M. company are steadily working on four of their properties and making their regular shipments of about three hundred tons per month. They have any amount of mining ground that has not been explored yet, but the com pany is prospecting it as fast as the out put of the mines will pay for doing it. In the Lucky Cuss they reached water level in winze from the fifth level. where they found that they can sink their main shaft eighty-tive feet further before reaching water, and which they intend to do soon. From the third level they ran a crOsscut 450 feet long to the East Side ledge, where they found a very large ledge of manganese ore. Here they are running both ways on the ledge, eight-hour shifts.
 Citizen: "Mr. J. II. Martineau of Gila Bend is in the city. Mir. Martineau re- ports that Gila Bend is a country with
