Arizona.

Minin. in Arizona shows at present more activity and promise than for many years past. Operations now going en in the different counties and camps are harbinsers of better time. ahead; moro people, greater con sumption of homo products, and bet ter markets fer the same, follow in the wake Of successful mining snter- prises. The number of mills, :metsrs etc, now in operation in the territory may be conndered an index of the condition of such ventures. The num- Der of gold mills now h operation seems to indicate that Arizona, as | field for geld quartz mining, is not uu- important. Among those that are at work may be named ths Congress, 20 stamps; the Phoenix, 20 stamps (mors stamps talked of); the Mammoth, 90 stamps, 20 moro going in; the Harqua Hsla, 10 stamps; the Bsnt & Sampson, 10 stamps, more talked oi; also num- Der below Prescott that are running. Altogether there gre some eight or ten gold mills in successful operation. Next in point of activity come our copper mines and smslters, the Copper Qaesn, Old Globa and Clifton copper mInes are pretty we'll known among tue new ones are the Lake Shore, near Casa Grande; tho Silver Bell group, below Red Rock the Buffalo, at Globe !; the Burgess mines, on the San Pesrs; tho Duganss, Hafstgaw, etc. Silver minlSg appears to drag a little, al. though the Bsymert is increasing its capacity; the Yekol is blocking out ore for s long run; the Ariyaipa Can yon Company is beginning operations; more ehlorldin. g probably done and more ore shipped, but for lars. enter prises, silver mining has certainly fallen 10 the third rank in Arizona. Doubtless tBsFe arc more stable com psnles starting ard operated than for many years.

quicksilver In Arizona.

The editor of the Prescott Journal Miner recently paid a visit to Copper basin, Tn company with II. A. Owens Chloride Jack), q miner of many years experience, to look at tbs cinnabar claims of Mr. McNary and srn. They have in all thirtaen claims located, and have done a little prospecting on tn. surface of several of them. One shaft is down to q depth of thirty feet, and shows ore all this distance, while rroppings can bs seen covering the hills for mile or so. A gentleman familiar with the celebrated qulcksil. yer mines ef New Almaden, Caljfor- uia, who recently visited the property, says tue surface indications here are even better than those of the above mines. The ore taken just as 1t comes from tho mine gives percentage far above thatreauifel to pay expenses, while picked specimens weighing sey' srai pounds have given assay returns as high as 72 per cent. quicksilver. Mr. McNary and his sen have bottle of pretty nearly pure quicksilver, which they obtained from the rock in the most primitive method by means of heating in an ordinary meta quick silver flask with pipe screwed into the top of It, the pipe leading into s vessel containing fumes were con denscd and caught. The opening up of thls property, should it hold out on development as well as indicated by surface croppings, would certainly De the means of making one of the larg- est mining camps in Arizona.
