The Harqua Hala Mines.

Through the kindness of Sheriff M. J. Nugent who has just returned from the Harqua Hala mines, the Sentinel is able to present it's readers with the following reliable information from the gold camp. The bonanza mine is looking better than ever; the foot wall has not yet been found all though in places the vein has been cross-cut for upwards of thirty feet. In no place in the mine is the pay streak narrower than eight feet. The ore being worked is very high grade, and there is enough low grade ore in sight and uncovered to run one hum dred stamps for twenty years. The ore is easily and inexpensively mined and being mostly decomposed quartz is readily crushed. The mill of ten stamps is running steadily night and day, and the "clean ups" show that the ore is increasing in value right along. The rock is free-milling con sequently it is worked up to very high percentage of the assays. The mine is without doubt one of the richest on the Pacific Coast and it's owners are earning on their invest ment. There are twenty men employ ed in the mine, and six at the mill which handles twenty-five to thirty tons every twenty-four hours. The mine is five miles distant from the mill, and on the day previous to MT. Nugent's departure survey was made for 8 new millsite right at the "bonan- ga" which it was found could be sup piled with an abundance of water by running a pipe line three thousand feet long. The owners of the bonanza group have determined to build new mill at the place mentioned, thereby saving the expense of hauling ore. Frank Kirkland is general manager and George Davis assistant manager of the company. Tom Cochrane has charge of the mill, Tom Brown of the mine Hon. A. G. Hubbard one of the other owners was expected to visit the camp at an early day. MT. Nugent says that the people in Harqua Hala camp are very hospitable and treat visitors with kindness and courtesy. There are about one hundred and fifty men in the district and the camp is in a fourishing condition. Frank Wells has several claims which are producing plenty of high-grade ore and the Quinn brothers have opened up big body of rich ore in the mine; they have sold portion of their property and are pushing work. The entire district is being thoroughly prospect ed and with very satisfactory results. Captain James McCasey is the prin- cipal assayer of the Harqua Halas and he is also prospecting number of claims which give great promise for the future. MT. Nugent says that the road from Sentinel to the mines is the best wagon road ill the county and that it only took him and w. H. Burke, who accompanied him, one day to make the drive. A number of very rich specimens from the Harqua
 Hala mines have been kindly placed on exhibition by MT. Nugent at the Southern Pacific hotel where they can be seen by the public.-Yuma Sentinel.

MURDERED BY APACHEs.
Small Band of Indians Inaugurate Hos tilities and Kill a Freighter--Pur-
 suit by the Troops.

A press telegram from Globe of March Sd, gives the following account of the latest murder by Apache In dians Another red-handed murder has been committed by the Apache fiends.
 A freighter named Herbert, on the road with his wagon, loaded with merchandise for Globe, was murdered last night nine miles west of Camp Thomas by band of cutthroat In dians. They took his horses and burned his wagon. After finishing their bloody work the wild red men destroyed the military telegraph line by cutting pole and stealing DOT ton of the wire, thus cutting off com munication between the military posts.
 The crime was reported by couriers to Fort Thomas and San Carlos. I'm mediately orders were given to Lieut. Clarke and Watson from the former place to start out with troops, and they reached the scene of the murder shortly after midnight. The corpse was found and sent to Fort Thomas this morning.
 After repairing the telegraph line and establishing communication again the soldiers took the trail and are making hot pursuit. The trail leads north, and it is supposed there are about six Indians in the band.
 The red cutthroats destroyed the telegraph line to delay communication between the troops and to gain time in their escape, evincing the fact that they are fast becoming adeptsi in crime.
 It is not known to what tribe the Indians belong, but the depreciation has created panic and many ranches are reported abandoned.
 If Geronimo and his gang of pious followers were now located at Fort Sill, where General Crook is doing his utmost to get them, Arizona would be in fair way to again experience the difficulties of early days.
 A San Carlos telegram of the same , date says the renegade Apaches ar' making themselves known as the win
 ter disappears.
 Of the eleven renegades five or si' are in Sonora, Mexico, and on a lat raid they stole sixteen horses, beside , committing numerous other depreda : tions. Many believe that an Apach war is imminent.
 e A later dispatch from Globe state e that the latest news from the troop pursuing the five Indians who murder 2 ed freighter Herbert, on the Gila rive > near Thomas, March 2, is that Lieuti s Watson and Clark are hot on the trai {, of the murderers, who are heading l. little west of Fort Apache. A sma s detachment will be sent out from For
 Apache to intercept them if possible

Mining Notes.

Talk is that people who recently purchased the hydraulic mines on Lynx creek, eight miles east of Pres colt, will shortly construct dam that will be dam, make a large reservoir and store water for mining and farm ing.
 MT. Riley, of the Ryland company, is awiting the arrival of gentlemen from Chicago, who, soon after their arrival, will accompany him to mill and mine.
 The mill at Harrisburg, Harqua Hala district, is freeing plenty of gold bullion from the ore. $16,000 were cleaned up recently.
 U. J. Bently, formerly of Turkey creek district, is said to own a very fine mine in White Picacho district.

New life has evidently been infused into the mining industry of this ter ritory. Word reaches us from all points, of old camps starting up, more discoveries being made, mills being erected, and claims paying handsome returns that were formerly considered worthless. From reliable sources we learn that the copper mines in the northern part of the territory are be- ing worked to their utmost capacity, and not an idle miner to be seen. The famous Mammoth mine is working strong force of men, and will shortly afford employment for double the crew now employed and scattered over hill and dale, rocky peak and river bottom, may be seen the hardy pros pector in excellent spirits, making new strikes and prospering according ly. Yes, the mining outlook of the Territory is now better than it has been for many long day; mineral properties are being worked for the ores therein, and not operated on stock-gambling principle to catch the unwary. There are many fiourishing industries in Arizona to-day, but at present that of mining takes the lead.-Citizen.

A Long Tramway.

H. M. Morrison, w. W. Trask and Joseph Bowyer, of the Salero mining company, were in the city Friday hay ing run down from the company's property to take look at the Border City. It is needless to add that they were very much pleased with Nogal- es.
 These gentlemen have come out from the east to make arrangements for building a tramway from the mines to the mill. At present the mill, which was recently rebuilt in the Sonoita canyon and is in good running order, is idle for want of ore. There is plenty of ore at the mines, the Fl Plomo showing up especially fine, but no adequate means of carrying it to the mill has been as yet arranged and now it is proposed to build tramway. The distance from the mines to the mill is eleven miles but is thought that by running the tramway over two small ranges of hills the distance can be shortened to eight. miles. The tramway will consist of wire cables and buckets, the latter being attached to an endless chain. Its construction will cost an enormous outlay but the members of the company feel justified in going to considerable expense They have thoroughly examined the mines and are very much pleased with the outlook.-Nogales Herald.

 The immense amount of cattle stealing going On throughout South ern New Mexico has aroused the stockmen to the necessity of organiza- ton. Meetings are being held to devise ways to stop this pernicious stealing of horse and cattle. At a meeting of the Southwestern Stock Association, held at Silver City last week, the President was authorized to appoint agents in Mexico or any other place to recover stolen stock belong ing to members of this association, for which $5 per head will be paid. Re- ports are brought in of the finding of dead cattle, supposed to be killed by wolves, but which are more likely killed by meat thieves, taking choice parts of the animal and leaving the balance for the wolves or other wild animals, and in this manner cover their own crime, and so long as they are not discovered in the act it is safe way to steal. It is to be hoped the thorough organization of the cat tiemen in the infected country will have the effect of rounding up" some of the thieves, and if so, the good old way of getting rid of them would be our method--Wilcox Stockman.

A Valuable Plant.

Science is continually gouging around in Mexico, making new and important discoveries. One of the latest important discoveries is that of plant which, although it is found in abundance, promises to prove very val uable. This plant is known as the Pambotana, the root of which is said to contain a substance similar to but more powerful than quinine in it's antiperiodic action. It has been found to cure rebellious intermittent levers that had resisted the action ofquinine. This discovery may have the effect of lat least reducing the exorbitant price now charged for quinine if it does not take the place of it alto gether.-Nogales.

Mammoth Bonanza.

From E. S. Dodge the Star learns that the Mammoth gold mines are now running night and day. Thirty stamps are dropping steadily and everything runs like clock work. About 50 men are employed. Mir. Dodge says the ore body is simply i'm mense, and the grade of the ore for gold rock is high. He thinks it the grandest mining property he has ever seen, and taken in connection with the business management, he says it will in few months prove the most successful and satisfactory mining company in Arizona. He thinks that the stamps will be increased to 100 at once, as the success which is exper- fenced with the new treatment of the ore. and the vast body of ore which has been developed at depth in the mine, warrants this step.-Star.
