 The Phsnix Repubiicsu ssys thAs rich gold strike has been made on the Colorado river, on the California s,d.s about forty miles fro@ Ehrenbery. sam wstson and John Frost are the lucky finders. The ledge is about four feet v.de, with pay streak in t of about one foot, which runs $l26 to the ton. An arastrs will be constrecte6 and the best ore run through 1t for the present, and if the lead continues in richness e depth is attained. some one will proba. bly, take hold and pp. uP machinery to work 1t.
 speaking of the reported discovery of lost mine in Death Valley. California. W. H. Ferguson, who has prospectsd and mined all over the Pacific coast, says that years ago he spsnt $lO.000 in trying to discover this famous mine.

 The McNsry c,nnabsr mines. In Cop per Basin. are very promising proper ertiee, as far as they are opened up. Assays e high e 30 per cent in quick. silver have been obtained from them. while the general average of the assays are higher than the ore which is being successfully worked in California. Should the ore continue equal in quan- tity and qua lity as depth ,s obtained in the properties. they give promise ot be- coming one of the greatest quicksiiver pIO0ucGIu t4 ttlc CUuuby. "sSs@ VI V JouRxAL-MISER has no personal inter- est in these properties. it would be sorry to see them disposed of to any one but experienced mining men. k will require ths expenditure of consid- erable money to develop the properties and build plant for the reduction of the ore. The members of ordinary mining companies, that are new in the business, expect to zee their claims pay large dividends e soon as t2.O0o or 5000 have been expended. Tue men who have had experience n mining know by such experience the fallscy of such expectations. They know that it costs money to delve into the earth in search of hidden treasure. They know that machinery for the treatment of ores is very expensive. The sxpsEi- enced mining man is willing to spend money co long as inducements in the shape of good ore are in sight. The other man wants to see the ore con verted into money and the money rs. ,1Sasd to bis pocket at once.
