OF their assay value.
Mohave county took the prize for the
best exhibit OF mineral at the Albuqner-
que fair last week. We have always
maintained that Mohave county is the
best mining region Of the west, and few
years will prove the truth OF this asser-
ton.
The Flores mining company is anx-

for their mill. As soon as il arrives
everything will be started up in earnest.
Their, are thousands of tons OF ore on
the dumps OF the mine awaiting reduction
into bullion. 1t is without doubt the
best producing mine in Arizona territory.
The season for active prospecting ia
the mountains along Bill Williams Fork
is at hand. The country is the best in
Southern Mohaye county for the pros
pector, as the mines are all virgin ground.
Rich lodges OF gold and silver are known
to exist in that region, and the winter
months are bound to bring in many pros
pectors In search OF the hidden treasures
OF the earth.
Pres. B. w. Brown, of the Gold Min

week on q trip TO San Francisco TO be
absent ten or twelve days. The devel-
opmeuts made in the lower levels OF the

body of milling ore, and az soon as stop
ing commences the mill will turn ont
gold bullion in such quantities as will
open the eyes Of old timers.

Az soon as the shaft reaches depth Of

In the Distaff another rich strike has
been made. The north drift has been
driven under the old surface chute and
the bonanza tapped. We are informed
by creditable parties that the ore is far
richer than any ever taken from the sur
face. The surface ores, assorted, worked
over six hundred ounces silver per ton.
There are immense bodies of ore in the
mine ranging in value from eighty to one
hundred ounces per ton that will pay
handsome profit as soon as the mill is
erected
Now that all litigation against the title
of the Diamond Joe mine has been
quieted work will be started up on a large
scale The mine is one of the finest
pieces of property in Arizona to-day, and
