MINES AND MINING.

The mining property belonging to the
late George Horn, and situated in the
Santiago gold and silver mining belt.
was sold at public auction by Public
Administrator Ely last Saturday. The
prices brought were very low, and on
that account it is possible the sale may
not be confirmed by the court. An un-
divided one-third interest in the Nip
and Tuck mine started at $25 and was
run up to $10l.5O, being finally knocked
down to DR.. Law of the Santiago Mining
company. An undivided one-third in
terest in the Vandelhorn started at $5,
and was knocked down to John Ever
harty for $25. An undivided one-fourth
interest in the Corydon started at IS,
and went to Fred Smythe for $18. An
undivided one-half interest in the
Ridgepole was started at IS, and was
knocked down to Jack Landell for $25.
A like interest in the Smuggler went to
the same gentleman for SIS. The sale
brought in $185.50. Evidently it was
not a good day for mining stock.-[ Ana

YUMA'E SULPHUR MINES.
Col. D. K. Allen has received notice
from Gen. A. R. Gonzales. in the City of
Mexico, that the death of Col. Luis HUI
ler will not interfere with the Sulphur
company's plans of putting its mines to
production, says the Sentinel. Which
ever of the three railroad lines is de-
cided to be the most feasible will be
hr,i1t Tho rnoI mill ho hu,tt
from Yuma to the mines. The reduc-
tion and acid works will be erected at
such a point as the superintendent
may select. The president of the COM
pany also writes Colonel Allen the
same good news from New York.
This is most excellent news for Yuma,
for it means that in the expenditure OF
tens if not hundreds of thousands of
dollars in opening up and putting to
production the great deposits of sui
phur, alum, and nitre which lie so near
us, that Yuma will gather in her por-
ton. Many of our citizens will find
employment there and many a dollar
paid out there will find its way back to
our town. The opening of the vast re-
sources southwest Of us, means prosper
ity and success in Yuma's future.
JEhOME COfFEhs
George II. Curry, who recently re-
turned from the great copper camp at
Jerome, thinks there will be town of
at least $500 workers there by spring I;
says the roads are getting rather slippery
for teams, and great efforts are being
made to complete the tramway before
the winter SHOWS set in. 1t is claimed
the tramway will be completed within
thirty days, when five more stacks will
be added to the smelters. The roasting
heaps extend from the smelters one mile
and half in length. Five men knock
down sufficient ore in the mines to keep
the whole works running at present; the
balance of the force of miners are kept
busy doing development work.-[Pres-

JULIAN MINES.
The Helvetia force, says the Julian
Sentinel, has succeeded in reaching the
goal of their desires-the old works.
These were cut into Friday night and
the shift was laid off to allow the foul
air to be cleansed away. Upon enter
ing the old works, the quality and
quantity of ore in sight was found to
exceed the expectations of those inter
ested. This Is now a great property,
with the big pay shoot encountered in
| their search for the old works and the
body of ore found to exist in the old
works. This mine now takes front
rank in the many good prop
critics Of the Julian mining dis.
trict. The question for the Helvetia
people now to solve is how and where ia
get more water. The present supply Of
water is only sufficient to run five
stamps eight hours day, while there is
ore enough coming up the shaft to keep
ten stamps busy every moment.
At no time in the past has the pros
pect of paying future for the Cincin.
natl Belle been SO good as now. The
shaft that the Murphy Bros. contracted
to sink from the lower level has been
progressing rapidly, and recently opened
up rich vein. The gold bearing part
is nearly three freet in width, and it il
nearly three feet in width, and it is es
timated will run as we'll, il not better
than any ore heretofore taken from the
mine.

Ruby have placed force at work OF
