 Special Correspondence of THE REPUBLICAN
 Until about two years ago that section of the country known as the Haqua Hala mining district was but little known in the realms of mining men, when Harry Warton, Robert Stein and Mike Sullivan made the discovery of the mines now known as the Bonanza and Golden Eagle. Since the announce ment of these discoveries, prospectors and miners have gradually driited into this section and prospected the sur rounding country to such an extent that it is safe in saying, in view of the sue cess with which many have met, that this, is destined to become one of the many thriving and prosperous mining camps on the Pacific Coast.
 The great inconvenience in reaching this country, owing the want of trans portation facilities and the scarcity of water, has retarded the rapid develop ment of the camp to some extent, but these conditions having been greatly ameliorated within the last few months, it is generally believed that ere another year rolls around this district will be supporting larger population than any other locality in Yuma County. The new road between here and Phoenix, over which large freight trains pass without difficulty, the stage line between | here and Sentinel, on the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, have so facilitated transportation that passen- gers and freight can be conveyed into the heart of the mining district with | little, if any, inconvenience.
 The Bonanza and Golden Eagle mines, owned by Hubbards x Bowers, are probably the richest developed, though it is thought by many experienced men that there are several other locations, if developed to the same extent the Bonanza now is, would make as good a showing. Hubbard X Bowers are now engaged in erecting a twenty stamp mill at their prop erty, which will probably be com pleted within three months.
 The Golden Crown, the property Of I Quinn Bros. X Co.,, is attracting con siderable attention.
 The Black Eagle has lead carbonate ore body, bearing silver in paying quan- titles. It is now being rapidly developed by it's owners, Delhi X Roan.
 The Socorro, owned by Major Clay, of San Francisco, has been developed to quite an extent and promises well.
 The Mineral Belt mine, owned by Harry Mullen, is slowly developing into a mine of no mean pretensiOns.
 The Great Desert, Carmelita, Gov ernor Haight, Lucky Tom, Lucky Jack, Che Bullion Group, Golden, Leisure Hour and the Crown, are the names oi a few of the many locations that have been made in this locality. While it is true that many of these locations are practically undeveloped, many of them have been so thoroughly tested that their owners feel justified in pushing development as rapidly as their limited means will admit.
 In conversation with your correspOn- dent, few days ago, one of the most substantial mining men of this section of Arizona, who has been here about two years, stated that the only thing now that retards the rapid develop ment of this district is the want of cap ital. Most of the locators, as is usually the case, are men without means and so are unable to develop their mines, except what can be performed by their own labor. This fact has not held out much inducement to lahorers and so but few idle men are found here. But the fact that this district Is beginning to attract attention in the financial centers of the coast, is sufficiently evident that necessary funds 10 develop this mining district will soon be at hand.
