The United States Mining con,
 pany has filed articles of ineorpora
 ton with the county recorder.
 \ deed from George Sinclair to ]
 W. Yocum, for mining property fo
 Sl0,O00, has been filed for record. E. 1. Johnson has deeded certain
 mining property in Humbug distric
 toD. F. Keating for Sl ,500.
 The Crowned King and Catoeti,
 mines are making regular shipment,
 of ore to the sanpling works.
 J. W. Yocum has sold the Golden Cliff and one or two other mining
 claims to l.. E. Gabbert Tor 5000
 An English gentleman who is in
 terested in the Humbug hydraulic
 works at Camp Hattersley, arrived
 in Phenix a short time since.
 F. L. Carlisle has resigned as s,t-
 perintendent of the Black Horse
 mine, D. Boaz being aow i'll that
 position. W. T. Hall is at work taking the
 water out of the Black Horse mine
 As soon as he succeeds in this task
 he will work the mine and run the ore through his mill The mine has produced very rich ore, and there is no doubt that it will do so again.
 A rich strike of ore is reported to have been made recently in the Tiger mine. A body of ore five feet in width was struck which gives an average value of aO ounces in silver. In sinking winze a smaller body was struck which goes l,0OO ounces in silver There is little doubt but the Tiger will prove bonanza to its owners.
 G. K. W. McSary and his son. Dick, are still working as vigorously as possible in the development of their quicksilver property in Cop per Basin. They have a number of small openings made on various DOT tions of their claims, of which they have thirteen or fourteen locations. Cinnabar is found in all the open ings made yet, varying in richness from 50 to 70 per cent. in quicksil- yer, down. Recent assays of samples gave value in quicksilver of 70 per cent, the ore from which it was taken being found in considerable quantities. The deepest shaft sunk Is B feet, and they propose to con tinue this to a depth of 5O feet at present. An experienced QuicksiI- yer miner visited their camp recent ly and stated that he had worked in the quicksilver mines of California and was familiar with the properties, and that surface indications in the McNary group were far better than any he had seen in California. If surface indications count for any thing, there is little doubt but McNary and son have quicksilver property equal to anything yet dis covered on the Pacific coast.
 Apropos of the rich strike of ore in the Tiger mine, one is reminded of the oft repeated assertion, of ex- perienced mining men, that the great l mineral belt of Arizona is to be found in the Bradshaw mountains. Among the we'll developed mines there the Crowned King takes the lead as there is larger body of ore exposed to view in this property than in any other property in that section. The | ore is being worked in a ten stamp mill and is very rich. The old Peck in the same region has produced over H. 100000 The Black Warrior and Silver Prince have each been large producers of mineral. The Del Pasco. the old Reliable and sur rounding group of mines are rich also. The Rapid Transit has been developed by several hundred feet of tunnel, winzes, shafts, etc., by Jacob Henkle, and there are thousands of dollars in sight in the property. There are numerous other properties. with more or less development made, in the same section, and there are few claims upon which any great of work has been done that ! does not open up pretty rich in | mineral. The Bradshaw mountains | in a very few years will support a of thousands.
 F. H. Witherell located Q num- Der of claims on the western slope of the Black Hills some time since which promise to develop into valu- able properties. The find, like many others, was made through accident. The heavy rains of last winter wash ed some of the ore down into the valley, which was found accidental nd col, ! about S2OO. Prospecting for the ledge was then commenced, and after nearly months search 1t was found and work commenced on it. The shaft is now down forty feet and in 3 solid body of ore it's entire size. At 30 feet deep drift was run 20 feet, and a cross-cut was run to de- termine the width of the ledge. This ,rosscut showed it to be from I2 to IA feet wide, the ore across the en- tire length giving an average of D per cent. copper and l2 ozs. in silver. claim has been named the 'Silent Friend" It is located near the foot of the western slope of the Black Hills range, and in a direct line about six or seven miles distant from he United Verde mines. It is near he lime kilns of the Lynx Creek Hy- iraulic Co.,, and the formation in nearly every respect resembles very closely that of the eastern slope of he mountain where the United Verde mines are. MT. Witherell has already refused very tempting offer 'or the property.
