 Three large teams, loaded with
 merchandise, and fifteen or twenty men will leave for the Hillside mine tomorrow. This camp promises to become very lively one this sum- mer.
 Reports from the Mark Twain say
 that Nels Gable made rich strike on that property last week. This mine adjoins the Blue Dick, and shipment of ore will shortly be made

 More work is being done on mines on the Hassayampa, and more men to do 1t, than at any time in the his tory of that section. On every claim and in every gulch one will meet . he miner working industriously. and the good they are accomplish I ng toward the general prosperity ,f this section is incalculable.
