Another producing mine will thus soon be placed to the credit of Pima county.--Florence Tribune.
 A telegram from Webb City, Missouri, says: A strange phenom- enon exists on a mining lot near this city. The lot is being worked by Blanton X Wyatt. At the depth of thirty nine feet the temperature rose and became so warm as to make existence in the shaft almost impossible. An air-blast from above was arranged and the work was continued. At seventy feet the ore became so hot as to burn the hands of the miners when they came in contact with it. The shaft was abandoned and new one started. The same phenoms non was encountered and in third shaft heat again stopped the work. The phenomenon exists on none of the numerous lots about 1t and no | explanation for it can be given.
 The miners of Yavapai county are i offered an excellent opportunity of placing samples of their ores before probable purchasers by the Worlds lair commissioner, whose card ap- pears in another column, and they should avail themselves of this priv lege. Such an opportunity for ad- 7ertising the mining resources of ,ur county has never before been offered. Each sample of ore exhibi- ed will have attached to it card showing the location and ownership ,f the mine and the value of the ore exhibited. This places the address ,f the mine owner in the hands of he probable purchaser and will un ioubtedly be the means of bringing great deal of capital into Arizona.
