During days sojourn at Harsha1
 last week l noted fsw facte which una,
 prove of public interest Ina World:
 Fair Mine, merely n prospect tne year
 ago, IS one If the most pr. mipent in the
 camp, ccmng up to the fGll measure Ct
 expectation on the Ia of it's fortunate
 owner. Frank Powers. Tne main shaft
 IS now SU It. deep, and a tunnel He 1t, | m length -tO connect herewith IS being
 run aud lacks but 10 1t. cf comple ton
 The first shtpmeBt, three months ago
 yielded NJ. Powers over 5000. sirca which he has made other shipments of smaller lots. He Is the owner of the
 Mountain Chief when Is being operated by Messrs. Ssiiers ant $ sniori under a l lease
 Frank seems to have tapped the foun-
 tain of perenial youth through thls fiDan- clal strike and recen mt participation in ma-
 trlmonial sweets. He looks n years younger than last year, and says he feels it.
 Chas. Powers, G. F. Spencer, J. W .
 Hubbard ar d Tom Davies arS about to commence on another Hermosa lease. The Hsrmoea Mill has been temporari- ly closed down awaiting an accumula- tion of ore. Thls mill is owned by the veteran miner, James Finley, who is also proprietor of the great mine of the same name Frank Fitzsimmons, manag- CT.
 A. J. MatCey and k. E. Lee have also a lease on the Hermosa. Wm. GIttens and Charley Huds are working the Salvador under lease and making some money.
 Warrington, Tom Ellis, and Capt. Alvaoerg have lease on the Janu.ry, one Cf the oldest and best mines in tf e district. A recent shipment assayed 50 Cz., silver. and 50 per cent lead.
 The Harshaw silver club claims a mem bersnip Of abOu: loo. The willy politicians need not apply. A strad- der of the silver question IS sure to get left so far as Harshaw is concerned.
 There are enormous quantities If ore in thls district, which, however, is of too low grade for proitabe shipment or for milling On the ground at the present low price of silver. When the tlce,whlch IS HOW against the great lver mInng irdustry Is turned, orce more ii tIsCaw IS certain 10 become booming tamp Rndwill last for many years.
 There seems to be general opposition here, as IT. all mining sections I have visited, to tne theory of as, ssing unpat- ented claims. The validity IS not ooly seriously questioned, but will doubtless te tested m the courts should the tax gatherer attempt to levy for this pur- pose.
 Dick Farrel, the enterprising merch- ant and hotel keeper of Harshaw IS still doing as large and lucrative a business as ever. He IS mentioned as a probable candidate for the next legislature. The Democrats or Southern Pima could not probably name a more representative citizen Of this district, and should be Ue
 influenced to accept the responsibility, wOu d doQ btless reflect credit upon his constituents.
 Mining matters are progressing qciet- ly tt the Ola Muwry, while at Wash Ington CImp, ten miles above Harehtw, was informed the outlook IS better than Tor some years past. The H JIlaCd which was opened last year by York < CO.is now. being worBe d Oy a force under L. H. Tal Tor, employing a b1ddie and ygs, to which Mr. Iay Tor has ided an Improvement, by which 1t IS claimed he can do Jhe work ou larger SC le and more successfully with a gwen amount of labor than formerly. IL IS reported that Roy & Titcomt Of Nogales. ana Otners, are interested in ts- mire. and that stock com Dany will Oe organized by them in the near future to operate il.
 Sincs the collapse of the Du-Quesne Company three yt ars Fgo, very 1t ie has o-sn done at Washi' gton iill recently. The concentrating ana milling plant started by thls compauy was never completed. One year ago. however. through 2 instrumentation Cf D. Ban man and G. H Brooks, q market has been opened up for tie refractory ores of the camp. From l50 to 200 tors ot shipping ore IS DOW beng extracted monthly, whereas this guaBt,Ey, 1t is 1 said, may easily be taken out daily, sn l abundant IS it and comparatively easy of access The ora is sulphide of lead | copper, zinc, and some iron, with from | 20 to B oZ. silver. A far average of l the latt 1T ranges from 26 to 30 oz. The | haul to CrIttenden c,sts S7 per ton ire Ght; to Colorado SS. and treatment i charge from Sl0 10 II. This IS the mos, | prominent ore ia the camp. There ara also large bodies of simIiiar ore With | more rocky matter, requiring conc ntra- | ton Tor shipment. Another shipping | ore is an oxide of zinc. lead and copper. runUing from F 10 If per cent lead. the | same ID copper, lIttls zinc, and 9J oun 1 ces silver; then there IS oxide of COD. per carrying from 20 to 30. ounces sIl- Yer. The Belmont, about the oldest patented niue in Arizona, provides a red ore, carbonate of gs!ena and oxide, running from 20 to 60 per cent lead, and 20 to ll0 oz silver, mHk- lng 1t profitable slipping ore, even at the high price of transportation anC low price of materials. The names of the shipping mines are the Holland, Pride 1f he West, Silver Bell and Belmont. A few others make occasional shipments D. BaumaL, manager of the Belmont. -old me that Washington district shows IS massive ore bodies as even did Lead -ille, but that the great bulk of the mineral requires concentration at the ;amp. Experiments. as we'll as actual work, now carried on with the aid ot '1me of the machinery of the old Du- luesne O.. demonstrates that he lead sulphjde in the ores carry most of the silver and will 'eadily coDcen trates into a 100 ounce product
 Iu view of the facts stated above, the Iuery might arise, why has this camp lot come to the tront long ago? to which the reply IS easily gwen, that the Cameron grant cloud has rested over be property all these years and carItal- sts are 10th 10 develop mines under uch circumstances. The pro spect IS now ,ood, however. that ihe title will soon )s settled, and he it her for or against ' he grant, the final dec sion can scarcely : ofhor than favora ahio tO |
