 WHAT ARIZONA MINES ARE DOING
 Henry Murphy is at work dsvel- oping . claim near Jerome, which gives promise of becoming a very valuable property. Good ore has been taken from the vein.
 Quite extensive operations are be- ing made in the plant at Copper Basin. About forty-five carpenters arc employed at present.
 Mir. Pratt, connected with . Big Bug mining enterprise, came in oa Saturday evenings stage via Castle Creek and left for Big Bug today to start up his mill.
 E. Burgess brought in $s,500 bar of bullion yesterday from the Yarnsli mine. The min continues to run on part time only owing to a scarcity of water. The mine con tinues to show up good ore.
 II. Blauvelt is in from the Brad shaws, where he in engaged in work ing the Gladiator mine. He has just completed mill run of fifty tons, realizing x2,l00 from it. A former run of fifty-four tons yielded $500, from which it will be seen that the property is in . very prom ising condition. They are now down to depth of 350 feet and arc running several levels drifting on the vein. The ore is gold sulphurets.
 MT. Greenwood, who went to Mo have county recently, to examine new style ore crusher, in use at the c. O. D. mine, with a view of pur- chasing . similar one to be placed on the Castle creek mines of D. Me Cool, returned yesterday. He seems to be we'll pleased with the machine, having remained two or three days to witness it in operation. and one will probably be erected on the sbove property.
 Governor F. A. Tritle is reported to have made . strike of very rich ore out on the Hassayampa near the Howard mine. The JOURNAL MINER was unable to see him, as he went out early this morning to the scene of his new find, but learned from others that that the ore was very rich and there seemed to be 6 con siderable quantity of it. He is re- ported to have found a shaft sup posed to have been worked by the prehistoric race that occupied this country as he found seven stone hammers and other implements of stone in it. He has tho greatest faith himself in his new discovery as he remarked this morning that he would not take $200,0W for his chances on it.
 A "Mining Congress" on a small scale should be held in Arizona this fall. While it would not necessa- rily call for the expenditure of large amount of money it wonld be of much benefit in securing capital for the development of our mining industries. The question of secur- ing sufficient money to develop the thousands of rich prospects in Ari- zona is daily assuming more i'm portant aspect, and an organized effort will have to be made in this direction m order to put men and machinery at work on every legiti- mate claim in Arizona. A mining congress for Arizona, properly ad- vertised and conducted, would re- suit in securing more dollars for de- yelopment purposes than is at first apparent to the casual observer. Let Arizona have one by all means and let it be done the coming fall, even if it does have to be done by private funds. There is no dou bt but what our people would all be willing to ''chip in" their share in a matter of this kind, and such a move would meet with popular favor.-- Phenix Herald.
 From Col. Brodie, who has been at the Hillside mine doing some work for the company, we learn that the Hillside is going to be one of the largest camps in the territory, and one of the largest bullion pro- ducers of the county; that the mine is in good shape and is we'll han died under the superistendency of Mir. Rickard and foremanship of Mir. Wm. Corners, and that small i've stamp mill under Mr. Wm. Halls management is doing good l service and is turning out large | quantities of concentrates. Col. | Brodie has implicit faith in the | great success of the Hillside under the present management, a success that means much to Prescott, and which will have a tendency to at tract other large companies desiring paying mining properties to this section. Twenty additional stamps are on the way to be erected at the which means an output from the mine in the near future five lines as great as at present. Mining s being done in a systematic and business way, fine body of high grade ore now showing in the stopes ,n the south level, while new and better strikes have lately been made in those to the north. The Hill side has the best wishes of all for ts continued success and pros oerity,
 The Phenix Gazette has the follow ng to say concerning a Yavapai coun- " mining enterprise. "Another load If machinery went out yesterday for he Rich Hill Placer company at Stanton, in Yavapai county. This under the superintendency ,f Mir.

Bates Brothers if New York, the projectors of the he Walnut Grove dam scheme. are t the bottom of 1t and the work will 'e pushed to completion. The ompany will construct big dam n the creek below the Genung bring, about two miles below Stan. on, to catch water with which to Juice the rich gravel beds below The spring itself furnishes four miners inches of water all tho year pund.
