 The recent strike of gold ore in the Agua Fria district continues to attract considerable attention. Par ties just in from there state that the reports have not been exaggerated in the least, but that it promises to be one of the most important ever made in this section.
 J. R. Slack and son and Joseph Mayer continue development work on their Yankee Girl claim, and are taking out very rich ore. Mir. Slack owns another claim near the Yankee Girl, which gives promise of being as good a claim as any in the dis trict.
 ]. s. Jones was in town today to purchase 2,500 feet of pipe for use in conveying water to his mill at Chapparai Gulch. He has an abund- ance of ore to keep his mill busy for several months, but has expeT- fenced scarcity of water. He has discovered a spring recently, from which he thinks he will be able to obtain an unfailing supply of water.
 A strike of exceedingly rich ore is reported to have been made recently in the Agua Fria. about six miles from the McCabe mine. The lucky finder is a man named Thornton and another party whose name was not learned. The ore is said to go $2,000 in gold. It is so valuable that it is spread on wagon sheets as it is taken out.
 Another rich strike has been made in the Harqua Halas, or rather two old claims which had been all but worked out, have recently devel- oped into paying property. They are the Carmelita and the Sore Finger, both owned by Mrs. J. G. Campbell. A. J. Porterie yes terdaY made an assay of ore taken from tue two mines. The Carmelita ore ran Sl03 in gold and the Sore Finger Sl0I. The claims are situa- ted near Harrisburg, about six miles this side of the Bonanza. The ore of the kind from which the assays were made is found in heavy deposits. -Phenix Republican.
 ]. A. Park is considered one of the coolest and most level headed Inin- CTS in the country. He has never been known to become excited over anything in the shape of mineral finds, but he came in yesterday from the Hassayampa mining district considerably agitsted over a rich find made there. Some time since he found rich float, and has been prospecting for the ledge from which it came. His efforts were re- warded a few days since by finding a twelve inch vein, the ore from which goes all the way from $l6O to 500 in gold. The claim will ba thoroughly prospected. It is named the James G. Blaine.
 A correspondent at Walnut Grove writes as follows: ~The Red Buck is working four men at present, but will increase the force as soon as they get ground broken to make room for more. They are down 4O feet and have their shaft all tim bered solid to the top. Mir. Brady deserves great credit for the way he is managing this property. In the near future believe the Red Buck will be one of the leading properties of this county. There are other mines in this neighborhOod that would pay men with capital to open up. There ought to be two hundred men employed within five miles of here, instead of about ten, as as present."
