 W. X. Long is taking out ore from his mine which goes over 800 ounces in silver and contains several dol- lars in gold. He is arranging to ship 1t as soon as railroad connec- tion is opened up again.
 MesSrs. Cordiner * Hoover, own CTS of the Mineral Point mine, in Chaparral district, have a notice in this issue in regard to the non- liability of their property, now being worked under lease.
 The lessees of the Mineral Point mine, in Chaparral, struck a rich chute of ore recently. A portion of the ore goes Sl0O per ton, while taken clear across the ledge, which is four feet wide, it will average $50 per ton.
 A. J. Rubert has made arich strike of ore in the Hassayampa district, near Holiday x Cages mine. He has only sunk three feet on the claim, but in going that dis tance, the ore widened out from a thickness of one foot to nearly three. The ore is decomposed sul phurets, and will go away up in the hundreds per ton.
 \. B. Lewis who was in town to- day. reports that he recently dis covered a ledge in Chaparral for which prospectors have been look ing for about twenty years. Float has been repeatedly found, but all efforts heretofore to locate the claim has proven futile. It is a blind lead and Mir. Lewis has taken some very rich ore from it.
 The machinery for the Red Buck mill is all on the ground now and masons were sent out to-day to build the foundation for the engine and boiler. The pipe line to the mill has been completed, so that nothing remains now but to get the machinery in place to start up the mill.

The JoURNAL-MINER'S inform ant stated that he is taking 1t out in slabs as thick as a mans hand of nearly pure gold. The discovery has caused great excitement in the q strict. The mine is owned by F. NJ. Murphy and others, and Is being worked by Mir. Randall under lease.
 The Phenix Herald has the fol- lowing concerning one of the i'm portant mining distncts of this county: The Humbug mining district is rapidly coming to the front as one of the richest in the territory. The Golden Cliff Gold Mining and Milling Company. re- gently organized for the purpose of developing and mining six claims in that district which are said to be very rich. They are free milling properties and the company are now negotiating for fifty stamp mill which will be placed on the claims and active operations commenced. Last week Dr. Slade, of Phenix, Hon. 4. J. Doran, of Florence, John Brockman, President of the First National Bank of Silver City, k. F. \. Penrose, a noted mining engineer and Metalurgis,l of Philadelphia. and Mr. Crawford, mining man of Silver City, visited that district to investigate some mining properties. The claims looked at are high grade and average S60. Samples from the properties have been taken east by the gentlemen and when the real value of the claims determined, a large force of men will be put to work and the mines developed. There are a number of other rich claims in this district which have been worked at a profit for years with arastras and now that improved machinery is going in and men of experience and money taking hold it will not be very long before that district will take a place at the head of the gold producing districts of the Territory.
