 Major W. A. Rowe is still al work on the Shelton group Of mines in the Lynx Creek district. and he re- ports the property looking splendid. He has recnntly struck a very large chute of good gold ore on one of the claims in a new shaft which hs IS sinking.
 John :. Jones is sinking a we'll on Big Bug, with excellent prospects of obtaining a water supply, which, added to what he has at present, wIll enable him to run his mill the entire year. He proposes to sink fifty feet and then cross cut across the creek.
 G. K. W. McNary brought in about g worth of gold yesterday in bottle, which he said had been pounded out of two pounds of rock from a mine which is being worked by him and his son near Skull valley.

 Water is reported becoming very scarce in Martinez creek, from which the Congress obtains it's supply for it's mill The Congress managers have been drifting under the creek, on bed rock, for the purpose of increasing the supply, and have partially succeeded, but the outlook is not encouraging and the mill may have to be closed down yet this month for lack of water.
 Sam Hill, who recently took a party of mining men into Tonto Basin, reports that district as being quite active. Two mills are running in the district. J. I. Coleman's is running on custom ore, while the Lackawapns is running on ore from the mine of the same name. William Murphy is developing a claim owned by him and Dennis Burke. The Zulu IS idle at present. The parties who accompanied Mir. Hill went to examine it and were highly pleased with it. The general out look ot the district is very encour- aging.

During he time that they were saving the lbove mentioned bar of bullion. several thousand dollars worth of l concentrates were saved and shipped 1 while part of the ore is rich | 'nough for shipment without mill | ng.
 Just as Jacob Henkle and D. F. succeeded in opening up | heir Rapid Transit silver mine, in | he Bradshaw mountains, to an ex- ent that it could be placed among he dividend payers, silver took a tumble, and they have been com. 'elled to let it lie idle until the ,rasp of the gold monopolists is re- eased from the throat of the silver industry. While the Rapid Transit les idle, the enterprising ex-sheriff f Yavs pal county has not been idle ut has secured good gold claim in 1ynx Creek district and is engaged n working It energetically. He has 'Ood prospects of retrieving from his property what he spent on his liver mine.
