dropped. There are twenty chlo-
 riders working in the mine, aud
 they are said to be making from
 Sl0 to Sl5 per day to the man. A
 clean up will soon be had.
 Charles O'Malley and J. ..
 Stephens left to day for Castle
 creek on mining business. A new
 aud very rich discovery is reported
 from mine in that section in
 which MT. 0'Malley has an interest
 and he goes to take look at 1t.
 Fred Rowe and partner arrived
 last night from the Hassayampa
 region where they have bsen chlo-
 riding and placering. Tkey brought
 in several hundred dollars in gold
 dust aud say the country is full of
 water everywhere and placer miners
 coming in.
 Colin Timmons, superintendent
 Of the Gladiator, is in town and
 brings news of an important nature ] from that camp in the discovery of
 big vein of orc The new strike was in the third level of the main [ shaft and is described beautiful
 body of ore, six feet in width that
 wilt go Sl7 a ton. The mill is run
 ming steadily and the mina with the
 new strike IS described as a verit- able bonanza.
 The good effects oI ne recent rains are now to bo felt, aai twenty miners left town today loaded down with grub. pans, pick, aud | shoyeis bound for yarions gulches
 near this city Co work a, placer
 mining. An abun1gncs of water Is
 now assured for many months and
 no doubt some good ground will be run onto in consequence. Tho amount of gold dust that IS sold in 1 Prescott even during the dry sea son will ruu into the thousands annually, aud the ncxt sixty days should witness the taking out of at
 least ten thousand dollars more 1 judging from the great number of
 miners there arc now in the hills aud the excellent condition of the country everywhere.
 News received from Lynx creek is of a very yellowish hued nature and has completely upset one com pany working there. IL is of a strike in Ons of tle mines of the Denver company oper- ating under the superiuteudeacy of Mir. Morse, and has completely upset ] the management. While sinking one of the shafts at depth ol s20 feet q 5-foot vein of ore was run into i that plated so to the tol, besides ! giving good returns in co Icentraies. ! The ore came in sud ienly and ] gives indications of maintaining its size and value as greater depth Is reached. This strike ls oue of the ! biggest to yet take place ia mining | in this section, and goes to demon strate above everything else in that ! line, what may result in ali claims around Prescott when they are sunk on and opened. The strike Sas made on one ot the claims recently ] purchased from Judge Griffin, who ! has staid with the creek for over p years and still has claims ot his own ! there.
 Hon. John $, Jones girss out the | information that he will commence soon adding additional stamps to
 his Chaparral mill aud before sum-
 mer is gone will have sixty stamps dropping on ore from his yariou claims. The present water supply ! at his camp is insufficient for even | the .ea stamps he has now in opera ! tlon, but this evil will ha overcome
 by the development of water which will be prosecuted in ueaF-by stream where an abundant supply { for the entire year Is assared. Hs also intends to erect nauy new and substantial buildings, in short to completely regenerate the camp in ! its architectural appearance. When
 1t comes to downright push iu min- ing affairs, and the successful hand-. ling of any proposition ia this fine, Mfr. Jones may be said to oe on top
 and deserves much praise in not only building up his section but | giving likewise our mineral re- sources that stability and prOmi-
 nence We ali wish to convey par ticulaTly to outsiders.
 One of the heaviest mining deals
 to sake place in recent years in ! Arizona, in which two prominent and untiring mining men ot Pres colt figure, and WBo are on tue eve l of reward by a handsome return for | their labors to benefit aud promote ! the industry, is given publicity to- day. It Is tho bonding of the Pal-
 metto group of mines, owned by ! Vanderbilt and Palmer, of this city, ! to Leonard Sawyer. of Bu8alo, New | York, the consideration named bsiug ! S6oO00, and the time set for pay
 ment, six months hence. The prop perty affected is situated ia tic l PIomosa rauge of mountains, near | Tyson's We'll, un the old Ehrenburg road, aud Is known as the cement i deposits, being covered by placer | locat ons. and comprise m number six claims. They are not new dis coyeries, being known tO the mining
 fraternity of Arizona for several
 years, on account of their richnt ss 1 and the peculiar geological condi- 1 tions attached to them. The claims
 have been thoroughly and system
 atically prospected, and in 0very l test made, the same uniform results
 have been given in free gold. While
 these claims have not had the
 usual amount work done on them
 to accurately determine the exact
 extent of the depth of the cement,
 it is, nevertheless known that they
 will go down solidly from 10 to p
 feet, and give in return from Sl0 to
 S15 per ton in free gold. An advan-
 tage this property has over quartz IS
 that the cost of mining and reduc-
 ing the same is far less in the former
 than in the latter. Mir. Sawyer has
 just returned from these fields with
 his experts, and gives such aattering
 reports of his investigations, that
 the closing up of the preliminary | ,nattars in tha sale was reouested by
