MINING INTELLIGENCE.
Some Interesting DOlnSS in the Various
 Districts Surrounding This City.
What Old Producers are Doing and NGtsS
 From New Discoveries.

The original Harqua Hala claims, SO reports say is to be abandoned, and other near by claims belonging to that syndicate, are to be operated on.
 The Coarse Gold mine, formerly known as the Mexican mine, near Wickenburg, is again turning out many handsome gold nuggets from its 30-foot quartz ledge.
 Silver is reported discovered in Ohio, but not at a political conven- tion. Alleged silver ore was found by we'll diggers last week at Canal Dover, at a depth of l45 feet.
 Since the passage of the new Mon tana law requiring mining corpora tions to pay fee of S5.50 for each thousand dollar subscribed capital, the mining companies incorporated in that state are not inclined to pay from Sl 900 to Sl 500 in official fees, aud the capital stock is placed at a very moderate figure.
 Scotty Thompson has struck a foot of very rich ore in his Mascott mine, just above Dan O'Boyle's camp. The ore goes Sl00 per ton and is free milling ore. He will have it worked at the Quartz noun tain mill. Parties who worked the mine on a lease recently followed a seam where the ledge broke instead of following the ledge and missed this ore body.
 Frank Theising, a recent arrival here from Oregon, mention of whom has already been made in these col umns in connection with a mining enterprise in Agua Fria district, has purchased a mining claim, water power and arastra from George Zika. It is located on Turkey creek about four miles from Cordes station. Mir. Zika has made good money out of the mine in past years working the ore in the aTastra.
 Quite an important mining enter prise has recently been undertaken by Hopkins & Dart in Skull valley, in working the Morning Glory group of ten mines, near that point and we are pleased to say suc- cess is following their efforts. The above parties have secured a lease and bond on these mines and at present have quite force at work developing them. They are also running the Rubert mill day and night and feel somewhat enthusi- astic over the output. The mines being worked are old time proper ties, being apparently dug out years ago.
 New Orleans capitalists have be- come interested with Gov. R. c. Powers and A. J. Doran in the Model mine in Peoples valley and a force of men will be placed at work next Monday developing the prop erty. It is their intention to thoroughly explore and develop the claim and if sufficient ore is obtained to justify it a mill will be erected to work the ore. The Model has pro- duced some of the richest gold ore ever obtained in any mine in Ari- zona. It has only been developed down to water level ank its owners are confident of obtaining rich ore at greater depth.
 George Waddell is in town today from the new copper camp south of town and says that there is the great est activity there on the part of the owners of mining claims in the dis .rict. He says that there have been eighteen locations made thus far, two or three of which were made prior to July 1, when the new law went into effect. The others have been made since the new law went into effect and the locators are con- sequently at work doing the amount of work required for recording their notices. Mir. Waddell and his part her, c. J. McNulty, are at work pros pecting their claims, as is also MT. Bagby. The latter has a tunnel in 5S feet. He is doing dead work and will be required to run over 30 feet more before he strikes the ledge. MT. Waddell had lot of very choice ore in town from his claims. The indications are very promising for the camp developing into one of the largest in the county. The claims are located on Copper creek about five or six miles in a southeasterly direction from Copper basin, and strange as it may appear, although on all sides by mining claims, this section has never been prospected before to amount to any
