 The Jersey Lily people are hay ing 100 tons of ore worked at the Senator mill
 Geo. W. Sines brought in another bar of bullion yesterday from his Cherry creek mines. His mill is giving good satisfaction.
 The Mescal milling company has contracted to work 400 tons of ore from the Jersey Lily mine on which work has already commenced.
 The Last Chance mill is still run ming, and is giving good satisfse- ton. The company expects Co put in ten more stamps and a steam hoist soon on the mine.
 The mill on the Last Chance mine four miles west of Prescott has been started up under favorable conditions and is working very sat- isfactorily. James Shirley brought in small bar of bullion today taken from the plates from a two days run.
 The Desert mine, situated about fifteen miles west of Harrisburg, and which was recently purchased l by eastern capitalists for Sl0,OOO, is being actively operated. The ma chinery is on the way for a twenty stamp mill, which will immediately he erected and which will be in- creased to forty stamps shortly. This property it is thought wlll soon rival the bonanza.
 A financial paper states that the shipments of silver bullion from London to China since January lst have increased Sl,545,000 over that of the same time in 1894, beng a gain of nearly 40 per cent. Thus it seems that while England IS absorb ing gold. China absorbs silver. lt is time that the United States began to absorb common sense, and quit allowing England to dictate cur f. nancial policy.
 How many places in the United States can one count where a stranger may land in town virtually broke, yet with rocker may 80 out to some gulch and in a few days work be able to pan himself out a grub stakei They are few indeed, but iu the very lead Prescott may be named. On Lynx creek, Big Bug. the Hassayampa. in Skull valley, along Granite creek, a little indus try will reward the rustling man with enough dust to pay for cloth ing and supplies. As a Tennessee tourist would say, "Sich kentry ez thet ez wuth tyin' tu".
 The dawn of brighter day for ! 4. W. Callen seems to be breaking. He has staid by his Placeritas min. ing camp for years, with an abiding and unshaken faith in the merits of his property. Some time since he organized a company in Chicago for the purpose ot working the proper ties but through one cause and another work was delayed. A few days since c. T. Picard and l.. H. Heron, of this company arrived here and they have milf now on the way. to place on the group of mines. They left yesterday for Placeritas to build a wagon road to ] the mines, and the sound of an ore crushing mill will soon be heard in Placeritas camp.
 The Old Dominion Copper Com pany has passed into other hands This is one of the grandest and most extensive mining properties on the Pacific coast. For many years it has been almost a continu- ous producer, and a recent examina- ton by the purchasers has demon strated the fact that the mine, as an ore producer, is still in its prime. While regretting the demise of the old company, which has so long been identified with the interests of the country, let us hope the new or ganization will be equally as sue cessful and that the little town of Globe will speedily don its old-time activity, It is situated in the cen ter of one of the finest mining dis tricts on the earth, and with the incoming of the new railroad and resumption of work in the Old Dominion, there is every reason to believe that within this year 1t will be one of the most prosperous camps on the coast. - Arizona Citizen.
 The Harqua Hala mines have re- sumed operation but with a com paratively small force of men. It is not known whether the ore body has been again uncovered but it is thought not, as the prospecting drills are still at work aud the su- periutendent but day or two ago was overheard to say that he in- tended to spend a large sum of money in prospect work before he abandoned the property. The tanks for the cyanide process with which the tailings will be worked are al- most completed and it is expected l that within a week or ten days that l process will be in active working OF the tailings. The company is now receiving nearly all their freight l over the north and south road and hauling it to the mine from Con- gress Junction. Mir. I. Hester, who | has had the contract of hauling freight from he $. P. at Aztec, has | taken off all his teams but eight, 1 which make weekly trips from Aztec | to the mine, and is operated as an l 
 The Phenix Republican has the following concerning a very prom ising mine in this county which has received frequent mention in this paper: The Planet mine in Fools gulch, three miles from Con- gress station, is new strike and is believed to be the richest in the ter ritory. It Is not entirely new, how ever, as it was located two or three years ago and afterwards given up
