Sines X Smith have contracted to run a fifty-ton lot of ore in their Cherry creek mill for Frank Howard.
 Roundtree and Marsh have taken a six months bond and lease on Frank Biffar's Jessie R. and Yellow Jacket claims, on Cherry creek.
 Machinery for twenty stamp mill was shipped a few days ago from Congress station to the Desert mine, near Harqua Hala.
 The strike in the Crown King is even richer than at first supposed. The ore being worked in the mill averages from $50 to S200 per ton. The vein is five feet wide.
 Farley & Kay have about con- sumated the sale of their mining properties situated on Humbug creek, to F. r. Carson who has men on the ground at present working the mines on a bond subsequent to sale.
 W. II. Ferguson was in town to- day with some fine samples of ore from the Long Tom mine, on Slate creek. on which the assessment work IS being done. They have an ore body from twelve to sixteen inches wide on the property.
 DIring a recent visit to Mt. A Asassiz, one of the peaks of the San francisco mountains, Prof. James discovered some rare specimens of topaz and the Flagstaff Democrat reports that he discovered a ledge of that article near the summit.
 Positive information has been re- eeived here of an enormously rich strike in the Crowned King. The vein is four feet of solid ore, assay ing from S40 to S106 per ton. One shot revealed immense quantities of ore far richer than ever before en- countered in this already famous mine. It Is situated in the Brad shaw district about 8 miles south of Prescott.
 H. l.. Scott has a shaft down forty feet on his Comet mine, and has about two feet of good ore exposed in it. He has just let a contract for sinking this loo feet deeper. MT.

 The value of the mineral pro ducts of the United States is greater than that of all other countries in the world combined. The skill and knowledge acquired in affecting this vast production are recorded in the pages of the Engineering and Min ing Journal of New York, which for over a quarter of century has been not only the leading but practically the only paper in America devoted to the engineering arts of mining and metallurgy, and the marketing of mineral products.

 W. A. Clark, superintendent of the Planet Saturn mine, has twenty men at work on the property. He has been sinking two shafts, 2S0 feet apart, and the value of the ore has exceeded their expectations. At a depth of sixty feet in shaft number 1, body of water was encountered of such volume that 1t was impossi- ble to handle it with windlsss, and a steam hoist, with a capacity of sinking 1000 feet, has been securedi and Is now being put up. Shaft number 2 has whim on it and is down fifty feet.
 The Planet-Saturn Mining com panv is pushing work on their prop erty. Shaft number one, or the main shaft, is down sixty-one feet. At this depth volume of water has been encountered which necessitates the putting in of pumping plant. The ore taken out is first grade mill ing ore. The ledge averages three feet in width and the value is Sl4.90
