 Eugene Desty has discovered an immense placer deposit several miles below Fort Mohave. It is said that anyone can make from three dollars to ten dollars per day with rocker. The gold is heavy and easily saved. From the head waters of the Colorado to the Gulf California gold is found in paying uuantities.-Mohave Miner.
 LukeIand Kirkland have recently shipped car load of silver ore to Fl Paso from the Eclipse mine in the Bradshaw mountains. This is one oi the great mines of the territory, as ore that is shipped goes from 100 to 800 ounces to the ton. The vein IS three feet, but of couse the entire ledge is not so rich. The high pay streak varies considerably, but as a sample, four men in one month took out ore that in one car load netted $S,000. The Eclipse is but one and one-half miles from the Crowned King, a gcod gold mine. Luke and Kirkland propose now to work the mine, and even at the low price ot silver a handsome sum is netted.
 Senator Langford, Judge F. T. Baldwin and J. A. Wilson, owners with G. NJ. Bowers of the Night hawk mine, were out to look at that property Monday. They have en- gagged Thomas McMahon, one of | the best miners in the county, as superintendent and have started up work on the property. A pump will be put in and a winze sunh from the lower tunnel level to a depth of one hundred feet. The mine will be thoroughly prospectec to this depth. It IS thought that { large sized concentrator mill will be erected on the mine before the first of the year. The Nighthawk is one of the best properties on the coast -Mohave Miner.

 Arizona has countless fine gold prospects, and the near future will find her the leading gold producing section of the union. 4 few years ago the Harqua Hala district began to attract public attention, and up to date has been in many respects a marvellous gold producer. The Bo- nanza mines are among the best known gold properties in the coun, try, and the adjacent lodes are look ed upon by speculators as promising for speculative purposes at least Harry Nevin, one of the old time prospectors, is the fortunate owner of the Harqua Hala. The Golden Slipper is an extension of the great million and a quarter dollar mine owned by an English syndicate, Harry Nevin located this rich claim, and has sunk shaft 65 feet deep all the way in good rich ore, with a vein 2 to 2 feet in thickness and of an average value of S22 per ton. Considering the free milling qual- ities of this ore, it is another Bo- manga. While it has not yet reached the prominence attained by the Bonanza, it is probably an equally good claim. It is one more evidence of the marvellous richness of the central Arizona belt of gold mines, the richest on earth, unless it be in South Africa, and it is almost certain the Arizona gold field is not only more extensive, but much richer than the famous gold fields of the Dark Continent. Each year developeS new properties, not one but many, that pay from the grass roots. There is one thing about Arizona mines, a poor man can operate them just as we'll as a rich one, as the good ore in most cases reaches near the sur face. A notable example of this is the Mammoth mine at Goldfield, where Hall and Sullivan took out sufficient gold ore and shipped it to Denver, to buy the mine and erect a mill also. This is not a scratch, as the territory has mary claims just as promising as was the Mammoth, and the Golden Slipper is one of them.-Gazette.
