MINING NE ws.

Several locations of mines in the Dragons are coming in and more developments in copper mining may be looked for
 The Last Chance copper mine in the Grand Canon of the Colorado is re- ported developing very richly, the ore improving greatly with depth. It is owned by Flagstaff parties.
 The Congress Gold Mining company has machinery on the ground to erect a cyanide plant of a capacity of three hundred tons daily. One hundred tons day are now being treated.
 At La Colorado, Tuesday of last week, an explosion of dynamite oc- cured at the Amarillas mine, killing two men, one American and one Mex ican. At this writing the names Of both are unknown.
 In Yayapai county the workings Of the Kimbal mine have just passed through a porphyry horse thirty-fye feet thick, at depth of lS2 feet. At this point the distance between walls is six feet eight inches of good talcose gangue. containing an eleven inch pay streak of free milling gold ore yielding sl6 per ton.
 A Chicago company has bonded some very promising gold mines about five miles west of the Congress and started to work. The Cleveland and MoclSer are the principal mines in the group. The Cleveland has two 75-foot shafts and large body of quartz, some of which is very high grade. The Mockcr carries a large vein from four to five feet wide Some ore has been taken from this ledge which assayed over slo0a ton.
 Some excellent mining property has been located on the Arizona side of the Colorado, some forty miles from Needles, Cal Two stamp mills have already been erected aud many rich mines have been staked out. While this territory is rich in minerals, very rich in some localities, Mohaye county stands at the head with the greatest number of producing properties. And should silver regain it's former prestige there is scarcely limit to its produc- tion in Arizona.
 About six weeks ago, in Los An geles, party of monied men formed an incorporation known as the Los Angeles Petroleum Smelling and Min ing company for the purpose of work ing ore from mine purchased by then.s the crude petroleum now being taken from the wells around Los Angeles to be used as fuel for the shelter fur naces. The company has in contem- plation the erection of a great custom ore shelter in Los Angeles, which will use this crude petroleum as fuel: the crude petroleum can be purchased in Los Angeles for DO cents barrel and three barrels of petroleum equals one 'h VI 'oai loi oihSltci iuCi pui pOsSs' | This is certainly another step toward | the profitable treatment of vast bodies of low grade ore throughout California and Arizona. The idea of so using | this crude petroleum found around | Los Angeles, originated with Samuel | Hill, a Prescott merchant, who some months ago suggested it to MT. Cham berlain, general manager of the smelt ing incorporation referred to, and | acting on MT. Hills suggestion was made with the hope that something might be done in Arizona on the same lines
