MINES AND MINING.


 The Tucson Star in an item concern ing the opening of the Deer Creek coal fields says the Bulletin stated recently that the segregated territory would be open for location in a few weeks. No such statement ever ap- peared in the Bulletin, as' our readers we'll know. There is considerable ''red tape" connected with the survey, it's approval and acceptance by the gov ernment. The contractor, MT. Samuel Logan, completed his work on time. The next step will be the cof fning of an agent from Washington to examine and approve MT Logan's sqrvey. If he finds everything correct he will so report to Washington and then the date for the opening of this territory for settlement and occupationswill be advertised for thirty days. It is hard ly probable that everything will be ready for the acceptance of legal fil- ings in the land office before neX9 April or May and it may be still later. Ora ham County Bulletin.
 Says the Mining and Scientific Press: "The prospector on the Pacific coast has one great advantage over his brothers in most other mining regions. Like the birds he can change his hab- fiat with the seasons and find congen- ial climates the year round. Hun dreds of men who were in Alaska dur ing the summer, and others who have been driven out of British Colum- bia and other parts of the northwest hn in nf Wi int wandering on the deserts and noun tains from Tehachapi to New Mexico. During the winter there will be no prospecting done in the north, but there promises to be greater activity than ever in the new fields in south ern California, Arizona and New Mex ico."
 In doing assessment work on his claim just back of the court house at Tombstone John Rainy made strike Saturday which may develop into a snug fortune for it's owner. The mine adjoins the Southwest, one of the T. M & M properties which has produced ore running as high as $2,000 per ton and has been working for twelve years. To one side of the new discovery is a shaft sunk out of which $20,000 was taken near the surface from big kid ney of ore, and from all accounts the ore found hereabouts lies in pockets. The find was made in less than five feet from the surface and is about one foot wide, apparently imbedded in lime. Whether the ledge continues down or opens up into a chamber of ore, or whether it is a small kidney is past conjecture and can only be dem onstrated by following the ore, which is being done. Flakes of horn silver are plainly discernable and the char acter of the ore shows it to be of fairly high grade. The progress of work and outcome of the find will be watched with interest.
 The Temple Bar Consolidated Min ing company have incorporated. The properties owned by this company consisting of gold bearing bars o1 large dimensions on the Colorado river, are considered by mining mer who have examined them, to be the largest and the richest deposits of gol( bearing gravel on the continent an( perhaps in the world. We have take1 special pains for more than. year tt get at the truth of the value of thes' gold deposits and our research ha developed the fact that they are ricl beyond all that has been claimed fo them.-Kingman Mineral Wealth.
 Olive camp, which for some year was a bonanza for industrious chlor iders on the silver lead propertie there, is still being worked to limite' extent. The Corda brothers are il town, and this week received return from shipment to Pueblo of fiv tons of ore from the Matchless, whic ran PIP ounces silver and forty-on per cent lead.-Star.
 The mines at Rosemont are in mos fiourishing condition. There ar about forty men employed at presen and are principally engaged in devel opment work. They are striking in mense bodies of ores in every direC tion, and the management is highl elated over the brilliant outlook fo the property and camp. Tucson very materially interested in the sut cess of Rosemont, on account of il close proximity, and certainly rejoice with the owners at the prospect { satisfactory returns.
