1t can be said without fear of contra
diction, says the Tucson Citizen. that
the mines of Arizona are attracting
greater attention than ever before. AL
most daily, from all corners of the terri
tory, reports come Of the opening, sale
and working of new properties and the
renewal Of operations on old mines that
have lain idle by force Of various cir
cumstances
The Old Glory camp, which has been
closed down for some time past, Will
soon be the scene of great activity, ar
rangements having been made for the
immediate commencement of work
The company's affairs have been in the
hands of receiver for year past, but
satisfactory settlement has been con-
Guided by which Maj. f. Fechet resumes
full control. The major informs the
Citizen that before June so d thirty
stamp mill will be on the ground to
replace the Griffin mill heretofore in
use, and that not later than September
list the merry rafting of the dropping
stamps will give assurance that the Old
Glory is again adding revenue to all
concerned. Maj. Fechet is confident
that the improved methods of economi-
cal ore handling will secure paying re-
turns, and his experience in such mat
tiers gives weight to his opinion.
The postoffice will soon be re-estab-
lished and the company will have its
store in operation very shortly. Stilson

vancing the money for this work and
will undoubtedly realize handsomely on
the investment.
If this venture is a success numerous
other properties in the Old Glory dis
trict Will be opened up. The sale of the
Tres Amigos property, about two miles
from this camp, took place recently,
and adds another good group to the
district.

Unlike most mining companies the Leon

expended thousands of dollars on de-
velopment, with the intention of doing
still more, before erecting a mill. In

A 5-stanp mill which occupies space
four feet square is the latest thing to
which Captain A. r. Smith has turned
his attention, and the experimental work
done yesterday afternoon. when the
mill worked seventy-tive pounds of ore
in thirty minutes indicates that the de-
vice will be a success.
The problem Of stamp mill which can
be easily transferred from place to
place, and be used in the development
of new mines and prospects by means
of actual milling tests is one to which
many mining men have given atten-
ton and it was to fill this long felt want
that Captain Smith addressed himself
The results of his theorizng were seen
in the practical test at Ericsson 4
Burkharts shop yesterday.
The compactness and lightness of the
mill is it's most notable feature. 1t is
operated by steam, but engine. boiler
and mill occupy g. space only four feet
square, and may be easily transported
in q wagon. The stamps weigh twenty
five pounds cash, and they are moved
by springs each when released having
a striking force of ninety-seven pounds.
Added to the weight of the stamp. it
gives a total force of 122 pounds to the
blow, and brushes ore rapidly. The test
yesterday by which seventy-five pounds
were milled in thirty minutes would in
dictate that ton of ore could be reduced
in thirteen hours-San Bernardino

George Kenyon, says the San Ber-
nardino Sun, whose wonderfully rich
mining strike in the Rand mining dis
trict was reported only two weeks ago,
is being brought to this city seriously

find was made which was the richest
of the celebrated Rand. AS reported in
the Sun the ore was worth thousands
of dollars per ton in it's richest streak,
