MINES AND MINING.
News of Interest Concerning Rich Min
 ing Properties.

Saturday evening Messrs. Charles H. Charlton and Miguel Bornio, pres ident and general manager of Las Planchas Mining company, came in to Nogales with bar of 1000 ounces of silver bullion, the result of a seven days experimental run of their new mill, which works finely.
 F. R. Nellis has bonded thirteen of his Canon copper mines for SIS, 3,000 to a strong financial company of Boston. This company will at once eXpend a large amount of money in the develop ment of these properties, which means much to this section of the country, and in all probability marks new business epoch in Coconino county.
 Frank Mcguire and sons last week brought to Kingman a ton of ore from the Lookout mine, owned by J. s. Withers, which gave return of sev- enteen ounces in gold. One sack of ore from the same mine gave a value of $6,O0O per ton. This is a good showing for the Lookout. There is no doubt that the mine would show up great quantities of ore fully as rich as this if it was worked in systematic manner.
 The Tucson Mining and Smelling company shipped last week through the Consolidated National bank, via the Southern Pacific, twenty tons of copper bullion, the product of four days run of the smelter. MT. J. Fran cis, the manager of the smelter, is al- ways on the lookout for copper ore, and pays cash for every pound that is shipped to him. The longer the smelt- CT runs under his charge the more pop ular his management becomes, and nothing but praise is heard from the miners with whom he has had deal ings.
 Advices from Harshaw indicate that the Worlds Fair mine of Frank Pow CTS is still forging ahead as valuable and productive property. MT. Powers has run two tunnels, one 900 feet, and the other 500 feet long, both in ore all the way. Not pound of ore has been stopped, but all the work done has been paid out of ores taken in development. A new ten-stamp mill, with pans and concentrators, has been ordered and will soon be erected. When the mill is in operation the Worlds Fair will be a regular producer of bullion and is destined to become world beater.
 John Pearce, the discoverer of the celebrated Pearce mine in the Sulphur Springs valley, who sold it for such a comfortable sum to the Breckman syndicate, has been travelling around and enjoying himself However, he has tired of leading fife of luxurious ease; he is home sick for the noun tains and plains of New Mexico and Arizona, and is hungry for diet of bacon and beans. Early in the new year, with prospector's outfit, he will be in the Sulphur Springs valley again looking for mineral. He knows of several places where the indications are as good as they were at the Cele- brated Pearce mine The only thing that troubles him is that he may make another fortune, and if he should he does not know what to do with it.

 There has been a great deal of talk lately to the effect that the works at JOIOlllc WclC IO DC GlOoCu lOl OLC Ol two months to enable the fixing of the main shaft and to make other i'm provements. To learn how much truth there was in the report the Min ing News man went to the works and was there informed, by man high in authority, that there was no truth in the report at all any further than that during the month of April next there might be shut down of perhaps ten days or two weeks, but that there would be more men at work during these ten days than when the works were turning out bullion, and that even the shut down of ten days was by no means certain and that the chances were that there would not be any at all.
