The Grand Central rIine Sold

At La Colorado last week one of the most important mining deals in the history of Sonora was consummated, the Grand Central mine being sold by Mir. F. H. Seymour and associates to Mir. Howell Hines and those associated with him, for q consideration of S150,- 900 gold. It is stated that eight hours after the deal was closed Mir. Seymour received telegram that representa- tive of an English syndicate was on the way to La Colorado, prepared to pay him S500,000 for the property, and every effort was made to induce him to refuse to convey the property to Mir. Hines; but with fairness extremely rare the gentleman refused to break his word. When the English syndicate representative arrived at La Colorado he offered Mir. Hines $50,000 in gold to release Mir. Seymour from his con tract. but the offer was declined and the transfer was made. It is stated that the would-be purchaser, Mir. R. R. Symon, vice president of the Sonora railway. thens offered Mir. Hines one million dollars gold for the Grand Central and Amarillas mines and the two mills belonging to them, but that his offer was likewise declined.
 In this connection it is stated that recently map of the camp was sent on to London with full account of the output and workings, and that after careful study and comparison experts there pronounce the Prietas lode as greater than tho Transvaal, in South Africa. --Oasis.

THE MINERAL MARKET.
FROM DELEGATE MURPHY.

We are in receipt of letter from Delegate V. O. Murphy in response to suggestion from us that the bill for the segregation of the Deer Creek coal fields be amended to secure the origi- nal locators of coal and mineral claims, within the territory to be segregated, prior rights to their claims, without any expense to the said claimants fur ther than the ordinary cost of securing title to lands when patented.
 MT. Murphy says he has introduced a new bill for the segregation ot the coal fields, as the first one met with objections in the Indian office. He promises, at the proper time. to intro duce the amendment referred to, and it is to be hoped the bill as thus amended will become law. However, Mir. Murphy is not sanguine of secur- ing much legislation favorable to Ari- zona and the west.
 He adds: "The eastern preiudices ars so strong here against the west, on account of silver, that it is almost i'm. possible to get proper consideration. This sectional feeling has developed beyond all reason or good sense, and we of the west are compelled to suffer by it. Since I have been here have been working steadily for what I con. sidered the best interests of Arizona, and will always gladly do, to the best of my ability, anything for you and your neighborhood."

In Blood Trouble !?

Mrs. Joe Person, think it only ius-
tice to yourself and to all who are af-
fiicted with ScrofuIa to give you and
the pubic statement concerning my
boy who was afflicted with scrofuIous
White Swelling. He was but little over
two years old when taken and the
family physician was at once called
to his case. It was treated very sue
cessfully during the first stages of the
disease. After this there was no per-
ceptible Improvements in his condition
he could not take the physic that was
necessary for him. At this period I
saw Mrs. Person and procured some Of
the Remedy and commenced it's use.
The boy began improving very much
and could take Iodide of Iron and To-
dide of Potassium without any trouble
in connection with Mrs. Persons Rem
edy. When L began using the Rene
dy, the knee joint was stiff, he could
not walk step without assistance.
The knee joint soon improved and he
learned a second time to walk. The
thigh bone was affected and large,
quantities dissolved and ran out, like
coarse corn meal.
l continued the use of the Remedy
till the boy was pronounced free from
Scrofula. I need not say any more as
he is to-day living witness as 10 the
efficacy of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
earning his living by the sweat of his
brow.
