this morning, where he is engaged
 in the development of some mining
 claims.
 A deed was filed for record today
 from II. Jacobs to Lon. D. Hall for
 one-half O. the Queen mine, the
 consideration named being 5000.
 J. J. Mllliken is building a five
 stamp mill on the Homestead mine,
 on Lynx creek, Snd will have it con-
 pleted soon.
 Superintendent W. A. Clark
 has closed work temporarily at
 Fools Gulch, on account of the
 small PoX scare.
 1 w. 4. Long is reported to have
 made a rich gold strike recently in
 the Lynx creek country. He is said
 to have had specimens in Prescott
 recently which showed up gold in
 great quantities.
 A. J. Doraa has secured an interest
 in the Bull Dog mine, in the Super
 stition mountains, ID Pinal county,
 aud will start the mill up on Mon
 day next. He will remain there,
 and have the superintendency of the
 property.
 Report is that quite rich strike
 has been made in the Silver Flake
 mine, on Groom creek, the orc going
 Sl0O per ton. Quite an impetus has
 been given to mining in that section
 since J. R. Murphy has become
 identified with it by purchasing the
 above mine.
 Despite the dry weather and lack
 of water Capt. C. w. Anderson the
 Lynx creek placer miner has sue ceeded m washing out another bot tie of placer gold which he marketed
 in Prescott today. In the lot was considerable coarse gold and few
 fine nuggets.
 Nick Gales, of New Mexico, made | favorable talk for a shelter enter
 prise in Prescott to the Albuquerque Citizen. The paper, in speaking of
 MT. Gales, says that "The people of [ the public spirited city of Prescott, can implicitly depend on any state ment made by Mir. Gales. He IS the principal promoter of the rich gold mines of Hillsboro, in this territory"
 Dan Hatz, it is said, has bonded the Ohio and Gro Flame mines, on the Hassayampa, to English parties. The properties were recently under bond to Colorado parties, who open ed them up some, and who, it is said, were we'll pleased with them, but on account of conflicting inter- ests in the ownership, they failed to purchase.
 Messrs. Carpenter < Swigert, who | have had lease and bond on the 1 Cottonwood mine, on Groom creek, | have sunk a shaft fifty feet deep on | the property. The ledge is twelve feet wide, and there IS quite a good | body of ore in it, which goes as high | as S2O0 in gold. They have just transferred their bond to Messrs. Shirley X Plumb, who will continue | development work on the claim.
 The owners of the Last Chance mine commenced to-day to sink the shaft on that property to a greater depth. It is now only POO feet deep and several drifts have been run at different depths from this shaft and fine ore bodies have been opened up in these drifts. The owners now propose to sink deeper and ascer- tain what is m store for them in the lower levels of the property.
 The Senator mine has been quietly worked by the new superintendent, until now the force of miners num- bers about fifteen. At first the mill was worked portion of the time on custom ore, but new ore bodies have been opened up in the mine, until at present they have a sufficient quantity to keep the mill in opera tion on ore exclusively from this mine.
 Speaking of the old Vulture mine the Phenix Gazette says: Mir. Kemp ton took a lease last fall from ex- Governor Tabor of Denver, the noted mining man who owns the valuable mine. He is digging ore and running the ten stamp mill to its fullest capacity, finding ample { water in the mine for milling pur- poses. Mir. Kempton says those who think the mine is exhausted or | that the vein is cut of bv fault at , the lower level are at fault them selves, ss the vein is all there and { just as strong as ever. It has al- ways been an in and out claim, some- { times being very rich, at other T times running quite low, but at no { time has 1t pinched out. If this be | true the old mine is yet in its infan- I cy, and with a railroad near by and { facilities for the reduction i of ores, it ought to yet be one of the | great mines of Arizona, eclipsing a he Hsrqua Hala and other mines d of note. Mir, KemPton is an intelli- r yent miner, and at present he is W making the claim pay quite we'll. f Who knows but some day the mine h will be opened again to its lower n evels, the entire ore worked, and P he claim crowded to its capacity, d will easily make it the leading r, nine of Arizona. Many old fl miners remember the palmy fc lays at Vulture when to be a m eamster with stealing privileges, cl Vas a more remunerative position fs han that of Phenix city council Il nan, member of the sanitary com " 1ission, or even the president of the " Jnited States. That day may come, m nd doubtless it will, should the fc 7ork continue under the present bl ficient management. The Vulture kl as always been the greatest mine d, n Arizona. m
