The rich strikes made in the White Gold Basin at Picach0, are growing better aud bid fair to be 'bonanzas.p
 Yuma Sentinel: The cross cut in the Little Frank mine is fOrty-six feet in length in good milling ore, while that in the Golden Dream is fOrty-four feet in good milling ore. The con- pany have twenty-five men at work opening up these new finds of rich ore.
 In the new tunnel on the Monday mine near Yuma, the rich ore has widened out from two to six feet with an average of over Sl00 per ton. The balance of the twenty feet of ore which the tunnel cuts runs from sl0 to Sl5 with an average of SIP per ton in free gold.
 The first tests made Of the ore from the new fiud in the Monday mine near Yuma, run S100 per ton on the average e-yesterday they reached the S250 mark. The vein has DOW been uncovered for eighty feet in width with but one wall in sight all Of which will pay s5 per ton in the mill.
 A rich vein is reported to have been struck in the mineral district of Ocampo state Of Chihuahua. It Is supposed to be a continuation of the rich vein on which the Santa Eduwi- ges people are now working and which Is paying handsomely. Santa duwi- ges is the oldest mine in the Ocamp0 district aud has turned out fortune for it's owners. The mine Is owned by a Mexican company at Chihuahua.
 In the Zembrano shaft in Yuma county, the pay ore which was two feet wide is filling the shaft. six and half feet, but what is considered the best strike yet made was struck Mon- day in the old tunnel by AsIres Villa. The whole shaft 4 by 6 feet is in the richest ore ever found at PicachO All three of these finds which are on three different veins Of Ore--are within ,000 feet of the Golden Dream Co.'s new mill.
 Globe Silver Belt: We learn from w. w. Hill, superintendent of the Black copper group of claims, that de- yelOpment work has been temporarily suspended 10 permit of the under ground works being timbered. The mine has been sufficiently exploited to demonstrate it's great value, and even at the present stage of development, 1t is safe to predict that it will prove tO be one Of tue largest and most pro- ductiye copper mines in Globe district. |
 A one-fourth interest in the Black | copper group in Gila county, was re- gently sold to New York parties, who are refiners and large dealers in cop per, ard Dr. J. NJ. Ford and James A. | Fleming of Phoenix, who bonded the | property, are now in New York nego- tiating for the transfer of the other three fourths to the same parties who purchased the quarter interest They | are fully informed as to the merits of | the property, and recently tested l sample of ,, 200 pounds of the ore at their eastern refinery, the result being | very satisfactory.
 The rich ten-inch streak encounter ed on the BOO foot level of La Fortuna mine in Yuma county, last week. goes down. and increases in richness and size as depth is attained, which is an indication that the mite has greater depth than is usually admitted by pessmists. A level will soon be run from the bottom of the shaft-fifty feet lower than at present. when it is thought this rich streak will be cut and an enormous and fabulously rich body of ore encountered. Experts are still sanguine and speak in glowing terms of the mine.
