 The Golden Dreaia mill is running steadily day and night on rich ore. None is sent to the mill that runs less than $1O per ton. The company is taking out ore from 13 differnt places. The vines are widening out and the ore grows richer as depth IS attalned.

 Very rich ore was struck in the Arturo mine Tuesday, ct Picscho. This joins the Monday and Golden Dream mines and is the same vein as that which the rich ore has been found in the Golden Dream mine. Two new strikes of very rich ore were made on this vein on Thursday.
 A piece of ore weighing 100 pounds was taken from the Monday mlne at Picacho Thursday afternoon that con- tained $125 in gold. The rock was literally covered and filled with gold. This was from the Hill shaft, while the miners under Foreman Dunne was taking out this rich ore, another rich strike was made in the South shaft on the same mine 800 feet South on the same vein. Where the ore runs up into the hundreds per ton.
 Another very rich strike was made in the South drift on the Golden Dream mine Thursday which surpas- ses in quantity and richness of ore anything yet found in this famous mine. The ore taken out of the new strike runs from $1OO to $500 per ton So rich that canvas is put down on the ground and the ore as it is taken down falls upon it, where all the fine particles of quartz carrying the gold is saved. One handful of this gave $10 in gold.
 Col, Allen is now getting ready to put 100 stamp mill on to the Gold Cup group in Picacho Basin. Thus far in great bodies of ore, it being 200 feet wide, and in richness of the ore, the average being better than $2O per ton, this famous group leads anything yet found in Southern California if not on the coast. This company has a capital of $35O, 900 of which $150,OOO 1 in cash has been placed in bank for the erection of the mill and the open ing of the mines, the latter of which is simply g quarrying proposition. Col. Allen will begin this work just as soon as he has the Pleiades, Capells and the Alfonzo mills running, which he expects now to be able to do by the 18th of May.
