Our readers will remember the Sums account of the, discovery of a mine in the vicinity of Baker Tanks, in the Adonde mountains thought by many to, be the. traditional Lost Squaw." They will also remember that the development work done on the claims disclosed the bodies of good size, which is rapidly increasing, and great richness. It carries both gold and copper, butt it is thought the latter will predominate in value
 Upon the heels of this discovery, which numerous weM known mining men have examined and pronounced a great one, comes the news that Frank Redondo has made a strike in the same district, fourteen miles from Taona and eight from Baker Tanks, which is equal, mayhap superior, to the Lost Squaw." Which mines will prove the better is not, however, for dispute, as from all indications they are both enormous deposits of high grade ore
 J. l.. Redondo, who is interested with his brother, Frank, who made the discovery, returned from nhe scene of the find on Moaday with about nrty pounds of rock rich enough to set tingling with excitement the blood Of the most conservative In most of the pieces, blue in color and rich in copper, flakes and particles of shining gold are distinguisIhable to the naked eye, while under the glass there are spots which seem fairly studded with the yellow me.al.
 The ledge is about five feeiJ in width and crops out for a long dis tance. The Redondo brothers have located six claims, which are contigu- ous, and they consider that their properties are as promising as any discovered in the county since the klng of Arizona was found
 In this vicinity there has been cme othsr group of locations made, and besides these three groups of min S there appears never to have been a monument built or Ia pick struck in 1he ground. The field is a most in- vitdng one flor pEospsctors and doubt less many will wend their way in that direction
 The development of the district will not be a difficult matter. as it is all most certain that water in abundance can be found within 100 feet of the surfactA. Wood sufficient for years to come is at hand, so Khat the great drawbacks with which other districts have been obliged to contend are here obviated. From all indications that part of the country has a bright fr1- ture, and by its development will add many another producing mina to the long list Yuma county will in a few years numIber.-Yuma Sun

While two men were hunting on tho
Yellowstone river, they saw in a small
gulrh a grizzly bear, curied up as if
asleep. Being men of experience, they
climbed up the side of the guich and
when out of reach, hurled rocks at the
huge animal. To their surprise Il ucrc~
moved, although hit quite frequently.
Presently it dawned upon them that
the grizzly was dead, aud closer eN-
animation revealed such to be fact.
There was no wound on its bod-, and
while the men were pondCring over this
singular circumstance, they became
conscious of sense OF suffocation from
strong sulphur fumes, arising from ser.
era holes in the ground rear by. At
some risk they investigated further
and found tho skeletons of four other
bears, an elk, squirrels and other small
game, all evidently asphyxiated by The

Buried cities In Central Asia.

journeyings in central Asia in the dis
tIict north OF the Kwenlung noun

covered which had been buried by sue
cessive sandstorms spreading over 4
thousand years, hence very modern
from u Petrie point of view. Separate
houses were uncovered of very frag i"
construction consisting OF wooden pill
lars, while the walls were pu, together
of plated reeds covered with mud. The
latter were rendered at once impcrvi-
Gus and suitable for decoration by be-
ing coated with white plaster. Draw
ings were discovered on these walls,
and well executed, of human figures,
horses, dogs and flowers, and judg-
ing by the copies which have been
brought back, of no small artistic
merit. Small figures of Buddha We're

1t is possible to find occasion for
thankfulness under the most adverse

an old crgan-blower who was dying.
The curate was visiting him.
would you mind, sir, asking our

me?" asked the sick man.
Certainly will, Chapman said the
curate.
.'Thankee, sir; none of that ere
tweedledum Beethoven, you Know, sir;

II am sure he will do it," responded
the curate.

TINTIC MINING DISTRICT,
UTAH.

The Tintic Mining District lies eighty
five miles south of Salt Lake City on the
Rio Grande Western Railway, and is, as
shown by the records of 1896 and so far
in the present year, the greatest mineral
producing district in Utah.
The names OF the great bonanzas of
Tiutic. the Mammoth, Centennial
Eureka, Bullion-Beck, Eureka Hill and
Gemini, are recognized everywhere that
the mining industry is known. The
four former have each record exceed
ing 81 .000, 600 in dividends and the later
of over S6G0,CO
Until within the last two or three
years no adequate means or reduction
of Tintic ores was in operation in the
district and the production of mines
was limited to those cres sufficiently
rich to be shipped to smclters for treat
ment, but this has been changed by the
erection of immense combination and
concentration of milling plants which
can work at a profit those immense de-
posits of low grade ores which fill all the
producing mines of the district Four
of these mills are in active operation.
and three others will undoubtedly be
erected within the next year.
The ores of Tintic are greatly diversi-
fled in character. The principal metals
produced are gold, silver, copper aud
lead. lii silver production Tintic leads
the state, While in the production of
gold it stands second on the list. Be-
sides the big bonanZas above mentioned
| there are some twenty-five or more prop
critics that now and in the past have
been producing mines, and to these may
be added score of others which have
paid for their development by their pro-
ducts, and upon the recent revival of
the mining industry has had the effect
OF recommencement of operations.
Tintic has four thriving towns-Eu-
reka, the business center of the district.
with population of $500; Mammoth,
population 1000; Robinson and Silver
City, 500 each. all of which offer great
inducements for investments in bust
ness way.
at the base of the foothills only few
miles away, is valley OF % 900 acres of
fruit and garden lands, watered by the
Mt. Nebo Land and Irrigation COM
pany.
As to the future of Tintic, it is no ex-
ageration to say that it possesses the
brightest prospects of any mining dis
trict in Utah, and offers to the prospec-
tive investor opportunities which can
not be excelled.
The Rio Grande Western Railway has
a double daily train service between
Salt Lake City and the Tintic Mining
District. For further particulars apply
