Spring cleaning need not necessarily
be made the drudgery it is if properly
done. Paints, floors, hard walls and
windows may all be cleaned without
rubbing, by wiping over with strong
suds made of Ivory soap and hot, soft
water, then rinsed and dried. A room
thus cleaned will be fresh and sweet,
with no unpleasant odor of strong
soaps or cleaning fluids.

NEVER LOOKED BETTER

Those wise ones who have "hoped 1t wouldn't, but were positive the mines at Fortuna would not 20 down, but would soon pinch out :" can find little in the present condi- ton of the bonanza property to as s1st them in the gaining of converts to their theory, says the Yuma Sun. While in the strict sense of the word it is true that La Fortuna has not as yet proven that she will go down, still the fact that at five hundred feet the largest body of ore yet seen is in sight, and ore or great value, is a first class indication, and one not at all discouraging to the owners.
 Last months output was almost $40,000, which, considering the fact that the company carries but about seventy men on the pay roll, is re- markable Two or three greater monthly clean-ups have been made than this but S4O,000 is somewhat above the aver age.
 It is sincerely hoped that La For tuna will never grow less, for Yuma county has no mine which is of more benefit at home than this one.

CHA COUNTY GOLD MINES.

The new district on Houdon noun tain and Gun creek is destined to make Gila county one of the largest gold producers in the territory. This district is less than one year old, and from the quantity, quality and the extraordinary facilities for working the ores can not be excelled in the United States. A brief description of some of the most important pros poets in this district might be accept able-might make interesting reading for some of the friends who are af
 f1icted with the Klondyke fever. Three claims of this district, the Gun Creek. Accepted and Refuse, have recently been bonded for a good figure. The leads carry $200 in gold and 10 per cent copper. These leads vary from ten to thirty feet wide The owners are David Gowan, P. G. Ellison and Azbill Bros. The Azbill brothers have twenty other claims, among which are the Blue Bird, with a ledge three feet wide, carrying s225 per ton in free milling ore; the Goldside, with

NEW COPPER PRECIPITANT

It is a well established fact that copper held in solution in water can be easily obtained by using iron as a precipitant, but as the precipitant Of copper in solution with iron is comparatively slow and in many in stances costly, more active and less expensive precipitant was much in demand. But Thomas Wren, late of Eureka, but now of Reno, Nevada, seems to have solved this problem beyond doubt. MT. Wren has made the question a study, and, after re- peated and numerous experiments with different substances, has discov- cred that copper in solution in water can be readily be thrown down with alkali. AlkaG will precipitate the copper at once, while iron requires from twenty-four hours to several months-depending upon the amount of iron used.

ceeding. Some other enterprises are also in contemplation, and develop ment is being quietly pushed.
 The Arizona Sentinel says: "The lead mines in Arizona which have been closed down for years will prob ably in the near future resume opera tions at full blast, and the tonnage will be larger than ever before, due to the fact that the prices for lead are higher than they have been for the past five years. The indications are that the upward tendency will con tinue and that the production of lead will yield a magnificent profit for perhaps years to come. Ranging along such figures as $4.05 to s4.10 per 100 pounds, it is freely predicted that it will reach $4.5o within a few months, and possibly exceed that price. The increasing value of lead will undoubtedly lead to the reopen ing of many of our silver-lead mines, closed on account of the decline in silver The possible novelty may soon be witnessed in Arizona cf s'lead' mines in full operation, pre- ducing 25 per cent of lead. with 75 per cent of silver as a side issue.'

There is another ledge thirty feet wide that carries $24 in gold, silver and copper. Another claim, called the Winchester, assays 20 per cent copper. "A mill is prom ised this district before the snow flies. Besides the claims mentioned there are number owned by Miller and Gilleland, Brunson Bros, w. H. Beard and others. These mines are ten miles east of the main county road, but at present can not be easi- ly reached with a wagon from this side, but there is a road from Hol- brook to Pleasant Valley, natural road to the mines. Water and wood are no object to this district-they have an abundance; in fact, timber must be cut down to make room for road and for the mills-Correspon dence of Pick and Drill.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

Robert Downey, John Burke. F. w. McCarty, Jerry Sheedy and John Poe have bonded their gold claims at the head of Post canyon for $4O,O00. This is small Klondyke in itself We hope this will be a sale and the Hua- chucas will come once more to the front.-Prospector.
 Three more contracts have been let for development on the Continental, on which work will be started Mon day The mine in the several open ings is looking very well, especially on the 250 foot level where a large body, of sulphide ore is being exploit ed. Sinking has progressed to a depth of 270 feet.-Silver Belt.
 A strike of a large body of ore in the Franco-American mine of Gro Blanco is reported Assay returns have not yet been received, but in ap- pearance the ore closely resembles the high grade ore of the Orc mine. One interesting characteristic of the ore is that whilst highly pyritic, and seemingly almost a. smelting propo- stion, it yet works freely to a high percentage, by ordinary mill process, but almost all of what precious metal is then left is readily caught by the concentrators. Active arrangements to start up the Montana mill are pro-

A THOUSAND A DAY.
Result of a Wonderful Run on King
 of Arizona Ore.

R. J. Duncan of the King of Ari- zona mine, accompanied by George w. Norton of Mohawk, came in Tues day from where the five-stamp mill of the company is breaking records, bringing with them about 125 pounds of amalgam, or in dhe neighborhood of $13,000, the result of thirteen days of pounding upon the King of Arizona rock by the f1ve-stamp battery, says the Yuma Sun. This is a wonderful record, and one which is seldom equaled, a remarkable feature of which is that from all indications it will be equaled time and again by this same little mill, and exceeded approximately when the King of Arizona company finds itself able to supply larger mill with ore.
 The wonderful group of claims which are furnishing ore of so rich grade as to maFe these great runs possible, are being rapidly deyelop- ed, under the superintendence of Frank Guerra, one of the ablest min ing men on the coast. A new strike has been recently made, from which we nave seen some very rich speci- me1s, but of its extent and location we nave not been informed The ore Us said to exceed in richness any vet taken out. The strike was probably Hidue on the Homestake, where most ol Cne ueVelopment so far has been uone.
