SOME SIC STRIKES MADE LATELY
 AND OTHER NEWS.
 John Brink, a placer miner of Walnut Grove, is reported to be making big wages in that line of mining, and fl ono half of what is heard is true there may possibly be rush to that section. His claims lay about two miles northwest of A.. A. Moore's ranch, and are in the dry foothills. He hauls tho dirt to She Hasssyampa and in many instances has received as high as forty cents a pan. The one great difficulty IS water.
 A report reaches town today of . most phenomenal nature in a rich strike and it is backed up with the evidence. It is from the Buster mine in the Bradshaws, superintended by E. D. TreadwelI. On this property a crosscut is being run. sand while this work was going on at distance of about 200 feet in a tale seam two feet thick was run into from which pure native copper nuggets were taken. The ore in this mine is a copper sulphide and the present dis covery has had decided tendency to make the owners of this property feel elated. There are many speci- mems from this new find on exhibi- ton at Kelly & Stephens and we would advise all to go and view them
 Following right on the heels of the big strike on the Monte Cristo on Groom creek, comes the addi- tional startling news that on the Douglass, laying about mile away up the creek, big strike has been made, similar in extent and riches to the Monte Cristo. The Douglas is under bond and lease to Hank Abbott, and the new find has been made by him in a tunnel about 120 feet in. Groom Creek will now be the scene of lively mining opera tions and will undoubtedly be with it's other developed mines a good field for capital to take hold. J.J. Riley and Dr. Davis own the Douglas.
 R. c. Bates is in town today from Indian creek, and reports some plac- CT mining in that gulch. He is de- yeloping a prospect, which shows up well. He also states that the Connecticut mine is looking we'll and that the general feeling IS that it will be very desirable piece of ground with more work and greater depth.
 Reports from Walnut Grove give hattering account of the Lodge mine, owned by Sam Hodgdon. The property is said to have an immense vein of ore, from II to 2 feet across. and will assay $6 per ton. There is a shaft down on the property 72 feet deep, and at the bottom is free and base. This mine offers excellent inducements for company to oper- ate, and our informant, who is an old miner, believes it will soon interest capital, in view of the show ing it makes.
 Among the various pieces of min ing ground that are highly spoken of of late, is that of the eNellie Warren, owned by Messrs. Peters and Warren. It is located in Crook Canyon, and in its development shows a pretty and strong vein oF ore at least three feet across. Con spicuous with the working of th,s mine IS the fact of it being operated by tunnel, in short, the further a tunnel IS run in on the ledge. the deeper is it tapped, thereby demon strating what limited amount of capital can accomplish where other wise the expense would be very heavy. So far the owners have run m but 70 feet, striking the ledge over 70 feet deep. Crook canyon seems to have taken on another header of late, and is said to be a favorite center for mines and min ing money.
