 The new ten stamp mill of the Chicago Gold Mining company near the head of the Hassayampa has been completed and turned over to the company and is now ready to commence operations crushing ore. The mill was built by W. w. Elliott and is said to be as perfect and complete a mill as there is in the territory. There is an abundance of wood and water convenient to the mill and the mine is said to be capable of producing an abundance of good ore. These three conditions are all that are requisite for success.
 A deed was filed for record today from Fannie Kautz. executTix ol the estate of August V. Kautz. to the Gopher Gold Mining company of Sea, tie, Washington, for the Gopher mining claim located in Big Bug mining district. The consideration is l9,675 shares of the above com pany's stock of the par value of Sl0 par share.
 NJ. G. Burns has taken lease and bond on a group of mines m Copper Basin, owned by R. c. McNary, $. c. Wynkoop and Henry Rixen. By the terms of the agreement pay ments are to be made as follows: January 1. 1898, $7,000; July 1. 1898, $7 900 and January 1, 1899, S7 900.
 MT. Thurston, one of the pur- chasers of the Fuller group of mines, at Squaw Peak, is in town on busi ness. He is in charge of the above properties and has commenced work on them in a thorough systematic business like way. He has about thirty men employed at present making improvements and this force will be largely increased. R. C. Powers has been engaged to survey tramway and to make a prelImin- ary survey of the various claims and has been at work for week until called to Prescott as a witness in a case before the court. Mir Thurs ton has two partners, Chicago cap- italists, interested with him in the purchase of tn property. He is a mining man of over twenty years experience having been engaged in the business in California, Mexico and South America and thoroughly understands the business. It is needless to add that he is very favorably impressed with this sec tion of Arizona and with the Squaw Peak property in particular, as his investment there is sufficient evil dence of this fact. The property purchased by him and his associates consists of seven quartz claims, three placer claims and three mill sites. While more or less develop ID snt w )rk has been done on all of the claims one of them has very large amount of development work done. The ledge varies in width from two to fifteen feet and the lowest assay ever received from the orc was s per ton while ore has been taken out which assayed Sl00,

the general average being a very good quality of milling ore. Mr. Thurston is now engaged in prepar- ing for the immediate erection of ten stamp mill on the property and if 1t turns out as present develop ment indicates he expects to have fifty stamps crushing ore within a year. Owing to the peculiar loca- ton of the claims considerable pre- liminary work is necessary for the convenient and economical handling of the ore. The property is located in canyon, with almost perpen. dicular walls, nearly 1000 feet deep.
 About $50 feet from the bottom of this canyon is the tunnel through
 which the development work on the property is being done. From the
 mouth of this tunnel 10 the ore
 bins at the mill tramway 1900
 feet in length will be constructed
 to carry the ore direct from the
 mine to the mill. Work will be
 prosecuted just as fast as men can accomplish it until the mill is in operation. Governor Powers is very enthusiastic over the outlook of the property, and says he has not seen anything SO promising for a long time.
 l.. J. Court says he IS engaged in the organization of a company to conduct mining operations on a scale so gigantic that all previous mining enterprises since the world began will be as digging post holes or washing dishes by comparison. Mir. Courts project is the natural result of long and earnest thought by man of logical mind, scientific instincts and intelligent training. He starts with the acknowledged fact that the western slope of the Rocky mountains is the richest min eral region on earth. The Colorado river has been cutting a ditch in it for some years until in some places, particularly ly in Northern Arizona, the ditch has attained respectat le depth. MT. Court figures that in the coarse of years great deal of rock has been dissolved, freeing large quantities of gold held in so- lution in the bottom of the river. Thus the Grand Canyon has been converted into a great sluice box. The name of the company he will organize will be the Grand Canyon Bed Rock Gold Sluicing company The first thing 10 be done will be to l locate 300 miles of the Grand Can 1 yon. across which will be stretched | steel cables from which will be ground sluices of the Montgomery patent whose attached copper plates will gather up mil lions that somebody ought to have thought of long ago. Dives,ing the subject of technical description it may be said that the scheme will be like trot line fishing. All MT. Court and his associates will have io do will be to visit the pla es every morning and scrape off the yold.-Republican.

They arc en- gagged now in taking out a car load of ore for shipment and If satisfac- tory returns are received, capital to develop the property may be ob- tained. The ore carries gold, silver, and copper and Mir. Engle thinks he has her.United Verde mine, al- though at the present time there IS only one in the world.
 Parties recently up from Congress state that J. Fl. Costello, superin- tendent of the Golden Wave Mining Company, has recently made very rich strike in the mine he is working in that district known as the Reese mine. Indications are that the prop erty will become rival ot the famous Congress. 1t is located on the Martinez creek side of the noun tain, east of the Congress mine. The JoURNAL-MINER's informant fur ther stated that side track will be placed near the mine by the railroad company for convenience in getting supplies.
 Nj. G. Burns will put two men at work tomorrow on the group of gold claims recently bonded by him in Copper Basin. He will put up a whim and increase the force by the 10th of September.
 The Monte Cristo mine, on Groom creek, is shipping three or four tons of rich ore per week. The quality as we'll as the quantity of the ore continues up to the usual standard that it has been for the past three or four months.
 In the Union mine, Union Basin, cross cut at the fifty foot level revealed a body of ore thirteen feet in width. The ore carries gold with a small amount of silver. The whole vein will pay to mill. We under stand it is the intention of the com pany to prospect for water in the edge of the valley and if a sufficient supply is obtained, forty stamp mill will soon be erected.-Mohave Miner.

Plays and Play ers.

"The OCtoroon" and ''The Cashier"
two plays put on the stage for the
benefit OF our Amateur Band, Friday
and Saturday evenings, were we'll at
tended and generally liked. AS one
man ex pressed himself the next morn
ing after seeing the OctoroOn, in
answer to the question as to how be
liked the play, 1.-The play was all right;
they did as " ell as pr OfessiOnals could
have done" Under the able manage
ment of L. E. Pond, the cast was we'll
trained and thoroughly prepared to
do It's best. This production depicts
one of those bright rural spots III the
sunny sonth when slavery was at its
height. Handsome stage scenery and
pretty costumes peculiar to the
character added to the interest of its
production. The burning of the ship
was special feature and was greatly
appreciated. It. is often and naturally
asked why some have unprecedented
success in moving the feelings OF an
audience at will, but never has 1T been
successfully answered until our anna
tours took to the stage and began
making great hits, such as were
witnessed both OF these evenings.
This was perhaps best exemplified in
the killing of M'Closky, where John
Campbell distinguished himself us IA
true tragedian. Miss Aggie Foley
played her part exceptionally well,
and made anideal Zoe Miss Lavini4
Symes, as Dora Sunnyside, deserves
special mention TO- her succ ssful in
depreciation of the role she assumed,
and made a pretty and graceful ap-
pearance on the stage. Misses Anna
Soike and Edna Chaplin, and Charley
Love, Ray Williams, Rob Reed and
others, as negro slaves, also did well.
L. E. Pond played the part OF villain
very skillfully, while Purvee,J ohnst on,
Otis and others in the various roles,
served their old time reputat ions.
THE CASHIER.
This play was q comedy drama, re-
plete in sensational and comic turns
which delighted the audience. The
members of the cast are we'll known
to our readers, all having well estab-
lished reput ations III dramatic art,
which criticism can neither dethrone
nor praise enhance, and were justly
entitled to the high encomiums every
where heard OF them.

posed that the chairman appoint

sizing up the crowd named Chris

exceedingly comp ementary to Messrs.

that the chairman never once
thought of selecting any of the office

In comparing the list of senators
who voted to kill the bicycle bill,
with the statements made by them
on the anti-pass resolutions as pub
lished In the Milwaukee Sentinel some
time ago, it will be seen that nearly
everyone voting to kill the bicycle bill
also was in favor of retaining the
present pass system or was non
comittal, which amounts to the same
thing, while nearly every senator that
voted for the bicycle bill was out
spoken in favor of the anti-pass reso-
luton. Thus it is seen that the repu-
diators of party Platforms are in the
interest OF corporations and against
the interests of The people.
