 Col. 4. o. Brodie is working about a dozen men on the Crown Point mine in Castle Greek district aud the property is in fine condition. This claim promises to develop in- 10 a good dividend paying proposi- ton. lt will certainly do so iI in- telligent, systematic and energetic work counts for anything in the development of a mIning property, aa it IS on these lines which Col Brodie operates in anythiag he has to perform.
 The new machinery for the Crowned King mill arrived on Fri day night and freighter Bruce load en it on his wagon early Saturday morning and started for the above camp wlth 1t, He expects to land it In camp either today or tomorrow and it will be immediately put in place and the mil started up again. The new cylinder for the engine is considerably larger than the old one which was broken, and the capacity of the engine is thereby increased
 Superintendent A. J. Doran is run ning a drift on tho loo foot level of the Yayapai mine. one of the Little Jessie group, and has four feet of good ore in the face of tbe drift. He thinks there IS . prospect of this claim turning out a nval of the famous Little Jessie mine. Out of a group of large number of claims the Little Jessie is the only one on which any great amount of develop ment work has been done. Several other claims of the group show good ore on the surface. This is notably so in the YSvapai, the Union and the IIeonderoga claims.
 Nj. R. Riley is working twenty-five men on the old Ryland, at Mime haha which scored a failure few years ago through mismanagement and through the disagreement of owners. Mir. Riley has great faith in tue property and very many others who have worked in 1t or who have examined 1t share th's faith with him and he is determined to make a thorough test of the property. The ore is not high grade but there seems to be SD abundance of it and if systematically and economically worked should be made to pay handsome profits.
 Jules Baumann today received a diploma and a beautiful bronze medal, awarded to him by the Worlds Fair for his exhibit of cop per ores at that exposition. Accord Ing tc the wording of the diploma, the award IS "for completeness in the collection and the richness of copper in the ores" and it further states, "a very good collection of Arizona copper ores, consisting of malachite, cuprite and rcd oxide copper ores" The medal, which is quite large, is encased in a plush hned aluminium case, the face rspre- senting the landing of Columbus, and on the obverse side is the fol- lowing inscription: Worlds Colum- bian Exposition, in commemoration of the four hnndredth anniversary of the landing of Columbus, to Jules Baumann."
