 Hitler for the Coclleen mine, east of town two or three miles.
 Geo. R. Sutherland is working ten men in the old Crook mine, in Crook canyon. They are engaged in both sinking and drifting, and are taking out fine ore. The mines are looking splendid.
 Max Cantin, who is in town from Lynx creek today, reports the find ing there on Sunday by prospector of a thirty-fye ounce nugget of gold. It was found near the old shelton group of mines.
 If the details and figures given by a correspondent of the Chicago Record are exact concerning one of the pumps of the Calumet and Hecla min,, 1t IS, without doubt, the greatest mechanism of the kind in the world, it's capacity of water delivery being some 2,500,000 gal Ions every hour in the twenty four, and even then without reaching its utmost.
 A very rich strik was made re gently in the Summit mine on the Lynx creek divide within about a mile and a half of the Chicago com pany's property. Samples of the ore taken out were shown at this office today, and while no assays had been made of it, gold could be seen sprinkled through it in large quantities, and Sl,00O per ton would be a very conservative estimate oi the value of these samples.
 W. T. Little has the new double compartment shaft on the Red Rock mine. in Chaparral district, down over 100 feet. The ore in this new shaft is even better than in the old shaft, and the indications now are that the Red Rock mne will develop into a dividend payer very soon. MT. Little secured sample the other day containing native wire copper The ore, when crushed, banned out rich in gold also.
 Mining men, men who mean busi- ness, are turning their attt ntion to Jerome. The Hull properties will undoubtedly be bonded to one of the best inning companies in Ameri- ca during the next few days, as negotiations are now going on 10 that end. The Hull-Winningham properties have already been bonded, work to be commenced at once. The working of these properties means much to Jerome. - Jerome News.
 There is considerable mining ac- tlvity around the head of the Has sayampa and it will not be long before there will be three mills pounding away on ore. The Chi cago company's mill IS already in operation day and night. Superiu- tendant J. $. Douglass of the Senator company is getting the Senator mill in readiness to start up soon. and Superintendent Tullgreen, of the Storm Cloud, is building a mill to treat the ores from that property. The latter will have a capacity of from ten to fifteen tons per day and will be used in pros- pecting the property.
 A strike was made on Saturday in the Pauline Lucky, about one mile from Red River which assayed Sl46,- 900. The assay was made by k. A. Strain. It was an one-eighth inch streak of sylvanlte in an eighth inch vein. It is owned by the Pauline Lucky company with headquarters at Red River. Considerable excite ment exists on the streets of Red River and specimens which have been placed on exhibition at But ler's store attract large crowds eager to see the formation.-Las Vegas Optic.
 The White Hills 40-stamp mill has been running at times this week priming things Tor steady run. The machinery runs like clock work and undoubtedly it Is the finest mill in Arizona. Mcfarland, one of the firm that furnished the plant, was on hand to direct the works, and all concerned were we'll satisfied with its movements. It may be several days yet before all the little details are attended to and the big works start of for a long run. The com pany have thousands of tons of ore on the dump and blocked out m the mines for the mill to stamp oD, aud steady and profitable output of bullion is assured. The late decline in the price of silver has caused some anxiety, but it IS safe to say that the high grade average of the White Hills ores will allow the mines to be worked right along. The water supply from the Treas ure is large and increasing and there is no longer a doubt but what a sufficient amount of water will be secured to operate both mill and for other uses.- Mineral Wealth.
