 &According 10 reliable information | there has recently been tests made of the tailiugs from tbe Nulture l mine that show them t0 be very | rich. running about $50 to the ton. At Smiths miii, wLcre the Nulture | mill was once located, twelve miles | this side of the Nuiture mIne, about l l5,OOO tons of taIliugs have been | worked the past two years, from l which was cleared about SjO,OUO. ] Such good results being obtained | by use of the cyanide process caused l Senator Tabor Co have an iEvestiga- | ton made on the tallings from the ! Nulture This waste dirt and rock | Is spread out for SIX miles down the ! gulch from the big mill, there being | according to careful estimates, at ! least a million tons. With present 1 facilities for water at least one dol | lar a ton profit can be realized, and fl the supply is increased. even more l can be saved, as at smiths mill the l vsts were shoveled out rather thau washed out, to save water.
 A. A. Moore IS in town today with l a lot of ore from the Red Buck | claim at Walnut Grove which he is having sampled at the sampIing works.
 Two fine bars of gold bullion were brought Tn yesterday from the Crook mine, in Crook canyon.
 The ore which 4. X. Moore brought up to the sampliDg works yesterday from the Red Buck mine went Sl77 per ton in gold. They l have three men at work developing this property, ana it Is looking vhry promising
 A bond, for twelve months, was executed yesterday to Thomas Whit l ney, of Chicago, for the Connec:icu. | mIne, in HasSsyampa district. The ] owners of the mine are Fred Sattes, | Juan RObles, Julian Mora and Ieter | Omallia. The purchase price of the | property, under the conditions of l the bond. is 5000, of which $500 | was paid m cash, the balance to be i paid within the year. The mine is located only about six miles from | Prescott, and Mir. Whitney expects to erect a mill soon for working the | ore.
 The JoURNAL-MINER man was shown some ore today which wSs | good for sore eyes, as the gold was sticking out of it on all sides. The | piece was about three inches square by about six or seven inches in | length, and gold was visible on every side. This particular piece would go away up in the thousands | of dollars per tOn. lt was taken | from near the surface from a claim | owned by Richard Crow and An drew Peterson, the clam being an | extension of the celebrated Grey | Devil mine, owned by T. l.. Peerey, | in Weaver district. MesSrs. Crow | and Peterson have eight claims there which they are developing, and fl they can only develop a few tons of ore like this sample they | will have enough to make them rich. The quartz Is very similar in | character to that found near the surface in the Congress mine, and | tends to confirm the theory held by l many that the Congress vein extends | for a long distance across the coun- try, and that the Fools Gulch mines, as well as a number of mines in Weaver district, arc on the sane vein as the Congress. The ores of these various claims are very simi- lar in character.
 A large bar of gold was brought in today from the Lynx Creek hy- draulic works.
 Some very rich specimens of gold ore were brought in from the Brad shaw country by a local prospector yesterday. The ore IS free milling and so full of free gold that it does not need spectacles tO disclose it. 4 part of the ore assays S2, GOO a ton, while other specimens are permeatsd with free gold, ranging in value from $500 to S6O0 per ton for the entire pay streak, while the average of the entire vein is 500. Such prospects go to show the mining possibilities of this territory. and such mines will not long have to look for a purchaser or for capital to develop them. Undoubtedly, the field for mining investment in this section is better now than ever be- fore, since there are better facilities for the transportation of ores, min ing machinery and mining supplies. -PheniX Republican.
 Mining on the upper end of Groom creek is lively at present time. Soms new ground has been opened up, and there has been some new gold strikes made. We learn that a new five stamp mill is Co be erected near the Morgan camp,
 4 correspondent writing from Wickenburg to the Pheniz Gazette, says: The interest in mining mat ters seems 10 be increasing in and around this vicinity. We have had mining men of almost national reputation as experts down to the ordinary adyenturer in search of a chance 10 make few dollars in any convenient manner that may present itself, but many are representatives of the great mining syndicates and companies of the north and east, iu search of suitable properties for large enterprises.
