The Oasis.
Another mine is now producer in
Arizona. The Meshackety mine, on
| Cave creek, near the Phoenix mine,
| has now three foot three-s5amp
| Huntington mill, propelled by water
| power. The mill runs like a charm, and

be run through Phoenix Republi-
can.

The governor of the Detroit Copper
company's engine at Morenci got out of
killer the other day and the engine
| iran away" The fly wheel got to go
ing so fast that the centrifugal force
was too much for the strength Of the
wheel and ii burst. The flying pieces
of the wheel demolished every thing
they hit, but luckily no one was in the
path so no one was hurt.-Tombstone
Prospector.
Frank Powers, the owner of the
"WOrld's Fair" mines, is a silver
bonanza king. The mine is developed
to depth of 800 feet and ore is being
taken therefrom which returns him
from So, 900 to S12 600 per car. 1t is
reported that Denver parties offer
S25. 900 for the privilege of sinking l5C
feet deeper and in case the ore held out
to pay $500, 600 for the property, which
was refused.
One of Arizona's chief sources of at
traction and product are her mines.
No section of country on the American
continent presents richer or more var
led field for the prospectOr or investor.
There is apparently no limit to the
mineral deposits and they have only
just been touched. Nearly every day,
from all directions come reports of ex-
lceptionally rich finds of minerals OF
different character, and as time goes on
there will be discoveries along lines
which so far, have never been sought.
Another great advantage is that work
can be continued throughout the entire
year. While in the north, the deep
SHOWS bar the prospector for months at
a time, in Arizona he is at liberty to
wander untrammeled by any of the OBJ
jectionable features with which other
less favored sections are burdened.
