 Word was brought in yesterday that another promising strike has been made in the Azurite mines. A few days since there was a strike made in the main drift of a large body of me dium grade ore, the average of which is about ten per cent copper, some gold and silver. The strike just reported is in the east drift on the 20 foot level The ore body is fraction over five feet. Over three feet is black sul- phurets, which gave returns yesterday of 34 per cent copper, 1872 ounces s1l- yer and s3 gold On the hanging wall is twenty-one inches of green carbon ate. which gives 10 per cent copper, nine ounces silver and a fraction over s in gold. This is good showing and demonstrates that the ore Dody which shows the same character on the surface and like richness, reached from the 200 foot level. Some ore taken from the croppings on the crest mine. located at an altitude Of 50O rect from the level of the shafts mouth and of 700 feet from the lower levers show copper 2-3i per cent, ana li ounces silver and some gold This IS q fine showing.-Tucson Star.
 The annual meeting of the Prescott mining exchange was to take place last night. Mentioning the matter the Courier says: The principal business to come before the meeting will be an election of officers and report Of com mittee on the smelter proposition Both are important, but more espec- ially the latter, for upon the erection of at or near this point of some sort of an ore reduction plant suitable to the ores of this section hinges the ma terial advancement of Prescott, as commerc al center and place where men can do paying business. Of
 lyC backed by an unexcelled climate Prescott vii certainly become a great health resort and city of beautiful homes; but, with all that, it will be sleepy old place without great mill or mills to treat the main product Of the country We have now with us a. gentleman, MT. Best, of the Beam Process company, who offers the fair est proposition ever made here on the ore reduction works question, unless some other proposition has been sub mitted quite recently. If there is any way on earth for us to have a few cog wheels running and a few smoke stacks vomiting tax-paying smoke in Prescott, let us have them.
