Coming overland from Table Noun tain to Tucson, by way of Mammoth and Mohawk, Ubiquitous notes that there is much activity among mining men. Prospecting outfits are ire uuently encountered, headed for the Aravaipa region, and they are all hopeful.
 There is barely any doubt but that other big strikes will be made in that section as the mineral belt extends from Aravaipa and beyond across into the segregated portion of the San Car los Indian reservation, and owing to the danger from hostile Apaches until quite recently the country has only been prospected in the most super f1cial manner. Properties like the Ia ble Mountain Copper company's and the Grand Reef had only to be encoun- tered by any intelligent prospector to induce him to put up his monument and make his records; but then the difficulty was to bring capital into a country involving the expenditure of thousands of dollars for wagon roads alone. This has now been overcome and two good, solid companies are at work, one at Table Mountain and one at Grand Reef, while across the divide and only about twenty-two miles dis tant are the Mammoth and Mohawk mines and mills, where one mill is running-and it is quite an extensive affair, and the other will commence operations as soon as the new three mile bucket tramway is completed, which will be operated between the mine and the mill. The new mill is on the San Pedro and is completed, the machinery tested, the fuel on the spot plenty of ore on the dump at the mine three miles back, and as soon as the tramway is completed operations will commence.
 The Table Mountain Copper com pany is pushing it's shelter as rapidly as possible and quite an amount of work has already been done on it.
 As soon as the carpenters are through at the shelter they will com mence the erection of commodious boarding and bunk houses, so that by the time the machinery is placed the pipe lines laid and all in readiness for operation, they will be ready to ac- commodate their employees in the most satisfactory manner
 One of the Cove brothers sons is now permanent resident Of the camp and is making himself fla m1liar with every detail of the prop erty in which they are interested.
 Oracle is a beautiful locality, but the writer believes that the place where George Bernard (our old bachelor her mit) lives, between Tempe and Phoe- nix, is equally as fine a sanitorium. if not better, the character of soil being ho -Is and It's accessibility far easier, besides river baths being within easy reach.
 tucson, the old pueblo, is improving little, but as to their street car line we can only say the Lord love them. because we pity them, for we have been there ourselves. Otherwise. Tue son is forging to the front, modern houses going up and transformation Tn others being made according to the most approved styles of architecture and sanitary requirements. The city or Tucson, however, has much to learn and far to go before she will be in fine same class as Phoenix.
 On our trip we ment Mr Frank Mon1ck at Mammoth. MT. Monick was scout under the government in the Wlld and woolly days-days which tried the metal of the brayest-an acted as messenger between Fort Whipple, Yavapai county, to Walnut Springs, near where Jerome is now located.
