work done that show up good ore bod ies, but in the main the prospects are undeveloped. I was pleased with the district, but we have not decided yet whether we will invest there. We are looking about the territory, and when we have found a property that suits us we will buy it.''
 NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS. J. F. Osenburg. who is working a l gold prospect near Congress is in the city. MT. Osenburg has a promising prospect. A good body of ore has been encountered.
 Clark Rankin of the Dan Thorn mine in the Santa Maria district was in Phoenix yesterday. He will leave shortly for his mine to start milling and cyaniding operations.
 The Yellow Log in Yuma county is well spoken of by all the mining men | who have seen it, and is considered far above the ordinary prospect. It is said that H. A. w. Tabor's visit to Arizona a few weeks ago was to make an effort to get control of the Vulture property. Mr. Tabor lost the mine on debt of S26,O0O which he was unable to meet.
 c. F. Hall, owner of the Mammoth mine at Goldfield was in Phoenix yes terday. MT. Hall is considering a plan to put in a cyanide plant at the Nam moth to work the large bed of tailings which have accumulated.
 The five stamp mill of the Free Gold of ta1ns, Yuma county, the property of the Rio Colorado Gold Extraction con- pany, is operating on ore being stoped from the seventy-foot level west from the main working shaft sunk on the Free Gold claim. The ore is very high grade.
 Charles w. Pauly, receiver of the Golden Cross mines at Hedges, in Yuma county, has filed his second otf- cial report with the court. The psriod | covered is from October 1 to February l. during which time three clean-ups of the plates of the mammoth 100 stamp mill were made and a total of S136, 6,593.1S realized. Under Receiver Pauly's administration there has been paid to the creditors of the Golden Cross company, on the debts incurred by the purchase of machinery, etc., the sum of S6O,00O, and there is at present about s3O,OOO in the bank to be devoted to further liquidation of these accounts, which were made in the opening of the mines and have ever since held the property down to a great extent
 From Gila City northward to the Potholes, on the west side of the Colo- rado river, and from there up the east side of Yuma county's great water way, to the Tyson's We'll country, there exists belt in which are ire | quent depressions evidently occasion ed by volcanic action, in which gold | has from time to time been discov- cred, and often in paying quantities, though no development has ever been done in them. The deposits thus oc- casioned are immense and might be worked at very small cost, in many places it being possible to mine the rock by quarrying, as is done in the Homestake property at Deadwood South Dakota, and the Alaska-Tread- we'll mines, on Douglas island. The rock found in these extinct volcanoes is generally porphyry and ranges in value from s1 to $8 per ton.-Yuma Sun.
 A mammoth deposit of low grade ore has been discovered and located at the mouth of, and immediately below Yuma Wash, forty-five miles up the river from Yuma, says the Sun. The locators are Prof. G. O. Pearce, J. A Hilbert and H. c. Davis, the firs named being the discoverer. The claims located are the Whirlpool which lies at the very edge of the rivel and through the west end of whic1 Yuma Wash runs-and the Two Mexi cans, Pearce-on-Colorado, Ringwal; and Davis claims. The latter four art situated a quarter of a mile from the Whirlpool and are intersected by z side canyon, the walls of which, 15t feet high, are solid red mottled DOT
 phyry, carrying low values in gold
 This deposit crops out on the surface
 5000 feet one way and 1000 the other
 and it is thought at a depth will b.
 found intersected with veins of ricl
 quartz, the formation being simila
 to the large deposits of fire clay nea
 Cornwall, England, which developed
 these rich streaks at a depth of POI
 feet.
