MINING ~re ~,-.


 Mohave Miner: Thomas McMahon is in from the Nlghthawk mine. It is reported that he is clearing up s20O per day from his lease. MT McMahoD Is one of the best miners in the coun- ty and the Nighthawk is one of the mines.
 Belt; The Arizona Copper company of Clifton, will soon put on large number of new men. which will be made necessary by the two new con centrators now going in The com pany is building several large, new buildings and also fine two story brick library which will be free to it's employees.
 Arizona Gazette: J. K. Murphy Is steadily developing his Gold Rug mine, situated about sixteen miles northeast of Wickenburg. in the Black Rock district. He has about 800 feet of work done, all in good ore. The ledge averages 30 inches in width. That it is paying property no one doubts who krows Jim, as he would work no other.
 Yuma Sun: w. II. Knotwell will leave in day or so for Castle Dome, where he in engaged in lead mining. Mr. Knotwell has been employed for some time in Gandolfo < Sanguinet- ti's mines, which he reports are look ing splendid. and he is also interested in some properties which bid fair to develop into rivals of anything in the district, The lead mining industry of Yuma county is looking up.
 Mohaye Miner: Thomas Tyrell, who owns mining claim in WallapaI mountain, was in hingman Sunday last. He says he has opened up fine body of ore on his claim, and exhibit ed several rich specimens as a sample The ore was a solid mass of horn sil- yer and gold The mines of Wallapai mountain have produced hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold and sil yer and ought to be heavy producers at the present time.
 Mohaye Miner: Thomas Lyons and Frank Dewey had a carload of ore from the Prince Albert mine, White Hills, worked at the sampler last week which netted big sum of money. Two tons of this ore ran l 600 ounces silver, and one ounce gold to the ton, while the balance ran over 200 ounces silver and one-half ounce In gold It was thought that the Prince Albert mine was worked out, butrindcations are that there will be many hundred tons of ore taken from the old mine before the year is out. Another lease on the mine shows eighteen inches of very rich ore in sight.
 Yuma Sun; The Daisy Dolores lode mining claim, in La Paz district, about ten miles east of Ehrenburg, has about $500 worth of work done on It, including a shaft sixty-one feet in depth, and numerous open and cross cuts, drifts and such work. The ledge is twenty-four feet in width and With extensive machinery to work it would pay all the way across, In the absence of large plant for extracting the gold, however, the larger portion or the ledge will pay to work, carry Ing ore containing about SIP per ton 10 Tree gold, to say nothing of consid- eFable value which would be saved by concentrating Alta depth of sixty One feet the ore is about seventy-flse per cent free, while the balance of

Wilcox News The gentlcuien who accompanied Mr. II. A Morgan to Table Mountain camp. were Dr. En- dich. mineralogist of the Table Mountain Copper company. and Chas. II. Sisson, son of Col. Sisson, pres ident of the company. The gentle men were agreeable surprised at the favorable condition of affairs at the camp. They found the two tfty-ton smelters in operation, with 35,000 to 10000 lbs. of fine copper in the form Of large ingots, ready for shipment.
 Prescott Courier: Messrs. Wander derbilt & Shirley, who held a bond on the Swindler mining group, have sold same to the Congress Mining com pany. The Swinder was first loca- ted and worked as gold property, but developed into a remarkably good copper mine. The ore body IS from 10 tO 20 feet wide and widening with depth. lt Is located one and one-half miles from the Agua Fria and 300 yards from the taxless railroad. It Is said that it bids fair to rival in output the mines Of the United Verde Copper company at Jerome.
 Star: Sylvester w. Purcell and his father came in yesterday from Gold Guch camp. The latter will leave for Us home in El PasO tonight. From the son 1t was learned that the three assays from Fortune ran in gold from S200 to S7OO per ton The ore is free milling. At present only little work i, being done so that depth will be necessary in order to determine the extent of the vein. The prospects grow brighter with the work and those interested in Gold Gulch feel confident of future results. In few days five tons of ore will be hauled ia and test will be made from which it can be ascertained what quantity may produce. A half mile from the Pur- cell workings it Is understood d strike was made aud gold banned fairly well. All who are in the district feel that the future is bright for those who stay with the work.
