 Tae Chicago Gold Mining and Reduction company, of which Nick Gales is superintendent, expects to start up its mill on Cherry creek again in about two weeks. The mine is looking very promising at present. A small shipment of two and a quarter tons of ore was made recently To the Prescott sampling works. from which they received re- turns for over six ounces of gold. As soon as the mill is started up they expect 10 commence sinking and will sink l50 feet and open up three more levels.

 There is possibility of a new Klondike right at our back doors here in Nogales. Mir. k. Ekey, Of this place, has found some very good wash gravel near the Santa Cruz, ten miles from here. The exact location of MT. Ekey's fnd IS not given, as he of course wants to stake out and perfect bis own claims be- fore making 1t known. lt Is said some of the dirt shows up 90 to 60 good colors 10 the shovelful, which, If true, would make very rich dirt. The country arousd the Santa Cruz has been prospected a good many years. but so far nothing to pay has been found.-Oasis.
 A rich strike was made in the Hidden Treasure mine, on Groom creek, five miles south of Prescott, yesterday. C. W. Bennett and c. B. Mitchell, to whom the mine is under lease and bond from T. B. Whitesides. struck at depth of 40 feet and in l20 feet, lead that will assay over Sl00 to the ton. C. II. Bennett, father of one Of the lessees, brought a fine sample of the ore 10 this office this morning that gleams with free gold and concentrates. The vein IS eight inches thick. The Hidden Treasure Is the south e1ten- sion Of the Monte Cristo, and if the vein widens as expected will toe one of the best properties m that sec tion of country.
 During his visit east, s. J. Elem ing, purchased a large air com pressor with which be intends to start up eight drIlis in the Proyi deDee miue, which Is looking we'll as far as developed. Mir. Fleming was also elected president and general manager of the Chicago Gold Min ing company operating near the head of the Hsssayampa. The lat ter company's mill is now running on ore from the storm cloud group of mines which are being operated by W. G. Press. The latter proper ties are opening up in most satis- factory manner and should they continue it will not be long tIll a mill will be required exclusively to work their ore.
 The increase in the price of lead has stimulated the search for good properties of that character, in which Yuma county is thought to abound. The most notable discog- cry of recent date IS that made in the King of Arizona district by Dan Prince and W. h. Mormanduke, partners of John Nj. Speese and Dan Deyore. Four locations were made-the Silver Pick, Blue Jacket, Speese aud Devore. and on all of them the assessment work has al ready been done. So promising IS the outlook that orders have been given to sink on the Silver Pick, on which claim the ledge appears to be the widest. and the shaft IS now down about 20 feet. At this depth, the vein Is two and half feet in width, and assays from both Fl Paso and Los Angeles give aver age returns of 75 per cent. lead, six ounces of silver and Sl.00 in gold, the latter two metals, according to these returns, being present in in sufficient quantities to save. The ore is long way from the railroad, bu, being of such high grade It will pay to ship, even under the present state of affairs. When the railroad which is almost certain, sooner or later, to tap the King of Arizona district-is thing of reality, these lead deposits will prove a bonanza. Yuma Sun.
 In an interview with the Denver Mining Record E. w. Sebben, a Colorado mining man has the fol- lowing to say in regard to tue Ysqui river country in Mexico: "The state ot Sonora, Mexico, is a good place to mine in some instances, but the average reports that have been spread throughout the United States in regard to the millions of gold to be picked up and especially along the famous Yaqui river country, are greatly exaggerated, and have caused much distress to those who who have ventured into that part of the country with view of work the placers. There is no water ac- cessable, and the work that has been done was by dry process, which did not pay. The parties represented by Mir. Sebben entered the field with a view of spending if necessary Sl00,0O0 to get water upon these placers, but it was quickly de ciued that this venture would be a failure from the fact that the dirt is not sufficiently rich to justify this or any other plan of operation. He said that it is plainly seen it must have been the intention of the par ties wEo have circulated the wild reports of the great riches of the Yaqui river district to mislead and l those who might fall vic .;r, La tknir dnrinns and hn Ernnlr ]
