 | Superintendent Dan Dwyer Of the
 HeIYetla company came to spend the
 Fourth and incidentally to play ball.
 MT. Dwyer leaves today for his camp,
 one of the busiest of Southern Arizona.
 Preparations are being perfected 70
 push development at the Helvetia, and
 with view tc. that end 24 drill com
 pressor has arrived and will be put in operation at once. Supt. Dwyer will
 make thirty days test of three of the
 best drills now in use, and put the
 most experienced men in charge with
 the view of se.ecting the best machine
 after which twenty of the best will be installed at the Helvetia. Twelve car loads of lumber are now lat Vail station
 and will commence to move toward the
 mine tomorrow morning. The machin- | cry necessary to run the com3reS-
 sor went cut today.-Tucson Citizen. ] J. Edward Addicks, of Delaware; has
 force of about thirty men at work
 building a road into the Blue Bell mine and in developing the property. MT.
 Haggett is superintendent of the prop erty. c. P. Noble, who recently took a
 bond on the Silver Cord mining claim in the Agua Fria district, is making preparations to put a force of men at
 work developing the property. h. dications now are that Yavapai county will have not only one but two smelters. Other parties still are also figuring on another smelter proposi- tion while Wickenburg is also talking shelter. The more that are started
 the better for the country, provided ithey are all in operation. A smokeless shelter, though, would be as unprofit- able an article for advertising pur-
 poses as one can msgine.-Journal
 Miner
 Charley Brown left this morning fer the Santa Catalina mountains for the
 purpose of more fully exploring the mines recently located by himself and son Billy, mention of which has been made in these columns. Recent de- velopments have demonstrated to the Isatisfacticn of Messrs. Brown that they
 have a mine, the top rock showing high grade of copper with gold pre-
 dominating. The ledge is said to be four feet at a depth of five feet with out having as yet ascertained the eX- tent of the ore body. MT. BrC8n, Sr.,
 has had much experience in mining and is not at all likely to be taken away with croppings, although he is of the opinion that he has struck some thing good and will back his judgment and long experience by developing the property to ascertain if he is still be- ing lured on by an evil genius to the fate which has attended his mining operat liens of former years. His friends wish him better success than his form CT experiences, where he has spent thousands of dollars without receiving an iota of compensation. Charley still retains his youth-so to. speak-and if there is anything in the late find he will soon develop it.-Tucson Citizen.
 The richest of all the floats in the parade Tuesday was the four-mule- team of Azurite bullion, Pima county production; not that we have not other good producers, bu. it was the only float that was genuine, and for that reascn the public appreciated it. The AZurite has worked it's way down from the grass roots, paying it's develop ment as work progressed and not de- pending on stock sales in the east to carry to success something without merit It was happy thought cf Su- perintendent Morgan when he put a small output or nlS DulIlOH Ou LH0 street and allowed the public to gaze upon the true production of Pima county; had he more teams at hand several wagon loads would have been the attraction instead of one. While the country is cognizant of the extent of the Azurite anl1 the unprecedented output of the mine they rejoice to see these optical displays of the wealth Pima county is capable of producing. The Azur1te IS all right, and under the able management Of the present board of directors and the scientific treatment Of ores as adopted by L. w. Morgan, will | soon astonish the copper world. We hope the Azuri.e may soon develop into a property which all mining men who | have seen it prophecy it will be- That l will be enough.-Tucson Citizen
