 J.J. Reilly, the we'll known mining man, who recently returned from New York. reports an abundance of capital looking for investment. He says:
 Never ia the history of my ex- { perience have seen men so eager to get tbeir money out en gold or cop per properties. One gentleman alone whom l met, had clients repre- sen.ing S6,OO1,000 ready to invest in | favorable chances. Arizona is nov commanding considerable attention and wIll get her share eventually.
 No where in ny travels have l met with such Ill hammered people as there are to be found in the pub hc conveyances in New York. If a man occupies two seats you have to almost sit on him to get him 10 move which he does with pcrcine civility. What . contrast there Is to be found on other roads. The Michigan Central to New York not only gives you the best view Of the Niagra Falls but the tsdium attending long travel is dissipated by the politeness and attention paid to your comfort. From the passenger agent, O. W. Ruggeies. dOwE to the news boy ou the train, they are gentlemen 10 every sense aud aceeptatiOn of the term, and with the finest road bed in ths world, the tup to New York will always remain with me a pleasant memory"
 MT. Reilly further informs us that mining ground that will hold water" or in short that presents features of legitimate consideration to capitalists. can be readily and sue cessfully handled. h a nut shell, he expresses the situation as being decidedly bright for mining in Arr zons, and especially is the Yayapai mining 6eld eDqulFsd after. Reports today are to the effect that the old Crook niue, or a slice of the interest m the same. has also been sold, James Douglas of the Commercial company, being the purchaser. The price Is not given 10 the deed, but is said to run up into the thous ahds. The Crook Is one of the earliest worked gold mines ID Arizona, and lays but fourteen miles south of Prescott in a we'll wooded aud watered district. It is said of this mine that more free gold has been taken from the surface workings than from any other gold claim in the territory. IL is pretty we'll opened up and with future de- veIopment no doubt exists but what it will be good producer and one also that will be the means of stimu- lating others adjacent, to resume.
 NJ. H. Dodge left today for Groom creek and before leaving stated that his new five-stamp mill was due to arrive any day. He will rush the work of erecting 1t and feels some what elaied over the appearance of his properties.
 H. $. Deane, of Denver, aud who recently negotiated the sale of the | United Verde Junior claims of Je- nome, Is in town today and is purch- asIng very heavily of our merchants in miaiag supplies. Mir. Deane Is said to be one of the most successful mining men in the west, and his entry into the mining field of YaFa- pal, is 10 be weighed as of much significance to the prominence of this industry. He leaves tomorrow for Jerome and will place force of men to work.
 Another sale which was conum- mated early this week, which is given publicity is that of 3 group of claims in the Black Hills district. near Prescott, owned by Msssrs Askew. Stock Bros. and Hudgins brothers, the above claims going for ] S30,00O. Judge Sloan negotiated the above sale. They are said to be we'll opened up, and lying in such close proximity to the United | Verde they necessarily attracted at | tention and later their sale was ne- gotisted.
 | Ex-Supervisor Smith, who has recently come up from the Weaver section, gives au excellent account of mines and mining in that locality. Among the recent doings of interest he says that Superintendent Jones ] had let a contract on the Peterson group for the doing of 5000 feet of work. Generally the district is very active on other claims.
 ! In the vicinity of Wickenburg the hills are said to be full of men pros pecting and developing claims, and that more mouey1s represented by men anxious to purchase than in any other section of the country. New ground is being opened up, snd ! there is some little excitement over recent discoveries. Gus Heyman, a commercial man, who IS winding up a career of ! twenty-one years spent in running over ArIzona, says that the territory has never had a brighter outlook than it enjoys at present, which be | attributes solely as due to the On- ward stride of its mIuIng industry. MT. Heyman is at present in this city and makes the statement with out fear of contradiction, that of all western states or territories, Arizona is now rated at the most desirable field for mining money to enter. snd that the future promises we'll for every mineral section within its borders.
 4 sale is said to he on for a Big
 Bug piece Of property for a good sized sum, and the organization of another, will probably be corsum- mated inside of week.
