the Helvetia mining district to Jesse
 Lewisohn for $6OO0, says the Star
 These claims now form a part of the i Rosemont property.
 : John Wesseliche has commenced suit i to cancel contract against William Sic
 vert and John T. Hansen. The plain i tiff contracted last May to sell to the defendants a group of mines in Cochise { county for $25, 900 payments to be made
 in miscellaneous. Failure to pay install
 ments as due is given as cause for the Suit.-TucSon Star.
 ] J. A. Caskey, who is in business at Helvetia, is in the city. He reports i everything as ffouriShing at the banner mining camp of southern Arizona Be tween three and four hundred men are employed in the mines and about Hel- vetia in various pursuits. The company is pushing forward the work of deVel- opment and the Smelter will probably l-be running as early as expected.-Tuc- son Star.
 Charles Metcalfe's Stanley mine in Wallapai mountain now shows an un- i broken body of ore fifteen feet in 1 length in the tunnel, which is being run into the mountain on the vein and no break is observable in the breast
 The ore is worth nearly five hundred
 
 Frank Cofer of the Big Sandy is in
 Kingman He has just finished his contract on the Greenwood mine At a depth of sixty feet the water flow was too strong to handle with prini- tive methods and MT. Askew has gone to Denver for machinery. The mine shows a splendid body of ore and will undoubtedly prove a bonanza--MohaVe Miner.
 J. P. Finegan, the well known mining man and merchant of Chloride, was in Kingman Thursday last arranging de- tails of the sale of the Lone Star mine, Mineral Park, to Dr. Hamilton of Los Angeles. The Lone Star was one of the first locations made in Mineral Park basin and since discovery has produced hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of ore.-Mohave Miner.
 Charles E. Sherman Monday last brought to the sampler several tons of copper ore from the Copper Age mine at Mineral Park, says the Mohave Min CT. The claim so far has had very lit tie work done on it. Many years ago a shaft was sunk in break in the ledge to a depth of thirty feet, but the ore taken out was too low in value 10 handle and the claim was abandoned. Since MT. Sherman located the lead he has run crosscut across eight feet of ore carrying silver, gold and lead and four feet carrying good value in copper. From the crosscut five tons of lead ore carrying values of 20 per cent lead, 5 ounces of silver and a half ounce of gold was taken out. The vein is big and strong on the surface and ought to be a bonanza
 J. G. Hopkins, long a respected and honored citizen of Clifton, but now a soon-to-be resident of old Virginia re- turned here from that commonwealth last Sunday. MT. Hopkins has large mining interests in this district, upon which he expects to do considerable de velopment work this fall and winter, and it was for the purpose of com mencing the work that he returned. He has great faith in the resources of this camp, consequently expects to devote a great deal of his time here and ener- gies toward developing these resources Such men as MT. Hopkins are wanted here and few of them would make l this region the greatest mining camp in all Arizona.-COpper Era.
 c. M. Gorin is in Prescott from Bum hle Bee Flat. MT Gorin is one of the miners and prosrectors who have delved in the hills for 20 years past and at last discovered a mine which is rich ly rewarding him for his diligence in his chosen field of labor, for his Hidden | Treasure mine, in Rumble Bee Flat | turns out some of the richest gold ore in Yavapai county. The Courier says that shipment of thirty-five tons of | this ore yielded $40 per ton gold an- other shipment yielded $211 per ton gold, and there is a shipment of five tons of the same character of ore now on the road to Prescott. This ore has all been taken out in development work, as no stoping has been done The development work on the mine con sists of two shafts, one 40 feet, the other 90 feet
 These shafts are connected by a tl1n- Eel. The ledge is about eight feet wide. | the ore all carries gold. The pay streak is two and a half feet wide. The Hid Ge1 Treasure was so named because there We're no surface indications of | ore when it was prospected. The Sil- yer Cord Eline is near the Hidden | Treasure. The Silver Cord was the property of James Lowry, Jesse Rob- 1nson, Joe Mayer and MT. Mfres, and | Was purchased by Messrs. Noble and | Fisher.
