 strike Of rich ere was made in the Milton shaft of the Azurite this week and the vein which carries Inc nsw orc is found to have an extensive width. The ore was enccuntcrai a. sixty feet which has given the Azur;te an envi- able position among the new carlps of southern AfizCna. The great w;d,h Of the vein. witch is estimaIed at twelve feet, will make the Milton workings valuable addition to the AzuTite prop eT5y. The ere struck carries slJlphide and carbonate of copper, and the av- craze value of the vein is placed at 5 per cent. The first shipment CT his high grade ore has been made e the sme.ter, and the force will probably soon be increased here to give the smelter a greater quantity of the new product Of the Milton. Such strikes as these are to be expected in the devel- 0pment of the Azurite I'erha9 95 the

 The knowledge Of a nswspaper re- porter in any special line must ueccs- l sariiy be Of a comparative nature. In writing of mines during the past three years in Arizona the aim which ! have been guided by has been to write of the mines as I find them. The Obsar- vatiOns are made with particular ref ! erence to news value, with 9 sprinhiils ! Of techniCality to satisfy he mining | men.

The Azurite in my judgment jois.s 5be class of new mines of which the Black stands at the head. ana both of these mines will become great pro ducers cf copper within T shcrt period. The Azurite has the same great ore bodies as tke Black War or, and in one respect it has du adv1nt- age The ere Of the Azurila it's own fux. while the Black Warrior ores have to be first Leached and the copper 5olution then smeited. But the copper values in the Black Warrior ores will warrant this additional expense. At any rate the Azurite has bright future, and be ieve that it's fame will spread to all parts Of the country when the work ngs have been thoroughly developed
