MINING ACTIVITY
In the Castle Creek District Given
Splendid Impetus-Employes
OF Mines Increased.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
BRIGGS, Ariz., Oct. 2.-The
Crown Point mining machinery
is all in position and a few days ago
the whistle of the engine blew and
the pumps we're started. Today the
reduction of ore will begin. Every
thing about this property is spick and
span. The engines, the pumps, the
mills are all of the latest pattern and
brand new. The mine itself is
model. Few properties in Arizona
can show such excellent management.
Col. A. O. Brodie, of Rough Rider
fame, is giving personal attention to
the mine and mill.
DR.. J. M. Ford, of Phoenix, has just
completed a four room building at the
CopperOpolis mine. 1t is now one of
the most complete properties in the
Castle Creek district. Saturday q
large tank for the gasoline engine
which is to operate the hoist was re-
ceived. The engine and other ma
chinery is now at the siding at Hot
Springs Junction and will be received
this week. The mine is newly tim
bered to depth OF 200 feet.
The Whipsaw property put to work
an additional force of men yesterday
and more will be employed lateri in the
week. The Mining company is build
ing a smelter near the old shaft. AS
soon as it is completed, or probably be
fore, new shaft will be located and
work will be prosecuted in both the
new and the old workings.
Merwin & McElwsin are considering
the proposition of starting the old mill
at Briggs, on Castle Creek. 1t has

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
MONITOR, Arizona, Sept. 3O.--You
would like q letter from this part of
the moral Vineyards news letter.
This is poor place at best for news,
and you would think so, too, if you
travelled around these hills.
will tell you about Yuma, the coun-
ty seat, on the Colorado. We have a
population of several or more
thousand, consisting of Ameri-
cans. Indians, Mexicsns and dogs, the
dogs perdominating numerically. They
the dogs) are musical cusses at
night when you want to sleep and each
cur has a lady love Tor the moon)
which he is bound to serenade nightly.
So you see, the days Ray be hot, but
wings.
It is truly the land of the manana.
You need never do anything today if
you can possibly put it off for the NOR
row or the day after. Well, why should
one worry, why not take the world,
easy as the Mexican and Indians do.
They do not toll much, neither do they
spin, yet Solomon was not arrayed in
som brero and spin like unto their.
There are several good business
houses here, and some enterprising
We used back east to call it Isziness.
Below Yuma on the Colorado there
are thousands of acres, open now for
settlement, and as good land as you
have in Texas.
Court is now in session, presided
over by genial gentleman and good
lawyer, Webster Street. The docket
is like the poor mans corn crop, slight.
Scarcely anybody ever gets in jail, we
crimes and to INDECENT for larcenies
and burg laries; that would be too much
trouble, you know.
Col. Dorsey, from New Mexico, with
several friends from New York are
here looking after some mining pro-
perty. The colonel will rustic until
he dies; no rust out for him. He has
some good mining property, and in
fact there are many good mines in this
only do our location work on q grub
stake and trust Providence for the de-
velopment work.
Don't let me forget to tell you about
Mr.. Pierce Evans and lawyer, good
one of Yuma. Law business here is dull,
so Mr.. Evans put his brains to work to
get up wheel to raise the water from
the Colorado for the purpose of irriga-
ting. Mr.. Evans has no wheels in his
head or water on the brain, yet 1 feel
sure he or his wheel will surprise
many and benefit himself.
You heard about the big fire in
Yuma? Well, Mr.. Gondolfo is putting
up better build ing than the one burn
ed. He never says die. Mr.. Ssngin-
netto, whose goods were burned,
doesn't seem to worry much, and now
has more goods in the Gondolfo new
block than, anybody.
When you come to Yuma call on any
of the merchants. They will show you
the:city and tell you what they hope for
before they ask you to have a glass of
wine.

Big Movement In Cattle-Rdnge
Telephone To Be Extended.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
KENT, Texas. Oct. Been carp,
manager of the Reynolds Land & Cat
Kent, :calleG here last night and is now
en- route with large herd of stock cat
tie for the company's Pecos river
range. This movement will comprise
about 5000 head. They are also
ready to place about 5000
steers on the market. The
Reynolds Land & Cattle Co. is COM
posed of the leading, most experienced
and practical people in their line. 1t
years ago they bought out the Gomez
Land & Cattle Co., in which 81. L.
Newman, OF your city, was one of the
chief owners. The success of Messrs
Reynolds has been phenomenal and
they also quite recently absorbed the
large range and stock of Messrs. Roe
and Hardwich, about twenty-five
miles south of their Kent range. The
telephone line COZ meeting this station
with their Y ranch will be extended
twenty-five mrles.
A deplorable feature of the cattle
industry is this seasons extreme
shortness of water and grass; with
the latter of very poor quality, severe
winter will render heavy losses newt
able.
J. G. Rickle. our agent and postmas-
ter here during the last eight years,
will leave on tomorrow's west bound
for the Pacific slope. with Portland,
Oregon, as final destination. During
his absence w. L. Frame, of Transvaal
fame, has the honor, including the
salary, of being agent and pc Itmaster
at Kent.
We had wet norther today, but any
heavy rains at this time of the season
would be quite abnormal.
