Every possible preparation had been carefully made.

What A Mining Expert Says About
 Our Mining Interests.

D. Browne, representing the Ameri-
 can Exploration company, on May q
 gave Kansas City Journal reporter
 the following interesting statement | concerning ArizOna's mining pres poets:
 T have just returned from Arizona 1 and the mining districts were never i in 9 mere prosperous condition New mines are being opened up and worke ed
 every day and the influx of outside 1 capital is remarka ble Our mines are productive or various ores, but copper mining is the most ramunerative a. present. I think that Arizona is far superior to Montana as copper pro ducet and the recent reports will bear me out in this statement. Our com p2ny operates many wagon trains ac- companying exploration parties, and just now we are working the Gila river country"
 Then the explorer and mining expert discussed the situation from a poor pros pector's standpoint
 ''There are hundreds Of wealthy men out in that district" continued Mr Browne, ''who have amassed their for tunes in copper in very short time There is Al Seiber, for instance. Every orc out there knows what a famous scout he was-how he was 3 terror to the ApacEes cn the San Carlos reser- vation. He has settled down or claim within thirty-five miles of the San Carlos agency and is wealthy There are many other instances where fortunes nave been virtually picked ID cut Of the ground.
 Arizona is the coming mining coun- try" said MT. Browne The old boom days of the west will soon be revived The country is not so barren as it has been painted. There ars many attrac- tions to visitors, such as big game shooting, and fish are abundant"
 bir. Browne left last night for New Ecrk, where he expects to remain for severa! weeks before returning to his exploration parties in Arizona.

Of the hill to the west which contains 9 great mineral dike. It is the pur- ! pcse of the owners to sink this shaft 100 feet. The ore on either side Of the l dec0mposed lime is 8 hard copper car b0nate, with traces of copper sulpnidn in the lower portion of the shaft. The ore produced from near the surface
 was very high grade and it WIS shipped to the old Amigo smelter, five miles distant on the Santa Cruz river, a structure which is now only a mass of eroded adobe bricks thrown into an indiscriminate mass. It was eighteen years ago that work was first dCne here, and this marked the first copper production of this district. When the 1 rich ore disappeared the shaft was abandoned. The wealth of this claim lies in the sulphide ores which are certain to appear when the water level is reached. The Bullion is the farth- est east workings of the camp.
 The Glance claim has an eighty-siX feet shaft. and there is a winze which follows the strike of the ore to the depth of the shaft where a drift runs to connect with the shaft. This drift runs sixty feet before the winZe and shaft are connected, but the ore is not lost sight of in this distance. The ere here is copper glance, oxide and hard carbonate. During the ten weeks which the Saginaw company operated these claims nine hundred tons were shipped from the Glance workings Ill the present development of this claim the walls have not been found. and there is some doubt that the district contains any walls at all. The ore, however, takes a uniform pitch of about 6 degrees from vertical. but this regularity of the vein is frequent ly broken by pockets and varying beds of ere appearing. There is the same lcached streak in the Glance which $ 9 noticeable feature Of the Bullion vein. The veins in all the workings show 9 regular course. and have the same uniform strike of east and west They stand on but a slight slant from vertical position, and the ore runs in a series Of veins with the gangue so much impregnated With copper that the whole chute takes the appearance of q strong, regular vein.
 
 TEere is sixty foot shaft on the Copper Queen, and a crOsscut which opens into 2n immense cave which produced 3 great deal of good ere. The vein Of the Queen is traceable on the Copper King claim, which adjCins the | Queen on the west. The average width | of the vein as il is exposed in the shaft | is about five feet, the ore being on the !

hanging wall. From the surface mai cations it dces not appear that the true width of the vein has been developed iii this shaft, and further work will expose the real worth Of the claim and reveal one of the strongest veins i'll the Martinique camp.

The Copper King claim has a shaft
 100 feet and a great open cut on tie
 surface near the shaft There is also
 an air shaft CT winze which follows the
 vein and connects with the shaft The
 ore starts with 8 width cf two feet
 and in the bottom of the shaft il IS
 eight feeo wide The ore from this shaft was very rich, and it was hauled
 to the Saginaw snelter for treatment. Beginning at the eastern end of this claim an open cut from ten to fifteen feet deep has been run which exposes the vein for horizontal distance Of 120 feet. Here the ore was quarried, and although considerable ore was smelted from this point, there still re- mains gccd sized dumps which show the product of the workings. This cut also extends upon the Queen vein, ana north Of tho cut on this claim an as sessmcnt shaft encountered some eX- ceilent ere.
 The Senator Morgan group, one mile north of the Center group. presents an interesting study for the visitor who is interested i'll mines Tn this group the Senator Morgan claim is the ecu ter Of interest. Here is a great vein frcn fifty to 100 feet in thickness, and extending Cn either side is vein matter which widens the whole to about 200 feet. The vein can be easily traced Cu the surface for over a mile. The ores present a cosmopolitan gathering 0f every manner of copper deposition. Azurite, silicate, black oxide of copper. sulphide Of copper. and carbonate of copper are found here The ores are more CT less intermiXed with oxides of iron, carbonate of lime, silicate of alumina. clay-iron-stOne and other siliceous minerals. The strength of the iron is concentrated in the center of this great vein and Cn the north side is the sulphide and on the south side carbonate and oxide ores. On the north side there is a surface crosse 1t which exposes a body Of ore eighteen feet in thickness. The hypothesis is by some experts that cham bers Of ere will be encountered in the development of this property, the veins simply leading the way to these vaults of copper wealth. There is q

Manila, March l5.-The march toward
Pateros, the second objective point OF
Brigadier General Wheaton's flying col

| At Pateros another disastrous lesson
is to be taught to the Filipinos, and the
American barrier between the northern
and southern wings of the rebel army is

termined warfare the American troops
have instituted against them. and it is

but General Wheaton's cavalry is at
the fank. securing the countryside.
Early In the morning, hearing the
| insurgents bugles sounding, SCOTS
battery dropped three shrapnel shells
into the woods on the left of the Pasig
church.
No reply was made, and the Twenty
second regular infantry advanced until
they encountered a number of volleys.
This fire was returned with interest.
The line then wheeled toward Pateros
in the following order: The Oregon vol
unteers, a cavalry detachment. the
Twenty-second regulars and reserve ar
tillery.
The troops followed the roads. while
the gunboats Ceste and Laguna de Bay
assisted In suppressing the fire on the
left flank. Three rebel canoes were cap
tured on the river.
The rebel sharpshooters at Caloocan
continue active, but no casualties are
reported.
The negotiations between General
Rios and Aguinaldo for the liberation
OF the Spanish prisoners have been
stopped owing to Otis refusal to al
low the Spanish commission to return
to Malolos, on the plea that If ransom
was paid it would increase the strength
of the insurgents against America.
General Otis has also refused to allow
General Rios to take arms and ammuni
ton from Manila to reoccupy the Caro-
lines It ia reported that the Spaniards
at Zamboanga sold quantity of am
