IN YUMA COUNTY.

Yuma oounty's mining doIngs dur ing tha, past week included the sale to Chicago and Los Angeles people of the old Polh3mus group of copper claims. in Seneca mining district, including what are at present known as the Gregory, Grand Cross, Garfield, Grant, Romestake, Boston and Bay State mines, owned by D. J. Shackrow and James May, says the Yuma Sun The property is an old and extensively de- veloped property, which has produced many thousands of pounds of bullion. and the price of S50,O0O S6,0G0 of which has been pad down, is cans.d- cred an exceedingly moderate figure. During the original working of these mines the ore was shipped to Swansea, Wales. and the average Was amply rich enough to yield satisfactory re- turns. The occasional striking Of nich and extensive chambers ra.sed the az gregate of profits to a handsome figure but the low price of copper and the extortionate freighti1g rates finally necess.tated the cessation of activity.

 back that hot morning over his tracks of the day before The wey seemed
 twice as long, for, as he sad, his heart was too hehvy to carry" At last he saw his barrow and rick stand ing up on the fiat plain a little way
 off, and was wsarLgy dragging On to- ward them when he caught his toe against 9 stone deeply inbadded in the sand and fell down. His voice sank in a sort of awe-sUruck whisper as if it were almost at confession, as he said:
 ''Wlell, ma am, if you'd heleve me, I cursed awful I felt as ip it was too hard altogether to bear TO think that I should go on and nearly break my toe against the only stone .n the district and with all those miles to travel back So I lay there like Jobs friend and cursrsd God and wanted to die. After a bit I felt like a pass:on- ate child who kicks and breaks the thing which has hurt him, and I had to beat that stone before I could feel quiet. But it was too firm in the sand for my hands to get it up, so in my rage l sI9t out brfskly with the pick to break up that stone, if it took all my strength.

He told me he mad searched about thrsi slghborhooi of that nugget all day, bul. there was not the fafntest Toce of any more gold. So as he had no time to lose on account of the shcrtness Of the food and water supply, he started back to thlai coast, which he reiachsh quite safely and came down to Perth in the first stea1n- CT.
