 Everywhere.

Silver is up to 62i under the gold bug administration.
 Lyox creek is said to be humm.ng and not foot of ground is open Tor location, building or any other par
 pose, for love, mooey or marbles I It is said that George P. HArring- ton, who IS now easl, will order a new l0-stAmP mill for the Star nine, be is the owner Of. and which lays near the Crowned Kiag.
 Word comes from Jerome tbat the Jerome copper company, of wsieh Rslph .Dillon is president, has made a rich strike in the prop eTty be.ar .e',sTrtf.ti r .'rr1 there.
 W. T. Little Is ..-akins A-.I sai,,- ping about eight tons of eoncen- trstes Per day. Everything about the mill and mine is running very smoothly and satisfactory.
 Jesse Robeson, who ls working bis Silver Cord mining claims on Fur key creek, reports returns of $500 from a car load of ore recently shipped by him. The ore contains both silver and gold, averaging about go per tou in gold Ani $50 in silver.
 FreIghteFs Solon Marker and Billy Roberts left Prescott this morning for Cherry creek with a load of ma chinery for l. Greenwood. who is putting up a mill on a property there, formerly owned by James Al len. Mir. Greenwood will put in
 three steam stamps 10 work the ore. The ledge is said to bA quite large, and rich in free milling gold ore.
 Thomas Roach is in town today coming from Pine creek. in the Brad shaws. He says that tbe Mohawk mIne, which he owns. Is being opened up and is yielding very sstisiaetory. Mr. Harlan Is running bis 5-stamp mlll on ore from the above and re- suits in concentrates from the plates give the mine sn excellent outlook. A big mining deal is reported as about to take place in the Bradshaw mountains, the consideration run ming into the thousands. Owing to the adjustment of affairs incidental to closing up the transaction, We are not permitted to mention the prop critics until the transfer takes place. Salt Lake mining men are, however, the prospective purchasers.
 A preliminary mining deal of un- usual interest and magnitude has just been initiated on a valuable and we'll known group of copper proper ties on Pinto creek, belonging to W. T. McNelly, Con Crowley, Al Sieber aud Dan k Williamson. The prop critics embrace seven claims and are bonded to eastern parties for fair price. Globe Times.
 The item which recently appssred in PheniI paper to the eject that capitalists had taken q bond on the Hillside mine from Lawler & Wells IS erroneous. Tie property bonded by the above parties, are their cop per properties m Eureka district and not the famous Hillside mine. The latter IS being worked 10 a slight ex- tent although work is not by any means being pushed on it. The parties who have bonded the copper properties, however, are pushing work on them.
 E. E. Wann, one of our energetic mining men, desires a correction made in the mention oi mining transaction recently. wherein it was stated that the Amulet mire on Lynx creek was sold to C. P. Collins. MT. Wann's name should have been associated to the deal instead of MT. Collins. A force of men are now st work on the above property, and MT. Wann says that like many of the old mines that have lain idle for years, this one gives assurance of being a profitable producer.
 E. I. and W J. Dowlen. of Denver, representing large English capital. have been in this section for several days examining the mineral re- sources of this country in general, and a number Of properties in pa-- ticular, with view of investing. They were induced to come here on representations of Col. Wallace. 'h are both practical and exPeT-
 nCed mining men. and have ex-
 ssed themselves as highly pleased
 uwhat hey have seen here.
 Speaking of the recent strike iu the mines of the Jerome Copper Co, the Reporter says: The Jerou e Copper company people are well pleased with the rock being taken from their tunnel this week. The company expected 10 strike good ore ia body at a distance of about 800 feet, but at a distance of 500 feet rich copper ore has been found in sn iron sulphida formation. This vas struck Monday and at time of going to press the ore continues the same. Every indication is favorable to the discovery of large body of ore. MT, ] Dillon thought enough of the dis covery to cable the news to his Scot land associates. Men working at the mine have brought a number of 1 samples to town and they may be . seen at several places-the anueX . for one. The tunnel has been driven ] through eight feet of the slate rock, which now covers the entire face of l the opening.
 From what we can gather it IS practically certain that a govern ment agent has been through this section during the last two weeks on | & mission of transcendent import ance to the people of the territory. It is evident that the party above referred to has been looking over the San Carloss reservation and per haps a broader field with a view on the part Of the government to segre- ! gate every miping district and To- cality on the reservation. If this be true it opens grSnder possibilities to the people of Gila county than they ever dreamed of. Hundreds of square miles of rich mining country, as new as Yavapai county was in the days of Weaver, WIckenburg and Peoples, suddenly thrown open for discovery, development and enter prise. An opportunity for thousands and a last chance for the aged pros pector whose steps have grown feeble in pursuit of the illusive golden treasure, a sure source of inealcuiable wealth not only to this communitr
