 Experts have been engaged in ex amipg the McCabe mine for some time, 1t is said with a view of pur chasing 1t. The owners Of the prop 'rty are very reticent in regard to IL lt IS known that the property IS pay
 ug handsome profit, and while Il is not iu the market in the true sense
 1 tbe word, the owners would nC doubt part from it if they receiv, what they consider 1t worth. In, work done SO far has been mostly ir the way of development.
 The Detroit Copper company bs, force of men at work developing q group Of claims on Castle creek recently purchased by them. They are known as the Jones mines, hay. ing been formerly owned b. the late Dr. Jones and Bob Groom. The com. pany proposes sinking 300 or 400 feet on the property and develop them thoroughly tO this depth. For thi: purpose a steam hoist will shortly be placed on them. The company is composed of wealthy men of De troit, among the number being See retarg R. A. Alger.
 Fred W. Coles and E M. McBrier have returned from their trip to the Garcia mine and have left for their homes in the east. They are the two largest stockholders of the company and under the reorganization of the
 omPany which has been effected Mir. toies was elected president The company wilt operate, however ,nder the original charter The two ,entlemen were highly pleased with
 he development which has beer made on the property and think il yill soon toe one of the foremost golI propositions of tue territory. Johr Llebold will take charge of the future work and operations vii begin in earnest ID the first part ol next month.
 Another big mining sale has beer effected iu this county, being that o the Gold Note property. The con
 ideraiiun is said to be S45.00O. oI which S15 GOO was paid in cash. Thii IS he property on which the Hearsl estate had bond for two or thr , years, ard on which several thousand dollars were spent in development work under the supervision of D. B Gillett. While the property showed up well a disagreement arose be, tween the owner and the manages of the esi ate over an extension of the bond and the latter pulled up stake: and abandoned il. The new pur chssers are said 10 have abundant capital to carry the propositi I through to a successful issue as nc one doubts the merits of the prop erty.
 Chas. Born and his two soss, A. E nd Cbas Born, Jr, have just com Jleted a deal for seventeen mining claims in Black Rock district, neal Wickenburg. Tue properties are copper, and while not a large amount of development work bs: been done on them yet, surface iudi cations are excellent and the woIk lone on them shows that they im- prove with development. T he pur. .hsseTs are capitalists of PheniI who made a small cash payment and have time on the balance. The price is not given out but Is away up in the thousands. The purchasers will push work on the development and expect to put up q plant very soon for the reduction OI the ore al- though a very large proportion of it is rich enough to pay big profits on shipping it.
 California seems to be the scene of the latest rich mineral strike, or strikes A recent telegram from Kramer, where the RandsbUTg rail road diverges from the Santa Fe, says: 4 wonderful discovery of gold ore has been made in the desert ten miles southeast of this station. 4 big ledge of ore ot fabulous richness was found several months ago and two men, Duncan Clarke and Colds berry, have been working on 1t s nee, They are down sixty feet. The ore taken out will assay thousands to the ton. There is a big rush into the district now. IndiO, on the desert of Yuma, also reports that William McHaney and Chick Pink ham arrived there recently with rich samples of ore found n River side county. McHaney says the mine is situated twelve miles north of Ipdio in the San Bernsrdino range The ore resembles the ore in the King of Arizona. The vein is four feet wide and the rock IS cov- cred with gold.
 Ed Block, the clothing man has hranched out into mining, having taken a lease aud bond on a claim owned by F. K. Stees on Big Bug. The mine has been a producer of good ore heretofore. There are two feet of the ledge which carries high grade shipping ore while there are three feet which is good milling and concentrating ore running from SIS to S25 per ton. Mir. Block was en- gagged in mining as well as in mer- chandising in Colorado and made a success in both branches of business. Since his coming to Prescott he has confn, d himself exclusively to his merchandise business. scoring a re- msrkable success in that line, but at the same time he has been studying and investigating the mineral re- sources of the country, and splen- did opportunity for investment Of- feriug in the above property be availed himself of it. He says the entire Big Bug. Chaparrsl and LynI Creek country is the best mineral ized section he has seen for a long time and his wonder is that greater progress has not been made in its
