Graham Bulletin: Ncphi Packer Of Duncan. was in ,hn"nville this week. MT. Fucker rrp"r's that he and his brotl,r Alonzo have recently located some good mining claims in the Mayflower mining district, ten miles mort h of Duncan Assays from these claims make d splendid showing. One assay gave 4i per cent copper, 4i ounces in silver and Sl0 in gold, while another, taken from ten foot shaft, gave l7 per cent copper. lS3 per cent lead, II ounces in silver and 60 cents In gold. MT Packer thinks that from all the mines siirrounding Duncan, sufficient ore could be furnished to keep a small reduction plant busy. Th's would encourage fur ther development of mines and would be great convenience to the owners.

of the late Dr. Scott Helm of Phoe nix, was in the city yesterday iron Los Angeles. He had business witt the land office in regard to closing uI mining patents in the interest of the South Bisbee Copper & Townsite Co He said that the company's force wa down 800 feet on the shaft anC were crosscutting at the 7OO foot level.
 Prescott Courier: J. H Johnson the telegraph operator, who recently returned from Judge Bethune's Rough Rider mining camp, will leave today for hunting trip in the Camp Verde section. He reports the Rough Rider mine showing up splendidly at z depth of forty feet, aud that Judg, and will sink the shaft several hun dred feet deeper.
 Star: Word from Helvetia is. to the effect that the smelter Is running and turning out 400 pounds of copper every hour and is not running more than two-thirds of it's capacity. It i: also reported that they have developed immense bodies of high grade sul phide ores aud the end of the crosscut has not yet been reached. A second jacket will be installed shortly. The force in all departments aggregates 300 men.
 Arizona Gazette: The Whipsaw copper mine on Castle Creek will be the next big surprise in the mining world of Arizona. Parties who are familiar with that property say it is a great mine. The ore is exceedingly rich in copper and carries from S5 to s40 per ton in gold. The owners Of the Whipsaw are not saying much about thls mine, but they are taking out large quantity of very valuable ore.
 Journal Miner: A depth of about 100 feet has been made on the Bau. mann group of mines, near Agua Fria, with the diamond drill and quite d good body of sulphuret ore has been encountered. Mir. Baumann has eight men at work doing assessment work on the group and has two men at work taking out ore from the Laura mine. The latter are taking out two tons of ore per day, which is being freighted to the Val Verde shelter.
 Journal Miner C. A. Van Zandt has taken bond on the Butternut group of mines on Big Bug, owned by T. w. Boggs, and went out yesterday with supplies and men to start work developing them. There are three claims in the group, all of which show up good ore and the Butternut parti. cularly being very promising Mr. Van Iandt is backed by abundant eaP!ts! and viii push development work on the property, as the present showing is of sufficient importance to justify the belief in their making big mines.
 Globe Belt: Adoiph Jacobs returned on Tuesday from trip to Mineral creek. He reports much activity at the Ray camp.

There are generally about two hundred guests who require luncheon, and each pays fifty cents plate. From fifty to seventy-five delegates are entertained over night. There has been a most hos pitable and enthusiastic spirit shown by the clubs with regard to this matter.
 The meeting to decide as to the invita- ton was held at the Central club upon the call of the state president, Mrs. T. K. Noble, all the executive committees of the five clubs being present. The clubs, when the matter was laid before them by their executive committees, voted enthusia sticaIly to give the invi- tation. This being received by the state board, was accepted.

HAD SOME PARROTT STOCK.
Hartford Holders Realized by the Ad-
 vance

Hartford Holders Realized by the Ad-
 vance
 About six months ago the customers of H. H. Skinner, a Hartford banker were quietly informed that there was likely to be something choice in the stock of the Parrott Mining company. The stock was then selling slowly at 22 Der share, par value 10. It promptly dropped to 20 but, after hanging there for a few weeks. it began to climb. Tuesday the Hartford holdings were sold out at between 70 and Il. Some of the sellers hesitated believing that the chance of 100 is better than that of 50 for the stock. But they all went out hereabouts. One purchaser, living in Lltchfield county, whose investment stands him in about $S0,00G of clean profit, has so far resisted the inclinat ation to ''clean up" and retains his holdings. The others have let go One Hartford customer makes a profit of $23,000 and several make $10,00O each. They went in at all figures from 20 upward. IL is rumored that about 10000 shares were held here. Still more was bought in Springfield.

ENGINE JUMPED THE TRACK.

Exciting Race Between Two Trains on
 the New York and Derby Divisions.
 The passenger train which leaves this city on the Derby division at 5:35 in the afternoon met with a slight accident yesterday afternoon in consequence of which the business men who return to their homes on that train were subject ed to an annoying wait. The train leaves the station at the same hour as an accommodation train on the New York division, and both trains make the run to West Haven side by side. The temptation for a race is too great to be resisted and daily the passengers on the two trains enjoy a short but ex- citing race for a few minutes. Yester- day afternoon the Derby train got a good start and the engineer was doing his best to keep it. As the cross-over at the Spring street crossing was reach- ed, however, the New York train was pulling ahead. Here the Derby engine came to grief, for, striking the cross over rails with much force, the forward trucks leaped from the tracks and the engine plowed along the ties.
 A force of men was hurriedly brought from the shops near by and after a wait of half an hour the engine was again placed on the tracks.
