MINES AND MINING
THE sToDDARD MINES.

ceSSG.S OI the 1OmDOy anu dnhee Ol4I mines in Colorado. They are not only capitalists, but practical mining men whose names are only associated with successful mining ventures; hence, they probably have larger following in mining circles than any party Of investors who have previously become l interested in this section. The Bing- hamton property which they have taken hold of in company with Mi Stoddard has been thoroughly exam ined by their expert, MT. P. Houghton, who has been in their employ for twenty years. Mir Houghton has re- gently examined copper properties in Mexico and ether sections in the south and says that he has seen nothing which equals the Binghamton group. MT HoughtOn will be superintendent of the properties, upon which work will be pushed on a large scale. A force of men will be sent dCwn to- morrow; improved machinery will be put ill and Yavapai will have another big copper camp and 9. second Jerome The Binghamton group is in the same mineral belt as the mines of the United Verde Copper company. MT StoddaId has expended $15,000 in de- velopment work upon it. The main UOuy of ore from eighty to 200 feet wide and HOO feet long. MT. Stoddard has had 400 tons of the ore smelted; the ore carries about 15 per cent copper The formation is iron and chloritic slate The ore lies between lime and slate. This property has no connection with the Copper Mountain group, which Mc Stoddard still holds intact. While Messrs. Bayly and Posey are, at pres ent building two of the finest resi- dences in Los Angeles. they have re- sided in Colorado, and are interested with Governor Adams in most of his mining ventures. and the fact that they have taken hold in this section will be a good advertisement of cur resources and bring more investment of like nature. Too much credit cannot be given MT. Stoddard for his lCng and patient wears of holding On to these properties and working them, frequently under the most adverse circumstances, and now that he has mining men of means, experience and reputation associated with him, he is sure to reap merited success, for nothing succeeds like success. - Prescott Courier.
 MINING NOTES.
 George Sarrick brought in some very rich copper ore this week from a recent find on the south bank of tho Gila river, twenty-five miles east of Florence. The ere is found in all ashy deposit, similar to that of the rich Innes strike, on Mineral creek. Samples of the ore can be seen at this office. A cut has been run across the deposit for thirteen feet, it's lowest depth being twelve feet, with no walls. The location was made on the 18th Of last month, and from present indica- tions it is a big prCpeIty-too pig, in fact, for the locator. to handle, anG he would be glad to give some respan- sible party working bend Being immediately on the bank of the river, the facilities for working it cheap1y by water power are all that could be desired. The proposition is well worth investigation. For further par ticulars apply at khis ofice.-Floreac Tribune
