 From parties who arrived last aven- ing from Nac0sarri, an Orb reporter learns that the Gregg -Normire mining property. consisting of ninety-four per finances, had been sold to John A. Cruse, representative of the Sonora h. vestment and Improvement company. The price paid for the property is said tc be $45 900 in gold coin. The prop e1ty is situated about nine miles from Nacosarri, where the Montezufna com pGny is at work The claims show up an abundance of exceedingly rich cop per ore on the surface. So far the depth of the ore bodies has not been deter mined as all the work has been done on the surface. From parties who have seen the prCpery we learn that if the ore bodies go down the mines will be one of the biggest and richest in the state of Sonora. Several other parties were after the mine and an of fer of $40 000 was made or it about a week prior to it's purchase by MT. Cruse.-Bisbee Orb.
 The construction of a wagon road over the noun tains to Mesa is again demanding attention on account of the growth of our mining industry Those who have given the project at tention say Q good road can be built for $8,000 that will allow an ordinary team to haul over it without difficulty The distance from Globe to a point on Queen creek and on the level road to Mesa is about twenty-five miles. From Globe to Schultz ranch, a distance of ten miles, the road is good. After leaving the latter place the route runs down Pinto creek to the Stone cabin. There is already a demand from the miners on Pinto creek for a road that they can haul over. The difficulties are numerous in getting supplies on Pinto-stoves for instance have to be taken apart before loaded on pack ami mals. The grade for a short distance beyond the Stone cabin will be a little heavy before entering the Haunted canyon which will furnish fully six miles of nearly natural road; and then on to Buchanan's wood camp. This mining camp would be another Silver King for the Mesa country.-Globe Times.
