TURNED THE JOKE.

They tel story of Father O'Shea, priest who was well known in Wash ington county, who had some local note for his quick wit. One of his Presbyterian friends was fond of hay ing joke with him. They met one day at the pcstoffice, where there was quite a crowd waiting for the distri- button of the mail which had just ar rived.
 Mice day, Father O'Shea," said the man.
 Tt is a nice day, indeed, sir" re- piled the priest
 T suppose you read the news of the queer doings down in Texas?' said the joker interrogatively
 T did not" replied Father O'Shea. Whats going on down there?'
 They're hanging all the priests and jackasses in the state,' replied the joker.
 Well, weI,'' commented the priest. tits lucky for us, isn't it, that you and l are not down there ?''-Pittsburg News.

Mines and MininQ

conducted nicely and without a mur- mur. They have ether claims near by and say they will stay by the country that has stood by them.
 THE LONE PINE SOLD. Another good sized mining deal was closed on Tuesday in which George Rhopeter dispcses of his Lone Pine Property in the Big Bug district. The mine is situated about three miles from Huron station on the P. & E. rail- road and is one of the most promising prospects in that section. The ore is said to carry 29 per cent ocpper and also to run well in gold and silver and weekly shipments made from the mine during the past few months have given excellent results. William ClaypOOl of the Arizona Ore company had his attention attracted to the property some time ago and secured an option from MT Rhopeter. He immediately entered into negotiations with Denver capitalists and after thorough in spection of the mine Q. deal was made as above stated. From reliable infor- nation it is learned that the price to be paid is $25,000, 10 per cent Of which is to be paid down and the balance within one year. MT. Rhopeter also
 
 from his present workings, the new purchasers to expend their money in new ground entirely. A large force of men will be put to work at once and machinery will be placed on the prop erty as soon as needed
 STRIKE IN CONGRESS.
 Reports today are nying around that an immensely rich strike has been made in the Congress mine, in the deepest workings. The statements to reach us are that on the 2,000-foot level ore running fourteen ounces per ton has been found, and on the 1,7J0- foot level the ore body has widened out to twelve feet. The above reports are not confirmed however, but are of so general circulation and emanate from that center, must be relied on to a cer- tain extent as being true.
 OTHER NOTES.
 B. M. Belcher, who with Messrs. B. H. Smith, Merwin and McElwin, owns the Polar group Of mines adjoining the Crown Point group, has recently been d-iwn to take a look at the properties. He states that the new mill on the Grown Point is about completeid and ready to steam up, and is one of the finest plants in the country. It is of ten stamps with a capacity of twenty, and is heavily equipped in boiler ca paGty. MT. Beloher says that work on the Polar group has resulted in a very satisfactory showing for that but until the purchase of machinery of an improved character over the old windlass mode, ]

work will soon be suspended. The deepest shaft on the claims is 100 feet, besides which there are various drifts. stopes and cro5scuts, in each of which the showing of ore is gratifying. The Crown Point claims, he says, are re-
 ported as looking well, also, and all
 together he believes that section has a bright future ahead.
 B. B. Thayer, the representative of the Heart estate in this part of the country, has been looking at some propositions near Prescott this week, and it is possible that in the near fu- ture they will begin operations in this part of the country again. MT. Thayer is seeking copper properties.
 Denver capitalist has written to friend here that a large amount of cap- ital would come into Yavapai county this year from Colorado. He says that mine owners in that state have placed such exoIbitant prices on their pros poets that nobody can afford to invest, and hence small capital is seeking other fields, the greater part of it he ing booked for Arizona and Yavapai county in particular.-Jcurna
 There are more men in the hills of Yuma county today searching for gold and copper than have engaged at that business at any one time since the civil ization of the desert began. New and important finds are daily being made and development work on oder proper ties is being vigorously prosecuted. A new era is dawning and the mineral resources of Yuma county will now be developed in earnest. There is no ex- citement or foolish speculation; men are mining in a business-like manner, which will bring to the surface the l cal worth of the county. ProspectCrs have learned that a ten-foot hole does not make mine, and have changed their tactics. doing more work and less Within the next six months at least one hundred prospects in Yuma county will be in condition to invite the attention of capital seeking profitable investment. A healthy growth in mining means prosperity in other lines of industry, and, taking all together, the future of Yuma county looks exceedingly bright.-Yuma Sun.
 Tom Hamilton, the genial merchant of Ehrenburg, left fer Los Angeles this for the purpose of closing up a mining deal in which he and others will receive a cash payment of $10,OO1 Yuma Sun, a&

Mining activity prevails in and
 around Prescott to such an extent nowadays that an cid time boom IS but
 the natural result if conditions do not change, which is very improDaDle. ol-
 lowing on the heels of strike here, a couple of sales are reported elseWneFe. Mining men are coming and going Dy the score. and each mail brings num-
 berless inquiries. while leases, bonds and options are of but common and or dinary interest. It seems in short as if the old song of the '49er, Pack up your duds in a champagne basket.
 will soon again seize the soul or the miner unless a change comes over the scene A beautiful feature of the prominence today of Yavapais mining interests is the indisputable argument that successful operations are follow ing the investment of capital on mines that have for a generation been opened up more or less, but unfortunately idle from lack of means to develop. It can be said truthfuIly then, that our min ing activity is traceable solely to prac- tical work of years, and that new strikes cn the surface are of but little bearing for the present at least.
 THE BUSTER SALE.
 As anticipated by this paper lew days ago, the sale of the Buster and Standard group of mines was consum- mated in this city yesterday, and by this transfer s33,500 was paid to Messrs. J. A. Forbes and John MeKen- zie The purchasers are Baltimore people, who were represented here by Messrs. G. H. Hooper and T. c. Will Hams. The property affected in this sale lays in the Bradshaw mountains, near the Crowned King, and is some what. extensively opened up, there be- ing a shaft over 125 feet deep, tun- mel over 500 feet in length, besides va rious other openings. The lead is strong one also, running from three feet to seven feet across, the ere being as high as $40 per ton. In short the property is rated very highly by min ing men, and has a good feature at tached to its future operations by hay ing an abundance of wood and water MT. Williams left this morning fer San Francisco to purchase ten-stamp mill and before leaving authorized the placing of men at work at once. The mill to be placed on the mine will, however, have a capacity of forty and the machinery is to be of the best and most improved design. Messrs. Forbes and Mckenzie are typi- cal mining men and possessed of that genial fellowship characteristic of that calling, and it is gratifying indeed to know that for years of hard labor and i privations they are at last reaping | their reward. These gentlemen speak | very highly of Mir. Williams, all mat | ters pertaining to the transfer being |
