 An armed force undertook last Fri

 but failing applied to the Mexican courts and succeeded. The Costello
 party WAS the one busted, and
 Greene, Mitchell and Treadwell of
 the Mitchell party, took possession. l ] Malcolm MeLeish IS operating a
 cyanide plant OD the tailinEs at the l Mammoth miue, ID PinAl county. above Mesa City, which are turning
 out good values, and Mir. McI.sish 1 thiaks they Sill prove almost as trsoa as the old VultuIe tAilings which he worked for three wears nrins to taking up the operations at
 the Mammoth.
 A prOspectoF who returned rs,- csiitly from the Sierra Madres. in
 Mexico, reports having made q dis F coSery recently which he says will
 sehpsa all others made. The dis
 covery was made in Pilares mining
 distinct and be claims the ore will run SS.50O ID silver per ton. The
 discovery has naturally aroused
 great excitement throughout the country and every miner in that dis trict IS now hoping that such 90, d fortune will strike him next.
 New and expensive machinery for , the Silver King mine on Groom ' creek arrived in Prescott yest-idsy. It consists ol large hoist and pow erful pumping plant and will be at 1 once placed on the above claim. ( The Silver King is ROW under the ( control of Mir Mackin and other [ gentlemen. This property figured ( several years ago in wholesale liti- C gation, and since tLat trouble has been idle, the shafts aud other work ings filling up with water. As soon c as the new machinery is erected, g NIT. Mackiu will place large force U of men at work and handle the out l put at the Silver Flake mill, but two miles away. 2
 John Roe, who with I. T. Stod- C dard and NJ. :. Taft IS interested in ; a group of three claims on the Has ' sayamPa, received some good news U from the same yesterday. A big body ' of ore has been ruu into at a depth ' of 25 feet that runs $40 per ton. Mir. E Roe says he located these claims ' over sixteen years ago. and believing ' that old locations elsewhere were !, turning out handsomely concluded 10 do little development on his also, and Is pleased to think that hi. . labors are being sU pro6tably re- ', waTded. He IS preparing to go to s work at once on them and will place . a force of men on the ground. The 7, above claims lay but half mile from E the Pace ranch. N
 Cecil G. Feauell was interviewed ,- Ia Tucson by the Star. He - said that the Val Verde company :, expects to distribute in the purchase f of ore from S50.OO0 to SlO0OOO =, and keep this money cir ., within the territory. One .I lalf of this will probably be paid to ',' he small mine owner and producer n lf low grade ore, who would other =, wise have no market for his product. Is be ore not bearing the cost of ship io nent, to any distance" said Mir. Fen h, lell. "ln helping ourselves we feel .r ve are helping others, and that We =, deserve what l feel We have, VIE: the yT yood will of all truly interested in " he territory's progress. It trequired ., stamina for any com I1- 1any to take the initiative in a new .C ,nterprise in 8 new country" %
 The Florence Tribune says that io IS evidently on the eve of A th pig mining boom. The attention of of number of capitalists has been st- So rscted b the vast basin of copper ul many miles in extent lying out frou su be BUites, only ten to twelve miles Ina .bove the town IL IS undoubtedly mother such body as the Mineral reek basin, but nature has done pore to expose the large rich ledges nd stringers than 1t has on Mineral D, reek. Capital is flowing in to open bS xtensive workings. Quite 6 nun re ,er of locations are being made. hi Experts now On the ground express ", be opinion that there is no larger nj IT richer body of copper anywhere ia D the territory than right at our th IOors. Aessrs. Stone, Thomas. sp Harris, McGee, Mulhattou, Hardy nj nd Barker are among the fortunate su wners of rich claims Experts Chit Zf sndeB, COrbett, Merrill, McNamara, x3 .ilmsn and Davenport have also se- ured large holdings for their re- To pectiTe companies and are estab- DC shing camps to develop their prop by rites. tb
