 The indications are shat with the advent of 0 heavier class of capitalists there will be q new departure in mining in this section: that tunnel sites will be To- cated and long tunnels run through promising districts to tap known big ledges and possible blind 1edges. There is said to be Q most promising location for a tunnel site commencing at the Sun Dance mine and running from thence to Turkey creek. Such tun- nel would cut at least twenty known quartz ledges, some of them big ones. Prescott Courier.

The cross. is visible to the naked eye from Prescott to a person of moderately good eyesight. Test your eyes by looking for it. Prescott Jounal-Miner
 The Star is pleased to note that George J. Hilzinger, well and favorably known in Tucson, is about to become famous as an author of classic merit. He has recently written a book, which is in the hands of one of the most re- SpCnsible publishers of the east, and who after giving it the crucial test of the severest critics declare it to be a production of superior merit, and have contracted for it's exclusive publica- tion MT. HilZinger is a genius, a i scholar of superior merit and enjoys ! an individuality of character, origi- 1 nality of thought and expression which | will place him among the foremost i American authors.

If these rich strikes should be- come too frequent it is likely to upset the single standardists, compelling them to "chop out their system and howl for the characterization Of gold. I9IIt NGt h1 tn T n with the very simple fact, and one that is in touch with ourself, viz: One hundred pounds of such lovely ere would chase the wolf from any dCor.-Pick and Drill.
