MOHAVE MINES
Sale of the Billy Bryan Group for
 Fifty Thousand Dollars.

The Mohave County Miner says: Re- gently a cave in the 11O-foot level of the Merrimac mine at Chloride. eX- posed a large body of exceedingly rich ore. At the 25O-foOt level a bulk head has been removed and the ore was found to extend to that level. This gives the Merrimac company nearly 200 feet of stoping ground and ar engagements are now b5ing made to again start the mill in operation.
 A few days ago. says the Mohave County Miner. Henry Lovin and Jose Jeris sold their Billy Bryan group of mines in the San Francisco mining dis trict to Los Angeles parties for s5O.OO0, a large part of the purchase price be- ing paid, the balance to be paid within 2 short time. The mines are wonder fully rich, two of the claims having produced $2.0O0 in sinking the ten feet required for location work. This ore was sold to the samplers. A great deal of ore valued at $25 per ton was left on the dump. In the bottom of the Billy Bryan there is five feet of ore that will pay to ship to the sampler. while a big streak of the ore will run over $400 per ton. Besides purchasing these mines the parties have purchased all the mines owned by the estate of Dan O'Leary and George Miller. The mines are all good producers, having large bodies of milling ores in sight. It is the intention of the purchasers to install an electric plant on the river, ten miles distant. from which power will be transmitted to the mines for the operation of mills and hoists. Near the mines is fine stream of water suf- ficient for all mining purposes.
 The sale or probable sale of the Eaton and Patterson gold mines at Gold Basin is creating quite a stir in mining circles, says the Kingman Min eral Wealth. The grade of these ores and the great quantity have been known for years and the only draw back has been the water and the pro- cess by which the gold could be eX- tracted economically. After repeated tests the cyanide process was found to save everything in the ore at small expense. As the cyanide process re- duires very little water this veXed question has also been solved as Scan lans springs will furnish plenty of water. The purchaser. MT. Rocker, will bore a deep well in Red Lake. where an abundance of water is sup posed to exist. A white water strata is found on two sides of Gold Basin where water can be developed for all purposes. It is estimated that there is 100000 tons of ore in sight in these mines that can be mined at a trifling cost, as a large amount of it is on top of the ground. The lodges are of great size and dipping into the forma- ton at an angle of 45 degrees.

DIsFRANCHIsEMENT IN N. c.
Democrats Accuse Their Opponents of
 Unfair Tactics.

Raleigh. N. C., July 3O.- Extraordi- nary efforts are making by the demo- cratic leaders of this state to thwart what they allege to be a conspiracy to prevent a fair election on August ?, when the proposed constitutional depriving illiterate elect ors of the franchise. will be submit ted to the popular vote. It is charged the fusionists-republica and popu- lists-are resorting to desperate tactics to prevent the ratification of the amendment. which will have the effect of disfranchising the bulk of the negro voters.
 F. NJ. Simmons. the democratic state chairman, has written to both Presi- dent Mckinley and the national civil service commission. denouncing the ac tivity of federal office holders, whom he accuses of interruptions work. The democratic members of the legislature have again refused to adjourn that body, declaring that it's continued ex~ istence is necessary to safeguard the peoples rights against judicial usurpa- ton.
 Senator Marion Butler, the populist national and state chairman, has made himself perhaps the best hated man in the state by reason of his alleged ac- tivity in behalf of and in connection with the negroes. But for his avoiding passing through Wilmington today it is likely that he would have been at> tackled by a mob which was ready to deal with him.

 In New York state the hop crop is seriously affected. and the yield will be less than it has been for many years: the farmers also report a great short age in the hay crop. and scarcity f food for cattle through the coming winter is anticipated.
 In the middle and southern New En- gland the continued lack of rain is threatening the later crops, and in Massachusetts the early corn crop is a failure.
