Thursday, from six tons of copper ore,
.bpped to FL Paso from the Mineral
uill district, lS miles northeast of
Florence. The six tons brought him

ment charges, or a little over 37s per
ton net Arizona Blade.
Mr. Joseph Phoeby, of the Silver
King, shipped three tons of ore. this
week, which was worth seven or eight
hundred dollars per ton. He has
about sixteen men at work on the
King, some of them working on tribute
aud some for wages. The ore he is
now taking out runs high in copper
as we'll as silver-Florence Blade.
The company engaged in developing
the Geiseman copper group in the
Catalinas east of Oracle, encountered
fine body of ore, this week, at a
depth of 90 feet. A cross-cut, says our
pioNtS thC ooul VI oit W
be about forty feet wide and some of it
very high-grade. The latter will make
the average of the entire body high.
1t looks as il the Old Hat district, in
which this group is situated, would
yet fulfill its old time prouise.-Ari-

A special to the record from nermo-
Sillo. Mexico, says: Martin Hulen of
Aspen, Colo, L. b. Gedine of San
Francisco and James Crawford of Ben
son, A. T., prospectors, have arrived
from the new placer gold fields In Low
er California, about so miles south of
Camp Companies, bringing with them
over 20O,000s in gold dust. This sum
represents their earnings for period
Of eight months. The prospectors
state that the placer field embraces
a tract of gravel about 225,O00 acres in
extent.
The Prescott Prospect says: Har-
rington and Barr, who have the old
Grey Eagle and the Tiger mines in
the Brad shaws under lease and bond,
have made strike in both properties.
In the Tiger they have encountered a
large body of ore which samples 35s
per ton gold, and in the Grey Eagle
a winze sunk from the lowest level has
disclosed body Of ore three feet in
width sampling 9)S to the ton in gold.
These properties were once great pro.
ducers and under the present man
agement show promise of taking their
former rank in Yavapai's gold pro-
ducers.
La Margarita mine, the property of
Mr.. Brant, Is to receive considerable
development. The object Of the work
is to open up fresh ground, and par
ticularly to open up body of rich ore
that exists at the fourth and what will
be fifth levels. The vertical shaft will
be continued for another one hundred
feet. and then the ground will be
opened from that point to the fifth
level, joining the incline shaft. 1t is
here that the rich ore body exists. The
ore blocked out each in level is of
great value. Experienced foremen have
been put on and the systematic work
ing of the mine will be at once con-
tlnued. The value of this property,
taken only from the ore actually
blocked out and in sight, is already
very great, and will of course be ma
terially increased as the work con-
tinues.-Bisbee Review.
The latest consignment of ore from
the Star Consolidated, at Tintic, in
which SO much interest has been man
Tested, was yesterday sold on a mar
ket that netted .he company 60.l4s, the
auriferous contents alone reaching as
high as 66.60s in addition to 16 ounces
silver per ton. OF the same class of
ore two more cars are now at the sam
pier, and should be on the market to-
morrow. While samples brought in
by some from the new gold strike had
afforded much higher returns, the gen
eral average on which yesterdays sale
was made was most satisfactory one,
and shipments will be sent in as rap
idly as the ore body will permit. Dur
ing the afternoon report came from
Mammoth that the ore had been en-
countered on the 300.foot level and
that the same quality of ore was ex-
posed. Responding to it Milan Pack
