tendent of the Lowell and Arizona, is
Fastening the erection of the machin-
cry at this property. Among the i'm
provements is a fine hoist, probably as
fine As any in the country, and will
only be equaled by the splendid hoist
Of the Spray shaft of the Copper Queen.
The best timbers are being used for
the shaft house. 1t is the intention of
the com pany to erect 800 or 400-ton
smelter at once. The boilers are now
in place at the hoist. The sinking of
the shaft on this mine has already
proved the wealth of the mine, as the
ore taken out has paid for the work
done SO far. This shaft will be sunk
to depth of 1000 feet. The company
will erect works at this fine property
at cost of at least 750O00S before
they are working at full blast, and the
fact proves amply their knowledge of
the wealth contained in the Lowell
find Arizona, and the confidence in its
future rs great producer.-Bisbee

Two errors often prevent the devel-
opment of good prospects. says the
Western Mining World. First, too
high an estimate placed upon the pros
pect; second, the unreasonable over
loading of it by the broker or promot-
er. Surface indications are guides
only. No man can place money es-
innate on uncovered ground, so that
the purchaser of a mere prospect buys
privilege to make mine, and the
promoter should realize that it is not
a business proposition to try and make
fortune from the manipulation of a
prospect, the owner of which is willing
to sell for l,0Dls; let him be content
with reasonable profit, adequate com
pensation for his talents and labor,
and his deals will be made easier and
their frequency will aggregate greater
profits than by wearing away years on
single transaction.
Judge w. II. Barnes has purchased
the well known Henrietta mine in the
Big Bug district of Yavapai county.
The mine was owned principally by
Joe Maher and the price paid by
Judge Barnes for the mine was l8,000s.
OF the sale the Phenix Gazette says:
The Henrietta mine mas been the sub
ject of much litigation for number of
years past, trotting up and down the
legal track until, weighed and other.
wise handicapped, it finally came in
under the wire, and was placed in the
hands of its legal trainers and riders.
Some time since there was a sale made
and about 6O00s was paid in of the
purchase price. This was on the first
of April. On the first of July an ad-
ditional l4,000S was to be paid in by
the eastern purchasers, of whom U. s.
Senator Addicks of New Jersey was
one. Judge Barnes was in Prescott on
the 25th of June, aud not having infor-
nation as to any intentions the east
ern parties might have had as to the
second payment, and in order to save
his own interests in the property, he
reached into one of his hip pockets,
where he always carried his small
change, fished out l4,000s and made
payment on his own account. lmme-
diately afterwards he was offered 28,
OOOs for transfer of the rights ac-
cruing to him through the payment
he had Just made. The Hon. VIM. III.
knows good thing little bit quicker
than most persons, aud he simply
winked at the double offer, filed the
deeds above noted and turned to his
delightful home in the city of Tucson.
j. w. Dean has purchased the Dewey
group of 25 claims in the highly min.
eralized Yaeger canyon, and will put a
force of men to work on the property
Immediately. Work is being done at
present on the road to the mines, in
order to get supplies to the spot. The
