 Gazette: The men who are working oD the crosscut, three miles below the head of the ArIzona canal dam, re- gently cut through the cement Tn their work, and encountered bed or black sand that runs twenty-five cents to the pan in gold.
 Globe Belt: Chas. Hill is in from his mines on Rye, which he expects to bond before he leaves town. Charlie is enthusiastic over the development in the Gun creek district, and is an advocate of better roads in that sec tion. If Globe expects to control the business of Gun creek, it will be neces- sary to build a road to the mines, which will not cost to exceed S3,O0O
 Courier Judge Sessions of Cherry creek, was visitor to Prescott on Saturday. He gives very good ac- count of mining development work in that district, and with the coming or the new year states that mine owners feel stimulated over the belief that the work now going On will demon strate that that section is destined to rank among the foremost in produc- tion and stability, laying as 1t does alongside of the belt on which the United Verde Is situated. Judge Ses- sions believes as many others do that wben greater depth is reached on many of the older claims of the dis trict, Cherry creek will be no excep- tion to other prosperous localities that the past year has brought into prom thence through the channels of capital invested.
 Courier. The Belcher mine, located in Bigbug creek, which has passed un- der the control of the Cliffords, was worked in the early days of Yayapal county by Grey x Hitchcock. It was worked when bacon sold at 75 cents a pound and flour was worth S20 hun dred and an armed escort of four or five men was necessary to accom- pany the freighting outfit which hauled the provisions to the mine. The mine produced s700,0O0 in gold and work was stopped on it when the free milling ore was all taken out and sulphurets were encountered. The mine was patented by Judge A. Rush. There is large ore body in the mine, which is considered property of wonderful possibilities. The mine is on the same vein with the Eugenia, which was worked in the early days under like conditions with like results.

equipped for journalistic work by sew

at the editorial office of that paper.
He made so good an impression that
the managing editor was about to as
sign him a place on the staff when. as
IL remembering something he had over
looked in examining the applicant, he
suddenly asked:

THE MAA WHO WORKS.
And the Man Who Gets Through
Things the Easiest Way He Can


THE man at is so far advanced
that he likes the work he is doing,
said Mr.. StoggletOn, has reason 10 feel
hopeful of himself. 1 suppose that the
very great majority of US go through
the work we have in hand the easiest
way we can and get through it, skip
ping the hard places when possible and
thinking we'll be glad when its fin
ished; but the next job will be just the
same There will be just about so
many hard places in it, and then We'll
be wishing just the same that we could
get through that job.
'|The fact appears to be that we are
always trying TO shirk the present job.
We mean well in feeble sort of way.
and the next thing We tackle We are
going TO do right up to the handle, but
when we strike that, when that be-
comes the present work, don't we try
to shirk that too? We do. indeed. And
that's what we do all through life-dai
ly putting off our best endeavors till to-
morrow. Kind of a misera BILE thing to
do isn't it?
BUT occasionally you meet 4 man
who puts in his best ticks every day
and rejOices in the labor. He doesn't
care a continental what the next day
is going to bring to him-he can handle
il, whatever ii is. Just now he's en-
gagged with tOday's labor, and he does
that up thoroughly and completely and
searches out the last nook and Granny.
He isn't trying to see what he can
pass by, but what he can root out, and
he goes home satisfied with his work,
and he's the one man in a thousand
that leads all the rest, and his pay cor
responds with his rs."-New York
