Before the Biological Society OF

his studies of the African termites, or
white ants. Certain individuals in eY-
cry nest have no other apparent iunc-
ton except that of fighters OF so.diers.
Some have long beail from which
they eject an acrid corrosive fluid;
others inspire terror by making a loud
clicking noise with their nandiblcs,

T. and is duly recorded in Book H of Mines in the the recorders office of Yuma County A. T. and you further notified that if, at the expiration of ninety days from the last publication of this notice, you fail or refuse to pay your proportion of said expenditure, together with the costs of publication of this notice your interest in said mining claim will be forfeitured and become the property of the undersigned in accordance with law.

river as much as 100 feet, and to this height water must be brought, as the bottoms are dur Ing certain months completely overfowed by the waters of the swollen streams. The soil is extraordinarily rich and particularly adapted to the cultivation of sugar rice, and all the tex tile plants in addition to an extended list of tropical semitropical, and temperate products According to careful chemical analysis, the fertilizing mud carried by the Colorado closely resembles that of the waters of the Nile, while it's volume at low water has been estimated by competent authority as sufficient to easily irri gate more than 1,75O,000 acres"
 The lands of the lower Colorado River Valley have not been developed very extensively, owing to the litigation over what is known as the AlgodoneS land grant, which has been in the courts for the last decade The veXed question has lately been settled by the U. s. Supreme Court in favor of the government.

tinuouS body stretching to distance of two or three miles, and showing a thickness at right angles to the stratifcation of no less than GOOD or 5000 or perhaps 10,OO0 feet, and there is no evidence whatever of plication. The stratifca- tion is flat and as regular as the leaves of book. Usually we detect more or less plication or folding in such a section, but there is no evi dence of any folding whatever in this series. There is, however, a great difference in the composition of the layers of these rocky ridges, now all turned black upon the surface-a condi- tion of ccloring which seems to attend all the rock outcropS along the lower Colorado, and the origin of which, though discussed by Humboldt after noting similar blackening of the rocks along the Orinoco, has not yet been satisfactory explained. This general blackening of the sur face hides the changes of composition, which may be noted by careful and close inspection.
 In some places hornblendic states are more developed than the mica slate, and at others the micaceouS Schistose characters predominate and are accompanied by layers of Quartzite in- terleaved and three or four feet in thickness, sometimes three or four inches, and some foliated quartz having little films of mica in it. These quartz beds are members of the series, but have been located as lodges and, it is claimed, are gold bearing. The quartz has little or no resemblance to vein quartz, and yet at several points in the outcrop there are stains of green color, apparently from the decompoSi- tion of ore like that which has given green stains to the croppings of the Fortuna.
 Several dike-like seams or veins of white all bite or soda feldspar cut directly across the bedding of the mica slate series These feldspa- thic dikes do not appear to have any relation to the ore bearing vein or lode of the Fortuna. These dikes are extremely irregular and appear to have filled cross fractures or breaks of the regular strata.
 Coarse granite was noted at the northern point of the Gila range, along the railroad, but no evidences were found of the existence of stratif1ed Paleozoic- or secondary rocks. The mica states series referred to is the Huronian or ArchRan.

of Yuma county, and description of two of the richest gold mines; also something of the Castle Dome lead mines:
 KING OF ARIZONA.
 The gold bearing property, known for time as the Gleason. has been transferred to the King of Arizona Miling and Milling Company, a cor pcraticn organized under the laws of the Terri tory of Arizona, with capitalization of 5,000000 shares of par value of Sl each. This company owns four full claimS-the Homestal1e, the King of Arizona, the Last Hope, and the Mucho Bueno This district lies about thirty five miles due east of thd Castle Dome Land ing, on the Colorado River. It is north of the Gila River and about 40 miles from Mohawk Summit on the Southern Pacific Railroad. This is the nearest station on the railway. There are several other locations besides those conveyed to the King of Arizona.
 The Homestake location covers the chief workings up to this date. There is on this claim strong vein of gold-bearing quartz This lode or vein has three well-naTked divisions or layers. On the hanging wall there is soft layer from to 3I inches wide, which averages about 2,SOO per ton in value. Next below this there is middle layer or body of quartz about 20 inches thick, which will average about S90 to slOO per ton in value. The remainder of the vein, so far as it is exposed by the shaft, aver ages about S24 per Jon IeSG holes have been drilled feet deep into the foot wall, and all in ore. The shaft by which the exposure of the nature of the vein has been made is 200 feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall distance of 40 feet eaSterly and 30 feet westerly. These show a continuity of vein, having the same characters and values develop ed by the shaft. The hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft so that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts is greater than at the shaft. At point about 30 feet west of the shaft and on a level with the collar of the shaft the vein has been crosscut from wall to wall, showing it IS feet wide at that point. The ore in the crosscut is of about the same grade as that in the shaft. The croppings of the vein may be followed for some 700 feet of the Home stake shaft to a second opening, known as ''The King Of Arizona Shaft This shaft is about 50 feet deep, and by means of drill holes the vein is shown to be II feet in width and has an aver age value of BIO per ton. At point 300 feet east of the HomeStake shaft tunnel has been made which crosScutS the vein 160 feet below the sur face. At this point the hanging wall vein is IS inches wide and has an average value of $50 per ton. The tunnel then passes through 30 feet of vein matter running about 8 per ton, thence through feet of ore carrying S2S per ton to the foot wall The total distance from hanging wall to foot wall along this tunnel is 40 feet. drift has been run along the foot wall to the Home S5al1e shaft at a distance of 300 feet, and the average value of the ore exposed is $14 per ton.
