It was hitherto about $2,3OO. None of the appropriation. however. is paid :n cash, but comes in the way of equip ment. The territorial appropria tion used to amount to about $3,750
 THE SAND STORM.-It was a beau tiful sand storm yesterday afternoon. looked at from the outside. From within nothing worth looking at could be seen. It was accompanied by a strong wind, which tore down signs. wrenched trees off and bl5w windows out. One window in the wareroom of the Wakelin Grocery company was curiously blown out from the inside. At the weather bureau office it was learned that the maximum velocity of the wind was forty miles an hour. The storm seemed to extend the whole length of the valley, at least from Mesa City and as far west as heard from. It was generally predicted that a good rain would follow last night, but not a drop came. On the contrary, there was a remarkable lack of humid ity considering otter rain signs. But the clouds which were noted when the atmosphere was sufficiently cleared of dust, indicated that there was rain some distance east and north.

mineral belt, one and a half miles north. is the property of the North American Development company, inn mediately joining on the west, that of the Saginaw Gold and Copper com pany. A French syndicate owns the property joining on the south and some distance east is a group owned by Fisher & Go.
 MT. Dougherty when asked about the property yesterday, said the lodes on which these big mines are located seem to center in the Octopus group. In fact. that is what gave the group it's name and not a sentiment on the part of the discoverers either for or against trusts or their prototype that lives in the sea. But from the central claims large ore bodies extend like ten tacles in different directions.
 The discovery of these properties was made three years ago by MT. Daugherty and George w. Morgan, the title later passing into the hands of the former. There are in all ter loca tions on which there are open cuts, shafts and tunnels. One tunnel in 130 feet, taps the mountain at a depth of 800 feet. All the local tions show croppings of lodges from four to twenty feet across them. The two main dykes cross each other at right angles in the Octopus mountain and the ore bodies of the surrounding claims converge in these dykes.
 The ore shows carbonates and high grade sulphurets carrying gold in pay ing quantities. In fact, the properties f0r l,,t rI, eventually becamt too base for free milling and the copper deposit increased in value as work pro- gressed till it eventually became the leading metal. There is now a consid- erable amount of ore on the dunn awaiting the day when d reduction plant shall be install5d. The Octopus property is easy of access and at nc great distance from a good road.
 The company represented by MT. Walsworth, it is understood, will con- tinue development work as rapidly as practical, build a good road out to the main travelled road and make other improvements immediately necessary in fully opening up the property.
 The Black Rock district is rapidly placing itself in evidence as one of the richest copper regions in the territory and all who are interested there are not only hopeful, but confident. The indications are favorable for unlimited quantities of the red metal and it is the general opinion among operators that the deposits are not merely sur face veins, but that the ore bodies go down.
 The country is traversed by phono- lite dykes cutting each other at vari- ous angles. Aside from the many good properties now being worked in the vicinity there are numberless pros poets that have every indication ot showing big values with development MT. Dougherty is satisfied that the Oc- topus will prove a veritable treasure vault and believes the ne wcompany will never have cause to regret their speculation. He has firm confidence ir the district and expects to see for tunes dug out of mother earth in thai neighborhood in the near future.
