NOTICE OF FORFEITURE.

MORALES. Arizona. Jannary l6. 1900.
 Angelo Ginini, and Abraham Martinetti or their heirs or assigns:
 You are hereby notified that I have ex- pended during the year 1899 one hundred dollars in labor and improvements upon the syclone mine situate in Red Rock Mining District, Santa Cruz County, Arizona Terri tory, the location whereof is found of record in Book - of Mines at page in the office of the county recorder of said county. in order to hold said claim under the provisions of section 2524 of the Revised Statutes of the United States and the amendments thereto, approved January p, 1880. concerning annual labor upon mining claims, it being the amount required to hold said lode for the period ending on the 3lst day of December 1899.
 And If, within ninety days from the per sonal service of this notice or within ninety days after the publication hereof, you fail or refuse to contribute your proportion of such expenditure as co-owners, your interest in the claim will become the property of the subscriber, your co-owner who has made the required expenditure by the terms of said Section 2s24.

Mohave Miner: Los Angeles papers hapers have considerable to say about the oil indications in Chemehuevis valley and the undercurrent of excite ment in this county is growing daily. A big gusher on the river would be a wonderful stimulous to mining and kindred industries in this section aud we earnestly hope that the most san- suine expectations may be realized
 Prospect: Goood reports comefrom the Invincible mine. In the last few days large body of ore has been en- countered in the north tunnel, the vein being three feet wide. In drift on the l00.foot level below the tunnel the same vein of ore has been met. The ore runs high in gold values. The Invincible is one of the Henrietta group and 1t seems that it alone, with out the other equally as good claims of these groups, is destined to make the lessees some money.
