The Papago Copper company, with
headquarters in Los Angeles. is max ng
arrangements to begin development
work on a group of promising gold,
silver and copper mines in the noun
tains, forty miles south of Texas Hill.
The ledge is well-defned and is thirty
feet wide on the surface. Assays show
values ranging from 5ys to sos per ton
in the three metals. The property is
in a wild aud almost unknown district,
owing to the absence of water, but if
the ledge goes down and still contains
the values it starts with, all minor
obstacles will soon be overcome aud
another great copper mine will be added
to Yuma county's list of bonanzas.--

Yuma Sentinel: The lead mine at
Castle Dome, Ariz., is one of those val
liable properties of which little is said,
but which keeps quietly at the good
work of making some one rich. 1t is
said to be the largest lead mine in the
territory thus far developed, and for a
generation past it has been steady
producer, Castle Dome being one ofthe
! familiar names to pioneers and land
mark for prospectors in the Southwest.
A considerable force of men is employ
ed, and the ores are shipped to FL Paso.
/, 1t is said that new machinery is about
to be installed at the mine for working
over old dumps and concentrating ores
/, that are too low grade to ship with
profit in their present state.
