ing of other mining transactions in
that neighborhood he said there was
no doubt but that section would make
itself heard from and spring to the

He said there was one thing that was
creating considerable interest there
now and that was the discovery of gold
and silver in the porphyry rock. This
rock has always been supposed to be
barren of any mineral, but short time
ago an old prospector in examining
some of this rock that had been thrown
away as worthless, discovered traces
of gold and upon an assay being made
it was found to contain something like
: Ss in gold. This caused quite a sensa-
tion and other miners began to exam.
Inc their porphyry rock, with the re-
suit that much of it was found to carry
AS high as l2S in gold, while some ran
down as low AZ Is and .. Silver was
also found in this rock. This peculiar
discovery has given quite an impetus
tn mining in that section aud looks as
if it would add very materially to the
already good output from there

Another mining company we learn
is about to commence operations in
our locality in the development of
some properties located in the Loue
Star district near Cottonwood aud
Walnut Springs aud IN the Dewey dis
trict near Stark's ranch. These prop
critics are owned by j. II. Sparks, j. +.
Carpenter, Abe Campbell, w. ID.
French and II. j. Dowdle. A company
has been formed, backed by some we'll
k1own New York capitalists, which
will Incorporate under the name of the
Consolidated Arizona q New York
Aiming Company, capitalized for 800 :
COOS. Sufficient funds are In sight to
warrant the immediate commencement
of work. 1t has been our privilege, for
some time, to know that in the posses
sion of the property mentioned these
men had what, with development, will
prove to be great property. The
Lone Star district property is on some
good leads, rich in copper. The Dewey
district will, We believe, prove 10 be
one of the wonders of Arizona. Every
thing there is Cd big scale and the
ores assay well in gold, copper, silver
and lead, two assays recently made
from the Silver Bell claim being 20
ounces silver, 2.l0 ounces gold, and 334
ounces silver. We congratulate these
gentlemen on their success in inter-
esting capital aud predict that the
New Workers will be we'll pleased with
their venture. We have a great min.
eral country about us and invite capi-
tai to turn its attention this way
