Japan's new gold fields are begin.
ming to attract considerable attention.
They were only recently discovered, so
far as at present defined, aud embrace
territory of about $50 square miles.
The gold is found in the small streams
and rivers rising in the mountains, and
it is obtained in the most primitive
manner by washing the sand.
About thirty miles northwest of Al
buquerqe, where the ground breaks off
from the mesa down towards the Rio
Salado, there L., one of the most extern
sive and largest veined coal fields to be
found anywhere in central New .dexico.
1t is ascertained that eastern people
with means are examining the field

One of the largest castings ever made
10 the southwest will bs cast at Gar
diner, Worthen Il Goss' this week. 1t
will be a drum six feet in diameter and
was ordered 10y the Helvetia Copper
company. The great drum is to be
used at the camp for lowering ore from
the higher workings to the tramway.
At the foundry hole six feet deep aud
of sufficient circumference to admit
the mould for the drum has been dug.
This foundry is now the largest in the
southwest, and its mining supply busi-
ness extends to all parts of the terri
tory and the states OF Mexico.-Tucson

The Daly-West mine at Park City,
Utah, is making a magnificent showing
in the way of dividends, aud dividends
are what count in mining matters. An
extra dividend of 37,5O0s has just been
declared, making 75,00o5 for the month
of February. And what is better still
Is the fact that it is accompanied by
the assurance that the "extra" will in
no way cramp the company, that the
splendid condition of the mine fully
confidently expect their monthly pre-
miums for long time to come. Park
City seems to be rapidly getting back
into old time form, and with so many
new producers on the list, it really
ought to be better camp than it ever
was before.-Anaconda Standard.
Steve Bailey was down from his camp
Thursday aud brought with him some
fine looking ore from the new tunnel
he is driving in on the lead. The sam
pies show some high grade carbonate
of copper ore and gold and silver rock,
the latter strongly resembling in APP
pearance and composition the rich sill
yer ores of the Rogers district. Sheriff
Truman is interested with him and
they have two claims---the Ajax and
the Fairview. They are located on this
side of the Gila river about one and
one-half miles southwest of Kelvin.
The vein has bold out-crop and can
be traced along the surface a mile in
length On the surface it shows an av-
erage width of about two feet, but at
the bottom of fifty-foot shaft on the
Ajax it shows width Of four feet with
we'll defined walls. The tunnel they
are now driving In has reached length
of 60 feet. 1t will be driven 60 feet fur
ther and then connected with the fifty
foot shaft above mentioned. There are
no more promising prospects in the
camp than are the Ajax and Fairview.
