 Monday, and reports four companies operating up there, says the Range The Peabody produces about 100 tops daily. The Black Prince Copper com pany is working in four different places in their property. They employ a good force of men. In all four places they are in ore, three of which are good shipping ore. In sinking one shaft at the depth of sixty feet fine body of ore extending clear across the shaft was encountered. Further sinking has not cut the vein yet. This com. pany has a bonanza, and the ore al ready taken out almost pays for devel- oping work.

 The rage for big things in mines is probably responsible for the much mis- used and hard worked expression group of mines" As commonly said, it seldom means what the words say. ! What the users of the phrase really mean would be more exactly said by the phrase group of mining claims" and would be more simply said by the use of the single word mine" Sin gle mining claims or single mines seem to be considered too small to be men, toned in this age of big things Nev- i ertheless the mine may be, and really most often is, single claim and if in several claims in comInon ownership, is yet one mine. The custom is through adding the other claims, to obtain big extent of surface, that to uncritical ! thinking wlli seem the same as if more and bigger mines. Aside from the sen timent that appeals most successfully from the interests of promoters of pros. pects, who would sell half a mine as if it really were half dozen mines, there appears no reason for the misuse of the words Mining and Scientific Press.
 William J. Roe, prospector and miner, has been showing few speci- mems of ore around town, that were a puzzle to all experts and ore sharpe. The ore is very heavy, showing that 1t contains a large percentage of some dense metal, but assays failed to show either gold, silver, copper or lead. At last Mir. Roe had it analysed and he was given a result of 75 per cent of tin. NIT. Roe refuses to say where he found It, but as he has been prospecting in the porphyry range east of the Colo rado river, it is believed!that he found the float there. A number of horses. burros and mules are saddled and packed, standing in the stalls waiting for Mir Roe to make start out of town. And it Is safe to say that the anarchists of New York are not shad :. owed more closely than is poor inno- 1 cent Billy Roe. When he starts out, his trail will be hot with prospectors, following him to the new tin fad. - kingman correspondence Phoenix Re. | publican.
 ! A representative of the Star was shown a lot of copper ore just brought | in from the mines of the Boston Ari zona Gold Mines company, located in the Amole district fifteen miles west of Tucson. These mines were bonded some months ago by Col Howard c. Chapin, ,,of Denver, who has been de- veloping them continuously ever since. The same were sold to the Bos- ton Arizona Gold Mines company, which IS now doing the development work. There are series of large veins In with millsite. A number of open lngs have been made on the property with view of determining the sur face showing, which has been proven to be extensive. The croppiDes of copper and iron are very large, some of them mammoth. The grade of ore is much above the average. Col. Cha pin is in charge of the development, and the showing is very pleasing to him. The ore brought in from the mine yesterday was taken from the sixty-foot shaft, the bottom of which is all in ore and cross-cut likewise of over twenty feet. The ore will aver age from nine to eleven per cent. cop per and carries both gold and silver. The samples indicate the vein to be strong.
