 The Journal-Miner reports impor- tant ore discoveries in the Ontario mine. The crosscut tunnel is in now for a distance of POO feet, at which point it is 125 feet below the surface. In going this distance they have en- countered two lodges containing good ore bodies. One is twenty-two feet wide and they are working now in the other, having already cut it for over thirty feet without cutting through 1t. The ore is good grade of copper and also contains good percentage oi gold and silver, being very similar tC the ores generally found in the zone or belt on which the United Verde mine is located, these mines being on the same zone. They are located about eight miles from the United Verde mine.

The present capacity of the smelters is 300 tons of ore per day and this will shortly be increased tC 900 tons by the addition os more ma chinery, the order for which has al ready been placed. There is no reason why prospectol should not know his property, anC understand his ores as thoroughly as does practical operating miner Few prospectors who have more ol less developed mining claim for sale can give an intending purchaser any information as to the value or char acter of his ores, and where this can not be done prospector is certainly not equipped to fix a price on his holdings. Of course an intending pur chaser will examine property anC makes tests to satisfy himself, and t verify the report which the owner may give, but the preliminary knowl edge is valuable to the probable pur chaser, and invaluable to the pros pector, who should certainly know hi, ores and know something of his value: and the methods necessary for the re covery of the same.-Mlneral Wealtf of Northern California.
