MINING NOTES.

The Sabine oil and Development company this morning shipped an oil drill and derrick to its property at the foot of the Catalina mountains near the entrance to Sabino canyon, says the Citizen. They have 1140 acres of oil land taken up. An expert from Los Angeles is in charge of the drilling and ! assisted by six men he will put down a 5c0-foot hole. The country around shows strong evidences of oil and the formations indicate that he chances for | success are good. J. w. Ford, Sr is president of the company. and Justice l.. $. Wilson is secretary. Judge Will son yesterday visited the property and ! located some additional oil land in his | own name.
 ! Although in a sense gold may be sa i'd to be imDerishahie and from it's valu and utility is very carefully preserved. yet the annual loss of gold by use in the arts ard in wear and tear is simply enormous. The gold coins in circula | tion are constantly losing in weight | Immense quantities of the precious metal ar= used for watch cases and | jeweiry, as well as in gliding and or | namenting thousands of articles Of taste and luxury. The gold leaf used ! in many arts. the chloride of gold a. applied to photography, are uses of the metal that msan irrevovable loss, while : in dentistry. which is a most effectual method of it's burial. thousa nds of oun- ces per year are consumed. Large sums are lost by shipwrecks. in con- veying coin or bullion from place to place. while the hoariinG common to many people. especially in India and the countries where life and perty are continually in jeopardy, means the disappearance of vast sums yearly. Hence the difficulty. or more property ] speaking the impossibility of knowing the actual amount of value of gold ex- istirs in the world. either coined. man : ufactured or in the form of bullion Mining and Engineering Review !

 There is evidence of oil being devsI- oped within a few miles of Tucson. | says the Star. and that in a very sho~c tune. Work has already begun, ma- chinery for boring will be on the ] ground in a few days. Do not be sur prised if you hear of q spouter within twenty miles of Tucson within the next thirty or sixty days.
 Col. Greene. the copper prince of Arizona, has caused another sensation. says the Star. He has purchased an | automobile for the sum of s15.0 which | he will bring to Arizona for his person. al use. It will travel thirty-five miles an hour Greene is bound to lead no matter what it costs. A machine that costs that much money ought to travel at least 100 miles an hour

This is an error. The vein is five feet across and carries principally gold. ans averages $50 per ton An extra force of men will be put on and further development work pushed with all possible spzed.
