The following interesting Arizona items are from the correspondent of the Los Angeles Mining Review:
 The Amalgamated Copper company, near Albert or, as it is usually spoken of down here, the Standard Oil com pany, has let contract to the Nelson brothers to sink another hundred feet, also contract to drift 1000 feet on the ore, 800 feet each way.
 The St. Louis Gold Recovery com pany have treated the old tailings of the Mammoth mill, the work of about three years on about 100000 tons Taillings of the mill issue subsequent to the contract Of the Gold Recovery Co.,, May, 1898, have been treated by the Mammoth Cyaniding Company, a corporation orgaRized here by Zeck- endorf and Elaisdell. That company has enough tailings to handle to give returns for about ten months, 33 1-3 per cent of net results royalty to the NJ. G. NJ. X NJ. Co.
 There is some delay in the settle meut of the St. Louis Copper company, which has been developing and ship ping concentrates to Fl Paso for over two years past. Tho5. Childs and Washington Jacobs, Of Gila Bend and Tucson, respectively, were the bene- ficiaries in the transfer of this proper ty; price, S100, 900, payable S100 month ly and 33 l-3 per cent. from net pro- ceeds of concentrates on account of principal. The affairs of the company, under the deal, were conducted by A. J. Shotwell, who has for some time been identified with an Arkansas com pany in other copper properties in the district.
 w. H. Lake, who represents New York capital, closed a deal with Louis Ezekials, E. N. Fish, J. J. Walsh, F. H. Lee, R. J. Adams Of Tucson, and c. o. Crane of Vails, for the Cuprite, Black Horse, and several other copper claims in the Santa Rita Mountains, seven miles south of Vails, Pima county, and twenty-seven miles from Tucson.

to haul the product O. the Tennessee
 mine to kingman for the year begin ming June first. All supplies for the
 mine will be hauled by wagon from
 kingman and the teams will load back
 with ore It is also said that the mer- chants of the town will also enter into the new arrangement. For long time the mine owners Of the Chloride camp have been appealing to the railroad company for scaling down of the tar if schedule on low grade ores, but without result. Now as d protective measure they are to try wagon haulage again and in this way bring the rail- road people around to their way of thinking. The lead ores of the Chlor- ide camp will not bear the heavy tariff imposed and the railroad people ought to consider a reasonable proposition from the ore producers of the district. -Kingman Miner.
 One of the best bodies of gold ore judging from the present outlook ever made in the Bradshaw mountains was made about three weeks ago in the Lincoln mine. This property is situated about 40 miles south Of Pres colt, in the vicinity Of the Crowned King and Gladiator. The strike re- ferred to was made in a tunnel run in- to the mountain on the Quien Sabe claim, one Of the best in the group. At 10 feet a body of gold quartz was struck, four feet in width and as fine looking gold ore as person would like to see. Free gold can be seen shining in many pieces of rock as they are taken from the tunnel. Some Of the miners work ing for the company have worked in all the big mines in the Bradshaws and say the strike is the best one they have ever seen in that well known dis trict. Any of the ore from the four foot ledge horns so well that the par ties interested are certain that they have one Of the biggest and best bodies of gold ore in that district The pro- perty was considered very rich mine before the last strike was made, and now the group could not be purchased from the company for $25O,OO0. A car load of machinery is now at Mayer, awaiting shipment by teams to the Miner.
