ledges and veins in that part of th
 country. It ranges in width frol
 Poo to foo feet between clearly d.
 fined walls. Ore taken from slmos
 anywhere across the face will hor
 gold. The discovery was made b
 Frank Czarnowski about two month
 ago, but was not announced by hir
 until 8 couple of days ago, and va
 then done in such way as to attrac
 wide attention. He has located 75o
 feet along the lode. No work beyon'
 a few prospect holes has been done
 but wherever they have been sunl
 gold has been found. MT. Czarnow
 ski owned several mining claim
 southeast of the present discover,
 and not long ago bonded them to th'
 Octave company.
 The Western Mining World doe:
 not hesitate to place mining as th'
 chief industry of the west, and em
 phasizes its position by frequent re
 iteration of the fact in one way O
 another. All other industries are re
 ferred to as incidental to the develop
 meni of the untold mineral wealth o1
 the west, though of course, their i'm
 portance is not minimized. In it,
 latest issue that journal says: Those
 who have studied the resources and
 possibilities of the west realize fully
 that agriculture, as it will be worked
 out on the irrigated lands is but an
 incident of the gigantic production oi
 which the west is capable, and the
 possibilities of which are today SO
 little known. The mineral resources of the arid region are so vast, inclnd- ing the great production of oil, which is now beginning to be developed, that agriculture will be moro a stimu- Jus to mining development than anything else. In the arid west where living and transportation ss 8 rule are expensive, only the comparatively high grade ores can be profitably worked. The tremendous mining re- sources of the country can never be fully developed without cheap food and cheap transportation, and these the west can never have until it has irrigation. Nothing could possibly benefit the east moro than the de- velopment of the wealth of the west ern mines.
 The White Picacho district above Hot Springs Junction is taking on new life just now, and particularly by reason of the late development work on the Hercules Mining com pany's property, of which H. E. Armitage is superintendent. This is explored to a depth of two hundred and fifty feet and pre- sents immense ore bodies. Mining men who have examined it say that with development the property will some day get into the same class with Ehe United Verde and Bisbee mines. The great drawback which the Her cules company experienced since it began work aeout a year ago was of water. But only last week, while running a crosscut on the two hundred and fifty foot level, vein of water was struck that will make pumping on the lower levels necessity hereafter. This sort of an inconvenience, however, is greeted with satisfaction by the company, as Ihe water is sweet and pure and just what is wanted for all purposes .round a big mine. When the new pumps are put in the Hercules will continue to grow. But there are other promising prospects in the same dis rict, and many of them. Messrs. and Eyer are developing a copper prospect but 6 short distance 1 way as rapidly as their means will How. MT. McColla was in the city | and said be wanted to sell half interest in the property to se- ure funds for further development. 1e has four claims, two of which he las named the Violet and Gopher. They are located about twelve miles rom the junction, and the ore assays n average of 11.6 per cent. The ein, which he has followed into the ill for twenty-five feet, runs from thirteen inches to four feet in width, nd he has opened it up for length f forty-fve feet across the hill.-Re- ublican.
 After summers campaign in cling stock by the Vulture lining company the report ot abroad that they did not ,tend to take up the bond of $350,- %, for the mine and would abandon he deal. The rumor was investiga- ed by the PheniI chamber of com lerce, and resulted in flat denial y the company. The management tates that the bond has already cen provided for and that work will oon be commenced on the mine.
 A company composed largely of itizens of this county, has been in- for the purpose of oper- ting the Little Jessie group of hines. The company is named the essie Mines company. The officers re as follows: President, John s. ones; vice president and temporary Harry Brlsley; treasurer, William T. Brown. The Little Jessie as yielded a large amount of ore, lid to be about three-quarters of a dillon dollars, and made one man ch through working it under lease.
 Charles R. and Porter W. Fleming ,port a most remarkable discovery gold in the Galluro. mountains, bout seventy-6ve miles north of ucson. The vein of ore, according , the Flemings, is 200 feet wide and ] 900 feet in length. A canyon cuts trough the vein for 200 feet, expos lg the ore on either side the entire 'ngth of the cut The Fleming : rothers assert that from the bottom . the canyon to the surface the out uppings of ore will run from S5 to 900 to the ton. They estimate the mount of gold in sight at the enor- lous sum of $7,0OO,0O0. The Tucson { tar is authority for the statement lat the story told by the Fleming rothers is authentic, and that it has srifed the facts as above given. If le find turns out as rich as the re- ort brought by the two prospectors ( 'ems to indicate, it will be one of the reatest gold discoveries ever made Arizona. f
