 | The Pennsylvania X Arizona com pany is shipping two carloads of high grade ore this week. They also ship weekly about twenty-five tons of con centrates, worth over 500 per ton. | This company is experimenting with different processes of concentration and when they find the one most suit able to their ores they will erect a large plant at their mine. Of the tests so far made the Hooper pneumatic con- centrator is far ahead of the wet pro- cesses The makers of this machine claim saving capacity of over ninety five per cent. on any ores except oxides and chlorides s-Kingman Mineral Wealth.
 In the Bland mine. in the Salero dis trict, eight miles west of Patagonia, in the foothills of the Santa Ritas. Messrs. Wm. T. Powers, George c. Clark and w. C. Heck have been running tun- mel to cut the ledge at a point 167 feet below the croppings. They have re- gently cut the ledge and found fine body of copper glance, running eigh- teen per cent copper, twenty-eight ounces in silver and eight dollars in gold per ton. They are drifting both ways upon the ledge, in good ore, and running to reach the other wall of the vein, upon which they expect to find another ore bed.-Star.
 The most important rich silver dis covery near Chloride, Mohave county, Arizona, in recent years is one just made by Fred Mitchell on his claim about one mile southeast Of town. The shaft in which this remarkably rich body of horn and chlorides of silver was found, is down about thirty-five feet, and the ore body is more than fourteen inches wide. No assays of the ores have been made, as it is so rich that it is useless to put it to the test. All the open ground adjacen: to the new strike has been hurriedly located. and work begun on the new claims, which has resulted in great activity in the new camp.-Beit.
 Wm. Cowan, the Sulphur Springs cattleman, and at present proprietor of d restaurant at Gleeson, came over to Tombstone on Wednesday, says the Prospector. He reports the camp moving rapidly to the front. The new shelter for the Gleeson property will "blow in' in short time. A supply of coke is on the ground and the nec- essary Aux is in the bins. The furnace has capacity of sixty tons. The com pany has over 100 men on the pay roll, and as sooG as the shelter is in good siderably increased. The Ryan broth CTS have about fifty men at work on their property and have opened up during the past week good body of carbonate ore.
 A syndicate is being formed for the reopening of the famous md ancient north of the Arizona and Mexico boun- dary line. It is believed that the mine was one of the first operated by the Spanis.rds. early in the sixteenth cen- tury, and it is known beyond a doubt that during many years, and perhaps centuries. it produced many tons of sil- yer and lead bullion. The Tombstone Prospector says that the primitive smelters used by the Spaniards are still standing and as nearly as can be ascer- tained, they have not been used since the beginning of the last century. The mine is said to have been owned at one time by the church and to have pro- duced many millions. which went into the Catholic treasuries in Spain.-Tuc son Citizen.
 There is great activity at the shelter and mines of the United Verde. There are more men employed under ground at the mine than ever before in its history. The shelter is now turning out more bullion per day than for months. While driving drift from which to raise :he new working shaft, it is reported that immense new ore bodies have been encountered, which
