Capital is turning toward Arizona fields seeking investment and the outlook very bright for the new year before us.
 Arizona Blade: Messrs. McCarty and Croker have located and are prus- pecting a new gold claim in the River side district, Pnal county. which makes a ire surface showing. Sam ples taken along the outcrop for dis tance of nine hundred feet are said to bave given an average of Sl4 OO gold per ton. The ore Is free milling and a spring on the claim, will, 1t Is be- lieved, afford an ample supply Of water for milling purposes.
 Prcspector: J. H. Leger returned to Phoenix from COchise county. where he has discovered rich de- posit of what he believes will prove to be a superior quality of marble. He told reporter that it was every shade of coloring, from white to black, and if it is as good in quality as it is in appearance it will ultimately be in great demand. There seem, to be an immense quantity of it ano 1t Is no great distsnce from the railroad
 Graham Guardian: A good body of ore has been opened up in the Harris burg claim in the Black Rock district. A fine body of rich copper ore has been struck in the above group at about 100 feet and seems to be very large. The ore which is on exhibition at the Guardian office is of high grade. This group is owned by Jack O'Neal, Wiley Jones and w. H Woon Ac- tive work i- goingon aud the owners will soon make some shipments cf ore.
 Arizona Arrow: An Arrow reporter overheard stranger the other day say that the country around king- man was fine formation for coal, but whether he knew what he was talking about we do not venture to say He said the formation is of sandstone and the finest in the world for vast coal beds to be found in IT this is a fact and some oue should strike coal how things would boom in mining way. Stranger things have happened. Why don't somebody prospect for coal?
 Graham Guardian: It is reported that rich body of ore has been en- countered in the Lone Star group of mines in the Lone Star district. This group lies on the southside of the Gila mountains, about uioe miles north northeast of Safford. 1t has been the writers judgement from surface iudi- cations that immense bodies Of high grade ore will be shown up in this group when sufficient depth has beeu attained to reach the Undisturbed mineral bodies. Boston people have control of this property with Mir Knowles in charge.
