 It is reported from Nevada that J L. Giroux has sold a copper proposi tion in that state for S500,OO0, anC that the money would be paid over il San Francisco. Supt. Giroux is ou of town, and we have been unable t, interview him on the report, but it il known here that he has a valuabl, property at Ely, Nevada, that ha' been in charge of brother of tn, superintendent.-Jerome News.
 We understand that there is in con temptation the erection of a twenty stamp mill on the Colorado river, neal Scanlon's Ferry. The mill will handle ores from the Lost Basin anC Gold Basin mines. The people con templating the erection of this plant are interested in mines in that local ity. The country surrounding Scan lon Ferry is abundantly able to keeE a mill at work for years to come on high grade gold ore and we hope the projectors will carry their plans tc completion.-Mohave Miner.
 Ben Bybon visited the Baumanr Copper Co.'S property a few days since, and returned more enthusiastic if anything, than even Mr. Baumann himself over the showing of the prop erty. Mir. Rybon has been engaged in mining and in examining mines for several years, and has become quite an expert in practical way of judg- ing of the merits of properties. He has made close study not only of ores of different characters, but of the formation where good ore is found. He says that the formation where the Baumann Copper Co.'S mines are To- cated, as well as the showing made by development, is among the best that he has seen in the county and there are few properties of any promi- hence which he has not seen. He says that he considers that three of the claims alone of the group are worth more than the entire capitaii- zation of the company and that the price of the stock should at least be placed at par, instead of the price fixed by the directors of the company. A good feature of this company and one which should commend itself to investors is its low capitalization and the fine showing already made, with the development work done, which amounts to over 1,600 feet.
 F. NJ. Czarnowski, of Martinez, connected with the Leviathan con- pany which originally held claims some distance from the immence lode recently discovered by MT. Car nowski some time ago secured four of his claims in addition to their former holding, says the Republican, and has transferred to the Leviathan two more claims that are presumed to cover the best prospects that he has and gives the Leviathan the ownership of what just now appears to be the biggest thing in Arizona. MT. Czarnowski has been engaged in looking for wealth in the hills of Arizona a good part of the time for the last thirty years and he is to be congratulated on being thus reward ed for his faithfulness and enterprise, for he says there is no doubt about the quantity of ore in sight. as there is practically mountain of it stick ing up, and as far prospected it all carries good values. Heis, of course, interested with the Leviathan con- pany. The reader can get a better idea of the mineral region by short description of the the general loca- ton of the best known mines situated therein. There seems to be a vast gold belt extending in general way for about one hundred miles east and west. The Congress is the most westerly developed mine in this re- zion, though the gold belt seems to run clear to Bill Williams fork. East of Congress comes the Fools gulch district, the Genung group, then the Leviathan and from there all the way to Octave are prospects that seem promising. Nearly everybody knows what the Octave company has done. Next comes the Maxmilian group, formerly owned by MT. Czarnowski, and turned over to the Leviathan company, and across the Hassayampa river, further east, is the Crown Point owned by Colonel Brodie. That is the general outline of the mines along the mineral belt through which runs a great mother lode and which seems to have been definitely located by Mir. Czarnowski in his Macmillan group. The big lode is contact be- tween an immense porphyry dyke fully a hundred feet wide which forms the foot wall and granite for nation on the other side. The Max milan group is six miles east of the Octave and eighteen miles from the railroad. It is continuation of the ten claims MT. Czarnowski bonded to the Octave, and which that company is developing as rapidly as possible. Mir. Czarnowski has done all the title work and is now engaged in sinking working shaft in pay ore all the way from the grass roots. The ore is free milling and easily horned and runs in value all the way from 5 per ton up. He is working as many men as can be done to advantage at pres ent. As for the quantity of the ore no adequate description of it can be given elsewhere than on the property as it seems to be simply immense. He claims a width of 400 feet for the vein, but others who have seen the property place the width at $500 feet and the length extends as far as any one has taken the trouble to carefully follow it. In one place he has what he calls mountain of ii. While it is some distance from the railroad, the development of the various properties owned by men who have unlimited backing, warrant the prediction that it will be but short time till road will be built through that section There has already been talk of it and necessity will do the rest.
 Chief Justice Webster Street has been called to Washington, where he will be given hearing on Thursday November 2l, by the attorney gen. eral on the charges now on file against him. The Journal Miner i: not familiar with the nature of the charges, but it has unbounded conf dence in the ability of the chief jus
