j. II. Legier returned to Phenix
from Cochise county, where he has dis.
covered deposit of what he believes
will prove to lie superior quality of
marble. He told reporter that it
had 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
seems to be an immense quantity of
it and it is no great distance from the
railroad.-Prospector.

eral Thousand dollars worth of high
grade silver ore and afterwards selling

Albert Norton, of Denver, who has
been making a limited exploration in
the Grand Canyon, reached town on
the llth. Mr.. Norton has made, dur
ing the past three months, two unsuc
cessful attempts to navigate the un-
ruly river; on each occasion he was
wrecked, losing his boat and all his
supplies-barely escaping with his life.
On this last trial he put bis boat into
the river at the foot of the Bass trail,
aud succeeded in reaching his object
i've point-50 miles down stream-be
fore losing his boat on some ferocious
rapid. All these efforts were for the
purpose of locating a deposit of tin
that he had discovered seven years ago,
not knowing at that time what kind Of
ore it was. Fortunately he took sam
pies of the rock and, on reaching Den
yer and having it assayed, it proved to
carry 10 per cent tin. On this occasion
he came out of the canyon through the
lateral gorge known as Mohawk can
yon; but he informs the writer that
the mine-which has been duly located
lis more easily approached by Nat
ional canyon, down which the neces-
sary trail will be built. Mr.. Norton is
backed by strong company in Den
yer, and without doubt this new re-
source of our county will be worked
this summer for all it is Worthwhile
