The Nogales Oasis is engaged in
writing up the mining interests of So

Star and Copper King mines in the
Grand Canyon mining district. The

c. +. Eichelberger was in Yuma
last week arranging with the Naviga-
ton company to ship twenty-five tons
Of ore from his Good Enough" copper
mine in the Tyson district to the
smelter at Needles. A large body of
high grade copper ore was recently
encountered in the Good Enough"
mine. If the returns from the first
shipment are satisfactory the force OF
miners will be increased and regular
in boat loads will be made |
hereafter. The ere has to be freighted
by wagon from the mine to the landing
near Ehrenburg, n distance of twenty
five miles, but the road is all down hill,
making it possible for an ordinary
team to haul an exceedingly big load.

A movement is on foot to build the
proposed railroad from Martinez TO
the Colorado river, along the valley of
the Santa Maria and Bill Williams

sense, but from an agricultural stand
point. Along the Bill Williams there
are thousands of acres of the finest
land in the world that can be brought
under the benign influence Of the ag-
Good silver and copper
veins girdiron the mountains along
the whole line Of the proposed road.
Many of these mines are now being
actively worked, and to he others the
