thus rendered possible to separate
minerals, which are attracted by
magnet, from those which are not, and
even to separate those which are
attracted in different degrees.-M & S

1t Is not so very long ago that the
Boston syndicate, which secured the
Sears interest in Old Dominion (Ari-
zona), offered 40s share for controll-
lug interest in the property, aud failed
to get it. IL is now on record that the
same syndicate has offered the Lewis
shOns ASS share for 25,0O0 shares, and
that the Lewishons have refused it.

Phelps, Dodge & Co, of New York, who
also own, or chiefly own, the big Cop

they (the United Globe mines) are
earning at the present time somewhere
in the neighborhood of 30,0OO5 per

What may turn out to be one of the
richest strikes in the county has lately
been made in the Look Out mine on
the east slope of Mount Union; at the
point on the divide, where the Turkey
creek, Lynx creek and Hassayampa
mining districts come together. This
claim has been noted for the great
amount of rich float found upon the
surface but heretofore no operations
have been able to locate the exact
/ point from which it came. Messrs. A.
E. Upper and George b. Scanned, the
present owners, have, however, been
doing some development work lately
and have been rewarded by finding
some enormously rich ore which has
been found in small lunches or minute
| pockets throughout the vein where the
development work has been in pro-
gress. Several samples taken from
these pockets went over the twenty
thousand dollar mark per ton in gold,
and one was found which assayed over
thirty thousand dollars per ton. The
vein which produced these samples is
one of three parallel veins running
through the claim, and the outcrop
shows for distance of twelve hundred
feet, having an average width of eight
feet. IL occurs in a huge dyke of
porphyry, the predominant country
rock of this section, and the general
course of the vein is north and south.

Frank NJ. Friessell of Pittsburgh, Pa,
who in company with David w. Barter
left here couple of months ago on a
/ t..;. a rnlA In ,iv
here Monday. Their trip down the
river was full of adventure. There are
many rapids in the river and their boat
was upset a number of times, throwing
the occupants into the river, compell-
ing them to swim to the shore and then
follow the boat until it was overtaken
and caught. They lost their guns,
camera and clothing, but managed to
save enough grub to reach Diamond
Canyon, 200 miles below their starting
point at Bright Angel. 1t is believed
that they found the body of w. III.
Russell, who was drowned in the river
some two years ago. They camped on
sandbaI several miles below Bright
Angel trail, and Barter dug into the
sand for the purpose of getting to dry
sand for his bed In shoveling the
sand he unearthed human skeleton.
There was nothing found by which
they could identify the remains. They
put in their time prospecting, and Mr..
Friessell brought back with him some
fine specimens of copper found above
the Diamond creek canyon, on the
south side of the Grand canyon
