 The filing of the Golden Rule Min ing X Exploration company incorpo- ration papers yesterday afternoon at- tracted no little attention on account of the fact that the incorporators were all women.

The capital stock of the company is S3j0, 600 and the incor- porators Laura Brill, Clara A. Evans, Sarah A. Hutchinson, M. P. Hutchin- son, Ella s. Early, Kate Copeland and Carrie L. Clark.

 Work on the Brookshire property continues to prove that that mine can not fail to make bonanza mine. On the 200-tOot level they still continue to encounter ore in whatever direction they may drift.

The effect that the development of thiI mine will have on the Decatur and other adjacent properties, will assist much Tn the development of the district. t.-Jerome News.
 That the King of Arizona is the greatest gold mine in the southwest is now a settled fact. The vertical shaft which was sunk to catch the main ledge, the first of this week pene- trated rich body of ore at 600 feet. The pay streak at that depth is four feet wide and runs S54 per ton. A per feet hanging wall was found, which shows conclusively the permanency of the vein. Crosscutting will be prose cuted at once to determine the actual width of the vein at that depth. There is now enough high grade ore in sight to make the King a big pro- ducer for many years to come, with indications pointing to the develop ment of bigger and better mine than it's fortunate owners ever dreamed of.
