 In the eastern states there are hun dredS of mining companies that claim to have mines in Arizona that DO Ari- zOnan has ever heard of. These compa, nies in the main are fakes and should be denounced by the newspapers of the territory. We have one Of the richest mineraized territories in the world and there is no necessity of foiSting fake mining schemes on the market. A legitimate proposition in the end will net the promoter far more than he can get from fake proposition and we believe that a crusade on this class of promoters will put them out of the business. As the Mohaye Mi ner says, in MOhaye and other cuun- ties there are mines of gold, silver and copper that can be made to pay well. if capital could be induced to take them up and properly develop them. -PrOspectOr.
 Francis NJ. Hartman and ThOs. Sel- by have returned from their trip to the Princess gold mines located in the Galuria mountains, about sixty miles from Wilcox. They brought with them some gold dust and ores rich in free gold. From all that can be learned of these mines they promise to create considerable excitement in the near future. The ore body or dyke is from 400 to 800 feet wide, the entire body carrying more or less gold. Nature has developed the principal mine. Rattlesnake creek has cut a gorge through it, making perpendicular wall more than 100 feet in depth, eX- posing the vast ore body. It is 100 feet more from the top of this gorge to the crest of the ledge, which makes it 200 feet from the creek to the crest. The development work has been done by running tunnels from the base of the vein as exposed by the gorge, and work is in ore. The immense body of gold-bearing ore is comprised in twelve claims. Star.
