In mentioning the change in the management of the Clear Lake mining company's property, which occurred recently, the Silver City Enterprise said:
 The Clear Lake mines are among the best developed mines in New Mexico and have been yielding good profit for years. The company now has large mill in operation but the new owners will soon put in more machinery and run plant at full capaclty. The property is at Steeple Rock, New Mex ico, near the line of Arizona and about twenty miles from Duncan on the Ari- zona & New Mexico railroad.
 The mines are located in Graham county, Arizona, and are opened by a shaft 100 feet in depth, and about loo feet of drifting, exposing a body of ore II feet in width which averages about sl6 per ton in gold. The plant consists of ten-stamp mill and one vanner, run but short time, as it was found that four more vanners were necessary to concentrate the pulp from the bat tery. The mines are about 20 miles from Steeple Rock, in a northerly di- rection, and are rached from Duncan, by good wagon road. The property is considered a most promising pros- pect, and with good management and sufficient equipment, will most probably be developed into big paying proper prise should read the mining columns of the ERA, and become familiar with the mining interest of the country.

Considerable excitement was occa- stoned in this city Monday evening last by the mysterious disappearance of Al Anderson, of the grocery department of the Company's store. He had spent two weeks lay-off prospecting in the Mayfower district. Monday night about dark he was seen making his way out of town on horseback, with roll of blankets, and a canteen supposed tC contain water. The rumor soon spread throughout town that he had discov- cred the long lost Adams diggings, and was going out to bring in a sack oi gold nuggets which he had cached ir the hills. Several old prospectors be- came greatly excited, secured horses and spent half the night trying to cut his trail, but made failure of it, re- turned to town about daylight. Mir Anderson has not yet returned, but when he does his friends will be dis appointed if he brings in less than one hundred pounds of nuggets.

 Under the above caption new com pany has been formed for the develop ment of the Molder and Jenkins group of fifteen mines situated near NOrenci, which were described in the ERA re- gently. This, as it's name implies, is ttrictly home company, and was or ganized for the purpose of assisting the former owners in the development of their property The owners had ex- pended considerable amount Of money in opening up their property, and with most favorable results. As soon as the articles of incorporation were filed, a block of 5O,OOO shares were put on the market at Morenci and Clifton, at 10 cents per share. The stock was put on the market Monday morning, and Wednesday Morencis share of 25,O00 were sold, and the Clifton repre- sentative drawn on for 12,0O0 more. This shows the confidence of the Mo- renci people not only in the mines but also in the management of the com
 
 familiar with the property. Develop ment work was commenced on three different properties Monday last, and from reliable information received yes terday, it is safssso state that an exten- sive body of high grade ore has already been uncovered on the Bumblebee. The new strike is said to be seven feet in width, and carries gold as we'll as copper. A whim is now being put in place on the Peacock shaft, which will be sunk at least 100 feet deeper.
 The Home Copper company starts of under the most favorable circumstances. It has the full confidence of the home people, who know that every dollar they put up for stock will be spent in the development of the property. The chances for developing two or three good mines among the group are most favorable, which would at once send the stock to par.

We can not positively state that MT. COlquhoun's report on the Ray mines is favorable and that the experts who subsequently, examined the property all corroberate his report. This being true, it may be confidently expected that operations at the Ray will be re- sumed in the immediate future. In the meantime it is probable that the com pany will be reorganized with the great New York coppermen, holding the controlling interest, truly "a con- summation devoutly to be wished," as it would mean another great copper mining camp in Arizona, equal to Bis bee or Clifton Arizona Blade.

A game of base ball was played Sun day last on the Clifton diamond between Clifton and Morenci hines, with a score of 22 to in favor of Clifton. It seemed to be an of day. with the Morenci boys. To begin with, they had bad luck, as two of their best players sprained their ankles and had to retire from the game which weakened the team. The Morenci boys insisted on Burt Moore umpiring the game, but became dissatisfied with his rulings and jollied him until he left the dia- mand Another umpire was put in and met with the same fate. Nit Simms, was then installed, and owing to his fierce appearance and general reputa- ton as a load man." and also to the fact that he thinks he knows all about the game, he was allowed to run it to suit himself. He umpired it to his en- tire satisfaction, and if any of the play CTS were dissatisfied, they had the good judgment to keep quiet about it. As an umpire Nit is great success, at least he proved to be in this instance.

William Church Dead.

4 dispatch from Denver dated May 25 conveys the sad intelligence Of the sudden death by apoplexy oi William Church, one Of the most prominent and wealthy citizens 0, that city. Mir
 Church was one Of the pioneers of this district, coming here in 1880, and by indominable energy and perseverance did more than perhaps any other one man towards opening up the great copper mines Of Morenci. Though constantly harras5ed by hostile Apaches and by rustlers in those early days, MT. Church stuck to the camp, and was richly rewarded for his labor. About four years ago he sold his valu- able mineral estates to the Detroit Copper Co.,, since which time he has resided in Denver, where he purchased real estate and engaged in various business enterprises. The announce ment of his death was a shock to this community, where he spent so many Of the most active years of his life. He was SO years Of age, but strong and vigorous up to the time of his death.

The Paul JennisOn Concert company gave an entertainment at Library Hall Friday night last, which was perhaps the best musical entertainment eyer given in this city.

From the Tombstone Prospector.
 Cochise county can furnish the big gest mining deals in the territory if not in the west, and is conclusive evil dence of our contention that Cochise is the banner mining county in the terri tory. As an instance it is cited that mining deed filed for record in the recorders office this week involves a consideration of s1,60O,00 This is the property the Calument & Arizona Co.,, acquired from the Lake Superior & Western DevelopmentC Co. and known as the Costello group, adjoining the Copper Queen at Bisbee. The deed carries with it revenue stamps to the extent of Sl60O. A bond of the South Bisbee Co. properties in the same dis trict to a Glasgow syndicate for s2, 225,- 900 has just been ratified by the com pany.
