 Tuesday evening Supervisors Rich ard Farrel and Emerson Gee returned to Patagonia from Tucson, where they had been o confer with the Pima county board. Wednesday morning MT. Gee went to his home at Wash ingt0n Camp.
 Sunday evening Mir. J. N. Curtis, general manager of the Mowry mine, came into Patagonia from that prop erty, and Monday he went to Tucson. Mir. Curtis reports everything at the Mowry working smoothly and satis- factorily.
 R. R. Richardson and Wm. T. Powers are shipping high grade cop per ores from their Jos .phine and Connecticut mines in Josephine caflon, west of Patagonia. The ore yields twenty-four per cent copper, fourteen ounces silver and three dollars gold per ton.
 The Arizona Gold & Copper Co.,, to which has passed the title to the Col umbia shelter at Patagonia. and number of very rich and productive mines in that vicinity, consists of men of heavy financial standing IL the east, the company has ample capital. and will prosecute operations with great vigor. It is bound to make a great difference ln that thriving town.
 The new wagon road between Pata- gonia and Sslero is pushing toward completion as rapidly as men and money can do the work. The new road will be about thirteen miles in leDgth, and at Salero it will connect with road to Tubac, thence to Tucson, making the distance from Patagonia to the latter place only sxty-nine miles, with plenty of water all the way, while the present route. via old Camp Crittenden, is little scant in water.
 In the Bland mine, in the Salero | district, about eight miles west of Patagonia, in the foothills of the Santa Ritas, Messrs. Wm. T. Powers, George Clark and w. c. Heck have been running tunnel to cut the ledge at point l67 feet below the croppinRs. They have recently cut the ledge, and found a fine body of copper glance, running eighteen per cent copper, twenty. eight ounces in silver and eight dollars iD gold per ton. They are drifting both ways upon the edge, in good ore, and running to reach the other wall of the vein, upon which they expect to ind another ore body.
