 fident ind much work being done.
 Everything SO far published about the
 new find is found to be correct and
 every man of means who has come to
 the bi z mine has made an offer for the
 property. The frat attempt to buy
 was d Sl50, 900 and this has risen until
 s}50, 900 has been refused. Just as
 many men as can work are employed
 on tie mine. Other claims in that
 vicinity are developing rapidly, lum-
 Der and machinery is arriving daily
 and altogether Wickenburg has a pros
 perous appearance. Enterprise.
 It is reported that the Silver Queen
 mine, fifty miles south of Tucson, has
 been sold to Colorado and Wyoming
 men, after an idleness of many years.
 The mine is said to have produced s.,
 900, 900 in silver Most of the ore was
 taken out in the early sixties, and the
 hign grade ore was exhausted. The
 met of mining silver then would
 not permit of profitable treatment in
 Arizona of average grade silver ore, ! but although the white metal has de- 1 creased in value there is reason to be-
 lieve that under improved methods the mine may profitably be operated
 on large scale. .-L. A. Herald.
 ! James Jackman has uncovered a vein
 of lead silver ore in the Wallapai
 mountain, near the Round Valley country that promises to become a big ore producer. In sinking ten feet Mir. | Jackman took out six tons of ore that has a value of I2 ounces silver, S6 dol lars gohi and 60 per cent lead. The mine IS accessible by wagon and ore can be hauled to kingman for about s6 per ton. Harvey iIubbs is the owner with Mir. Jackman in the mine and the other day put men to work on
 the property with d view to opening | 1t up. A carload of the ore will be shipped % the sampler at once to get at its real value and at the same time | the work of exploration will be kept | Mohave County Miner.
 | News leaks out of a rich gold find
 nine mi es from kyrene. Burnett Bros. of Mesa, are the pioneers and for one and {. half years they have been
 working single handed. Others have | been let into the secret and several
 new claims have been located. Bur
 nett Bros. are running tunnel to
 strike the vein at lower depth and | their reason for finally allowing | others in .o the mine was because of | expense of tunneling. There is q | good deal of smothered excitement on ! the south ,ide as those who have seen samples of the ore or have visited the | place say 1t is very rich in coarse gold. ! The parties themselves are reticent | about the matter and but meager in-
 formation has reached the public. i Within the next few days no doubt | the eXtenj of the find will be more | definitely known. Enterprise.
 l The Tombstone mines, once the | greatest producers of the continent,
 have been closed fifteen years. Work ! was discor tinued because the work | ings were filled with water. Since ! that time there has been constant | wrangllng as to which company ! should undertake the gigantic task of unwaterln,,. Experts assert that once | relieved of the immense quantities of water, the production Of the mines can be male greater and the opera tIons more profitable than ever be-
 fore, notwithstanding the appreciated | value of silver. The mines have been worked to | depth of only 4O0 or 300 feet, and l,here has been prospecting | to indicate that at depth of 3,0JO feet the ore bodies are most extensive and rich. A half million dollars has been subscribed by Youngstown capitalists, and altogether nearly million dol lars will be put into the undertaking.
 E. s. Gage and W. r. Staunton, su- perintendent of his well known Con- | gress gold mine, and others have vis- | ited the abandoned mines recently, and they are planning a pumping ! plant and a new shaft. Il. A. Herald ] W. D. Piles, who lives at New River station, wat in the city recently and l brought wijlI him d lot of fine looking ! ore from a claim he has located and
 named the Apache. He says he has six-toot ledge and the ore, while it
 has not been assayed by him, is re-
 ported by hers to be rich in gold,
 and 1t certainly has that appearance,
 as many little specks of the precious
 metal can be seen without the use of
 a glass. His property lies north of lhe city near New River and close to
 wood and water. Thomas Elder of
 Phoenix and Jerome. also returned to
 the city and reports the boom in the
 Venture llill property aB still unabat-
 ing. It has recently been exported by
