 The recent sales of turquoiSe mines at mineral ParA has caused the peo- pie of that vicinity to vigorously pros pect for deposits of theg gem. In their endeavor to get the best there has been several infringements on the To- cations of others and suits at law are in fair state of development.

 Mining men who have made a thorough examination of the mines Jf the Stockton Hill country are of the opinion that they eycontain the most ore bodies of any district in Arlzona. All the camp needs is deep mining to establish the perma- nency of the veins and this will be done by the people now opening up the Prince George mine. Many of the veins in that section have width between walls of from one to two hun dred feet, with ore scattered all through the vein matter. In places this ore forms immense bodies of very high grade gold-silver ores from which mil lions of dollars have already been Miner.

 Phenix is all excitement over the al- legged discovery of rich ore near the old Phenix mine, thirty-five miles north of Phenix. The property in which the rich ore was found is owned by the Gold Lode Mining company, and it is stated that a pay streak of 5000 gold rock was encountered at a depth of 60 feet. Considerable work has been done since and it is esti- mated that fully SIOO,OO0 worth of rock is now in sight. The company was known to have rich streak of rock running through the ledge when it opened the property two months ago, but the big values carried were not thought of. The highest values are found in five-inch streak of the two foot ledge. The whole ledge is rich. and although not a great deal of the vein has been uncovered, it can be traced along the surface for nearly a mile There k every indication oi the continuity of the ledge, in which case the property will develop into q bonanza of great importance.
