T. d. Morris of the Headquarters
saloon in this city, has bonded his gold
mines in the Clark district, of which he
owns group of nine claims, to Judge
G. +. Norman of Solomonville, aud
John Brock, a prominent mining man

March 9th and by its terms Mr.. Morris
is to receive 75,OO0s for the property,
the first payment of lO,OOOS to be made
in thirty days from the time of the
agreement. The deferred payments
are TO be three OF l5,0OOS each at inter
walls of four months and the final pay
ment in six months thereafter. Mr.
Brock is expected here this week to go
out to the mines. All the claims have
made good showing of gold rock and
we'll defined veins. The greatest

The news can be announced on the
best of authority that the famous old
Vulture mine, which was lately bonded
to Mr.. Willis B. Troy OF New York,
will soon be in active operation. Near
ly all of the preliminary work spper-
tanning To the formation of the new
corporation has been completed aud
sufficient cash has already been paid
down to virtually close the deal A
partial transfer has been made and As
soon as the final organization is CON.
pleted the property that once made
Arizona famous and Senator Tabor of
Colorado, a multi-millionaire, will
once more step into the line of great
producers. The Vulture was worked
for years aud produced over l2,OO0,OOJS
in gold, all from free milling ores. At
the time it was in operation vanners
and other concentrating machinery
was not in use, and when the oxide
ores became too base to give profitable
returns the mine was abandoned and
has only been worked Internationally
since by chloriders and leasers If
cheap transportation and a method of
working the sulphide ores had been
feasible twenty years ago it would
probably have been in operation to
this day, aud it was only the lack of
such conditions that placed it on the
retired list. The people who have its
future in charge, it is understood, will
install a great reduction plant com
plete with all the necessary machinery
for handling the ores and will conduct
the work on large scale. The ore
body, although of low value, is said to
be very large and can be prohtably
taken out and worked by modern meth
DDS. The new plant will probably not
be finished until late in the year, but
it is understood that active work will
be begun in the mine before June
