 big strike of rich copper ore has been made in the Walker-Larrimore group, near the Decatur. The ore av- erages l5 per cent copper, and there are 70 tons of it on the dump. The strike was made in tunnel, and they have drifted 1T feet and are still in the same character Of ore; they have also sank 10 feet on the same, and the strike still holds out. These claims [ are under bond to Hooker & Mcfarland and John Loosely, and they inform us that they propose to do S3 ,000 worth of development work on the property at once Jerome Reporter.
 One of the most remarkable eras of :, general prosperity which Nevada has ever experienced is operating at the present time. Within the past month four large mining sales have been made in various parts of the state. one for S175, 900, one for S336, 900, (Tonopah), one $25O 900 and one for S20O, 900, in all amounting to nearly one million dollars. | Beside this large number of smaller sales have been made which will aggre- gate a large sum in themselves, and any number of bonds have been taken on promising prospects. Almost every mining camp in the state is being over- run with representatives anxious to purchase good mining property.-Car- son News.
 O. E. Avery, of Los Angeles, and G. c. Davis, of Kingman, have made ar engagements with the New England and Arizona mining company whereby they will work the tailings at the Sheeptrail mill by the cyanide process. Mr. Avery is one of the most thorough cyanide operators on the coast and will make a success of his operations in this county. The tanks and other machiu- cry are in place and pumps have been ordered. Mr. Avery has gone to Los Angeles to see that the pumps are put in shape and shipped at once. There are about fifteen hundred tons of good tailings to work over and tests made show that there is good profit in them for the operators.-Mohave Miner.
 In referring to the Goodwin Bro- thers' gold mine at Goldfeld, Pinal county, 30 miles north of Florence the Tempe News says: Carl Hayden, Chas. Woolf, James c. Goodwin and Garfield looking at the mining claims owned at that place by the Goodwin brothers. These claims adjOin the famous Nam moth mine from which S3S0,OOO was taken in comparatively short time, and the Mammoth ledge continues in- to the Goodwin claim up on which is a fifty foot shaft in fine ore. The ledge averages $40 in gold per ton. The Goodwin claims are among the many promising ones in the Goldield dis tricts, which will again rank among the big producers of the territory.
 Thomas Ewing, formerly general manager of the New England and Ari- zOna and New England and Nevada mining companies, is in Boston trying to effect a deal looking to the consoli- dation of the two companies and the reOpening of the mines. It is Mir. Ew- ing's intention, should the deal be con- summated, to install water wheels in the Colorado river for the generation of power to operate the mines and mills. The company will probably defer to Mir. Ewing's views and the effort to solve the problem of cheap power on the river made. The mines would un- doubtedly become big payers were it not for the fact that fuel is very dear in that section and that some cheap power will have to be obtained before the mines become financial success- Mohave Miner.
 Chance McKendrick of Park City, Utah, returned Saturday night from a trip to the Coconino company's big copper property in Arizona, just over the Utah line, says the Salt Lake Tri- bune. He reports splendid headway at the new mill structures. The frame work was about all up, and by this time, he says, it must be pretty we'll housed in. Two carloads of machinery, con- sisting of boilers, engines, smokestacks and equipment for the Neill teachers, were sidetracked at Marysvale on Sat | urday, and teams were there waiting to load. MT. McKendrick says DOT | tion of the material is undoubtedly on it's way down the road by this time. It is 165 miles from Marysvale to the mine, but the roads are in good con- dition, and the heavy material can be transported without danger of accident or loss of time.
 One Of the most promising gold min- ing districts in this section, is what Is known as the Hodges mining district, located up the Colorado river about 35 miles above Picacho. The Hodges Bros, who are we'll known business men of Yuma and Hedges, own some very valuable claims in the district,
