NJ. H. Marks has collection of gold
nuggets at his place of business, in
Pinos Altos, which rival in size the
stories of big Klondike finds. They
are products of the Pinos Altos placers,
aud purchased direct from the miners.
Many remarkable fine cabinet speci-
mems are among the stock, and in size

sired by the specimen hunter. The
Pinos Altos placers have long been
fam Gus for the large nuggets they have
yielded.-lniependent.

The Times says that an eXtraordi
nary engine and cars we're seen in the
Southern Pacific yards in FL Psso.
The cars were all of metal with ca
pacity of 700 cubic feet and weight
limit Of 20O0J pounds. The three
occupied fat car and the engine an
other. The latter had no cab or cover
ing of any kind and the engineers seat
was on stool above the water and
fuel tank. The wheels were enormous

ing on ordinary roads and is going to
La Canauea, Sonora, where it will be
used for hauling ore for the Greene
consolidated mining company. 1t is
not built for speed, and travels about
as fast as an ordinary ore wagon.
Thomas E. Davey, an English mining
engineer, who has been examining cop
per mines of Arizona, gave this as his
opiniol OF the mineral resources of the
grsat west: III have visited nearly all
the mining countries Of the world, v
said he, "but the opportunities of the
Rocky Mountains are excelled no.
where else on the globe. Many of the
districts of the Southwest need branch
railways leading from the great roads,
but the time has come when the large
corporations will build branches if the
mining outlook in the district will
warrant it, There Is surely going to
be vast development not only in Ari-
zona but in all the mining states of the
mountains"
