Two mining deals were closed in
Prescott yesterday, according to infor-
nation which the Courier considers
reliable. One was the Red Rock mine |
owned by Askew, Little, Santey & Co. /
which was purchased by Boston capi- |
talists and cash payment made. The
exact figures could not be obtained,
but they run up in to the thousands of |
dollars, some say l000O0S. The other |
deal was on that certain group of cop
per claims which Scotch syndicate,
represented by Prof Comstock, has
been working under three months
bond aud lease, with VIM. Bashford
as superintendent The company be-
came satisfied with the properties, pur-
chased them yesterday aud paid down
some thousands of dollars of the pur.
chase price. The latter properties are
! located near Huron.-Prescott Courier,
The notable success, as managers,
of American mining men over mining
men of other countries is in quickly
and successfully solving the problem.
Given a certain sum of money locked
up in certain piece of ground, how
can that money be extracted in the
shortest possible time at the cheapest
cost? A mine is nothing more or less
than a certain amount of money locked
up in earthly material; the more quick
ly that money can BE- taken out the
less interest will have TO be paid on
the capital invested TO take it out, aud
the sooner the profits realized can
themselves be turned into interest
bearing sums. 1t follows logically that
the more quickly mine is developed
the sooner extraction can be begun

The Mulatos mine, Sonora, Mexico,
is reported sold again, this time to
men who "will build the largest mill in
the republic of Mexico" The volum-
inous information is vouchsafed that
"the ledge is 500 feet wide, and that it
would take 500-stamp mill centuries
to reduce it," 1t is now about ten
: years since Haywood & Hobart of San
l Francisco brought suit to recover :
. $3.50 0S, which they had paid for the

5 California mining engineers. Alvinza
