Mrs. Lynch, one of the most esti-

approve of the article in the last issue

that the people of Chase creek are just

as Crystal Avenue. The people OF
Chase creek are more liberal in their
ideas than those of Crystal Avenu. Il,
they welcome all public Improvements

A considerable amount of claim
jumping is reported in the 'ireenlee
district, which is the best evidence of
renewed mining activity. Many pros
pvctOrs, so it is stated, have been hold
ing vast sections by relocating, and
often do not go TO the expense Of re-
cording, but relocate every three
months. This is Il most dangerous prac-
tice. AS the activity in the district
increases the property becomes more
valuable, and the greater the risk OF
its being jumped. From now on it
would be well for those who really
value their properly, and want to hold
it without trouble, to see that the law
is fully complied with. 1t is the only
safe way. If a prospector is not able

The recent strike of rich gold ore in
the Turquoise district near Tom bstone
is growing in Importance as work pro-
crosses. 1t has created u tremendous
excitement, aud the district is over
run with prospectOrs and mining men.
Some OF the ore-picked specimens,
of cudrse-is said TO ruu as high AS
S9S, 00G per ton. 1t is not reasonable 10
suppose that much Of this class OF ore
exists, hut it is quite likely hat the
strike will be the means OF the discov-
cry OF several good NINE, in the dis
;rict. Many OF the richest gold and
silver mines in the world have been
found in Arizona, and doubtless many
others will be found here. Arizona is

cate that the statement recently made
b. the ERA that the mother lode Of
