 Shares in Arizona mines are snap ped up eagerly by the eastern invest ing public, provided the mines con trolled by the companies have a good reputation. Therefore it is well to keep the reputation of our mining ventures on a high plane and there will be very little trouble in placing the property on the eastern market. Taking schemes will do more to throw down meTitoIious deals than any other cause.-Mohave Miner.
 At item appeared in the Journal Miner recently telling about big strike made in the Gold Lode claims in the Cave Creek country, the ore as reported running as high as 5000 per ton.

 John Hays Hammond, one of the most noted mining experts in the world, is now at Lake Valley, New Mexico, where he will make thor ough examination of that famous old property. In the early sos Lake Valley startled the world by her won derful silver output. The mine paid several millions in dividends but the rich ores on the surface were exhaust ed in a few years, and the mines shut down. 1t has generally been con sidered that ores of Lake Valley Oc- cured in blanket deposit, but there are those who believe that another de- posit exists deeper down. If Mir. Hammond makes a favorable report oL the property work will soon be re- sumed there on an extensive scale. Mir. Hammond is now in charge of the Independence, Stratton's former property, at Cripple Creek. He was formerly in charge of some of the big mines on the Rand in South Africa, but unfortunately became mixed up in the Jameson raid, and has not since found that section healthy To- cation. Mir. Hammond was operating on the rand at a depth of 5000 feet and was one of the first men to put reduction works down in the mine, instead of hoisting the ore to the sur face.-Ex.
