 The Troy company has decided to in-
 stall mating furnace, after a careful
 test of the ores by various processes.
 This will greatly increase the business of the Troy camp, and this business
 will be permanent. Before deciding 10
 take this step, the company thorough
 ly prospected their mines and blocked
 out their ore, so that they would have
 a certainty of long run. Now it be- hooves the business men of Florence and Casa Grande to see that the busi- ness of Troy is not diverted to Red
 Rock. There is but one way to do this,
 and that is to put the wagon road from
 Riverside to Casa Grandc in frst-class
 The company will take charge of the
 road between Riverside and Troy

 The following clipping is from the Colorado Springs Gazette: Newkirk X Hanger this morning received re- turns from q 100-pound sample of ore taken from Arizona properties which gave 2.56 ounces gold and 10 per cent copper. The company is composed of Florence and Canon City people. They own the Canyon City and Gold Nugget claims located about twelve miles from Wickenburg, Arizona. This company was organized about four months ago and since that time A. A. Ireland of Leadville and Cripple Creek, a mining expert and a graduate of the school of mines, has located these properties and will take charge of the development of them and others that may be located. The ore from the Canyon City and Gold Nugget is free milling sugar quartz, hematitc irons with cross leads of copper.
 Jack Fraser and Jack Smith arrived | in Mesa today on their return from l klondikc country, where they were among the lucky ones who "struck it | rich" Mir. Smith has been in the | country since the big strike there four years ago, having been staked by Mir. | Truman and Mir. Fraser. He located l some very rich copper claims, and last | June Mir. Fraser ran up there to look | over the field. He declares that they | have tho biggest thing in the world a ledge 100 feet wide of rich copper | ore, with streaks six and seven feet | wide of native copper glance. The ledge is about l50 miles from the coast l and hard to get at, but there is plenty | of coal near. They expect to work the on large scale in the spring, or sell it. A big syndicate is said to be negotiating for it at large figure. Every body in this part of the country will rejoice with them in their good tortune.-AIesa Free Press.
 The general exodus Of mining people into Sonora. calls forth the following editorial notice of the Altar district from the Tucson Star: Word comes from the Altar mining district that there is an unusual number of mining men going into that section. The de- of the bonanza of Con O'keefe's mining company is exciting unusual interest. The results are rich and prom ising. It has been predicted that this group of mines would prove as big gold and silver bonanza as the Cobra Grande has proven in Copper. It would seem the prediction was coming true. The Altar district has been reputed rich mineral region for nearly a century, was this so before the Apaches up to within fifteen or twenty years ago drove the Mexican miners out of the mining industry. But as the Apaches roam no more and the old mines are again being rehabilitated and new ones opened the Altar district will again become famous and large of silver, gold and copper will be the result.n
