 A great many mining men are com. ing in from distance to see the new strike reported in our last issue made by Scanlan X Go. in the Dos Cabezas mountains, near Wilcox. The ore bodies are gradually increasing and as yet the dimensions of this wonderful body have not been fully ascertained. It grows larger the more and further it is explored. That the ore body is one of the most wonderful ever dis covered is now never questioned. Range News.
 A strike in rich copper ore occurred this week in the Fl Capitan that Is likely to create considerable excite ment in the Agua Fria mining dis trict. The shaft, which is now down forty feet, has been from the start Tn a stratified formation, but is now in solid ore that assays twenty one and a half per cent copper. This property was few months ago acquired by Cap tain Philips for Douglas, Lacey & Co. and consists of four claims, each l l,500 by 600 feet in area, and lays one and one-half miles west from Cherry sta. ton on the line of the P. X E. railroad It seems that Douglas, Lacey & Co. are decidedly in the swim as far as mine making in this section is con cerned. The shaft on their U. S. mine, which is now down 230 feet, shows six feet of ore, three of which runs about $S5 in values, and the other three feet is excellent concentrating ore. The strike in the Fl Capitan of over five feet of twenty-one and half per cent copper creates very little excitement in this land of promise, but to the shareholders in the El Capitan Copper company it will be no doubt quite diff ferently appreciated.
