 Charles c. Davis and l. w. Hawkins have located the big copper vein in the Aquarlus mountains, east of the Wind mill and brought to Kingman samples of ore that were phenominally rich. One of the samples gave a result of over Il ounces gold to the ton. The ore also carries copper. MT. Davis states that the vein is very large one, and that between walls it will average more than S2O to the ton. -Kingman Miner
 Another rich strike was made in the Gro Grande mine, near Wickenburg, 8 lew days since. It was made in the drift of the 2OO-foot level, and the ort Is richer than any previously taken 9ut The extent of the ore body hai not yet been determined, as they only struck It couple of days ago ant have been cutting into it since. Nc assays of the ore have been made, al Its richness is self-evident without as saying JOurnal-Miner.
 The gold discovery near Patagonia appears to be one of the richest tha jAls country has known since the golt mountain of the Galiuro mountains was found few months ago.
