 The Rails Group
 The Rails group lies just west of the Christensen prospects and south. west of the Brophy group. It con. sists of seven claims which are among the most promising in the district. The group for the most part lies in higher and tougher ground than the Brophy property. We were only shown one peep into this property through the medium of a deep long cut, run in solid carbonates all the way the ore being exceptionally rich in copper glance. Incidentally. We may say that the big Copper Glance is most appropriately named, as glance jumps up in every prospect and ev. cry class of ore and in almost every boulder in the district
 The Rails group is exceptionally promising in the light of the slight development work which has been done
 The "Nieser" Group
 A 'arge and important group lying south and west of the Copper Glance is known throughout the district as the -Nigger' group, not through any sense of disrespect to Mir Johnson. the colored man who is one of the principal owners. but just as boys acquire nic names. The group em- braces ten or fifteen claims and is owned by MT. Johnson and the Arm strong boys. You will hear of this group from everybody who looks over the district. MT. Johnson. who looks after the assessments. is a Tea. worker. We examined one shaft thir- ty feet deep which Johnson had sunk without help ladder, rope or windlass. That is on the bench plan. and some Of the big blocks of black mettle and black sulphurets he threw out of that hole were rich enough to eat. We imagine that Mir Johnson throw ing waste out of the bottom of that hcle would remind one of a Yankee Doodie" throwing dirt out of his lit tie funnel shaped well. The group is distinguished by a heavy po-phry formation. the same stuff that crops out where they excavatei for the Glance hoist house. The ore on the dump of this bench shaft run by Mir. Johnson was the finest we have ever seen in the camp or nywhere else. for that matter. Of course one can obtain kidneys Of glance. native copper and other concentrated forms of the min eral nearly anywhere, but the ore above referred to is not only Of rare value but is of character indicating perm anancy.
 Back to the Copper Glance
 We are now back to the big Copper Glance after walking over miles of pleasant slopes where the wild pigs have rooted for buck nuts and the black tailed deer have aibb-,ad the 6at cactus. We deferred mention of the Glance because all of its original features have become familiar to the public through the columns of the Review. The Glance is simply doing what a dozen other combinations on this wonderful bel: ought to do-she is going after the big thing. There are too many claim owners in that district waiting for the Copper Glance to strike it and make them rich with out the stroke of pick On their part
 
 down a hundred ten-foot holes where they ought to have one thousand-foot hole. The Glance is doing business and it is to be hoped others wis fol- low her splendid example. They are down 445 feet and the ground looks more favorable every foot. They will go to the 1000 foot mark without a halt unless the formation offers special inducements for drifting be- fore that. They will then drift under Bald mountain, and the world will know whether the Copper Glance is nothing or a second United Verde. As surely as the sun rises the unparalleled showing of copper on and near the surface means a mine below and it is the happiest gamble on earth that the Glance is a colossal mine. Over at No. 4 they are going to the 200 for starter and are going fast. Never ia the history of this remarkable camp has its prospects been brighter. There is no chance for big operations as the company are simply developing and going to the core. They are doing the right thing at the right time and the right place and God speed them as every shot and every hammer stroke helps the district, the country and everybody in it.
 Scattering
 Timbers adapted to double com partment shaft are being framed for Mir. Pritchard's property north of the Glance. and active preparations are in progress in that vicinity.
 Mir. Farmer has been conducting work for New York near the Pritchard proper. ties north of the Glance and close to the railroad. The whim can be seen from the road. They have sunk 60 feet and are stoping on small scale. I'll a-l
