 Two Chicago capitalists, Mes-r-. C.
 F. Hall and J. l.. Dunkley, who have
 been the guests of Colonel Atkinson
 at his camp in the San Domingo dis trict for the last week. have secured several choice mining properties, among them the famous Jim Winters group, consisting of the Roosevelt, Joe
 Wheeler, Brodic and Anne, with mill sites and water rights, etc. The eX- act amount paid is not known, but is believed to be in the neigh b0rhood of SlO0, ,0OO. The proposition is a low grade one, casly millcd, exceptionally situated for cheap handling and assays from Sj to %gj per ton. The uurchls- CTS will proceed at once to develop the ,,-+ll ,p1A,,htall,, the millions in this literal mountain of gold waiting to be quarried-not mined. Mir. Winters, the discovcrer of this great property, has been in the district many years and has devoted q long life to the investigation of Ari- lona's mineral interests. To his long experience and Colonel Atkineon's Chicago energy and business, ability Arizona is indebted for this accession to the local development.
 Mr NJ. R. Riley, the supcrint ntcndent of the Gro Mining company's property, formerly the Boaz, on the south slope oi the Brad>haws, has his 6O.stamp mill completed and in running order, says the Prescott Prospect. The Boa2 mill has twenty stamps and he has added forty, thus making it the largest mill in the southern part of thc county. Considering that all his machinery has been hauled oyer the mountain road from Kirkland station on the ;. r. T.. S r. railroad the work has been very expeditions. Mr. Riley states that the Tiger and the Ora Bella are also about to start up. The history of this property extends back into the early eighties, when it was discovered and partly developed by Frank ltylaud, well known miner of the old time. since deceased. Ky land sold it to the Boaz company, who put up q 20-stamp mill before with the ! usual results. After running very short time both mine and mill were shut down and lay idle for several l years until it was taken up by the present company. Many miners and . prospectors who know the property well say that it is undoubtedly a first class one; while those who knew Frank Rylaud say that he was tco well posted in mines and mineral deposits to have wasted his time on anything but the best in a region where there were 50 many to pick from.
 It is to be hoped that the name Of . the Model Mining company will not be taken at its word, that its methods of operating will not be adopted as model after which new companies shall pattern their conduct says the Phoenix Republican. The recent suit hlc1 against the management by cer- tain stockholders, alleging the fraudu- lent handling of stock, is the only oth- CT illustration of the oft-repeated statement that wildcat mining is gen. erally the fault Of the management rather tan the mine.
