 third time you mention the same prop ejaculate, chestnut" but if they had seen and examined that big chunk of rock which Neighbor Briggs brought in with him, they would have rubbed their ancient spectacles up, spit over their off knee and reached for it with a forced sort of here pardner, let me look at that Then as they eX- amined it, rubbed it rolled il over and applied a jack knife analysis to it, their eyebrows would indicate a con centrated interest and you could not get rid of them until they had the story, and when they got it, they would grunt and retire, remarking, Well, didn't know there was anything like that out there" The specimen. along with 20 or 30 pounds of others, came from the breast of the drift 230 feet from the shaft. It is a mineral cabi- net in itself, carrying quartz as the basis, iron in abundance, native cop per, copper glance, and decomposed matter rich in free gold, besides black oxyde of copper Just here MT. Briggs exhibits an assay certificate of a sam pie of the soft matter which predomi- mates in the specimen and it read like this in values, Silver 3.11; Copper at last quotation 40.08: Gold 2ss.40 Total 331.59. It was beautiful stuff in which liberal sprinkling of native copper, and an occasional speck of free gold could be seen with the un- aided eye. At the time of which we speak, MT. Briggs says that they had been driving through it for two days and several thousand pounds had been hoisted. This statement is not oyerdTawn as regards the sample for anyone can see the rock by calling at the company's office over the post office. This is the fines. stuff we have seen from the Modern and would indicate that the future output of that property will carry important values in gold which are happily counted upon by the management in footing up their balance sheet. These gentle men who have struggled against al- most every species of diversity in the development of this property have always maintained suprerse confidence in their enterprise simply because the goods were there, and every shot disclosed them richer and more abund- ant than before all of which insures final success for the nerve and enter prise of the promoters of this remark able enterprise. The presence of the proper stun in sufficient quantities, tells story which no one can contra dict, and puts can on the wild cats tail which he can never shake of. The Modern looks better every day.
 
 Home Mining Men on the Wing.
 Major Hargrove and MT. Beckman left yesterday for the field of their mining operations in Sonora They rep resent the mining brokerage company of B. F. Graham and company with which they are identified. That com pany with headquarters in the Copper Queen hotel are laboring to get Ari- Zona and Sonora properties in shape and place them before eastern capital ists. The present mission of Messrs. Hargrove and Beckman is to visit, ful- ly examine and report on the b;S gold and silver group about 35 miles east of Cos. and across the Yaqui river from tha. point. These properties have been heard of before, being the center of a new aad remarkable dis trict which has begun to attract wide spread attention in the mining world. This is the place where the Major was thrown from his mule and suffered a disloca.ion of the shoulder, but now that he is able to travel he is anxious to return and dc something to bring what he believes to be a splendid min ing district to the front The district is distinguished topographically for being exceedingly rough. 1t is re markedly well supplied with water and timber It lies about 10 miles east of the Yaqui river which Is a rushing. un- failing stream at that point and cleo trical power could be generated at the river and transmitted to the camp cl the most economic plan. The country presents some difficulties in the mat ter of transportation at present which can soon be overcome, though its rough charadfer will inevitably make road buildingfexpensive This same rough character. of the country. how ever, capacities development opera tions and insures an unfailing supply of water.
