 New Mining Company
 W. T. Meade, of San Francisco. and William Short of Caballona, Sonora were in town this week on business connected with some mining property owned by them about fifteen miles south of Douglas in Sonora The property as far as developed is an ex- ceptionally fine prospect, and shows up strong ledge of copper bearing ore three miles in length. There are two shafts on the property, one about 80 feet and the other 125 feet in depth At the bottom of the latter shaft the vein has been cross cut fourteen feet without showing either wall. The ore is high grade in copper, carrying val ues in gold and silver.
 Some San Francisco parties have became interested and a company has feen formed to work the property on an extensive scale. Hoisting works and a pump will be placed on the property. It is expected to have the machinery in operation some time during the next thirty days.
 The company has an unusually fine prospect and the outlook is favorable for the development of big mine. Study of Clifton, Ariz., Copper District
 A comprehensive report of the oc- currence of copper in the vicinity of Clifton in southern Arizona, is being prepared by Mir W. Lindgren. geolog ical survey. The field work on which the report is based was commenced early in November last. The mines Clifton produce at present approxi- mately 2,500 tons of copper a month, and the mining district ranks third among the copper producers of the territory, only United Verde and Bis bee exceeding it. The geological sur vey had previously prepared a de tailed topographic map of the region, and the geologic work begun in the autumn was completed in the winter. Special attention was given to . study l of the mines, in which portion of the work four months were spent. The results will be of general interest, as the investigation largely dealt with the secondary concentration % com mon in copper deposits. end also with tAe character of the original deposits.
