 Citizen D. 0. Cochran, the Tucson contractor and builder, re- turned yesterday from Arivaca where he has been engaged in the construction of buildings for min ing companies in that district. Mir. Cochran reports mining to be very active there. The Golden Star mine, three miles from Arivaca, have just put in stamp mill to work their ore which runs high in gold. They will be able to treat 20 tons a day. Mr. Cochran him self is interested in a group of fourteen claims near Arivaca. As says from his property run high in gold and the owners are now ne- with Eastern parties for the sale of their property. In going from here to Ariyaca Mir.

 property is very promising and it's
 value is greately enhanced by it's
 convenience to Globe as trans-

 Yuma Sun: A. P. Wiley was in
 town the first of the week on a
 visit to his family and to procure
 more supplies for his little mining camp up the river. Mir Wiley is in-
 terested in some gold quartz claims in Riverside county, California, about four miles from the Arizona
 line, where he has been for the past several months, superintend- ing development work. He has four men helping him, and they are sinking on two claims. Mir.
 Wiley is confident that they have great mine, and, if they have any considerable amount of the kind of rock that has been exhibit ing here, they doubtless have a bo- nanZa.

From him the Star learns that the big acid plant will soon be completed, ready to run. It is expected all of the reduction works will be in operation in thirty days. The ore reserve of the mine is large and the company will make plenty of bullion, as it has the ore and the plant to do the work.

A moving story is now being told
in Paris, writes a correspondents, of
the sad issue to a project for devel-
oping the French Soudan by means
of motor cars. A was
formed about a year ago to make
money by undertaking to purvey sup
plies to all the stations of the Sou
dan, Niger and Senegal in automo-
biles. Sixty were built at a cost of
e4s0 each-strong wagons of nine
horse power fit for rough colonial
wear and tear. Unhappily one detail
had been overlooked. There are no
roads in these far regions, and, after
experiences too painful to relate, the
cars had all to be abandoned in the
wilds, where they still lie, so many
objects of curious interest to the
jackals. The upshot is that they still
lie imbedded in the sands, and any
body who wants G2s,000 worth of
motors can have them for the fetch
ing-from the African bush.
