MINING NOTES.

F. J. Jams. manager of the Tomb stone Telephone company. who has been in the city for several days, re- turned to his home at Stafford this morning. says the Tombstone Prospect or. Mir. Hams is interested in the de- velopment of q promising copper claim near the Apache Indian reservation. He had with him piece of ore that was taken from a drift being run 10 cross the ledge. The piece is about four inches thick and is nearly pure copper being one of the best specimens of tha. nature seen here for some time. The specimen was taken from d stringer leading to the ledge. He and his part ner have about thirty feet more of the tunnel to run before reaching the ledge. If the present conditions hold out, he will soon have sufficient copper on hand to make into wire for the ex- tension of his telephone line.
 Deputy Sheriff Miller came in yester- day from Jerome. He says the smelter is temporarily shut down, owing to the shortage of coal: that a good deal of machinery in the line of air compress OTIS and hoists is being hauled into the Black Hills country, and that the shelter is being erected on the Iron King. near the Copper Chief.-Courier.
 Superintendent Van H. Brooks came in from the Gold Basis mine yesterday where he is doing development work with good results and is running the mill steadily This property is located on Groom Creek. a few miles south of Prescott.-Courier.
 Mike Welch came in last evening from the gold camp near the old Stock ton place. He reports than another ledge of ore was recently uncovered there in the Anguis property. and that it will average over S60 to the ton. The company expects to start up it's mill In the course of a few weeks. They have now plenty of free milling ore on the dump to keep the mill running for some little time, and have now an abundance of water. which has been a drawback to starting up before.- Prospector.
 William Mack. who owns a rich group of mines in Yuma county, few miles south of Aubrey, was in Kingman few days ago after supplies. The group of mining claims are considered the richest in Yuma county, and have been worked for years past with vary ing results. It is said that the main claim of the group has an ore body in the face of the drift from the 1S- foot level. that measures eight feet in width. that gives an average of $500 gold and thirty per cent copper. Free gold can be seen sticking all through the rock. A five-stamp mill was erected on the property some years ago. but the great amount of copper carried in the ores makes the bullion very low. A smelter would be the proper thing for tho working of these ores, and as there are other copper mines in that country, a large stack could be kept running right alOng.-Mohavc Miner.
 Wallapai Clark spent a day here with old acquaintances of late. He is de- veloping his copper properties at Table Mountain and has a splendid showing of ore. With the advent of the railroad along the San Pedro his claims will be close to transportation, which will make them very valuable. He Is in high spirits and expects to have a well filled wallet in the near future by plac- ing this splendid group of claims with moneyed people.
