The Mossback group of mines, owned
by Charles Burlock, are located two
miles east of he old Moss mine, in the
San Francisco mining district. They
were originally located in 1863 and
afterward abandoned The main vein
of the group is fully two hundred feet
between walls at the widest swell of
the vein, while at the narrowest place
it is fifty feet. Samples from the two
hundred feet gave an average result OF
3 75S, while narrower streaks in the
vein run we'll up. Only the location
work has been done on the claims in
the group, but Mr.. Burlock is now in
town preparing to go out and do the
nual work for the year. The mines
are we'll and favorably situated for
economical working, being but eleven
miles from the Colorado river and
accessible by wagon. Water for camp
purposes can be had near the mines
aud wood necessary for all purposes
being easily obtainable. A mill site
has been located two miles above the
mines and water can be pip ed to the
claims from the spring on this site.
The veins are great outcrcps OF spar
and give good prospects in gold
wherever opened. No better prospects
for big mines are to be found In that
country and we predict that they will
open out into magnificent properties
under development.

The gr CUP of mining claims are con
sidered the richest in Yuma county

the main claim of the gronp has an ore
body 10 be face Of the drift from the
$50 foot level that measures eight feet

gold and thirty per cent copper. Free
gold can be seen sticking all through
the rock. A five-stamp mill was erect
ed on the property some years ago, but
the great amount of copper carried in
the ores makes the bullion very low.

has withdrawn his invitation extended
TO Senator Tillman Of South Carolina
10 attend the dinner 20 be given tonight

tempt of the senate. Senator Martin
of Virginia, a member of the committee
on naval affairs. has accepted an invi-
tatlon in Mr. Tlllmans place, The in

the ranking minority member OF the
naval affairs committee.
There was sensational sequel TO
the decision Of the president TO ellmln-
ATE Senator Tlllman from the list OF
dinner guests. The president sent Tor
senator Cockrell OF Missouri and asked
him as friend and Democratic coli
league of Mr.. TilIman to suggest to the
latter the propriety OF withdrawing
his acceptance OF the dinner invitation
The president explained his attitude IN
the matter and said that in view OF the
contempt proceedings, Mr. Humans
presence would not only be an enront
TO the senate but a dlscodrtesy to
Prince Henry. Mr. CoclSrell accepted
the commission and later telephoned to
the president that Mr.. Tillman abso-
mtelv refused to withdraw his accept
ance. in response to the presidents sug-
gestIon. The president Immediately
cancelled the invitation in u note he
dispatched directly to Mr.. Tlllman

which was very brief and formal the
president stated he regretted that he
was obliged to withdraw the invitation.
simultaneously, Senator Martin OF Vir-
ginIa was Invited TO take Mr.. Tlllman's

Democratic member OF the senate naval
afairs committee.
