THE MINING FIELD
A MONSTER BOILER.

The first one of the four big boilers for the Tombstone Consolidate Mines company has arrived in Tombstone. The Prospector says thirty-two ami mals were necessary to transport this huge boiler from the railroad-a dis tance of nine miles-to it's destination, and several days were consumed in the task. Although its weight is known to be 45,000 pounds, one cannot conceive of it's immensity until in near proximi. v. Its length is IS feet and measures 12 feet through and there are some eighty odd flues.
 Its arrival attracted general atten- ton in the camp; the advent of it's ar rival is hailed with delight, as the ia- stallation of such ponderous machinery augurs much for the future of Tomb stone and lends assurance that the camp is to be rehabilitated and the scenes of years ago reenacted. This is not the first arrival of machinery, however, as pumps and other necessa- " equipments have been arriving al most daily for the past two months: and the shipments are nearly complete yet as several weeks will have passed before all the machinery now at the depot arrives here.
 Three large boilers are yet due to arrive. but those having there removal in charge do no anticipate the trouble experienced with the one just arrived.
 Yesterday Judge Sanford took ride out to his Century mine. about eight miles south of Prescott. The shaft is not over 50 feet from the Groom creek road. The shaft is now down loo feet: ore was encountered al a depth of 70 feet. The vein is three feet wide and assays sl per ton.-Prescott Courier.

 George Hamlin well known min ing man. who is identified with the Wickenburs country, was in Prescott Saturday He told the Journal-Miner that there is a great deal of activity in that country, and from the characte~ of development work going on, and the capital being expended. that sec tion is a desirable center. Wicker burg particularly is a lively little town. and the erection Of the smelter Is under progress that gives it regar:i. The Orc Grande people have en route an s0-stamp mill. and grading the foun- dation for the plant is about completed
 ais mill will be one of the largest in northern Arizona, and rom is capacity some idea can be had of the output of that mine The Orc Grande is said to be showing up well. and will be a great producer of the future.
 Ben Bound. who arrived in Tucson from Sonora, brings news of another big mining deal that was closed ir that section a few days ago. The property belonged to himself and five others It was disposed of to num- Der of eastern capitalists for the sum of $90.000. The group is located southeast O1 the tdOdUedS. neal d sto- ton called Emaris. It is a gold and silver proposition. The surface show ings are wonderful. and considerable work has been done on the property. The new owners will start extensive development at once.-CitiZen.
 Dan Hampton, from the Worlds Fair mine. where he has just finished con- tract for sinking a seventy-foot winle on the famous Worlds Fair mine, is in Tucson. Mir. Hampton says that when the contract was completed Frank Powers accepted the work without measuring the distance, taking th-. miners word for it This act was char acteristic of the popular owner of the big silver mine near Harshaw.
 There are now on file at the survey or generals office applications for the survey of 250 mineral claims in Arizo- na as against one-third that number two months ago.
 Under a recent ruling of the Treas ury Department bonded ores received from Mexico at smelters can be mixed with domestic ores for the purpose Of blending.
