GOOD PROSPECTS OUT NEAR

Captain Lind Tells the News.
Herald About That P Om.
ising Country

J. w. Lind, an old time West
erner, was a pleasant visitor to this
Office Monday. He has some min
ing properties at Griffin, down on
the west end of the Harcuvar
mountains. He says that that is
the finest mining field that there is
in the Western Territories or States.
The formation in that country is
granite, porphry and schist, the
ore being in lime. There is ample
water that may be had by digging
Good wells are had at from forty to
fifty feet, and the water is good.
The mining claims there are
mostly copper and gold. bearing
propositions. Assays in copper run
as high as 81 per cent with values
of $1,000 in gold. and gold values
as high as $62. The workings in
his vicinity are extremely prim-
tive. In fact, he is in a virgin
field for the prospector. There are
stretches of miles of mineralized
country that must contain some
fine propositions if the daring and
Drawn of the prospector will open
them up. And it can not be long
before such will be the case.
Camp Griffin is surrounded by
other properties, bat at various dis
tances. He is twenty-nine miles
north of the Socorro mine and
thirty-fve miles from the old Bo-
nanza mine on the south and forty
miles from the King of Arizona on
the east, and thirty miles from the
Bill Williams fork on the north.
There are numerous prospects
nearer, but these are the nearest
producers. This, then, is another
virgin field of the great Arizona.
desert country, which will one day
be dotted by towns and cities and
the never ending stiffness will be
broken by the hum Of busy ma

Serious Accident

James Reese, manager of the
Congress Gold Company's boarding
house, was badly hurt in q turn
over. The report goes that he and
another party were going out to in
spect some mining properties near
Octave, when the horses suddenly
took fright and turned the rig over
on the rocks, bruising both Mr..
Reese and his companion considera
bly,. We understand that the other
gentleman was not SO seriously in
jured as to keep him work the next
day. Mr.. Reese's many friends
hope to soon see him around again
and that he may not be caught in
similar jack pot any more.

Cettin' Ready to Git

Ourjolly blacksmith, Augustus
Hoppe, has just sold about ten
thousand pounds of iron to the
Congress Gold Co. Mr.. Hoppe
came here nine years ago and pur-
chased the blacksmith business for
hundred dollars. Since then he
has built up a good business and
has made money-is still making
money. Mr.. Hoppe is a fine me-
chanic and wants to get into a spe-
cial line of work in large city so
that he can take life more easy, and
for that reason he is willing to dis
pose of his business here at very
reasonable figure. He is selling off
his superhuous stock, so that some
one with a reasonable amount of
capital can handle the proposition.
Here is an exceptionally fine open
ing for some young mechanic OF
ability.

Way In Which He Tested tho Strength
OF His Muste.


LORD Pa!merston died at his post
two days before he was 81, his facul-
ties undimmed and his physical
strength little affected by his advanced
age. A hidden witness has recorded
a touching anecdote: A fortnight be-
fore his death he saw the old states
man come out of his London house
early one morning look around to as
sure himself that he was alone, then
climb over the area railing around his
house. and back again to test the
strength of his muscles.
Even when he felt himself failing
he always assumed cheerful manner
in his wife's presence, lest she should
be anxious about him, and, indeed,
both husband and wife Wed with one
another in their consideration ard care
for the feelings of others. Four years
were to pass before the faithful wife,
who lived to be 81 followed her hus-
band to the grave. and those who pass
to the abbey service up the north
