WILL SOON BE RUNNING
The Hill That Will Make a Boom for
 Wickenburg District.

We are informed that the Gro Grade mine will have it's 5-stamD mill finished next week, and will start it up about the 18th, says the News Her aid. A mill man of experience has been employed in the east and will arrive in Wickenburg in time to see that the mill is started off on the right foot.
 It will not be long before this fa- nous property will be in operation on big scale and there will be hustle and boom in that camp. Local mining men are anxiously waiting to find what the result will be. Nearly all are well satisfied that it will be a success. And if such is the case. it will do more for Wickenburg district than anything that can happen to it. There are many other good mines, which will in their turn boom the district, but none so near as the Gro Grande and none so near ready for work.

about 1000 feet of work on them. There are no stronger or better defined veins in this country than are those upon which these claims are located. In fact they are phenomenal in this re- spect. The surface ores of these veins are low-grade. but the magnitude of the or chutes exposed will enable the owner to extract the ore at a profit The contained metallic values are lead, silver, gold and copper.
 Work will be commenced on the property at once and a five thousand pound sample, made up from smaller samples taken from the entire group of eleven claims, will be shipped and tested to determine the most success full process for the treatment of the ore. As soon as this test can be made a reduction plant will be installed and a sufficient force of miners will be put on at the several claims to keep the plant supplied with ore. There is enough ore in sight now to keep a large-sized plant in operation for many years.
 Jake Farguund made rich gold discovery about one mile south of Buttes Monday. He was following a line of contact between porphyry and granite and discovered a small outcrop of quartz. He stuck his pick into the latter and turned over piece of quartz liberally sprinkled with virgin gold. Further work revealed a blind lead" which yields specimens very rich in the yellow metal. Some of them will probably assay as high as five hundred dollars gold per ton. It is certainly very encouraging find, but not suffi- cient work has been done yet to de- termine the real extent and value of the find.
 William Ormsby has located some very large Quartz-filled veins, in the vicinity of Walnut Grove, twenty miles northeast of Florence. The quartz car ries gold, copper and silver, on the sur face, in fair percentage. He discover ed these veins in the early days, when the Apaches were still lurking in the hills around Walnut springs, and could not develop them at that time. He had not returned to them since those early days till last week, and found some of his old tools just where he left them in the old works. The handles of the. shovels and picks had routed and fallen to pieces.
 Prospector Gordon says that his gold prospects make a better showing with every foot done on them. His camp is located about one mile south of the Buttes and about F miles east of Flor ence. He has opened a spring on one

QUARTZSITE DISTRICT.

Bids Fair to Become One of the Most
 Famous in Arizona.
 F. B. Moore, a prominent mining man of QuartZsite was in to see us yes terday morning. He has been on a trip to his old home in Missouri. He says that the Quartzsite country is all right. There are about a dozen big mining companies or erating mines in that vii cinity. and each one of them is figur- ing on doing something in the near future. O. A. Pease, one of the biggest promoters of that section. will soon erect 200-ton mill on his property at Chollos. If all of the companies that have promising properties go to work Quartzsite will soon be the county seat of Yuma county. It will be refreshing if such a thing should happen. for the town of Yuma has been so long un- disturbed by any rival towns that she has come to think that she has a cinch on things generally. in spite of the fact that she is practically located in California. The new railroad that is sure to go through the Quartzsite coun- try next year will be an eyeopener to seaport town in the way Of opening up rival cities. There is no good reason why Quartzsite or some other central point. should not make a big town when the railroad is built NeWS-Herald.

WICKENBURG MINING NOTES.

Dr. E. J. Perry and son, Ted" left for Denver last week. They are inter- ested in mining property near Wicken- burg. Ted" has been here for the past several months and looked after interests here. Dr. Perry came out recently to see how matters at the mine are progressing. Their property, the Profuson group, is in charge of Oscar Jennings, who has a contract to do considerable work on the property during the coming winter
 F. x. O'Brien, manager of the h. terior Mining and Trust company s property, has a force of about forty men at work and two shafts are being made for the operation of a 10-stamp mill. It is said that as soon as con- ditions justify it, more stamps will be added.
 Good reports keep coming in from pushed on the 100-foot and 150-foot levels and good ore is being taken out. A rich body of gold ore has been en- countered on the new drifts that will run about $40 per ton.

nARICOPA COUNTY MINES
A Golden Opportunity to Direct Att
 tention This Way.

Mining is not a leading industry in Maricopa county and to speak truth fully there isn't a producing mine in the county. Rather there isn't divi- dend paying mine in the county though there are several from which good ore is being taken. But there are at least a score of properties that are well along with development work, wanting only further expenditure to make them good mines. And there are numerous prospects that warrant further inves- tigation and more development before it can be said they are not mines.
 Mining has brought more outside capital into the country than any other industry and that more of it has not come to Maricopa county is very large ly the fault of her own people who are entirely too modest in this matter There are three of four promising prospects in the Salt river range south of the river and at least one, the Gold Coin, is now pretty well developed. But home people say they are too close to town to be big mines. There are good prospects in the eastern part of the county but home people are afraid of them because the Bonanza at Gold field shut down, forgetting all the time that a fortune was first taken out of it. There are some fine prospects in the White Tanks and one or two mines from which the ore has been milled to some extent. hut home people overlook them because they require the hauling of water for a few miles. There are two or three well proved mines and dozens of fine prospects in the Cave Creek district, but home peo- pie say they can't amount to anything because they are 15 to 30 miles from the railroad. The Relief mine north of Glendale is thoroughly developed and wants only a reduction plant to make it a producer, but it takes two CT three hours ride to get out there so people refuse to enthuse over it. All that is left then. when the average man speaks of the mines in this county. is the Wickenburg district. That's on the railroad but people say wait till the Gro Grande starts up" or Why isn't the Vuture being operated?"

THE DIAMOND DRILL
What the Junction People Are Doing
 With It Near Bisbee.

The diamond drill on the Junction was pulled up last monday and is now being installed at a point about 100 feet from Mrs. Humphreys boarding and lodging house in Lowell. Various and peculiar are the opinions of the average citizen in regard to the prob able result of the operations just sus- pended, says the Bisbee Review. Some imagine they have failed to find any thing and are fishing for new waters. A ma jority, however, are inclined to the conclusion that they found what they wanted and are after testing it's extent. This is he more logical con- clusion, since the operations had only reached a depth of about 500 feet, whereas the uniform system of the Calumet people is to go 1.500 feet, or to eternity but what they strike it. As matter they never have quit sink operations in this camp till they did strike it, regardless of depth. It is, therefore. a safe conclusion that they found what they were after, and pro- pose to explore the whole field. In boring operations, of course. the man. agement has the whole thing in their hands. The public can only judge from gene'al features the measure of x newspaper reports in regard to strikes in this class of work are subject to a 90 per cent. allowance on their face.
 A later report in the Review says: The Junction Development company has practically. made good all that has been propf1esied regarding it, by strik- ing ore in the big four-compartment shaft at a depth of 14o feet. This was done on Thrrsday night, October 1st, and the diamond drill outfit was at once moved from it's former location to one directly in line with the shaft, so as to determine the trend of the formation at the point nearest to the Sacramento Hill and the producing properties.
 The Junction miners had been ham mering away in the dark red con- glomerate which showed in the shaft shortly after leaving the surface and which has continued until the past few days. Little change had been noted and but little in the way of ore intii- cations had been met. but during the past fifteen feet a most pronounced change has come in. First, the con- glomerate became less f1inty and after little traces of limestone could be seen with iron stains here and tn ere. Later the limestone became more pro- nounced and tale, so often presaging the near approach of ore bodies, put in it's appearance. Now the copper stains started to streak the ledge mat ter in an agreed ble way and iron py- rites were met with. The ground now much softer had become much lOoser and finally the discharge of a blast threw out large quantities of the finest of cooper glare ore.

A COUNTRY BARTER.

From one of the smaller cottages at the end of the street came a bare footed child in a colorless calico dress and slat sunbonnet. With the impor- tant air of a heavy buyer she entered the village store and handed across the counter a blue teacup. The pro- prietor took the teacup and said in brisk tones:
 Well, Emmy, what does your ms want today?"
 "Please. sir, ma wants an eggs worth of molasses," and she carefully placed a large white egg on the coun- ter.
 The storekeeper poured out a little molasses into the cup from a stone jug and set the cup before his cHs toner.

THE THIRTEENTH MAN.
And He is tke Only One Alive to Tell
 the Story.

'1 don't believe in the popular su- perstition about the number thirteen" said Major Kenderdine. T was the thirteenth field officer oi my regiment, and I am the only one alive today. The loss during the Vicksburg campaign was something awful. I can illustrate it best from my own regiment. When we crossed the river at Fort Gibson on May 1, we numbered 800 men carrying rifles. When Vicksburg surrendered on July our total strength, officers and men, was 107. In one charge, at the battle of Jackson. where the tim types saved my life, out nf total force of thirty-seven men, my company lost five killed and eleven wounded in one charge
 MT. Kenderdine is now prosperous Kansas farmer. He, with his wife. has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. W. T. McKerney, of this city, for the past few days. They also visited at Pella and Centervi,le, at both of which places Major Kenderdine enjoyed meet ing with old comrades of his regiment, some of whom he had not seen since his regiment was mustered out. Mir. and Mrs. Kenderdine returned to their home in Kansas on Friday night.
 ''We have had a good year in Kan sas," said MT. Kenderdine, in discuss ing the crop outlook. '"The corn, while trif1e backward is not merely so much sc as in Iowa, and we had a bumper wheat crop. while the pastures are in the best of condition. n.''-Iowa State Register.
