 M. R. Parker returned last nigh
 from business trip and visit to hi
 old home in Athens, Ohio. Mir. Par
 ker is operating some of the mos
 promising looking mining properties
 in the Big Bug section. He has just recently installed a lot of new ma, chinery on the Palo Alto group oi seven claims in Eugene gulch and ex
 poets to push development work witf all possible speed from now on. MT. Parker has been developing this prop. erty on his own capital for the past six years but reached that point where it took big stock of money to in stall necessary machinery and has in- corporated with few gentlemen from his old home, among the number be- ing a brother, and they have now se- cured the necessary machinery, have it all in place and are ready for busi- ness.
 D. J. Sullivan received a telegram from Chicago today authorizing him to put number of men to work at once on the properties of the United Gold Mipes company's property near SOAAklCoS- HIS AtANEauAAA 10 AAlC OuI- come of trip Mir Sullivan made to the properties some ten days ago when he found everything is such fine shape and looking so we'll that he recOm- mended a force of men be put to work at once and without even waiting to answer his letter by mail they tele- graphed to go to work. The property of this company is composed of the Ohio, Alaska and New York groups, near the great Congress mine, and consist of ten claims all told. Over 20O0 feet of work has already been done on them and the showing is splendid. Mir. Sullivan succeeded in interesting capitalists Tn the properties during his recent visit to Chicago, and without even coming to examine the mines they have now given him authority to proceed with the work of developing them into the great prop critics they give every evidence of being.
 W. H. Lester was in from his placer properties on the Hassayampa yester- day and informed the Journal Miner that he would be ready to start up his patent washer in few days. The storm has delayed him some. and for several days he was sick but both of these drawbacks have been about overcome and he will be taking out the yellow metal very shortly and he hopes in large quantities. Mir. Lester has a washer that he has been work ing on for several years and which he believes will prove a great success. He says there is an abundance of water in the Hassayampa river and feels sure that the supply will be sutfi- cient for the entire summers work, as result of which there will be thousands of dollars taken out along that stream.
 Work is expected to start within a few days on the Monte-Verde Mining company's property. known as the Vermonter group, just as soon as the snow is off the ground sufficiently to allow for the necessary preparations. The snow is reported to be two feet deep yet in the mountains in the neighborhood of Mt Union only eight or nine miles from town.

 F. W. Howard of the Bisbee-Ari- | zona Gold and Copper company has i received some very fine specimens of l ore from the cOmpany's property near | Bisbee. One of them is very unique | specimen, such as is rarely seen. It l is a piece of hematite of iron with | gold and native copper sticking out | all through it. There is a large out | cropping of this hematite of iron on the company's property. which from surface indications seems to be a con- mon center for large number of | well defined veins. This specimen | was obtained from near the surface in | this Outcropping. Another sample | was a carbonate ore very rich in cop | per and containing a good percentage | in gold. The property is located near Bisbee, and surface indications as | we'll as indications under ground as far as development has progressed are | all favorable for big mine.
