 The Alto Gold Mining company |, pushing the work of blocking out orc In It's promising Paymaster mine ir Eugenia gulch. This is one of the best properties in the gulch, aud everything goes to show that it will be one of the prominent mines of the Bigbug district in a few months. Both sinking and drifting are in pro. gress, and the shaft has already passed a depth of 250 feet. Two drifts run north and south from the station at the POO foot level, each about 60 feet. These drifts are being rapidly heightened to get under the large bodies of ore discovered at the uppe: level. Good ore Is encountered all the way along in both shaft and drifts.-PreSoott Courier.
 The sale of the Mcguire mines is now assured, although the eastern in- vestors are having the work of the ex- pert, 0. J. Stone, checked up. It is stated that so far the mine has stood up under all the tests made and that the drift now being driven ahead from the breast of the big cut is showing great values. The purchas- CTS intend to pu, in large reduction plant as soon as the payments have been made and believe they have water sufficient for all purposes This mine is in position to be handled with less expense than any mine in the territory, while it's ores are absolutely free milling. Hun dreds of thousands of tons ot ore can be quarried bsfore mining has to be done, the bodies lying up a steep butte to height of fully two hun dred feet aud having width of three hundred eet.-Kingman Miner.
 The Prescott Herald is informed that the Rosalie group of mines, be. longing to the Barthady boys, Wm. Nellis, Joe Zsnner and others, had been bonded to MT. II. B Herr, a mining engineer Of New York. The Rosalie group lies to the south Of Mayer, perhaps twenty-five miles. The group embraces eight full claims, and has been worked from time to time for the past three years, accord. ing to the means of the owners. The work has developed great deal of fine ore, although not done at the proper places on the lodges. At va
 
 shafts have been sunk to show up the bodies or ore existing beneath the surface. Iu every one Of the shafts good ore is showing, while various piles of rich ore mark the spots where the work has been done.
 The Gold Road company has in con temptation many importannt improve. msnts for the betterm ,nt of it's mill ing plant. One of these is the change from dry to wet milling. Already water sufficient for this purpose has been developed near Little Meadows and by the converging of the many springs in the canyon south of Little Meadows and the establishment of a large pumping plant at that point all the water will be forced over the mountain. As soon as the pipe lines have been laid 1t IS the intention ot the company to also pump the oil which is used as fuel, over the noun tain, thus obviating the heavy noun. tain haul. When these improvements have been made the company intends to install amalgamators in the mill for the purpose of taking up the heavy gold before the pulp goes to the cyanide tanks. In this greater say. ing of values will be effected. king man Miner.
 The geology and ore deposits of the Bisbee q ladrangle, Ariz )na, have been described by Frederick Leslie R Rinsome in recent publication of the United States geological survey listed as Professional Paper NJ. 2l." Wha, Mir. Rinsome has to say about the values of the ore and ths future of the district is especially interesting. As development progresses, 1t has been found economical to reduce ores of lower grade. The first ore worked in the Coppsr Qnsen mine averaged 9 per cent copper, but the present aver age is about per cent, the range be.
