Walter Reese returned last night from Los Angeles, where he spent some time with his family. Ere he re- turned he determined to take peep into the new El Dorado, Goldfelds, and of it as new mining section he speaks words of great praise. At pres ent he says the best way to get in there is to go by way of Reno and Tonopah, thence by stage to Columbus. Beds are anywhere from $l for a cot to $5 for room furnished per night. Meals of the cOarSeSt kind are 75 cents each and not much choice in the viandS at that. Of it's prospects as a mining camp, he says it is destined to rival Cripple Creek. Imagine a scope of country from Prescott to Kirkland in length aud ten miles wide, all staked out, and you have an idea of it's area. In that section are tour well devel- oped mines and thousands of pros poets, some good some otherwise. As is the history in every new camp, many men are there in an impover- ished condition, Courier.

The Weeks Mining News as Re-

The Sheeptrail mill is being run on rich ore from new find on Sheeptrail mountain and ore from the Catherine mine, close to the mill. The new ore in the Catherine is reported to be very rich.
 T. R. Garnier, who has been devel- oping the Posidon mining claim, in the north end of the Wallapai mountains, is in Kngman. Mir. Garnier believes the property is one of the best pros- poets in that section and intends to do large amount of work on it this fall and winter Slmples of the ore run as high as 300 ounces silver and nearly $l0O in gold to the ton.
 Sheriff Henry LOvin, in Prescott last week, stated that the Gold Roads mlne is now shipping about $70, ,000 a month worth of gold to the San Francisco mint. Loyin at one time owned a large interest in this property. The Mossoack property is erecting large mill and is sinking it's shaft and driving tunnels with large force of men. The mine is located not far from Gold Roads. Other properties in Mohaye county are taking on new lease of life and are developing as fast as possible. There is general revival all over the county.
 Wednesday last shipment of 2200 pounds Of tungsten ore was broughtin in from the wolfram mines on the Big Sandy for shipment to the Primos Chemical company,et Clifton Station, Penn. The ore is from a number of veins in the AquariOus mountains and is the highest grade of the metal ever taken out of the territory. It is thought that product of 75 per cent tungstic acid will be shipped from the mines for some time to come. The ore lies in ore and mica schist, the metal lying in the scniSt being very rich. Several men are to be put to work on the mines during the next month and large shipments may be looked for.
 Few people in thls country are aware of the fact that the Colorado Fuel and Iron company is exploiting one of the greatest iron mines in the southwest, the situation of which is sixteen miles south of Seligman. The mines were located something over year ago by M. McBride and two prospectors. Quite little work in the shape of potholes was done on the mines and

What Wilson Says

Col. J. F, Wilson, Arizona's pres. ent delegate to congress, in a letter to a friend in this city who had written him on some department business in Washington, says:
 Let no democrat escape going to the polls at the coming election and casting his vote for Mark Smith, for our salvation depends on this terri tory going democratic this time. This time, above all others, it is necessary for the territory to go democratic by the largest majority ever cast. Joint statehood must be defeated, and dem. ocratic senators must do it..

samples of the ore shipped to various places for test. The average of the tests was nearly 70 per cent iron. SiA mon ths ago the Colorado Fuel and Iron company took an option on the prop. erty, paying 5000 therefor. Since that time a shaft 200 feet in depth has been sunk, and several other shafts were carried to depth of 59 to 70 feet. At the present time fifty men are at work and diamond drill is being used to exploit the ore body be- low the 200 feet level. The vein is more than 200 feet wide.

 Lem Shattuck returned yesterday from visit to Easter Sunday, where a good strike of ore was recently re- ported. Mir. Shattuck states that the importance of the strike of ore was in no manner exaggerated by the early reports. Assays of the ore that has been brought in run from $S5 to $365 to the ton in gold. The latter is found in crystalized quartz, unusual to this district. It is said that nothing of the kind has heretofore been found in the district.-Reyiew

II have learned that worlds fair visitors are taking more interest in the mineral resources of Arizona than any other western state or territory. One good feature Of this is the fact that those most in- tereSted are men who understand min ing and who are contemplating invest ing in mining property.

 Many urour readers will recognize the truth of the following, from an exchange: One of the common causes Of failure in mining is due to the pre- nature installation of milling plants. Instances are frequent where mills have been put up at mines before there waS ore enough developed to keep it in operation twelve hours, and sometimes before work enough had been done to prove that mine exist. cd anywhere near the mil site. h. credible as it may seem, there is hard ly a mining district on tho coast but has rusted monuments of folly of that sort The opinion of q capable min ing engineer is absolutely necessary before proceeding with the work of development, and the services of a me,allurgist are indispensable when ihe tune for ore treatment arrives"
