 Paradise is becoming quite a burg.
 which is not to be wondered at when
 the desire of most people to go to a
 place of that name is taken into con.
 sideration. Messrs Jack Mcclellan.
 Jim Williams and Ec Forest have been
 embellishing the city by putting up
 houses. The Doran brothers have
 built cabin on their Ripper property. Bill Saunders has bought the mail con tract from Albert Hook, and is now

 O. c. Davis is coing some work on his Murray Camp copper mines. He has some very promising prospects, some assays running as high as 57 per cent copper. and considerable silver.
 Adjoining the Davis group l.. H. Scanlon has what is known as the Horace group, consisting of some eight or ten claims. The Horace mine has the deepest workings of any mine in that section of the camp. The shaft. which is down eighty feet, shows vel low pyrites and bornite all over the bottom. Some very good ore was shipped from this mine several years ago, which netted the owner quite a neat sum. Chicago people are trying 10 get control of this property, but with what success I cannot state. Messrs. Kesler. La Rue and Lavery are doing their work in the Santa Rita and win not come back un- til the assessment for this year is completed. When they return they Will proceed to sink a shaft on the Tucson claim. They shipped a car load of silver-lead ore from this mine last summer, the last ore which they took out being considerably richer than anything they got on the surface, the last assay showing 131 ounces sil- yer and 68 per cent lead. The wagon road which the supervisors of the county have been petitioned to build will pass less than fifty feet from where this ore was taken out Mr. E. J. Hands was seen the other day on his return from Tombstone, where he had been to attend the first meeting of NS SePNA 'Aooio uclQ tulS year dDC 10 present the petition for the road in person. NIT. Hands stated that enc or the members bitterly opposed the petition without being able to give any plausible reason for so doing, especial iy when it was shown that the build ing Of the road was a public necessity and that 1t was endorsed by the best citizens and largest taxpayers all over the county. He, however, succeeded in getting road district formed and an overseer appointed, the latter being Victor Aru. At the second meeting at which Mir. Hands was present. he took with him the county surveyor, who knew the conditions existing in the mountains, and who endorsed the building of the road. The chairman Of the board, J. J. Bowen, and Wm.
