MINOR MENTION OF THE MAN IN
 OVERALLS.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Thee French Lily claim near Turkey is being operated by D. E. \. Jen- kins with a small force of men. The ore that is being taken out will be sacked and stored. until either the Rigby or the Arizona Smelling Com pany (the Val Verde) are ready to re- ceive it. The Lily belongs to Mayer and Davis, and is rated as one of the best properties in that section.
 On the platform at Turkey there are over 40 tons of ore from the Silver Chord mine, waiting for treatment at either the Arizona Smelling plant or the Rigby. This property is rated as excellent, and is owned by Sheriff Lowry and Jesse Robeson. The batch of ore that is stored is certainly good.
 Judge H. Brooks of Prescott has given lease to Edgar and Henry on claim near the Silver Chord. and the lessees are taking out ore and .piling it up for treatment in the future. They are very enthusiastic over what they are developing.
 Silver City, \. M., people have in- corporated a company, and taken over the New Idea group of mines, owned by James Childers. They are pre- pairing to go to work. The property is rated as among the best in that section of the Black Canyon.
 s. A. Parker, who recently disposed of the Pickaway group of claims, has used the proceeds of the sale by erect ing on Turkey creek a new and up-to- date five stamp mill, and will com mence soon to drop stamps on ores from several of his gold claims in that section. He has several hundreds of tons of ore ready.
 The Crazy Basin Mining Company on Turkey creek is preparing to start work on an extensive scale. It has a group of five gold claims and feels someywhat enthusiastic over the show ing.
 Mining activity, or for that matter a knowledge of the industry, should not be confined strictly to the male sex, for in the Black Canyon dis trict there is a little woman who knows practically as much about the dips, spurs, and angles of the calling as any man we have ever met. This is Mrs. Jennie E. Clark. She can talk about the formation, and the beauty of it all is, she knows ores from A to z in character, and is a good guesser also when it comes to sizing them up for values. She has somewhat of a monopoly in ownership of ground, hold ing a group of ten, and of which she feels very enthusiastic Furthermore she knows how to operate, and is some- what outspOken as to the methods of developing a claim. She states that she has, of course, preference in one claim over the others. and has placed accordingly all the available money on that one, and feels elated over the show ing made. Her properties are rated as good. not by herself. but by those who have a wider range of knowing than could possibly be expected of a woman. Several investors have seen her possessions, and it is but reason able to believe that she will soon dis pose of them. But any purchaser will have to talk business to her. for she is confident what the future will prove, and will not tie them up for a song or a grub stake. She deserves to sue eeed.
 A rich strike is reported from the Black Hills section on the Colusa and Red Bluff claims, owned by s. Nor rison and his son, R. E. A sample cut from the ledge gives s2O in gold, 16 per cent in copper. and 6 ounces in silver to the ton. The properties lie near the Sherlock, and considerable ex- eitement has been oecasioned over the discovery. This ground is about six miles south of the United Verde.
