S. Lake, or Cochise CoSnty, Visits Clifton.
 Commencing about the first of March the Standari Copper mines resumed shipments to the Shannon smelter and are now sending down an average of 100 tons weekly. The mines are said to be in shape to keep up these shipments for some consid- erable time.
 Owing te the heavy rains and the lsoft condition of the ground in the f big tunnel of the Chase creek cop per company. Manager Stevens mas recently found it necessary to com imence timbering. Mir Stevens is well pleased with the face of the tunnel at the present time.

 S. c. Lake. who was formerly in charge of the Black Diamond compa- my in Cochise county, is spending 8 few days in Clifton While he was in charge of the property he made it Ipay expenses and was also develop ing it. but the eastern stockholders were not satisfied. so they sent out man from Ohio, who had never seen a mine. to take charge of the prop erty. His first act was to reduce wages. and then all the best men left the camp. Tn one year he ran behind ahout s50,OOO. and the com pany is now in court. The company wants to settle its indebtedness at fifty cents on the dollar. but the creditors will not stand for it.
 l Dick Lakenan was in from his camp at his gold property this week, land gives glowing description of the results of his development work during the past month. In driving his tunnel he encountered a vein of l rich ore about six feet thick. and running higher in value than he has ever encountered. The mine is in creasing in value with every addi- tional development and those who predicted for Mir Lakenan that the mine would eventually peter out. are now the first to concede that they were mistaken. A new car with which to haul the ore has been placed in position, and the dump is being Increased with good material which will in the near future be source of Considerable revenue to the owner. lOnly ore that runs over s100 is being saved all the rest being placed on the ldump. Indications are that the mine will eventually run into copper, and Tiff it does there is no doubt but that lit will prove to be one of the richest lin the district In the meantime, IDick is making money and besides developing his property, is laying la few dollars for future emergen- lcies.-Morenci Leader.

 From present indications Goldfields. Nevada, is having a regular old time mining rush. The camp has more than five thousand population, and people are pouring in by the hundreds. iThe big rush has not yet really com lmenced, as it is estimated that east Tern railroads will sell thirty thousand tickets to Goldfields during the early weeks of spring. These people are Igoing to a camp which at best will
 employ but a few hundred men
 Many of them will land broke and
 most of them will want work, and
 as a consequence there will be great
 suffering among them. They are go ling to a country in which there is absolutely no demand for labor, and where living expenses are high
 To get out Of the country they vii be compelled to walk hundreds o miles through a desert, and many c them will not survive the effort . People who want to prospect wOulJ
 do better to come to Arizona, where
 there is plenty of water and timber
 and where the climate is favorable
 to outdoor life the year around f When a man goes broke in AriZons } he has DO trouble in finding employ ment There are more miners em Iployed in the Clifton-Morenci distric lthau in the entire state of Nevada
 and the same can be said of seveTa , lother camps in the Territory. As n general thing rich mines employ bu D flew people Arizona. especially thi Q year. offers more inducements to tn s iprospectcr than any other section O L. lthe west. She has had, and still ha: r fsome of the richest gold and silve 2 mines ever discovered. and her grea l. lcopper mines are the marvel and woF if lder of the world. As a mineral prt Q lducer she will soon take first plac .e lamong the states. Her vast mouI
 ltain ranges have been prospected il e differently. and there are yet thol 70 isands of good mines to be foun
