 Much Ado About Nothing. The two Austrisns who had jury trial last week. after n little hand Co hand tussle, which was no worse than \ little boys fight. and in which neith; CT got a scratch. were acquitted. The trial lasted the better part of two days, and took away merchants from their business, whose places in some Instances had to be closed.
 Progress at the Harold Group. The Journal Miner correspondent paid visit to the promising Harold group. on Sunday. This property is situated northwest of the United Verde mine, in fact it is just on the other side of the big mountain from which the Unit. ed Verde mine Is taking out great quan. titles of valuable ore. There are ten claims in this group on several of which considerable work has been done. All of this is tunnel work. The first tunnel entered Is on the southern part of the claims, and runs into the mountain to distance of about 200 feet. After going into the hill n dis. tancc of 130 feet, there nre two cross. cuts. one running near north and
 'u'h. Tn the north crosscut there arc The showlngs of copper. An assay of sulphide ore taken from nc,r the mouth of this cut run 5l per cent copper. This runs in n distance of about 50 feet. all showing more or less copper in different forms. The sonth tunnel has also scmc go'd showing. Thr trend If tie rock all tbrm.h ths tunnei and er..sscu, shows good copper ind:eNtions.
 The second tunnel is about 7O0 feet north of Inc first, and Is n ut ana runs into the mountain to a distance of -so feet From ore on the dump, one would readily see that this is a gold proposition. as Is seen from the forma. ,ion, most of which is slate and shale. This tunnel Is as straight as an arrow. There are encountered in this distance three stringers, the larger one being about ! feet wide, and is in about 200 feet. The others are smaller, but all run well in gold. The breast of the funnel is in slate and shale. This pro. pcrty Is now under bond to eastern parties who will no doubt open 1t up in The shape, and if they should fail, there pro others standing ready to take ad. vantage of this fine property. It i. in 1 such close proximity Co the United Verde mine that it will not long be oy. erlooked ny capitalists. who are each day becoming more enlightened as tc the mineral wealth of this district. which brings greater wealth to the in. vestor, a' we'll as opening up anothe, large producer of precious metals. Tho owner of these claims is ]. C. Scott, and he has strong faith in their future as wealth producers.
