 Mr Gorhan1. a mining man and capitalist of New York city, arrived last week to examine a group of fourteen gold claims near the Rock House on Chase creek, adjoining the claims from which Alien & Hill are taking out such rich ore.

 There is no denying the fact that the mining industry in the Clifton district is on the verge of a boom. N,,vip-, tho rac- -raalr thraa daa1S pf 'ome importance have been closed, md several others are on the tapis. 70 far as new deals and the inaugura- ion of new companies were con :erned, there has been practically lothing doing in this district for the 'ast two years or more, but recently here has been much enquiry con :erning property in the district, and | now appears that capital is again leading this way.

And after all, there is no part of Mexico that has shown such marked advancement as Arizona during the past few years.

Thoy now have 1000 sacks of ore ready for shipment in which free gold caR be seen in every specimen, and the en- tire lot will average eight ounces in gold per ton. They have another lead on their claims which averages e5 per cent lead, sSe gold and from co to 30 ounces in silver. This may sound like fairy tale to people who are not aware Of the fact that during the early history of the camp gold was about the only output. The ore which is now being taken out by them is DO surprise to old timers. but it w.l be to others. Were these claims located at Goldfeids or Bull. frog there would be a tremendous' over them, and property in the Deighborhood would be selling for fabulous prices, but in this dis trict their work passes without com ment. but when they once commence to ship and outsiders begin to realize
