FINAL COUNTY MINES.

The Troy mine has been closed down temporarily. pending a reorganization of the company. Work will be resum- ed there soon with a large force and with ample capital behind the com pany.
 A body of high grade ore was uncov- cred in the $50 foot level of the Mo- hawk mine at Schultz last week. This ore is contained in a blind lead and was an unexpected find. The discOv- cry doubles the value of the property.
 The Gibson brothers, who are devel- oping the Swartz copper property un- der a working bond, are opening a bO- nanza. They sunk a shaft to a depth of 120 feet. at which point they struck very strong flow of water. They con cluded to open a level at this point before installing a pump, so they came up about six feet from the bottom of the shaft, to leave a stump and started a drift south on the vein. A few feet brought them to an ore shoot. and we are informed by a gentleman who wis tied the property a few days since that the drift has now penetrated this ore shoot a distance of ten feet and that the entire ten feet is in high grade shipping ore. On the fOotwalI side is an 1S-inch streak of solid red oxide of copper that samples 45 per cent The drift will be driven on to determine the length of this ore shoot. There was ore in the shaft all the way down to the bottom, but it was not so high grade as that encountered in the drift. The boys will commence shipping soon. They have two carloads ready for ship meut now. This property lies at the mouth of Cottonwood canyon, about two miles north of the Alma mining camp. in Mineral Hill district and about IS miles northeast of Florence. Florence Blade.

STRIKE
 IN THE GOLD KING
The Second Find Since the Property
 Changed Hands Recently.

Another strike of more than ordinary importance, and the second made with in ten weeks, was reported from the Gold King group of mines, in the Brad shaw mountains, when Joe Mayer, su- perintendent of the property. arrived in Prescott, bringing with him several samples of the new find says the Jour nal Miner.
 The discovery was made in the face of a tunnel being run on the vein about 120 feet from the mouth and about 400 feet in depth from the apex of the ledge Since then the tunnel has been continued a distance of 10 feet, where the new paystreak shows four feet in width sampling from p to 25 per cent in copper, $27 in gold, and $40 in silver to the ton.
 In addition to this tunnel the vein is exposed by several shallow shafts. and a crosscut tunnel is being run into the mountain. which is now in distance of 575 feet from its crOppings on the surface of the mountain. Thirteen men are now at work, and the force will be increased to sixty as soon as accom- mOdations are provided.
 The principal stockholders of the Gold King Mining company are Ohio capitalists. who purchased the prop critics about ten weeks ago from attOr- ney R. Nj. Ling. of this city. and J. C. Martin, former editor of the Journal Miner, and now a resident of Los An geles. Two days after the transfer was made a strike of very rich ore was made in the tunnel, which aroused the new owners to the necessity of a more extensive plan of development which has recently beer perfected, and which includes the installation of an air com pressor at the crosscut tunnel which is now under way. the building of a tramway to switchback No. s on the

There was a big sensation in mining circles yesterday morning when it was noised abroad that Thomas F. Cole had closed for the Cananea & Duluth prop critics says the Douglas Dispatch of the 22d inst. News of the big deal seems to have reached Minnesota before Douglas buyers were wise and the Du- luth people were able to buy in blocks of a thousand shares.
 The Cananea & Duluth property is just one mile from the Cananea post office. It adjoins the CObre Grande, Greens greatest producers and the American in which great strikes have been made. It could not be in a rich
 Cole has also purchased the Amer ican mine from Lindsay.
 In his market letter yesterday J. O. Martin suggests that the buying pub lie is highly elated over the fact that the C. & A people are going into the great camp at Cananea. His letter says:
 Cananea & Duluth has gone over to the C. & A. interests, Thomas F. Cole buying in the property yesterday. The stock has advanced to $5 Is, thus nearly doubling the price of a few days ago. Duluth parties are buying very heavily at the advanced price of $51s, orders being placed in one thousand share lots all the morning for this stock. The people of Cananea are high ly elated over the idea of the C. & A people buying in Cananea.

MERCURIAL FRENCH.

That Captain Dreyfus was one day to become popular hero would have seemed nonsense seven years ago. par ticularly to those Americans who han pened to be in France in the over wrought days during and just following the Rennes court-marshal. But that he is already hero is the report. and Knowledge of the mercuriaI character of the French populace strongly sup ports it. And, as for Emile Zola, who was refused admission to the academy. his body is now being transferred to the great Pantheon, where Victor Hugo lies! Doubtless there will be q great procession attending the body and the fortunate students of the Latin quarter whose room face on the line of march close to the Pantheon will rent their windows for the day for enough to pay their landlords for a year-their land lords for year or the cafes of the quarter for a day-as they did when President Carnot was assassinated and his body was borne to the Pantheon in state.

GOOD TENNIS COURTS.

If the Normal does not support the best tennis courts in the territory next season it will be no fault of those who are working on their preparation at the present time. Several experiments are being made with a view to finding out just what will make the best bottom" and most substantial court. On one of the courts a layer of clay was first evenly spread which was followed by a coat of crude oil This was allowed to soak in and another coating of oil was applied, a little more clay was added and a finishing coat of oil put on. It is thought that after this is thorough ly packed the court will be in splen- did shape. Time will tell but in order to test the clay courts without the oil. another court will be prepared with the clay alone, but next season they should be better than ever.

THE GREAT REPUBLIC.
Preparations For Extensive Develop
 ment of a Large Property.

"The company's finances are now in better shape than ever" said President J. M. Sullivan of the Great Republic to the Prescott Journal Miner. "We have now associated with us men of unlimited wealth who are thoroughly cognizant of the fact that it takes time and capital to properly develop a cop per mine, and they have subscribed the necessary finances to continue the work in a minerlike and scientific way.
 As soon as the new 15 horse power hoist is installed at the Sullivan shaft, the work of sinking it from the 200 to the 300 level will be at once com menced, and it is our purpose to start lateraIs and crosscuts at this point and continue to develop the vein there while the shaft will be pushed to greater depth.
 "The 700 foot shaft on the Columbia mine will be sunk to the 1000 foot level before any drifting and cross cutting is done from it. We expect to reach water level at any time, when it is believed a large ore body will be encountered, as the ore in the vein keeps getting richer and more solid as depth is reached, a peculiar feature being that wherever water is encoun- tered the high grade ores have been found"
 The companys holdings comprise 34 claims, which include a smelter site and water right, and cover network of porphyry and schist dikes, with a gossan capping for the entire width of the mineralized zone, and about three miles in length. This zone is the cen ter of a district surrounded by such well known mines of merit as the Pick away the Theising properties, the Par ker group, the Silver Chord, Hidden Treasure and a number of others.

THE EDDIE MINE.
The Work of Unwatering 1t Will Be-
 gin At Once.

Within one week from date another busy camp will be added to the many now in active operation in the Crook Canyon and Mount Union district, when the work of unwatering the Bodie mine will be commenced.
 This was learned by a JOurnal-M Miner man from c. C. Stukey, a well known mining man. who is superintendent of the property.
 The property is developed by a num- Der of shafts, the deepest of which has almost reached the 400 foot level, and from which over 1000 feet in laterals have been run. The water in these workings at the present time reaches within 40 feet of the surface. so that it is reasonable to expect that pump ing the water and the repairing of the openings will take some little time be- fore a large force of men can be en- ployed in continuing the development work
 Although no stoping was done on the property during its former operation, still there is large amount of ore on the dump which was taken from the sinking of the shaft, and the running of the drifts. carrying good values in gold as well as a high per cent in lead.
 The BOdie group of mines consists of 21 claims some of which are held under United States patent. The group is situated about three miles south of Palace station in the Crook canyon section which is considered among the richest mineral sections of the county.
