 General Manager j. J. Shaw and par ty left on Tuesday for the Mazatzal l Copper Mining companys property, | where a ledge of high grade ore was encountered and was reported here last week by the superintendent of that property. They will return the first of the coming week when full account of this new find will De given.
 Al tne Verde Grande, Superintendent Scott reports a good showing in the way of sinking the shaft, which is go ing through a formation Of black slate and quartz with sulphides stareing them in the face from all sides. Manager Joe Larson of the Boston Jerome reports steady sinking in a DOT phyry and schist dyke which carries Considerable sulPhides. The outlook for this property is more than encour- i aging. and it is the opinion of expert i mining men of this district that this property will ultimately develop into a large producing mine. Jerome people piece great confidence in Manager Joe | Larson and his ability to do rapid and efficient work.
 Superintendent c. c. Stover of the Sycamore Mining company reports that they have resumed the sinking of the main shaft and win continue to drive her down as rapidly as possible. Gold bearing ore has been taken out of this property, the value of which has not yet been ascertained, but expert min ing men say t will run to high fig ure in the precious metal. The gas, which formerly gave considerable trouble to the miners at work in the shaft. has now become ancient history and development of this promising | property will now continue rapidly without interruption.
 The Arkansas & Arizona shaft is now down to almost 800 feet, whicd depth will be reached by tomorrow The formation through which they are now going is very little changed and lthe indications are favorable to the un- covering of copper ore and improves considerably as depth is reached. The company has purchased two more claims from Messrs. Hopkins and Nich- ols, which gives this property front age of 4500 feet adjoining the great ! United Verde mine.
 | At the Hull and Cleopatra properties work is being pushed as rapidly as possible. It is reported that the pros pect of these properties for produc- CTS grows brighter as work continues. A number of owners of undeveloed claims in this district are making prep arations for an extensive development lof their holdings and Jerome expects to see a number of new mining com panies operating in her vicinity with | in very short time.
 Tyrus Cobb, outfielder extraordinary, 1 A bridge twelve miles from Nogales was wrecked and a steam shovel and two cars were precipitated into the Santa Cruz river on the Nogales branch of the Southern Pacific Satur- day evening. Fortunately none of the trainmen were on the wrecked cars.
 The damage was caused by the col lision of the top of the steam shovel with the top of the steel bridge across the river. The bridge was so badly damaged that it will have to be entire ily oyerhauled and it will probably not be in use again for thirty days. Following closely on the wrecking of the bridge was the washing out of the timbers supporting a shoo-hy which lL.A-a2aAn- hae+II.1 nnnstT-uctad The ] washnnt was due to the sudden rise of the river following heavy rains up the stream.
 As a result of the werck traffic was suspended for about IS hours on the Nozales branch and the International train which should have arrived here at l2:55 o'clock yesterday afternoon did not get in until 8 o'clock last even ing
 l As soon as news of the accident was received here, the wrecking train was immediately dispatched to the scene of the trouble Relief gangs were al so sent from Benson and Nogales. When the wrecking crew reached the bridge, orders were given for the erection of a temporary shoo-fy across the river which is about f50 feet wide at inc scene of the trouble. The shoo- | hy had just been completed and was about to be used when a sudden rise | in the river washed out the supports and carried away the structure. | Just previous to the accident the freight train was proceeding at fair rate of speed across the bridge and everything was moving along smooth lly. The bridge has steel work over | the top which Is but a few feet above the box cars. The big steam shovel failed to clear this and collision fol lowed. The heavy steel work on the bridge was twisted and torn from it's
 fastening and the steam shovel top | pIed over on it's side into the river. Two of the freight cars followed into line river crashing on top of the steam shovel.
 It looked for time as If the entire rear end of the train would follow in to the river but the automatic air brakes that are carried. worked sue
 cessfuIly and bought the remaining cars to a sudden stop
 Until the bridge is repaired or until a temporary structure can be placed across the river it will be necessary
 to transfer passengers.
