 Yuma county has another SlOO,OOO mining deal to it's credit, according to w. c. Despair, who, with his brother, Lynn, arrived from the Bouse country where the two have bee1 experimenting developments on the Ibex-Plomosa group. A party of Michigan capitalists who are heavily interested in copper properties have clo ied, Mir. Despair says, with Mo Mahon and Thomas Bouse for their Little Dutchmau group. The price of the bond approximates Sl00,000 and the Michigan people have also taken over the Reid, copper, and the Old Maid, gold prospect, in the same belt. They are in a gold coun- try and all of the prospects look like future mines. The Michigan people are not amateurs and they under stand how to go atout work in order to secure results. They think their district is not unlike Goldfeld.

There is now large amount of ore on the dunp and in sight at the mine. some of which samples 1000 ounces to the ton in silver.

Mir. Saxhang has great faith in the futur i of the property owned by his con- l pany, and with a number of eX- perienced mining men, who have ex- amined and reported on them, be- 7, lieves large valuable bodies of gold | ore will be yet discovered Many | people in Nogales, who are stockhold- CTS in his company, also have conti- | dence in the property, and future de- velopment work will be watched with interest.
