Telluride Gold Ore

The Mansfield. whose shipping point is 62 miles southwest from Benson, and whose fiscal agent was recently advised of rate of < co per ton on ores shipped from that point to the Benson shelter, reports "veritahle treasure vault" where the latest de- velopments have penetrated ore in the "Black Gap" vein which assays as high as S42 to the ton in gold. Sl9 S6 in silver and SIS 20 in copper. At the same time the ore on the Black Gap dump was subjected to test which showed A general average of Sl 800 to the ton in gold. with pro portionate values in copper and silver
 The significant feature of these in creased gold values in the Black Gap vein is that they occur in telInrides indicating exceeding high gold value at depth. The machinery for deep mining on this vein is already on the ground, and some important develop - ments are looked for.

Arizona InteIIisentIy and Loyalty Re
 presented.

Arizona was at the public conven- tion which completed it's labors at Denver yesterday with six delegates and several influential citizens in ad- dision, says the Tombstone Prospector of June 9. Their battle cry, like that of the New Mexico and the Montana delegates was that the federal government shall let the range and and question alone.
 Our delegation got busy imme- diately upon it's arrival in Denver and began working up sentiment in line with this idea. Among them were H. E. Campbell and E. G. Gosney of Flagstaff; Attorney General E. s. Clark, of Prescott; Delegate Marcus A. Smith, of Tucson, and Charles Eberle, of Dos Cabezas

Mir. c. F. Joyce owner of the we'll known "rarheeF' ranch near Douglas, yesterday brought in some fine samples of Durham wheat raised by him by the dry farming process, and the samples, which can be seen at the Douglas Hardware store, clearly demonstrates the fact that the dry farmiug process is a success in this fer tile valley, says the Douglas Dispatch.
 MT. Joyce has farm of l6O acres and this season he has four acres which he planted in Durham or ma caroni wheat. which is an exceptions al hard cereal, planted as an experiment The wheat Is now matured and he will harvest the crop during the coming week.
 Next season Mir Joyce will put in a much larger acreage of the wheat. The gentleman will put in near four acres of corn. to be cultivated after the Campbell dry farming system. He has four or five acres in vegeta bles, all of which are doing fine, and he gets top-notch prices for every thing he brings to town.

TERRITORIAL NOTES.
Items of interest CulIed From Our
 Exchanges.

The outlook for another big mine in the Stafford district IS very encourag- ing. If all signs do not fail the Lone Star shaft will soon expose large body of ore. The shaft is now down 39O feet, and the miners are working in a heavily mineralized formation. Some rich sulphides have already been taken out.
 J. w. Tucker has just finished an eight months sentence in the Yuma penitentiary for firing shot at man who made sighting remark about woman friend of Fuckers The affair happened at Florence, and although Tucker is B years old he says he would not hesitate to do the same thing again, under similar circum- stances.
 The marked scarcity of laborers in the southwest shows to the world con clusively the wonderful prosperity of this country. Laborers are wanted in every undertaking, and tine supply is thousands short of the demand in both skilled and unskllled. Work on the Tonto dam will not progress as rapidly as it should for this reason. Men are wanted there, and wanted bad. Unskilled labor in Arizona to- day is receiving more than skilled labor was receiving three years ago. Stockman.
 South of Douglas. Arizona, in So nora, unusual mining activity is evi- denced by the increased amount of freight and passenger service which the Nacosari railroad is now called upon to give One freight and one mixed passenger and freight train run both ways every day. Three years ago one mixed train made the trip three times weekly. The hauling of supplies for the mining camps, coke for the Transvaal smelter at ,jumpas, and freight for the Moctezuma section as far AS Suaqui, IS keeping busy largo number of teams. And this Douglas and Nacosari country IS not by any means at tho height of it's commercial and mining possibilities. as a material increase will be realized when the Guaymas- -Gnadalaiara branch of the Southern Pacific reaches Douglas.
 Now Yavapai is after st,ip of Maricopa. but Maricopa is not con- tented with the idea. The Republican reports that surveyor General Ingalls, had the line between Yuma and Mari copa counties established and that the meridian line is two miles to the good in Maricopa. Yuma has made a de- mand for its two or three miles of ter ritory and it Is probable that it will get 1t. If the new line is correct, then Mohave county still has q mile of Yavapai's territory in excess of that claimed by Surveyor Latimer. The boundaries of the counties should be yed out by disinterested survey ors in the employ of the territory, which would establish for all time the dividing lines of the territory's sub divisions, and that hereafter whenever a county is carved out of other county or counties some natural object b. made the dividing line.

Hopes and Prays for Fog
to Clear Away.
About ESQ Pass The Night on
Steamer in Buzzard's Bay.
In No Danger But They're Hungry
When Landed.

New Bedford. Mass, Aug. ia most
uncomfortable nights experience was
the portion of the 80 eXcursionists who
by reason of the dense fog which filed
Buzzard's Bay were compelled to spend
last night bunked on life preservers on
board steamer ,Martha's Vineyard at
the southern entrance to Quick's Hole.
There was no suffering and the passen-
gers were at no time in any danger, in
spite of the fact that before the steam
er finally came to anchor she struck a
rock a glancing blow. The chief hard
ship of the trip was the lack OF food
and this bore especially hard upon the
babies and many small children who
were on the vessel, for the supply OF
milk on the steamer was exhausted long
before morning.
The Martha's Vineyard made two
trips from this city to Gay Head yes
tcrday and on the first one narrowly
missed disaster by bringing up 1oU
wards from land in Menensha blight. -,
The fog was 50 thick that captain
John w. Merriman in command OF the
Martha's Vineyard is said to have WISH :
ed not to make the second return Trip
but he finally CHANGED it. and AFTER q
short run across Vineyard Sound III en-

Of Pasque island.
She came to anchor when 1t was as
certained no damage was done and al
though two women tainted, there was
no panic 1t became necessary to an
Choir for the night and captain and
crew gave W their staterooms to the
women and children. The less fortunate
were compelled to bunk on life preserv-
ers.
There was a crying shortage Of food.
Last night crackers were passed out
and men in the stewards department
we're kept busy all right baking muf-
fins. This morning onnelettes were pre-
pared and given to the women and chill
drcn as far as they would go. The
steamer was anchored during the night
within a length Of the hcil buoy at tho
southern entrance to Quicks Hole, but
the fog was 80 thick that 1t was not
until early this morning that Capt.
Norman was able to make out his
position.
The fact that the steamer did Tot
reach her berth last evening caused
great anxiety in TIL; city and to allay
fears Of possible disaster. Agent c. g.
Wilton this morning dispatched tug
to hunt up the missing steamer. Sha
came into port this morning without
assistance, having passed the tug at
Lone rock, just this side If Quicks
Hole. The passengers generally COM
mend CAPTAIN Merrinan for his dlScre-
tion in a distressing predicament.
