BONANZA MINES IN THE NOUN.

CATTLE RECEIPTS ARE SMALLER
AGAIN

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
May 25.-Cattle receipts have been
much smaller this week than last, and
the market has gradually strengthened

next month or six weeks, and the trend
seems TO be in that direction. Grass
will be later than had previously been
figured on, on account OF the backward
weather, and competition from grass
cattle win not affect the market for
some weeks yet. The Lockhart steers
sold Monday at $3.50 and $3.50, equal
to the highest prices yet paid for taem,
and all classes of killing cattle are Mt
about the highest point this spring.
Western Kansas heifers sold this week
at $500. western Nebraska steers mp to

STRIKE BODY OF RICH suLPHIDE
ORE.
(From Sundays Daily.)

What promises TO be the most impor.
tant mineral strike made in the Big
Bug district, for many months, was
brought TO light in the new compart.
mcnt shaft on the properties Of the
New England-Arizona Mining com
pany, where, at n depth Of 900 feet, n
body Of sulphide ore was broken into
carrying good values in goll and cop.
per, besides several ounces in silver.
The shaft has been continued through
the ore body five feet deeper, showing
gradual increase in the values Of the
shoot, or deposit. The ore body is the
entire width Of the shaft, and its thick.
ness has not yet been determined, as
il is the intention Of the management,
in accordance with the plan Of devel.
opment agreed upon at the time the
sinking Of the shaft was commenced,
to continue it down to the 3OO-foot
level, where station will be cut and
the ground opened by drifts and cross.
cuts.
The ore body was found in q quart.
ute dyke, which cuts through the coun.
try formation in a northerly and south.
crly direction, and crosses n ledge with
an easterly and westerly course near
the location Of the shaft.
As n result of the discovery the
management will install, as soon as
practicable, an air compressor AMI air
drills, for the purpose Of rushing the
sinking Of the shaft, which is now
equipped with hosting plant.
The holdings Of the company, consist
ing Of six claims ARE located about
three aud one.half miles north OF the
Mc.aDe-G Gladstone mines and about
three miies northwest Of the Humboldt,
