Another transaction made public yesterday further illustrates the rap idly growing values of real estate in this valley. H. l. Latham & Co and
 w. H. Nall have sold the J. c. Park inson place on Grand avenue. just east of the Alhambra brick yard. to J. H. Gagan. It is a fifty acre farm and is nicely improved by a brick house. barn. orchard and alfalfa pastures. the entire farm being nicely fenced and with good cedar posts. The sell ing price was SS.O00 or S160 per acre. and there isn't a well posted man in the valley who does not believe that inside of two years. perhaps inside of one year, the same farm will sell for twice the money. if the owner cares to dispose of it.
 But Mir. Parkinson hasn't lost any thing in selling. though he might have made more by not selling He dropped in here couple of years ago from Illinois and bought the farm of MT. Borden, with practically the same i'm provements as are now on it. for $3S00. so he has more than doubled his mon- ey in two years, and as mentioned above the new owner stands for just as good a profit, according to the judgment of men who ought to know best. Mir. Gagan is a recent arrival from Oklahoma and expects to make this his home.

ACREAGE PROPERTY
 ITS GROWING VALUE
A Couple of Transactions That Pleased All Parties and Point the Usual Salt River Valley Moral.

The values of orange orchards and orange lands are beginning to be ap- preciated in this valley if one may judge by the sales being made. The Thompson orchard on North Central avenue was sold a few days ago by Morford and Barr. the real estate men, for S12,0OO. or $500 per acre. though there are but ten acres in oranges, the remainder of the twenty being in de- ciduous fruits, alfalfa. etc.
 It is understood the same firm has contracted a forty acre tract of fine orange land, advantageously situated, at $200 and other firms report an in creased interest in unimproved orange lands. Such property is certain to go much higher if like California lands are any criterion. Our highest quo tations are only about fifty per cent of the prices similar lands are held at in California. It is well known that Arizona oranges lead the market as long as they last and there can never be too great a crop for the demand.

ARIZONA MIN ES

Groom Creek, district has shown a general revival in the mining industry fin the past month. and indications are that it will be one of the busiest sec
 tions in the county by May l." said
 F. F.. Mansfield. general manager of the Empire group of mines. to a rep- resentative of the Journal Miner.
 The properties of the Alma Empire Consolidated Mining Company have been taken over by the Empire Con- solidated Gold Mining company" he said. "The new concern is amply fin anced to meet the obligations of the old company and resume work on a larger scale than ever Under orders from the new concern, the old cyanide plant is being dismantled to make room for two Wilfley and two Frue Nanner concentrators, which will be installed as soon as the cyanide plant is removed. The ten stamps in the mill are being overhauled as well as the mill and hoisting machinery Everything will be in shape to resume work on the mine when w. C. Albers and two directors of the new company arrive here a week hence.
 
 Another concern has a force of men engaged unwatering the Monte Cristo mine. few years ago one of the most active in the district" he continued This mine has a record of many thousands in production in gold and silver and the resumption of work has aroused confidence among the small operators and prospectors of the dis trict, familiar with it's past record"
 Groom Creek district is six miles south and tributary to the city Of Prescott for all mining supplies. It is one of the oldest mining sections in Yavapai county and was famous for its gold production many years after its discovery. It has always been~con- sidered a poor mans camp on account of the number of veins and lodges car rying high grade gold values near the surface. Few of its mineral bearing veins have been explored to any con- siderable depth In few instances where shafts have been sunk to a depth of a few hundred feet the lodges have produced high grade ore

 cerning His Mining Prospects.

 Copper croppings. 30 feet wide anc 1,500 feet long, on the property, can supply an unlimited tonnage of three per cent ore he said to q Journal Miner man. "Other ore bodies are opened by shallow shafts that sample 20 to 30 per cent.
 Tt is the greatest surface showing for copper mine I ever saw" he en- enthusiastically added. 'I have seen and worked in all the great copper mines of the coast and know of none that had the surface showing this group has. l discovered the ground last year while on a prospecting trip in the Bill Williams range. kept my find a secret and in November return ed and made four locations. l have an option on eight other locations adjoin- ing my discovery, which increases my holdings to twelve claims"
 The property is located fifty miles west of Congress Junction. five miles west of the Bill Williams river. and 112 miles south of the Rawhide mine. It is reached by wagon over a road of easy mountain grades from Con gress Junction, following the Date creek water grade.
 Mir. O'Hara expects to be absent in Chicago a month. when he will return to the ground ready to commence operations on a large scale. He all ready has assurances of the necessary capital to develop the new find.

When the siege was over and
