 Jos. MuIhatton and Mir. Thomas os the Dagger well district were in
 town yesterday and brought in some
 very rich samples of copper ore car
 rying gold, and which will average
 S5 per cent copper. This remarkable strike was made on the Maggie group
 of claims while Mir. Thomas was do- ing the annual assessment work. He had struck some very rich ore on other parts of these claims and was
 not surprised at encountering rich ore at this place, as the entire Dag ger Well district is full of large true Assure veins carrying ore. One ledge l is 100 feet wide and can be traced a long distance. On the claim he is now working he has gone down ten feet and the vein apparently grows wider the deeper he goes. Not 100 feet from this hole Mir Thomas struck water at depth of twenty feet, this going to prove that they will run into sulphire ore very soon. In a number of other assessment holes they have run into large sul- phide bodies Mir. Mulhatton had to quit work on one Of his shafts at a depth of sixty feet owing to water. Mir. Tillman, also had to stop devel- opment work on one of his claims owing to water after striking some fine shipping ore. Dagger well is an La, I1r- level country five miles square, hav- ing plenty of good water and ex- cellent roads, etc, for shipping pur- poses. The altitude iss about $500 feet. The. owners of this section, consisting of five. have been in touch with some Baltimore capitalists a short time and they are daily receiv- ing encouraging news as to condition of the market. and that they will soon be on the ground to look it over. The owners of the Dagger Well district have been camped on this property number of years and have worked steadily developing it. Few people have been out to see Dagger Well, and can not realize the immense values here. It is a district independent of all. having everything needed right there. it is a place which will form it's own town in the near future. A trip to this locality is well worth the money.
 R. Thieman, very practical pros- pector, has returned from Globe and will resume operations on his claims near Kelvin. His claims are located on the south side of the Gila river and about two miles from Kelvin, and within a half mile of the rail- road. ..M Mir. Thieman has been in the mining business most of his life and has given considerable study to it. Several times in his life he has miss ed fortune by giving up claims too quickly and looking for new ground Colorado and Nevada have been his working grounds for Several years but of late he has given Arizona his attention The claims he has now are in a good copper section and they are beginning to show up very good Mir. Thieman says he has at last found some good claims to which he is going to hold fast. Within the next two years he fells sure of sell ing his property at a good price. as the Kelvin esction is daily improving in value
 videl Sena, owner of the valuable gold property at Sheldon Station. has gone to Silver Bell for short time. Vidcrs property borders direct on the Gila river and as soon as che gets some money together he will start grinding his ore.
 The Eagle M. & Copper Go. has been doing considerable blasting late ly and has struck some very valu able sulphide ore.
 Carlos Buelna wes overcome by gas while working in one of the tunnels of the Eagle NJ. & Copper Go. Work in this tunnel and the air compress sor had not yet been installed when he entered He was carried out and quickly recovered.
 John McMasters has just come in from Octave. where the mines have shut down for an indefinite period. Mir McMasters has been the engineer there for the past two years. He will remain in Kelvin and start work soon.
 Sam Gibson of the Gibson camp was in town last week and reports things as moving along nicely at his camp. He was much impressed with this locality and looks for Kelvin to be booming soon. MT. Gibson is also very much in favor of establishing a good wagon road between Kelvin and Gibson. The present road to Globe is eighteen miles and the, dis tance to Ray would be only about seven miles. This road would be an immense help to Kelvin and. Ray and the citizens here are requested toi talk it up and do something towards getting this road established. This road would run through a very high ly mineralized country and would be the means of opening up many val uable mining properties.
 MT. Vim. Barenscheer chemist of the Ray Consolidated Copper com pany. is going east in few weeks to stay several months and Kansas City will be his destination were he has some important business to at tend to. His family will accom- pany him.
 Henry J. Murray, a former Arlzon- ian of extensive mining experience. will assume Mr. Barenscheer's duties d,,ring his absence MT. Murray has
