MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci Dis
 trict and Surrounding Camps.

Annual assessment work is bel g done on claims controlled by the Cliff ton gold and copper company, which will be completed by the first of January.
 Rumor has it that c. NJ. Short and several partners have discovered oil ground in the neighborhood of Guthrie and several locations have been made. So far nothing but surface indications have been found, as no development work has been done.
 The new gold camp, Sylvanite, is now settling down to business and ore shipments are being commenced. The excitement is over and those in terested in the district are now going ahead with their work. The auto mobile line, which was in full blast few weeks ago, has disappeared and teams are taking their places. There are several valuable mines in that district and prospects are good for more to be developed in the future.
 Dan Fraser, who is connected with the Twin Peaks mining company whose property is located in the Stee- pie Rock country in New Mexico, ar rived in camp Sunday last. He re- ports that his company has done a considerable amount of development work in the past year with hattering results and work will be pushed as rapidly as possible in the future. The Twin Peaks company owns some of the best prospective mines in that m ming district.
 The New York-Arizona gold and copper company have built a new wagon road d mile in length, branch ing from the new road recently built by the Morenci Water company, and in the future will move their camp to a new location, where it is plan ned to erect the mill. The New York-ArizJna company continues to work a good force of men on devel- opment and recent reports are tn the effect that the management of the company is we'll pleased with results.

Improving Farm on the GiIa.

w. c. Craufurd, of Morenci, who re- gently purchased the Leonard Smith farm on the Gila, below Sheldon, which by the way is one of the many valuable farms in that section, is now making some substantial improve ments. He is putting in a system of storage reservoirs, which will. be a great convenience during the summer when water is low in the river. The valley lands along the Gila river are the best that can be found in any country, and where water is obtain able, will grow most anything in the vegetable and produce line. When present improvements are completed, Mir. Craufurd will have one of the best farms in that section.
