 ton of Arizona.

PHOENIX, May Mammoth Is
 taking on an air of increased yIVs perity according to a number of min ing men cf that section who were in the city yesterday: Among the Nam. moth visitors here were E. M. Kill
 berg, J. E Iiubois, F. W. Pool, J. w
 Barndenburg and H. L. Newcomb. 1 Their trip kere was made for the spe.
 cial rurpose q looking after a land deal. a sz
 Much machinery is being shipped ] into the country said MT. Neweomb. Among the concerns which are in stalling mining machinery are the c. 1 &, A. company which is also receiving considerable lumber during the past few days and are preparing for much l greater operations. The final pay l ment of the Clarke Scanlon property will be made on the 7th of August. Development work is being pushed on this property.
 The Copper Creek company is ir-
 stalling new facilities in the way of machinery, and nine six-horse teams are now being employed hauling in hoists, lumber, and an electric con centrating plant which win be in serv- ice within the next thirty days 1t is thought This is being erected at Sycamore flats in Copper Canyon. The laying out Of the town site is now Tn progress.
 There is talk of a forty stamp mill on the Mobawk property. This is To- cated only three miles from Nam laoth. The company is now crosscut- l ting on the 400-foot level, having inst l finished a crosscut on the 350 foot level. StopIng ore will be begun as socn as the 4OO-fcot crosscu5 IS com Pieted.

 4 good rCcIke has been made on | ihe property bonded by Mir Tanner
 where a new five stamp mill Is being | put up. But The best strike H;lich | has tome to light is on the propel ,y | of Frank Harner and Hand, which re-
 vealed a siX-inch ledge of gold ore running in places to as much as | s1200 per ton. This, of course, in picked specimens, but there are about | eight tons oa the dumps which will
 run over $100 per ton. The gold is
 found on a porphyry and quartsite
 contact, and there appear to be con
 siderable indications of it's extending
 a good depth. The shaft is now down
 only eight feet. The canyon below has been worked as a placer for years and many have tried to locate | the mother lode and not until last
 week did anything which looked like 1 ready money snow up for the many l prospectors who have gone over the
 claims. Mir. HogswelI has shipped
 from an adjoining claim parts of two l car loads of ore to Fl Paso and the re
 turns were s2,200 net according to
 the reports.
 But mining is not the only activity
 in that section says Mir. Newcomb | The ranges are in good shape, feed is | plentiful in sthe mountains. A few
 days ago Wills and Brady shipped
 1200 head of feeders to the Salt river
 valley and several others have pur.
 chased the old Wm. Atchley and SchooenhoUser cattle estate with
 about 150O head of cattle, corrals
 houses and other property. and in cluding 400 acres of land. The pur
 chase price was S16,500 and it is saIL
 to be a good bargain. The ranch is located on the San Pedro river and
 is mostly bottom land. It is about
 nine miles south of Mammoth.
