Though cnly a month old Sylyanite- is supporting second paper, The Sylvanite Miner. This is the second weekly to carry the name of the new mining camp: the first being the Syl- vanite Sun. Sylvanite is surt ly well supplied with newspapers.
 Governor Kibbey a few days ago pardoned a convict from Cochise coun ty named A Valencia on account of his bad health as it was certain he could not live long and he wanted to be with his people and not die within prison walls. Valencia died Sunday morning and the remains were buried by the county undertaker.-Yuma Sentinel.
 Frank and Will Hawkins left Sat- urday for Courtland to investigate it's merits. OourtlaEd is the new name for Leadville. in the Dragoon noun tains, east of Tombstone. It has como into prominence lately for the reason that the Copper Queen and O. & A. companies have invested there recent ly. It is said that about 200 Amer ican miners are employed at Court land.-Paradise Record.
 Wm. Holmes, president of the Lead vile Mining company, was Tomb stone visitor today. Ar. Holmes is one of the pioneers of the Leadville district and is a believer in the min eral resources of that section. He states the Leadville company is em- ploy ing about 25 men aad the prop erty never looked better than at the present time. Large ore bodies are being blocked out ready for shipufent in the near future.-Prosrector.
 It has been said by many experts that the ore bodies do not extend to depth in the Clifton -Morenci district. But we are glad to say that these pre- dictions have proven to be mistakes. The Arizona Copper company has demonstrated iu several instances that the ore bodies are as good or better at depth than they were on the surface. This is fact, as that company has been working it's mines long enough to have them worked out if the ore was confined to the surface alone. The latest develpment in the Shannon mine has proven the fact that even largar ore bodies exist at depth than on the surface, and that company to- day has more than twice as much ore in reserve as it had few years ago. 1 The same thing might be said of the Detroit Copper company, which con- cern has been operating successfully the past fifteen or twenty years Copper Eea.
