 The San Xavier Mission, nine miles
 south of Tucson, one of the best pre-
 served of the church edifces erected
 by the Spanish fathers in the South
 west IS in a dangerous condition. | Heavy rainfall this summer has caus-
 ed the walls to crumble and the old building is very unsafe at the present
 time. Bishop Granjon, of the diocese of Arizona and New Mexico. will take steps to preserve the old mission, which
 is still used as church by the Papago Indians. Congress and the Arizona
 Legislature have made small appro-

 Thursday last, Capt. l.. F. Hanson: president of the Tom Reed Gold Min ing company, came in from that prop
 erty having in charge several hand
 some bars of bullion weighing $40, 900. This bullion was the result of 6 clean
 up of thirteen days run of the ten
 stamp mill. This IS probably one of
 the best cleanups ever made in Ari- zona from a ten stamp mIll in the same space of time. MT. Hanson re- ports the mine showing immense bodies of ore in every opening, and what is most gratifying. the ore is of very high grade, considerable of it running above $1OO to the ton. The Tom Reed has been making a record for it. self with it's ten n-stamp mill. Its out put for the month O: June was ESQ., 900, July S34. .0OO. and for the first thirteen days of August $40. .OOO.- Mohave Miner.
 Report comes to Kipgman this week that in a crosscut on the 9th level of the McCracken mine, four feet of ore was cut that gave an average of SlO2 in gold to the ton. The result of the first assay of ore was so much of | surprise that the superintendent had 1 new samples taken and run again. The result was the same, and although many other samples were taken to fully verify. the results were the same. This is something new in the Mo Oracken, which has always been con- sidered silver-lead proposition. The find was made in new territory, west of the old vein, and it is possible that this ore body extends to the surface. .Mohave Miner.

Mir. Carter knows more about the cyanide busi- ness than all the experts in the coun- ;ry. When he began operations on ;he tails of the Gold Road mill, few years ago, the wise ones laughed and predicted that he would have his labor for his gains, but he went right on and cleaned up about S3O.OOO within a short time and would have made still ,rea e winnings had the company not his lease.
