MINERAL EXHIBIT
 FROM SILVER RING
Fine Specimens of Wire and Naive Silver Shown by the San
 Rival Company.

PHOENIX, November 7.-One os the finest mineral exhibits ever displayed in the city of Phoenix from single gro ID of mines is on exhibition here. The ore all comes from the holdings of the Sau Rival Milling & Mining company, of which John McCabe is the chief owner and promoter. The company owns n group of fifteen claims in Pinal county. of which one claim is the old Silver King mine that in its former workings has produced $l9, 900, but which un- til this summer has not been. worked for a long time and is now being oper. ated only in a small way. MeCabe has owned some of the claims for a long time, but secured the Silver King about a year ago, and organized the company, which has capital stock of s3,000, 900. McCabe is president and s. II. MitShell of this city is secretary.
 The display includes a contour map two framed pictures of the old Silver King mine and mill, number of piles of ore from the King and adjoining claims, and some washed samples Of high grade silver orc full of wire and native silver, on q box in the rear of tho window. There is also an old iron brake shoe that formerly did service on one of the freight wagons in the early days. It is supposed this brake shoe was made by John A. Marshall, 8 Phoenix blacksmith, or under his direc- tions, in the old days when ho was in charge of the blacksmithing shops of the Silver King.
