 IL is pretty well understood that the Castle Hot Springs Is not a sanitorium in the sense thaf word is generally used; nevertheless, it is necessary h order to secure the best results to have n resident physician, chiefly ou account of the baths. Although ssf ferers of tuberculosis arc not received others who are more or less afflicted with stomach trouble, rheumatism, ner vous exhaustion, etc, are welcomed and the patronage of the resort T largely made up of those who are tire' and run down and merely want res and the strengthening and revivifyini efren of the baths.

CASA 0RANDE GOLD
 STRIKE DRAWS ATTENTION

TUCSON, Dec. 23.--A story of an Arizona gold mine of great richness comes from Casa Grande. It relates 10 the Turning Point mine, which is about twenty-two miles southward from the railroad, and is in a district that is certain to attract much notice in the future. The ledge Is twenty feet wide and carries average values of ego per ton, but in places contains pockets of such richness, it is said, that the company has resorted to tne practice in vogue in very rich mines of search ing the miners as they come of shift. The property is near the Jack Rabbit and Desert Queen mines.
 The Turning Point mine n a prop erty with an interesting history. In the carly sos Futile of the Silver King mine operated the property and lated Doran moved the mill of the abandoned Silver King mine to the Turning Point and gutted tae property of its rich surface ores. In fact, the miners of those days were for the most part content with the ores near the surface and left for the present gen eration the deep and more extensive values that will make that district q mineral producer in the near future.
 The whole region is we'll mineralized the Quijotoas to the south having beer the scene of a notable mining excite ment in the 's0s. The "Big Four of mining fame, Fair, Flood, Mseka, and O'Brien, operated in that eountr, and extracted some rich ore, but aban doned that isolated district for som' more siluring excitement in the day when vivid and exaggerated tales O golden fortune were borne on ever. breeze.

 Fellows claims that the Tom Reed locations overlap, leaving two fractions of 50 feet in length open for location. His right to the ground WAS contested recently by the company. He insii- tuted injunction proceedings to have bis rights declared valid but his con tention was not unaeld by the court.
 Injunction proecedings in the case of Caroline Desmont versus the Apache County Bank and Trust Company were also dissolved on the defendants mo ton. The ease is au Apache county one.

The bank claims that an ofei of $lI 100 was made for the sheep and that the plaintiff and her son, William II. wahl, are further indebted to tho defendant in various amounts aggre gating 5000. This is denied by Mrs Desmont, who asserts that she IS onl, indebted to the bank in the amount o' the mortgage. The court gave tat bank permission to make the sale aftel
 filing q s5,0OO indemnity bond.
 Judgment for plaintiff was given II the ease of Gillette versus Bullion. Int case was in the nature of foreclos ure proceeding. Bullion purchased tn
 Gillette place in the Verde valley, giv
 ing an $500 mortgage as part payment

BfSBEE, Dee. 23.-Al Brockman is here from sylyanite and states taat the conditions there are improving ev. cry day. He says that the big ex. citcment which has been prevalent there for some time past has gradually subsided, but that the mines are i.- proving.
 "1 consider that the properties are proving faster and better than the most ssnguinc expected. The wairI and glamour which is always charse- teristic of a new strike has slowly died out and the business men arc getting down to business in good shape.
 '' consider that Sylvanite has p~e- tically made good, and that it will bs one of the coming camps of the souah- west l have no doubt There are d. ready several properties which nave made fine showing and are disclosing some excellent ore. There have bsea some good offers made for several of he properties by Denver parties, ssd number Of men representing Colorado capita are on the ground looking over the field carefully, and will in ell pro bability make investments.
 "There has been considerable spsov- istion regarding the future of the oAme and there have been many pros ana cons ventured respecting its future anA success, but enough has already bssa proved to insure it's suceess. Tho ass- eraa surface showing is good and . careful examination of the distrisk suggests that it is permanent and that plenty of ore will be found when d. vclopmcnt work is sufficient to provs the district.
 "I know of no more promising sec tion in the southwest than that of sylvanite, considering its age and do velopment. IL is safe to say that this camp will make good and expect ts sec good force of men working is that district in the very near future. A pay roll is all that Is required there to make things hum, and that will come with a little more development work in that section"

OPERATORS or ETTA
 MINE IMPROVE PROPERTY
CFrem Thursday's Dallyl


 Since taking over the Etta mine un. der bond few months ago, the Book. ariz Mining Company has made won. derful progress in its operations on the property, according to the state meDts of miners who arrived here yes. terday from that camp to spend the holidays.
 new wagon road from Cherry Creek to the mine is finished, shorten. ing the old route by five miles. The Etta mill on the Verde river, five miles below the mine. has been dis. | mantled and the machinery hauled to the mine, where the ten stamps and cyanide plant is in course of erection by the firm of Elliott and Drescber. The management expects to have the plant ready for operation by February l5. Some delay was experienced in the work by the heavy storms of last week, but the roads are again in fair shape for traffic and new machinery is reaching the camp daily.
 Grading is in progress for camp buildings which will be erected as soon as the mill is finished. Many of the employees are now comfortably living in tents on account of the lack of house accommodate
 A new assay o6iee is finished and the third payment was made to Elliott ( Dreseher yesterday on the mill con. struction contnct.
 Drilling in the shaft is now carried on by air drills furnished power from the new air compressor started a few days ago.
 The shaft is 200 feet deep and the management is well pleased with the progress made in sinking it. The psystrcak under the old workings was struck few days ago in the drift from the 100 foot level in the shaft. The orc body is six feet in thickness, some being as high grade as any ever taken from the mine. Drifts will be started soon from the l35 foot level and the 20Ofot level to tap the ore body below tho old workings. The management intends to raise the ore mined from the old as we'll as the new ground opened through the shaft. A conservative estimate of the amount of milling ore in sight at present is 100,' 900 tons. This does not include the ore body tht will be opened by tne lower drifts which will be in virgin ground below the bottom of the deep est of the old openings.
 I The Etta is among the oldest gold locations in the Black Hills district It is on the eastern slope of the range overlooking the Verde valley. It' carly owners erected a ten stamp mil for the treatment of the product oi ] the Verde river. to which the orc va hauled by wagon. Transportation charges were so high that none but th' . highest grade ores were mined, th medium and low grade ores being lief , untouched. When the property wa , taken over the present company, tn 3 removal of the mill 10 the mine wa |. started by II. II. Keays. the genera |. manager.
