 Haehita Property.
 II. Fl. Baylor. H. J. Bowles and Charley Forest are in from the Ha- chita or Sylyanite district where their mineral holdings embrace a group of eighty acres. It is a free gold proposition. only superflcially de veloped but has brought results with that amount of work that the owners are not worrying in the least about the numerous adverse press refiec- tions on the district They are here for business connected with the prop erty and will have more or less com mercial relations with Douglas during it's development. They are Uvalde, Texas. people
 The Superstition.
 F. S. Hoyt, manager of the Super stition Mountain Mining company, has purchased a large concentrating plant that was installed in the Cave Greek district. but never used. and will move it to the company's mines. sit uated in the Superstition mountains, about forty-fiye miles north of Flor ence. so soon as the wagon road now in course of construction from Hew- ett station to the mines shall have been completed Gene Woodbury is in charge of the work on this road and is gradually ascending the noun tain with it along grade line that will make hauling over the roads easy. Here is an opportunity for the people of the Salt River valley who want a wagon road to that pictur- esque and delightful mountain sum mer resort, the old Reayis ranch. to get one without large outlay on their part Mir. Hoyt's mining camp is only about two miles this side of the Reayis ranch and if the Salt River valley people will contribute small amount toward the construc- ton of his road he would assist them in extending it on to the Reayis ranch. A road from Fish creek up to his ranch would cost them ten times the amount it would cost to reach the ranch by Hoyt route. The latter route would also furnish them another market for produce.-Flor ence Blade.
 Mining tre PhiIir:oines. 4 m response 10 an Inquiry made Of he bureau of science. dIvisivn CT mines. Tn Manila. we received the fot towing information m regard to nifn- ing claims in the Philippines:
 Mining claims may be held by prf- vate individuals. companies or COS porations. Mining concessions grant ed by the Spanish crown prior to April II, 1899, are valid today. pro yided that all the conditions under which they were originally granted. have been lived up to since then Mining claims taken up since Amer ican occupation of the islands may be and have been patented. following a procedure similar to that necessary in the United States. The United States government exercises no direct supervision over mining operations in these islands, but the government of the Philippine islands has the power to provide rules relative to the working, policing. inspecting, etc. Of mines"
 Wolfrarite in British India.
 Mir. J. Kellerschorn, mining geolo- gist. who is in India prospecting for minerals in the interest of the Car negie Steel company, recently discov- erad a deposit of wolframite. to which Sir Thomas Holland refers thus: Nothing was found at the sur face to indicate the occurrence and the chance of discovery in a pros pecting pit, put down because of of some black stains supposed to be manganese ore, gives an idea Of how much is hidden in Peninsular India under the monotonous peneplain. in which the rocks are masked by their envelope of soil" The discovery IS referred to in report for 1907. or the Geological Survey. volume S6' part 4.
 The discovery is regarded by scien- lists in India as an important one. and as indicating the existence in paving quantities of wolframite or tungsten ore in different parts of In dia. This ore has been found in one place. in the Hazaribag district, Ben gal, and in several localities in Bur ma. The market value of the ore is from s1O to s570 per ton. depending on the percentage of the metallic centrates.-United States Consul ar Report.
