from Vicksburg This property is ad- jacent to the Shamrock's company's ground. It is also reported that MT.
 Moore has bonded his iron ore property between Vicksburg and
 Quartzite. There is great activity all along the line in the Ellsworth district
 Many new deals are being nego-
 tiated around Salome The Cobralla people have bonded their property. and there's several big deals on foot in the Harcuvars. Just as I said a short while ago, the right men. with
 the right kind of backbone are coming into the country and its these men that do things. The Harqua Hala dam is fast becoming a dam in reality; eight or ten men are con stantly at work and things are pro- gressing fine. The accomplished and gifted author, Miss Sharlot Hall. was visitor to Salome this week, and was the guest of Mrs E. s. Jones. Miss Hall who is niece of Mrs. J. A. Reid, of Reid's ranch, and who has been stopping with her aunt on visit, left last Wednesday for QuartZsite, where she expects to se- cure valuable data for her literary work before returning to Salome. She expects to go to La Paz and Parker and take photographs and gather the news.
 Percy Sharpe, of the Salome Hill- side, was in town Thursday to meet his father, who was up from Phoe- nix. Mir. Sharpe, senior. left on Fri day for that city on business con nected with the company.
 l saw recently a fine banning made from the Hillside claim of the Hillside group, which adjolns the Arizona Northern. It showed some free gold and copper sulphidcs, and also heavy whitish looking precipi- tate that held the pan like platinum. If my memory serves me right the specific gravity of gold is 125, and platinum is heavier. It will pay the Hillside people to test for rare min eral, as, if I should be mistaken and this should not prove to be an un- recognized form, of platinum depos- tion they would be way wonder to the good in the additional knowledge acquired. And by the way, if I rem Der Dana's "A System of Mineralogy" correctly, platinum is associated with the deposition of gold, silver, copper. nickel and cobalt. The prospector. if he is not wise to this fact should catch on at once, and pay more at tentiOn to these minerals. There's money in it. It is reported that the old Socorro property is going to re- Crrr nV,.
 various reports about what Mike Sanchez recently sold his property back of Harrisburg for Some say S6,OOO, while others say $10.O0O. s3.OOO cash and the balance in ninety days. but l have been unable to see San chez but am satisfied that a bona fide sale was made. Louis Bardett has recently made find southwest erly from the Harqua Hala dam, on ledge 100 feet wide One assay ran $500 in gold. The ledge has not been tested yet for an average. John Rogers, who is a partner of John O. Newcomer, one of the pro- prietors of the Madison house in Phoenix, and who with Rogers owns some very valuable ground in the Harqua Halas, was in town recently. MT. Rogers and a Mir. Holmes and Mrs. Marsh have located a claim that parallels MT. Bardett's ground. They have named it the Lucky Strike. MT. Rogers and associates think they have a bonanza. They be- lieve they have a ledge of phonolite about 10 feet wide in between quartz ite. and lime. Their surface assay is better than S20. This strike I be- lieve to be as represented, as I am acquainted with the locality It is in the Little Harqua Halas, the possi- bilities of which I wrote about sey- eral weeks ago for the Republican. |
 There are rumors of new railroad projects. of which this section will l be the beneficiary. but it is only hearsay, and no authentic news is The ultimatum people are | hard at work, and there's a persist | ent report that big improvement is showing in character of matter en- countered in sinking their shaft. It | will be my pleasure to take in their claims in the next ten days and | perhaps lot more ground around them. A miner by the name of King was badly injured in the shaft of the Ultimatum this week The general opinion expressed was that he was The poor fellow had his skull broken, but they are doing all | within human power for him, and he's got a fighting chance. Miss Minerva Algier, of Philadelphia is paying a visit to her now famous brother. Albert Algier. of the Ari- II zona Northern. It has been many years since MT. Algier has seen his
