Judge Wren States That Section is Decidedly
 Active
Sale of the Big Groom Group is Practically
 Completed

Constellation and adjacent mining country, according to the statement made yesterday by Judge P. s. Wren, who is in the city for a few days on business, is entering its most pro- nouneed era of activity in recent years, and it is his belief that the coming fall months will see the most energetic field in the county under favorable operation.
 Reviewing the more important tran sections of the last few weeks, Judge Wren states that the sale of the big Groom group is practically consum- mated. The consideration named is $l00,00O, and Colorado capitalists take the property over and begin develop ment in the middle of July. It is a copper and gold proposition, and bears a good name in mining circles.
 The Monte Cristo, one of the fla nous silver producers, owned and operated by E. D. Thayer of PhOe- nix, has an immense tonnage of ore on the dump, and it is probable that in the fall mill will be erected to treat the yield. The greatest depth reached on this property is 300 feet, and the method prevailing to develop it is pronounced as one of the most practical to be seen in the district MT. Thayer is said to have a verit- able bonanza proposition, and mas received commendation for his method of operating.
 At the camp of the Arizona Copper Belt, systematic development is un. der .headway, and from the yield in the past few weeks ear load of eOpper-gold bearing ore is ready fer shipment to the Humboldt smelter Some idea of the good values received from this property in past work is shown in the net returns given from a nine-ton batch of ore that reached the handsome figure of $50 per ton. It comprises two groups, both of which are thoroughly exploited, the twelve claims having determinations made that give the system an at; tractive rating.
 At the Tom Boy camp, Mark Brad ley has a force of miners at work, and the development is progressing in a more satisfactory showing than was anticipated. More miners are being put to work, and as the ground is opened up the results are attract ing attention from all.
 
 under adjustment in a dispute be- tween George Marguerite and the com pany, are nearing a solution, and will in few days be amicably settled up. These interests, comprising eleven claims, are highly rated, and the gen eral belief is that no more desirable mineral proposition in the county is to be seen than what is in evidence on them. As an exploring propOsi- tion they are the biggest and the output is generally believed, when operated, to be of the heaviest. With the resuming of work on the Unida, the Gold State Mining and Milling company also gets under headway. The latter is on the belt that carries the former, and both or either of them, when in full operation, win form very desirable combination.
 At other points in the district ad jaeent to Constellation, are many in dividual miners at work, many of whom are making a splendid showing, and several big shipments will come to the Humboldt smelter in the next few months. Investors are coming into the district, and the develop ment accomplished is the avenue that attracts them.
