Rich Ore Discovered.

A Prescott dispatch says:-Recent arrivals In the city from the Bradshaw mountains state that the Swastka holdings are becoming more important and aside from the success that has fol- lowed the operating of the old silver producer of quarter of century ago, recent development eclipes the former bonanza rating of that group.
 The company is preparing to increase the force of miners. is enlarging the boarding house, as well as erecting other accommodations. Sinking from the 24O,foot level is going ahead, while the old drifts are being extended and continue to produce the high grade silver ores. Nearly two cars of ores are ready for shipment and fair es- timate places the value close to S,OOO$ per car.
 Five cars of about this grade of ore have been shipped to Fl Paso in the past five months, but hereafter it is the intention to bunch the productlcn into not less than two or more cars on single shipment. The claim being worked is the Silver Prince, but it is probable the zone of development will include in the near future the Black Warrior, which it adjoins on the south, and which in early days was also big producer.
 The remarkable showing made by Swastaka people striklngly illustrates what practical management will ac. compolish in the face of adverse con. ditions in opening up ground that had been abandoned for so many years.

rate for miners is 3.5OS a day, while copper sells under IS cts. a lb., and over that price it is 4$ day.
 For time under the contract, which was for 5 years and was made by John D. Ryan, president of the Amalgamated, the miners received 4S a day, but after the copper had drop ped down to nearly 16 cts. and not be- fore, the wages were brought back to 3.50$ day. Some of the radical mem. bers of the union are now advocating that demand be made for AS day without regard to the price of copper, but the more conservative element are opposed to any movement which will disturb the present relations, and there seems to be no doubt in view of the recent vote on the question of a strike, showing the conserva tive ele- ment to be in complete control of the union, and that no successful effort will be made to cause any trouble over the wage question.
 There are no mines in the country where the conditions for working are better than they are in Butte, and the men are given every consideration in regard to health and conveniences There may be some attempt to force g demand for an increase in wages, but one thing the public may be assured of, there will not be any trouble M. & k.

Richest Spot of Ground
 Known on the Globe.

Figures have recently been compiled to show that the Comanche mine of Butte, Montana, which embraces only six acres, has paid out in dividends through the Boston & Montana, which bought it for 2ls, s,OOOs, and the Anal gamated Copper Company, which ab- sorbed the Poston x Montana, 3S,0OO,- OOOS. It still has 2O,OOO,OO 8 in value left in it's ground, making it probably the richest six acres of mining land that has ever been turned up on the globe, says the Boston News Bureau.
