Many Strikes Reported.
General yearly assessment work,
which is now well under way, is bring
ing in reports of strikes on outlying
properties. One of the most important
of these was the finding on the old
FTaZee property, in Tombstone canyon,
OF a large new ledge making a strong
cOVeTy, there have been many reports
Of good ore in the upper Tombstone
canyon district, and mining men here
are predicting a substantial back fire
movement, that is, a large increase Of
prospecting and development work up
Tombstone canyon, instead OF in the
direction of the border, where the trend
OF new development work has been go
ing for the last few years.
Other new sections that are at pres
ent attracting wide attention are 10
Gated up Brewery gulch and in the Don
Luis section When the camp was first
ablished, there was much prospect
ing work in all directions, as the many
abandoned prospect holes attest, but Of
late years almost all new work has
been done to the south.

ger of the Calumet and Arizona. and
DR.. /. D. Ricketts,, head of the Cana
nea Consolidated, leave the middle OF

Black Sea copper properties. The big
European copper producing district will
be inspected thoroughly with a view,
possibly, to adopting some of its meth
DDS here. and the two officials will then
leave for a trip over the Balkan war
territory The two are probably the
head of the mining industry in the
southwest, one or the other being con-
nected with practically every big prop
erty in Arizona or New Mexico.

"Grab'' Samples Assay High.
High assays are returned from three
sacks of grab" samples recently re-
ceived by the Patagonia Mines & Devel-
opment company at its office in this
city. The assays returned were: $3.50,
5000 and $3.50. The samples were
secured from a new drift that has re-
Gently been run in the Santa Rita
claims of the company in Josephine
canyon. The drift where the samples
were secured is in 40 feet and is prac-
ucally solid in the ore.
Much activity continues at the
where the double shift
recently inaugurated is making
rapid progress. The level work
ing over towards the Uncle Sam
claim expects at any day to pick up
the rich lead-silver deposit, which 1t
