 J. L3. Pawlcy. who has been devel- oping the group of mines near Po- | land. owned by pr. II. A. Hughes of | Phoenix, gives an excellent report of the showing made, after three months | of active work. Dr. Hughes is pre- ! pairing to establish a permanent camp, | and contemplates eXpending consid- | erable capital to continue the present shafts to great depth, shipping later to Humboldt.
 James A. Murray has bonded the l claims, belonging to J. Wells, Smith l and the Hoveland Mining Co. in the Patagonia district The property is located about five miles southeast from the famous R. R. R. mines. The property was examined and passed upon by C. Holmes June The purchase price is not stated, but it Is understood to be well up into five figures.
 Louis C. Dunham of New York has optioned over 2.O00 acres of mining claims in Pinal county. The claims are extended for a length of about 3h miles. Commencing at a point at Cochran. on the Arizona Eastern. The property lies on both sides of the river and includes all the claims known as the Cochran locations as well as Jones and Wilson's ground. The latter was made notice of in these columns two weeks ago. All the options have been perfected, Will son signing his area up last week.
 A few men have already been put to work preparing the ground and getting ready for churn drilling. The latter machine is now on the road and is expected to arrive within the next two weeks. T. J. Sparks will be in charge of the practical opera tions.
 Louis c. Durham, has also bonded the old Neumann and Elder property. six miles from Kelvin. Both the old locators are now dead and the prop erty is now owned by Louis Melczer of this city. The claims have been more familiarly known as the Hamil- ton Victoria and the Elephant Groups and have very good superficial showing. Work will be commenced in about thirty days. When MT. Dunham is expected to return.
 b W. Steele has been exhibiting in l town some very rich gold ore from his Red Dog claim in the Winifrad district. about 1G miles north of Phoe- nix The ore is a heavily charged iron porphyry, exhibiting visible free ! gold. This district has constantly, l for many years produced high grade ore. The deepest property in the | district is the Union Mine. It is understood that the deepest shaft is down 400 feet. but has been filled with water for the last twenty years | The ten stamp mill on this property l has all gone to decay. The water supply was obtained through pipe l line from Cave Creek. a distance of l about 16 miles. It was said that on 1 the closing down of the property, the /. pipe line was opened up and allowed l to fill the workings, and they have ] never been unWatered since. The ] Gila Monster was another property l that received considerable develop 1 ment work.
 1 All the surface has received lots of 1 attention. There are open cuts, l trenches and shallow shafts every where. There is scarcely any of 1 these spots where a little free gold l cannot be obtained.
 1 There is q rumor of negotiations | pending for the combination and pur- chasing of the "Alvarado" and the l Yarnell properties, near Congress Junction. Both are well known prop critics. extensively developed, and both have mills on them. In an air line they are within two miles and half of each other. The Alvarado is down to a depth of 1000 feet and has con- siderable ore bodies already blocked 1 out The mine is fully equipped and has excellent surface improvements. Should these properties again be- come active. it would mean a great thing to this district which has been
 used to such energetic and substan- tial activity. The district has been very dull since the closing down of the Congress and Octave mines. But
 there is no question but what this
 area will ia ke on a new lease of life
 in the near future.
