Rich Specimens.

Specimens of gold ore running around 5OO$ per ton were brought in town recently by Dan WeIch, who with Randall Booth and Phil Hona- dick, all Indians, are operating a min. ing claim on the reservation. about 25 miles south of Parker. Welch says that the vein is about two feet in width, and that himself and partners have already taken out ten tons of the rich rocK. The ground has been known for several years, but the pros- pectors of this section were unable to work it on account of its location be- ing on the reservation. Indians, how ever, are permitted to work all min eral-bsarlng ground on the reserve. - Parker Post.

How is Your Boiler?

It has been stated that a mans stomach is his boiler, his body is his engine and his mouth the fire box.

Montana Mine ln-
 spector m Bisbee.

Mir. w. B. Orem, who has for many years been inspector of mines for the State of Montana, is registered at the Copper Queen. Yesterday he visited under ground workers of the Copper Queen Company in Sacramento Hill and saw much there to interest him. He was surprised at the large deposits of ore and their quality. It was little unusual, in his experience, to find ores so friable that he could readily break pieces in his hands, and astonishing, also, to find native copper in many of these. He had thought that all the native copper was practically held in the mines of the Michigan district. Mir. Orem believes much in the electri- fication of mines for the reason that It makes underground conditions much better for the miner, and for the reason that it is cleaner and usually cheaper than steam. He took tenn peratures at several places throughout the levels. In the Butte mines the introduction of electricity, supplanting steam, reduced former temperatures fully fifteen per cent in many places. a most beneficial improvement, and one permitting men to do better work.
 Butte is still adding to former known bodies. North Butte has made fine gains, and it's new lands are described as being very valuable. Of the pros- pect work being done MT. Orem thinks the Rainbow Development company has a fine chance to win. Their shaft is now lO5O feet below surface, a sump is being made, a pump station being cut out and crosscut is now in about 50 feet to reach tho big vein cut on the 500-foot level. An electric pump has Just been started, the shaft making about l5 gallons of waJer per minute. This vein is identical with the one East Butte is making such fine suc- cess in. Butte & London has in the inspectors opinion, a good chance to find ore of com mercial quality and quantity.
 There is much exploring under way, particularly in the northern portion of the camp.
 From Bisbee Mr. Orem is going to Ray, Globe, and also will see Senator Clark's Arizona property. he and the senator being old friends. He thinks Bisbee fine camp and is surprised at it's richness and signs for perm anency. -Bisbee Review.

Rich Ore Find at Grass Roots.

Gold excitement, now new in the Huachucas but stimulated from time to time by now finds of high grade, was given touch of the spectacular the end of last week when discovery was made practically at grass roots of a defined ledge running ounces in the yellow metal and GA ounces silver to the ton.
 The ledge was opened at four diff ferent points in the waterway leading down the canyon from the Hartford mine. Report of the discoveries came here yesterday, when assay returns were received from general samples made from the ledge at points of open. ing. The strikes were made on the property of the Hartford Mining Co. The first was encountered within POO feet of the main working of the mine. The others were little further down the waterway.
 Discovery came about through the employment of a construction shift on bridge building across the waterway. The force was distributed at the four points where bridge erection was planned. The shifts dug down to deepen the water course. At four feet, the first crew struck into the ledge. Its commercial value was ap- parent at glance and the find was sampled. It looked so good that the word was sent down to the other crews to go into the ledge. They too got in- to it quickly. Values at the four points sampled were found to run very close together.
 The ledge is one of several carrying surface values and trending directly into the main workings of the Hart. ford All are known to carry good values, but those found in the strike of the end of the week are the highest of which there has been indication of continuity. The indications are excel lent that these veins merge In the mine area proper, at depth, and It is from this standpoint that the surface findings are considered of interest at thls time by the Hartford people.
 On the outside a different sort of speculation is created by the find. It is reminder to prospectors that there is in the Huachucas an exceed ingly favorable country, wherein all

NOTHING TO THE .

den during the past few days. Il was
rtported that large flow OF gas was
struck. However. a long distance in
quiry at Verden made by the Daily
Express revealed no occasion for ex-
oitement.
II was stated that the test well had
reached a depth OF about 900 feet and
several times during the drilling gas
had been encountered but IN no great
quantities. The finding Of gas is
taken as favorable indication and
the prospectors feel confident that
their efforts will be rewarded before
they go very much deeper.
No news Of a startling character
has been received from any OF the
other tests in this vicinity Drilling
