The Cottonwoods. Wednesday morning, on the 10:30 train for California, says the Yuma Sun, Hon. Robt. M. Stans, Superintendent of La Fortuna Mining and Milling company, went through Yuma in custody of a bar of gold bullion, which by actual weight was worth the enormous sum of $92,535.90. The bar included three days cleanups, or thirty days running of the twenty--stam- p mill of the company. This is the largest months clean-u- p the company has ever made, but they expect to reach the hundred thousand mark before long. The output has increased each month, and the possibilities of the mine seem unlimited. There is not another mine in Arizona or the entire west, working a like number of men, so productive as La Fortuna, and the figures at which it will be sold, if sold at all, $500,000 are none too large. There are many claims in the immediate vicinity of La Fortuna which gave just as good promise of being bonanzas, and with their developing, Yuma county will be the mining section par excellence of the west. ith, The old Oregon property at Alta, upon which a Chicago company has expended considerable money in the present year, reopening the old workings and overhauling the machinery, has been leased until September 1, 1897, to Seward Davis of Sandy.

The contest between McGregor and the Silver King not only involves the surface ground over which the pipe line is laid, but also the right to the water of the Shadow Lake and other water sources. The cutting of the line deprived the Silver King of its water supply, and the result was the closing down of the mine by which niany men were thrown out of employment, hater the break in the line was repaired, but it w feared that the frost had entered the pipes and it is doubtful if water can be gotten through Qntil the weather moderates.

Thomas Busby has returned from the Rafter Range in the northwestern part of Box Elder county, where the mines of the Century company are located. His company is working four men who are opening up the big vein that has been exposed in the Century claim, and which is fourteen feet thick, the material being a partially honeycombed white quartz, an ideal milling proposition, which carries from 1.5 ounces to G.2 ounces gold per ton, and in addition about G ounces of silver. This is the aver age of the vein, but there is a streak against the hanging wall from which assays have been obtained running as high as $500 in gold. The Century groups comprises three individual veins each of good dimensions and values, and the company is now figuring on the preliminaries of a mill which will be erected in the WYOMING. A tunnel 300 feet long is to be driven into the mountain to cut the vein of the Gold Eagle claim, one of the mo3t promising prospects in the new Grand Encampment district. This is the most extensive piece of work yet undertaken in the district, which has shown astonishingly rich gold values from the grass roots. An Arizona Gold Bar. Graphite as a Lubricant. Some years ago, when Prof. Thurston was connected with Stevens Institute, he made a series of experiments to determine with scientific accuracy the value of graphite as a lubricant. He found that under the same number of pounds pressure, and traveling at the same rate of speed, the bearings lubricated with graphite, mixed with enough water to distribute it over the bearings, did nearly three times more work than the best quality of winter sperm oil. He also found that when 15 per cent, by weight, of spring. g graphite was added to the best quality of IDAHO. grease, he was able to run the bearings Last weeks bullion shipments from the De nearly six times longer, at the same high rate of speed.
