A Senora Mine Sold. From parties who arrived last evening 1 from Nacesari, an Orb reportor learns that the Gregg, Normire mining prop erty, consisting of 94 pertinancos, had been sold to John A. Cruse, represent ing the Sonora Investment and Improve ment company. The price paid for the property is said to ba $-15,000 in gold , coin. The property is situated abont , nine miles from Nacosari where tho Mocteiuma company are at work. The claims show up an abundance of , exceedingly rich copper oro on the sur face, so far tho the depth oi tho oro bodies has not been determined, as all the work has bean done on the surfaco From panieu who have seen tho prop erty we learn that if the oro bodies go down tho mines will bo ono of. the big feat and richest in the state of Sonora. . Several other parties wore after tho ; mine and an offer of $40,000 was made . for it about a week prior to to tho price , offered by Mr. Cruse. Mr. Cruse will be iu our city the early , part of next week, when we hope to bo able to give our readers somethiug " , urthr eJIregarding this property and the intentions of the company. J. V.

Sunday afternoon several specimens of rock wore brought up from the bot tom of tho South Ilisbso company's shaft that 1ms created quite a demand for that company's stork during tho past two days. Tho lock ia of u Eoft formation, composed chiefly of lime, iron and spar. The whole .bottom of the ahaft, which is now down to a depth of 450 feet, is in tlits samo formation; several small pieces of copper oro have been found (imbedded iu the formation, which elearlviiuTictfes tho close" p'rox-' .... . "... t lnuiy oi iwi ore uooy, . , Ace rding to tho views of over forty muTcr?, employed in tho Copper Queen inino who huvo been shown tlio rock, the foruiutiou is a first class indication of an oro boy, the same being encoun tered iu many of the Btopos iu the Queen company's workings j ut prior to the finding of tho ore bodies. The speci mens are on exhibition at tho Turf saloon, where tiioy may be seen. From prejont indications, it may not be be but a few days whon the Onu will have tbe pleasure of announcing to its. many readers the opening up a lare lnuiy of ore on this property. It is currently reported that the price Qf the stock will be raised within tho next few days to thirty or forty cents. Most encouraging reports corao from tho Cochise company's propertied. The shaft is now down to a depth of 140 feet and this, morning tho eight hour shift struck into a email body of susphideore. An aseay of ore found iu the shaft sov oral days ago bhows six par cent copper ami $2.50 in gold, besidss eomc silver. A contract is soon to be let for sinking the shaft to the 200-foot level. During the past thirty days over 200, 000 shares of the company's stock has been sold in this vicinity, and orders for stock aro being received ttlmort daily by mail. Tho outlook ia indeed most en couraging, and a raise in the price of this stock may bo" looked for at almost any time. In conversation with Supt Muheim today, that trontloman ex pressed himself as satisfied, and stated that if an oro body is not 'struck within the next fifty days, all indications which lmvo heretofore been relied on Mill prove a failure. Tho company is already making arrangements for the erection of a steam hoist, and is now corresponding with parties for the purchase of the necessary machinory. THE LEAD MARKET. Mining men aro finding considerable encouragement in the steady rise of the lead markot. Even tho most conserva tive now predict that it will reach the 5-cout limit. It would be impossible to estimate what could bo accomplished in the production of tho mineral if the price reaches five' cents and remains at that point. Nearly all tho great silver mines now lying iello will produce a per cont of lead that would pay tho minor to open them againv All theso vast inter ests will undoubtedly becomo product ive if there is a pretty plain indication that the price of tho heavy metal will remain at a substantial figure. In the mining business it is difliult te estimate what tho rise in prico of a few cents means to tho miners and mine owners. For instauce, if there are a few dozen mines that can bo operated on a 4-cent market, thero are probably 100 that would pay to operato on a 5- cent market. The lory grade ore miuoa aro in the great majority, aud whore the market price of a mineral will justify thoir operation it means thousands and millions of dollars will be added to the capital produced. There ia also considerable encourage ment in the general stable condition of the mining stock market. For the past year the riso in stocks has boon steady. Month after month they have contin ued to males hatter showings, until tho presunt ruling pricos h.ivj boon rj ached. The mind owner li-n no room f)r com plaint so far during tho pivsjat year. Every indication nigHos that the pro duction of last year will bo augmented by many millions additional at the close of tho yuar 180'J. Those facts should ba kept bforo the people at all times. Advertising will attract capital aud capital will develop the hundreds ot now mines that would becomo producers at any time if aulfi ciont capital could Iw applied to develop thorn. Dover Tiinas.

Incorporated Uuder tho Laws of the Territory of- Arizona. Capital Stock $5,000,000, (Limited.)

Is it not reasonable to bsliovo that tho property of tho Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such cloo proximity to such a wonderful mine?
