Is working its full complement
of men, and extracting the nsnal
amount of ore. During the past
week the ground has been put in
shape for extensive working.
The incline is working smoothly.
HUMMING BIRD.
Following the guidance of Capt
Wm. Wright the foreman of tl
Detroit, our reporter was conduct
ed through the "Humming Bird
claim, which as yet is merely con
sidered as a surface prospect,
being but sixty feet deep at the
lowest workings. Throughout the
various openings limitless quanti
ties of a superior grade of ore is
within reach, and many times the
cost of development has been
taken out The ore body is pre
sumably the same as that in the
Detroit
The Captain is justly proud of
his little claim, as well he may be,
for no other mine in the district
shows np better for the amount of
work performed. (
DETROIT.
Following on still farther, our
guide led us through the va
rious labyrinths of this justly
celebrated mine, where after
clambering and falling over im
mense ore heaps, we finally reach
what might appropriately be
termed the "Bridal Chamber," an
irregular opening about 200 feet
in length by 25 feet in height,
from which thousands of tons of
the very richest of ore has been
extracted, and which has aided
materially in giving fame to this
ine.
The ore bodies extend as deep
as the mine has been worked, a
few feet o'er 200, and they con
tinue on downward with the trend
of the hill, as various small holes
made for tbe purpose indicates.
The roof is a solid mass of con
glomerated iron and copper, and
is as firm as adamant, requiring no
artificial support
The floors throughout the en
tire workings are a bed of ore of
various degrees of richness, and
the strata of rich ores beheld on
every hand is dazzling and beauti
ful beyond comparison.
There are large ore bodies held
in reserve, and tbe mine is so
opened that should the occasion
require it, the force could be
doublod at short notice.

Work is still progressing on the
concentrators. A force of carpen

The smelter, which had been
closed down for several days, hav

fired np again on Saturday night
last, and is now .running in full
blast
The new strike in the South
shaft ia attracting considerable
attention. An eight foot breast
has been opened np, and as far as
penetrated, shows handsomely.
The extent of the strike is as yet
unknown. Choice samples of the
ore will range as high as G5 per
cent copper, whilst tbe average,
taken as it rnns from the skates,
will readily reach 35 per cent
The ore is precisely similar to that
of the best taken from the Detroit
mine.

Yesterday Mr. C. Colvin and his
sister, in fording the Gila near
Curtis, narrowly escaped drown
ing. The late rains have caused
the river to rise somewhat, though
not enough to seem dangerous.
In crossing the river the water
partially floated the wagon and
tipped it over, throwing its occu
pants into the river. ' The lady
was swept down some distance
until she caught hold of a willow
and hung on until Mr. Colvin came
to her assistance. The team es
caped drowning.
We learn that on the same day a
man at Solomonville had a narrow
escape from death in the river, but
saved his life, whilo his horse
drowned.

The incline at the Longfellow,
which suffered considerable dam
age by the recent rains, has been
repaired and is now in working
order. Where the swell in the

time to come. The new embank
ment is a natural 6lope, and no
pressure however strong can pos
sibly effict it

Last Thursday an informal meet
ing was held at the Bassett build
ing, North Clifton, to consider the
expediency of forming some sort
of a literary and social club of
young men about town. The tem
porary President, Mr. Ewart,
called the meeting to order, and
suggestions were made by various
gentlemen. Judge Goodwin spoke
earnestly and well in favor of the
question. Mr. Colquhonn said
that the only way to make a suc
cess was for members to pledge
themselves to furnish something at
stated intervals, and to keep their
promises; that the great drawback
to every society was negligence
and apathy of members. Messrs.
Yankie, Royce, Fulton Torrence
and Scott were heartily in favor of
such a society. Mr. Morse said
that, while cordially appreciating
the value of literary societies in
general, he did not feel hopeful in
this case unless more liberal sup
port was assured. A committee
consisting of Messrs. Goodwin,
Colquhoun and Morse was then
appointed to canvass the town and
report at the next meeting. Mr.
Scott read a pleasant essay on
music Mr. Boyce was prevailed
upon to recite a little poem which
was received with rapturous ap
plause and Mr. Ewart gave the
audience the old favorite Twick
enham Ferry. The next meeting
is to-morrow, Thursday, and every
body is invited to attend and ex
press his sentiments.
