Every day we receive encouraging news from the Mule mountains. All mining ventures in this district have been so successful that even prospects are eagerly sought for. Although the result of developments in the district has already exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine, there is now a sale on the tapis that, if it comes off, will do much towards boosting up the camp and making it as prominent for the production of silver as it now is for the production of copper. We refer to the purchase now being negotiated for Silver Maiden, Oak Grove, Lottie, Elk, Minnie and Daisy. All these mines are on the southwest slope of the Mule mountains, running with each other, except the Oak Grove, which is an extension of the Mountain King. They crop out boldly and assays from the croppings are very satisfactory, going from $85 to $164 per ton. But little work has been done on any of the mines, 20 feet being the greatest depth attained; yet we are pleased to know that the work done has encouraged the proprietors. Mr. James Gray, formerly of Phenix, is the principal owner.
