The weekly Arizona miner., 1873-04-05
Prof. Eiler's Report.

In compliance with request of many Ari- zona miners, and for general information, we commence this week the publication of Prof. A. Eicr's report on the minerals of Arizona. The Professor was the deputy of R. w.. Raymond, L. $. Commissioner of Mining Statistics, and made as careful and extensive an exan,inston of this Territory as tue time at his disposal would allow. Mir Eilcr's visit was made in 1870, and our rcalcrs must bear in mind that the mines which have at- tracted most attention in Wallapai district, in Mohave county, and in Bradshaw noun tains, in Yavapai county, were undiscovered at that time. The changes of the past three years have been very marked. Most of th, mines mentioned by Mr. Eilers in northerr Arizona had been located and worked as golt miners and are now hardly ever mentioned while our silver lodcs occupy all the atten ton of the mining public Three towns 1T the old Sacramento district. (now called Wal " farai district), Cerbat. Mineral Park, anC Chloride, containing coo to TOO inhabitants have been built since 1870 Sme!tint fsrpaees are in operation there, and thougl some of the lodes located in '64, 'G5 and '6' still hold good place, new lodes like the '65 Cupel, Little Tiger, Irish Boy. and Fairfield aTc Iut fUtS UO,I "OIhtI UT tbt ttifa range of mountains, while south of that range two new districts have been formed, r which lodes of extraordinary richness ir chloride ores have been found.
 The rich chloride ores found in the Ben jamin, Cornucopia, Buck, Spruce Mountain Bismarck, Heather Chinee and others, only seven miles from Prescott, were not seen by MT Eilers.
 The Davis mine, large silver vein or which thousands of dollars have been eX pended since 570, l2 miles from Prescott and one of the most promising lOdes north o Bradshaw. was then unopened.
 Tn Bradshaw Mir. Ellers found the De Pasco the mine of most interest. Now, the Del Pasco mill is working ore from the Wa Eagle, a mine of much larger size and value
 The Tiger, Benton, Lorcna, Eclipse, Grey Eagle, and other mines of less note, on tho south slope of Bradshaw mountains, MT Eile-s did not co.
 The Tiger known all over the Paciti' coast, by che richness of its ore in free silver has three saaGs sunk on the original claim rs@pe tige.s i. 20 and no feet deep, and has 500 tou- of S7j to Sl0O ore on the dump awaiting he rection of a mill.
 The same ate of affairs exists all over tn, Territory
 While tHe mines which induced settlers il Arlzona to stop here ten years ago, are good. now as then, and must in time ado vastly to the bullion product of Arizona yet they are to-day unnoticed, and all ou labor is being expended on the more recen and richer discoveries of silver ores.
 The discoveries of coal and precious stone in northeastern Arizona, within the two past years, were as unexpected as they were grati lying, and will help to assist in the develop meht of the country.
 Still large portion of Arizona is unex plored The late success of General Crool in subjugating the Apaches has given new life to our people, and as the Territory be comes daily more and more safe for the set tier and prospector, SO do we expect nor, emigration and more discovery and develop ment of the rich minerals of Arizona.
