ADout lcO Ieet northwest of the Peck an
 running parallel with it is . sister for bi ~ brother) vein, called
 . 1.-THE occIpENr."
 - This vein has been opened at sever, 'e points on the different locations belonging t :, Peck & Co. and shows good ore for dis
 tance 7,5OO feet, or over one mile and a hali ,ss At three different places, when the ownerl
 were scratching on the surface, saw ore a
 rich as any ever taken out of the Peck. e THE SILVER PRINCE.
 'i This mine is about one half mile south e east of the Peck and on the same belt. was not discovered until the latter part O - August, although trail over which my ,, self rode in July, passed within thirty feet of heavy croppings, at the base of which 5000 ore was found on Me surface.
 Several tons of ore that assays up among the thousands have been taken out and shipped; and at seven different openings on the surface, twelve hundred feet apart, there
 is show of uniformly rich ore The Silver
 Prince (singular number) actually consists
 of two parallel veins l20 feet apart, both of
 which show rich ore where opened I saw
 one boulder on the surface that would
 weigh one ton and which, I was informed
 assayed $2,OO0 One-third interest in this
 mine: bought the day of the discovery for
 $500, is now held at the modest price of
 S3oO,OO0. When was last at these mines
 there were only the two poor owners at
 work, but since then they have put on gang of workmen and will ship their second l class ore to Cerbat to be worked in a mill.
 In the vicinity of the Peck and Silver Prince there are several other veins located that show specimens of rich ore, and plenty that assay from Sl0O to $500. One mine is yielding ore which is sufficiently good to n- duce the owner to pack it to the mill on the Hassayampa.
 THE ORIENTAL, A small spur coming into the Peck at right 1 angles, has produced small quantity of ore 1 that assays as high as S6OO per ton.
 On this same belt, about ten miles east of the Peck are located by Peck & Co. two mammoth veins called
 "wALLAcE" AND 'sULpHIpE."
 These two veins run parallel with each other and are about 400 feet apart. One is 30 feet and the other 105 feet wide. The croppings stand up like immense towers, visible for miles. Assay of ore from these veins go from $35 to $50 per ton. No work has been done on them.
 On most of the above named veins claims have been located for miles. The five pros- pectors who discovered the t'eck each loca- ted claim of ,5O0 on the Peck, Occident, Sulphide and Wallace 5000 feet each, or over one mile each of silver mines. They ( ought to appreciate the benefcent laws of Congress respecting mining claims.
 The most recent discovery is
 THE ANTELOPE MINE. This vein is on the same belt as the Peck c md Silver Prince, about eight miles north ast of them and only about four miles from Big Bug Creek. These veins are at this C 'ont cut at right angle by a canon in which re springs of living water-called "Crystal 'prings." The mining district has been il amed Crystal Spring Mining District. The ( roppings stand up above the surrounding e lain about 300 feet, and the vein where t crosses the canon shows a width of about tl oO feet. No assays of the ore has yet been tl 'ade. and all can say is, that it looks like R big strike. With water on the vein and fir le facilities for working in on the face Il the vein rising nearly two feet perpendicu- tf T, even low grade ore ought to pay. About O! vo miles of this vein has been located. h' The Tiger and other mines located on the tf 'uthwcstern end of the belt are too we'll m 1own to need any description of mine.
 Compared with other mining sections. or 'n't hesitate to say that the surface indica- at ons far surpass any of them. To show that sa am not alone in this opinion, an old Cali Or rna, Idaho and Montana pr. spector in re- 30 y to question as to what he thought of an e prospects here, said that he had seen on e surface more and richer ore in one days S. lvel here than he had ever seen in all his .vels his
 FACILITIES FOR WORKING ORES. ha In answer to inquiries on this subject, Se Il only say, that few mining sections af of d equal facilities. Big Bug, Lynx Greek ter l Hassayampa have boundless supply of wi ,e timber, and all of these districts have Int od water powers (available for 4 to 6 Ga nths year) with abundance of water for am purposes the year through. Outsiders tae 10 regard Arizona as an arid desert, and Df' vellers who judge of it by trip across it sta the old Southern Overland Mail, or a ''4 W of the deserts bordering the Colorado :. er. hardly believe me when tell them ooi t l have travelled miles through dense ests of pines. ira' CHANCES FOR MEN OF SMALL MEANS. WI" n answer to inquiries on this point, I o'o' nk 1t safe to sa. that no other mining ntry offers equal inducements. In all C old mining districts large capitalists mo- ton OliZe the chanceS-the hip 6cb daro,. ,n.,
