of Prescott, for large crops of corn and pc tatoes. More acres were planted this yea than ever before, and half crop may giv as much grain as was raised last year, bu the increase of population will cause tn price of both grain and vegetables to b high.
 wILDER's RANCH, At Anvil Rock, was the only one where, ul to the 18th, inst, the frost had done nc damage. With Mir. Wilder, I took ride about 12 miles to the MT. HOPE sAw-MILL, Owned by Sherman & Go. The mill i. we'll located in fine body of pine timber most advantageously situated for numbering operations and cuts 5000 feet per day which is sold for $35 per M.
 A new election pretinct has been estab- lished at this point, where there may be 20 votes boiled. It is the most western pre- cinct in Yavapai County.
 Stopping day or two in Prescott after my return, went to the
 PECK DISTRICT, On business, and was surprised at the differ ence in the appearance of the country, con- pared with this side of the mountains. From the head of Turkey Creek to the Bradshaw mountains, the frost has hardly touched anything. Kethroes corn and po- tatoe fields were as green as ever, and on Battle Flat and War Eagle Creeks, the red, white and blue morning glories covered the ground.
 Operations in the mines are going on quietly and successfully. learned that
 RIGGS AND HAMMOND Are running tunnel in on the vein on their claim on the Tiger and have struck fine galena ore and feel we'll satis- fled. In the Bradshaw Basin,
 LUKE AND COMPANY are working in opening both gold and silver veins, and arc negotiating with outside par ties for the erection of mill.

 PECK MINE, he track through the 24O foot tunnel is in ood working order and the Company is 'king out good quantity of ore. After :, hiking the main shaft seventy feet below I le tunnel, water commenced coming in 'pidly and rose about ten feet in the shaft here 1t now stands, and probably sinking i'll not be resumed until machinery for lmping is procured. High grade ore was ken out below the water level, the pay reak being over feet thick giving great tlsfaction to all interested in the perman- cy of the mine.
 THREE PACK TRAINS re now taking ore from the mine to the ]
 AZTLAN MILL, bout % miles, to fill the contract to deliver o tons at the mill. The splendid results the milling of the ore has already been = blished in the MINER. At Pine Flat, McCloud and others have ,ently opened a gold mine which promises eat results. and were bargaining with par s in town to sink sixty foot shaft for an crest in the mine. Dan Martin has just en packing some of the ore to the nj
