THE LINING OUTLOOK

Reports from the different mining distrjcts in the Territory are very promising. Prospecting for new mines is being carried on with energy and vigor. In Mohave county the Cedar Valley mill will soon be crushing ore and also the McCracAen. This county has, through bad man. agement alone. suffered more than any other section in the Territory. Her mines, though perhaps not as rich as those of other localities, are large, and facilities for working them successfully are near at hand, but through the wiles of stock jof- bers, her mines have lain dormant, and confidence in them has been lost Within the past few months her re- sources have been placed before the people of the East, who have taken hold Of her property, and shortly stream of bullion will be sent forth as the result of having honest men working her mines Yavapai county still sends good reports from the numerous rich lodges within her borders. The Tiger, Tip-Top, and Peck are daily turning out silver bricks, and soon two other mills will he following the same example The Cherry Creek mill is rapidly ap preaching completion, and will soon make glad the hearts of its owners The mines in the Globe district are being developed with energy. and are yielding handsome returns The Tombstone country still continues to ship bullion to Philadelphia; one company alone having sent over S1OO,OO0 since June The mining industries of this district are very promising indeed. and when the two mills now in process of erection arc completed she will astonish her older neighbors. The Yulture mine at Seymour is turning out to be the big bonanza of the Territory. A few days since rich body of ore was struck, and indications point that it will be a permanent one Ore that will yield $40 per ton is considered to be very rich gold mine, and as q considerable part of this mine will cn that amount, it is safe to say that with proper management on the part of it's owners, the Vulture will be the leading mine in the Territory. Over S4O0O, in gold, was brought into town on Monday, and that amount was disbursed the following day in our city for supplies. The Cave Creek mill still lies idle, not for the want of ore to be crushed, but from, as we are informed, mismanagement. With but few exceptions there is not mine in this Territory that has been zaaaIiled by sG-callea California cap itaists, but what has failed. They secured few mines, incorporated, sold stock, filled their pockets, and let the mine go. The result has been different with the mines placed in the hands of eastern men, They pur- chased knowingly, sent experts here to examine the property, and on their report have erected costly mills, that will soon return in gold and silver bars the money expended in their construction, besides speaking louder than words for the richness of the Territory. The Tonto Basin country is now a field of some excellent mines, some exceedingly rich veins having been discovered there recently. Large bodies of copper ore have re- gently been discovered in the south eastern part of the Territory that will be mines of great wealth. Taking all things into consideration, Arizona enters upon hopeful and prosperous future, and if legitimate mining will suuercede mismanagement, she will take the rank of being the leading bullion producer of the Pacific coast. On the first and fourth pages of this issue will be found several extracts taken from our eastern exchanges, that will pay perusal, showing clearly that the resources of Arizona are being brought more prominently before tho eastern public than any section of the Pacific Coast,
