 aggerated reports, there is still un- doubted evidence that mining in Ari- zona is increasing on a sound basis. Intelligence shows this to be true as to each county in the Territory. Not only are there new and rich discov- cries being made, but mines that have been unworked for some years owing to bad management and other causes are being reoccupied and furnished with reduction works.
 A couple of years ago, Mohave coun- ty was producing much bullion, but the Signal and McCracken Companies failed, and there seemed to be general suspension of production in that coun- ty, now there is a mill running with success at Mineral Park, new one on the way to the Congress mine in Cedar valley and efforts are being made to put the McCrackin in motion,
 Yavapai has largely increased her milling facilities within a year, and the Tip Top which seemed to be en-
 barrassed or short of an assured sue cess, is sending out a steady stream of
 bullion. The Peck would evidently yield much more, if its legal milling were effectually finished. The Tigers
 new mill and hoisting works are just put in operation and are reported working finely and the richness and quantity of the ore seem well proven. The Tiger mill is entirely new and therefore an addition to the gains of former years, and it is the work of very careful and able mining men.
 Maricopa claims part of the progress in Globe District and the new and rich Meyers District, south of Gila Bend, which has lately been opened the new organization, mill and works on the temporarily abandoned Vul- ture and Golden Star mill at Cave creek. The gain in Maricopa during six months, may be said to consist of the proven richness of Myers District and the new mill and works on the Vulture. It is also believed that thel Golden Star mill will soon give it's own. CTS profits. Its temporary embarrass- ment Mir. Hellings says was mainly brought about by law suits.
 Pinal has been unfortunate in thel loss of two quartz-mills by fire, but itl has progressed in development and from present reports in production. The Silver Kings reputed richness and vast extent are fully established and all doubters seem to be silenced. It's production goes steadily on. Itl has just had new hoisting works add ed, five more stamps added to the mill and now comes the machinery to re- duce the concentrations to bullion onl the ground and thus give the county the benefit of larger and more ire quent shipments of bullion instead of " concentrations" Men of capital who mean true development have recently purchased what is believed to be very rich claims in Pioneer District. Thel Stonewall mill in Globe has recently started up and as per reports, is yield ing largely. A great deal of favorableI development has been accomplished within six months in Globe. It is be- lieved the late rich find by Wallaston and Peabody near the San Pedro is in Pinal.
 Apache county is mostly timbered, grazing and agricultural one, but its Copper Mountain District is steadily increasing its yield of copper, and the Longfellow Company has recently brought material and is constructing a railroad seven miles long to carry ore from the mines to the furnaces. This mine and works employ directly and indirectly 1000 men, and every year the production of copper is in- creased. In April last, Gold Noun tain Mining District was formed just north of Clifton, site of the copper works, and the miners are taking out al great deal of gold along the FriscoI river.
 Yuma county is also picking up-I old mines being again made produc- tive and new ones discovered. Latelyl we, with pleasure, observe more and heavier shipments of ore from Castle Dome. Silver District is new and prospects encouragingly. Some Sanl Francisco men have relocated mines not far from Tyson's Wells and J.. Traves is on the ground taking steps to procure patent and renew develop ment The loss of the freighting busi- ness at her river towns has greatly stimulated mining, and the prospect is that ere long, with railway facilities to attract capital and quickly shipI ores to market, Yuma will attain de- gree of reliable prosperity above any thing it has ever had.
 Now comes Pima with the most re- markable mining developments and actual production. Before the end of the year. our production bids fair to reach s1OO.OOO per week. The Tomb stone Company's mill is producingl but not as much as it will when thel smelter is added. The Corbin mill will be ready for production in threei
