 most sanguine friends. Indeed it
 wealth producing power cannot b,
 fully understood as yet while st many of its mines are still unde voloped, and tested by assay only and so few mills are in operation tC l produce the bullion that the mine. 1 are capable of furnishing. As the tourist goes through the mountains in every direction from Globe city he finds the out-crcppings of lodges varying from few feet to q hundred feet in width. These lodges can readily be traced for miles, In many instances across ravines and over mountain tops, and show such VAST DEPOSIT OF MINERAL WEALTH as is rarely seen.
 Hitherto the facilities for milling have been inadequate, and are so still, if the owners of mines would work them for the legitimate pur- pose of producing money by actual toll. This is lesson the miners of Arizona must sooner or later learn If the Territory is to ever become famous as rich mineral region. Capitalists will not buy mines at anything like fair valuation unless they have been shown by actual mill test to possess more than mere spec ulative value
 Happily tor the District, there Is now fair prospect that the mills will be able to furnish miners with facilities for testing the real value cf their property by actual production.
 THE ISABELLA MILL
 is now running on custom ore, and the results are such as to fill even the most doubtful with hope as to the future. of the mines in this region. When the mill was first erected it was hastily constructed, and the re- suits were anything but satisfactory. In the month of June, the mill, run
  under the present management, pro- duced only 1892 ounces of bullion. Major Sisson, the present superin- tendcnt. not being satisfied with'the esult-not paying expenses in fact began to reconstruct the mill so as to be worked more economically by au- .cmatic handling of the ore, and SO in- creased the capacity of the mill that he results have given a new impulse o the mining interests of this local fly. The month of July and nearly he whole of August were spent in kis work of repairing, and durin z he last two weeks they have worked ninety tons of ore, producing 20, 430 ounces of bullion They guarantee o the owners of ore 80 per cent of the assay value, and charge $45.0O per on for crushing. At present they l are running but five stamps, but the 1 company have in contemplation the ! putting in of as many more, thereby 1 doubling the capacity of the mill at | put very little additional expense.
 The little mill is marvellous sue ess, and will solve the problem of | he mining interest of this section h addition to thIs there is a pros. 'ect of fo1r other mills being erected oon. The Miama mill, recently will probably be rebuilt at nce. A mill to work the ore of the Mexican mine will also soon be rected. Also one st Richmond Basin where they are now digging he well, and laying the foundation Or the machinery. One or two 'thers are spoken of, azd steam hoist, ns works arc being put up on the 1cCormicK niines = s .ss> = -. lss These improvements will largely ScEEAsE THE BULLIoN PRoDUc-
 TON,
 nd greatly add to the present envi- ble reputation of the mines of this icinity. The daily production of edith is. after all the only safe andard of value, and this is HOW be- ,g realized. Messrs. Eaton and alley have just had worked in the 'abclla mill, from the dump of the escue mine, twenty-nine tons of ore, le result was 15, 296 ounces of silver lllion of quality from $50 to $50 nc and worth, at the standard value, / l9, 313. This ;ulliOn is now on its ay to San Francisco, and will have e effect of attracting the attention capitalists to the hidden wealth of rizona. |
