 ED. MNER:-It is Q singular fact that the
 majority of the citizens of Prescott are, from
 personal observation, entirely ignorant oi
 the vast mining resources of their County;
 being content with their daily roatine oi
 business ill the narrow limits of their
 ''eagle's nest" where at glance the eye
 takes in as beautiful scenery as Nature can
 paint, thus they pass month after moath
 and year after year without wishing any
 change of place er new field for oauselaelt. Such, l admit, Was the case with mvse!f. and for orer six yeaIs 1 yegLated within a radius oi three mics around the canrt-

To the right, about two miles distant, are the Dosoris, Davis. and Burro silver mines; to the south and down the canyon, about two miles distant. are the Crook mine and mill. The mill is now using five stamps on ore belonging to Mr. Ryan. taken from one of his claims stu ated on Glount Union; to the left short distance Is the [. r. (Union Pacific) mine, which Is considered one of the richest gold leGges in this district, and is developed the entire length of the claim, distance oi 3000 feet. Parallel and immediately north of the U. r. Is the Cash mine, owned by Dave Grubb, and IS rich in cold and silver. but the ore being oi very base and rebellious character prevents working the ores until suitable machinery IS intodruced. Still be- yond are the steam arrastras belonging to Mr. Flint, who erected the same for werk- ing the school of G.ines he has secured on the base Of GlounG Union. which, by the way, IS said to be the highest elevation mined in the Territory. In connection with the several locations of Dir. Ryan, on some of the same leads, this school cf mines pre- sents attractions that capitalists viii Hot long resist.
