Professor Geo. A. Treadvell has gone

Professor Geo. A. Treadven has gone to the Yulture.
 Over in Tonto Basin there Is 3 splendid mining district being opened up.
 The Montezuna mine at Seymour has furnished considerable back fre-ght tc Maricopa.
 The Chase mill and property on Iur- key Creek, Is highly spoken of. and the predictions are that IL wlll make bullion this winter.
 The Tombstone Mill and Mining Com panv shipped by Wells, Fargo < Co, on Saturday last, two bars of bullion, val ued al si,937.
 T. now seems to be an accepted fact that the strike of the magnificent ore body in the Grand Central is southwest, and not due south. as formerly believed.
 The Tiptop mike IS now developed over S0O feet, showing good walls all the way down and very high grade ore, the average of which has been about SlS0 to the ton.
 Most of the placer miners have left the placers east of Seymour. Eight miners still remain, however, who are working with dry washers. These mines could be successfully worked II water could be obtained
 The PhenIx Gazette says, wagon load of supplies and sever or eight miners were sent out by D. C. King to his copper mines ID the Harcuvar Noun tains. We are promised an extended reporxfrom that section ID few days
 W. B. Hooper < Co. have secured the next wood contract for the Vulture mill and pump. Five thousand cords are to be delivered Co the mill and two thousand to the pump. This contract will furnish much work for men and teams.
 The Howell Smelling works at Pres colt are going up, and some time ID January the reduction of ores will com mence. That section has long felt the want of reduction works such as Mir. Fl. and his associates are putting up. All persons having ores for sale should en- brace the opportunity of selling them to this company.
 Messrs. 4. 4. Alexander and T. J. Ea- man arrived Tn Prescott recently from the Black Warrior mine, ID Peck dIs- trict. Their deepest shaft Is 80 feet below the surface, at which depth they have cut across the ledge. The ore is, of course, rich. Vein larger than at any previous station. They have at work a great many men, and will now increase theIr shipments to Omaha, where their richest ores are worked with splendid results. The Warrior IS owned and operated by New York gen h.e ,-1- with 1t, and who will ere long erect and run reduction works of their own.
 The Vulture mill IS running on full time; 1t never stops more than one day in each month to clean up. The mine Is beIng worked to its full capacity, and still yields its thousands of tons of rich gold bearing quartz. This Is certainly the larges. gold mine ID the West, and its equal can hardly be found. Already the Nulture ls known all over the Terri tory Gs one of the permanent mining camps of the West. MT. Hughes the superintendent of the mlll and mine, has shown himself to be Q strict dis ciplnaran; he requires man to be always on tune and stick to his post of duty during work hours, but being a good judge Of what constitutes a days work be never eIacts more than Is right
 The Hasayampa mines are about F twelve miles south of Prescott. The mountains ID the neighborhond are the highest in central Arizona. Out of them run Hasayampa, Lynx, Big Bug, Fur key and several more creeks. They are heavily tImbered; grass grows every where. Maple gulch, the scenery of which IS magnificent, Is over mile ID length. Balsam fir and other handsome timber grow large and thick on this gulch. Colonel H. A. BigelOw, D. Grubb and other old Arizonans think they have fortunes in gold and silver lodges, and We hope they have. The Peacock mine IS said to have near the 1 surface two and One-haH feet of rock l which IS rch in free gold. Until this l. gold was seen the boys thought their | lodges were all silver bearing. A mine | owned by Mr. David GrUbb in thls vi- | clnlty contains ore that is really worth ! S2b.ooO per ton, ID silver. Of course. ! the ore Of the entire ledge IS not so | -lch, but the S20,O0O streak, which IS 4 several inches thick, makes the nine average very high.
