 YAvAPAI COUNTY.
 | The United Verde COmpR' y's smelte | is running out sixteen or seventeen ton
 Of copper daily. It is in the Black HI.i. | district. about r miles northeast o
 Prescott. There is apparently DO enc | to the rich ore which awaits reduction by the company.
 The Dosor1s mine, south of Prescott
 is now at a considerable depth, about
 400 feet, glittering with brittle silver
 Never before has it looked so well. Gentlemen who recently examined
 Philip RicharesOn's Gray Eagle mine,
 Bradshaw district, wonder why 1t IS that a mine of its great size and richness is allowed to lie idle, when it might be giving profitable employment to hun dreds of meD.-JOurnsl.
 The Pine Spring mine ol Saturday was down 60 feet, and the ore was richer than it was on the surface. The owners propose to run down 100 feet and then drift each way from the shaft JO feet. When this work is completed then the owners may receive propositions of pur- chase.-Miner.
 FINAL AND CHA COUNTIES
 Coperosity.-Workh has been resumed on thls mine. which is in Casa Grande district. A shaft has been sunk 40 feet on the ledge and from the bottom of this shaft a crosscut 35 feet in length has been made. This cosscut IS all in ore averaging from , to IS per cent. The breast of the crosscut IS still in ore and there is no telling how wide the ore body is.
 The Reward company are still boring ing for water at their mine. in the Casa Grande district. They have attained a depth of 100 feet and struck an ample supply of water for camp purposes. They are drilling n phOrphyry and will continue on down till they strike the contact between this phorphyry and limestone. As near as they can deter mine by the pitch of the formation the contact will occur as depth of 200 or 250 feet and they expect to find an abundance of water for milling purposes when they reach the point Of contact.
 Christmas Gift.-The owners of this mine recently shiped l,26f pounds of ore to the Benson smelter and the re- suit was Sl02 ID silver and Sl3 m gold Fer ton and 60 per cent. lead. The on the mine consists of an incline shaft, sunk on the foot wall to depth of 75 feet, and numerous surface openings on the ledge. There are over 20Otons of good ore on the dump.
 The Pioneer bullion wagon passed Saturday with l5 bars of bullion from the Pioneer mill, valued at S4,379.22. Both mills are running steadily on full time, and the mines are looking better than ever. In the Pioneer tunnel, four feet of frst-class ore has been found and the mill is now running on ore from this strike.
 Pioneer South-Preparatipns are mak- ing for sinking another 100 feet, and opening up the 100 level. A pump of sufficient capacity to keep the shaft | clear of water has just been put in place | at the mine by machinist from San Francisco, SO that there will be no more delay, from water, in the work of sink ing All the stopes and levels in the mine look well, and there IS an abund- ince of ore n sight.
 The Old DOminiOn.-This mine is still ! running one furnace and preparing to 1 start another. This company has also 1 just completed petroleum furnace and l will test its merits as soon as their oil l arrives. Should this experiment prove 1 to be success the growth and prosper ty of the camp will not be contingent l upon the advent of the railroad. It will | reduce the cost of reduction tO such an l extent that even 10 per cent ores can be | worked at a handsome profit

 Ray Copper mine.-This IS, without | doubt, one of the coming copper mines of Arizona We were shown some beau tiful specimens of rich, almost native copper, at the store of l.. Zeckendorf X O., of this city, during the past week. The company who own the Ray is a strong one, and while they have not made their plan public, we have no doubt that developments will he con tinued and the mine put in tirst-class order for extracting ore, Of which there appears to be DO end to its extent and and what Is better than all 1t improves with every foot of depth at tained
