 feet from the surface the shaft is cut by the tupnel, which is 300 feet in length 2 and shows good ore from about 100 feet 5 from it's mouth. There are about fifty
 tons of first-class ore on the dump and
 large quantity of second class. The shelter, which IS of twenty ton capacity, is on the bank of Turkey creek. The

 Yavapai Mill and Mining Company
 This is an eastern corporation. Large sums of money have 5een expended IL
 driving a double-track tunnel into the easterly side of the mountain to dis
 tance of 2i0 feet, crossing what was once known as the Hidden Treasure mine, with the intention of tapping the Noun tain Lion vein, 100 feet beyond, al the crossing of the Hidden Treasure vein. A drif: has been run south on the vein 35 feet, showing 5l feet of sohd sulphuret ore.
 The Middy.-Ths mine Is owned by | | Messrs. Chambers and Millekln. Here l they have a shaft down 65 feet. showing l 3ls-foOt vein, carrying free gold and | carbonate of lead. | The Wadley.-This mine is on the | same vein as the Wadleigh mine, and k part of the Lowell Mill and Mining Co.'S | property, this also being individual en
 terprise, instead Of an incorporated com pany If capitalists. Commencing at the | south end of their claim, they have | ' mountain, following the west or hang | | ing wall to the depth of 300 feet. At | the first 100 feet cross-cut was ruu to foot of wall, showing width of 13 feet; at the second 100 feet another crOss-cHt was run, showing 2l feet from wall to | wall At thIs point, to all appearances, | there are three veins coming together, | from which the west vein has been fol- | lowed another loo feet, showing ln the breast of tunnel 1 T, feet of ore, carrying | gold, silver and lead. Two hundred and seventy feet from the mouth of the tun- mel a station has been cut out, and a winze 4xS is being driven down. When We were there 1t had reached depth of If feet, was cribbed up with twO-inch plank, with two compartments, one used l for ladder-way and the other for hoist ing. This winZe Is started from the l5O- foot level and IS intended to be sunk 50 feet and then drifts run north and south, the vein showing full width of winze The car track to the end of the dump iG 375 feet. From the end of the track down the side of the mountain k an ore chute l50 feet in length to ore bin. From this point they have good wagon road graded down the mountain three-fOurths of mile to their mil, which consists of five stamps with power for five more. The mill IS situated on the side of a deep ravlne at the south side of the Iron Clad mine.
 The Iron Mine.-This property or To- cation has four parallel veins passing within the boundaries of the 600 feet in width. Vein No. 1 has a 2O-fOot shaft, three feet from ore house at rear of mill. At that depth water was encountered to h. kb.f A. ,r~ftltTr, Nvrr, I feet of the top, when a two inch pipe was put in, passing down the side of the ravine to a well below, thus forming syphon to draw the water to the well for mIll use when required. This shaft shows foot vein of sulphurets. NeIn No. has a shaft J0 feet, with dip west erly. This vein has inches of sulphur cts and one foot of free gold ore, snd IS about l50 feet from the mill. Vein No. 3 has also a jO-foOt shaft with an easterly dip; 2l5 feet of gold ore, carrying n small quantity of sulphurets. From either No. or No. shafts the ore can be landed into the mill by means of car and track.
 Groom Creek Distriot.-A Prescott gentleman, just from this district, in- formed the Courier that MT. Merrlng- tons mill and concentrator will very soon be taking out gold. The concen- trator is good for about ten tons per cay. Mir. M. has persevered in the good work and will now, we hope, receive his reward.
