 ASH FORK, August r9th, 1885.
 Through the courtesy of MT. P. w. Beemer, Of this city, your correspon- den. is enabled this week to present the readers of the CHAMPION with a partial list Of the principal mining properties situated in the great Catar- act Mining District. Mir. Beemer has devoted almost the entire summer in prospecting and mining in tha, region, and is therefore in position to furnish reliable information in re- gard to its mineral resources.
 The first mine of any note in the Cataract is situated at Bridal Vail +falls, and IS called the
 CoCoNENo,
 and owned by Reese, Humphry & Co. The first ore shipped from the district was from this mine, and the fact of its returning mill run of S67.5o per ton, nas turned the attention ot the whole county towards Cataract Can on. The mine IS working small force which will be increased soon and large amount of ore is being extracted. Below the Coconeno is located the
 OcAYNA,
 the property of Congressman C. C. Bean. He expects 10 cut the main ledge that crops above some time next month, when one more producer will be added to the already many pro- ducing properties. Adjoining Col. Beans property is the
 CARBON,
 owned by Mir. P. W Beemer, of Ash Fork. It is very fine property and has an abundance of ore in sight and several tons on the dump awaiting shipment, which will be made as soon as facilities for transportation out of the Canon are completed. Adjoining the above IS the
 LITTLE JENNIE,
 owned by Mrs. P. w. Beemet. Some development has been done on this mine which has exposed very fine body of carbonates that give fatter- ing returns. On the opposite side of the Canon from Col. Beans locations are situated the rich properties of the Stone Consolidated Mining Co.,, up- on which great amount of develop ment work is being done. The ore in this company's mines is of the same quality and quantity as contained in the mines above them.
 Mcssrs. Reese and Strickland's S claims are situated upon the same side of the Canon as the Stone Co.,, only lower down. They dre looking well and the owners are confident ol striking 1t ri h before long.
 Down the Canon adjoining the above is the
 CREINAToRY,
 owned by George Banghart, of Chi no valley, and Mir. Masterson, ot Prescott. They are pushing devel- opment with all possible speed and the property IS looking we'll.
 All the above named mines are To- caicd between Bridal Veil and Moon- ey Falls, and there are numerous oth- CTS, the names of which your cores pondent was unable to ascertain. The Cataract carbonate belt Is by TO means confined to the space between the above named falls, put crops out in one huge, continuous ledge from the Bridal Veil Falls to the Grand Canon of the Colorado, where dark and gloomy awe inspiring walls con- ceal it from the eyes of man. Below Mooney Falls are located several first class mines, among which IS that of the Cunning & Mcconnell Co.,, who have in addition to large bodies of carbonates an immense ledge of splen- did looking gold bearing rock, which no doubt runs well. AS yet their re- turns from samples sent away have not been received. There large mum Der of locations between the Cunning Co.'s property and Beaver Falls, and all have ore in more or less quantity. Below Beaver Falls there are also quite large number of very promis ing locations, owned by residents oi Ash Fork.
