It was sometime in September, 1887, when Judge J. D. Walker took charge of the Reymert group of mines at De Noon, near Pinal, under contract with MT. J. D. Reymert duly ratified by the board of directors.
 At that time the improvements con- sisted of tunnel run in on the ledge of the America mine a distance of 175 feet, from which little ore was stopped and packed by burros down the mountain to the mill for reduc- ton. The mill was an odd affair, be- ing an accumulation of available parts of different plants and consisted of a battery of ten stamps, a roaster and pans, driven by two small engines that consumed from fifteen to eighteen cords of wood during run of twenty four hours. The roaster was set too low requiring an unnecessary amount of labor i'll transferring the pulp, and, in the.language of one who is familiar with the affairs at that camp, it was "rattle-trap" of mill Besides all these possessions there was large and troublesome indebtedness on hand and affairs were at standstin for lack of further means to prosecute the work.
 To-day the mill contains battery of ten stamps complete, and one of ten stamps ready to start 30 soon as another roaste- is put in place. The roaster has been elevated ten feet, and dust and pulp chambers added; a Corliss engine of 150 horsepower, one of the finest in the Territory, drives all the machinery, and the whole ma chinery of the Hastings mill on Queen Greek, originally costing $75,OOO, was secured a great bargain for $3,OOO. The new power is adequate to run forty stamps and all the machinery necessary to the continuous working of the ores, excepting another roaster, is on hand The new machinery re- uuires between five and six cords of wood daily, a saving over the old of 66 per cent. in fuel
 The mill buildings were almost en- tirely rebuilt. A new boarding house, blacksmith shop, office and dwelling houses that are rented to miners, have been built; a lodging house and boarding house at the mine have been erected shutes at the mine and roads to the mill have been made; over 5000 has been expended in the devel- opment of water supply, which has been ample since starting the last time.
 In the mine, the new works are as follows: a shaft was sunk at the mouth of the old tunnel, distance of 5S feet, when level WAS started and run into the mountain on the ledge a distance of 175 feet. It was also continued 200 feet in the opposite di- rection,. ,.to the surface, and track!!has been laid on which the ore cars bring out all the ore used at the mill. From this level considerable stoping has been done, about one-half of the ground has been stopped and securely timber ed. The ledge on this level has an average width of 26 feet. and the ore is easily broken down with pick and crowbar, without the use of powder.
 The shaft is being sunk deeper, and has reached depth of twenty feet towards level to be run one hundred feet below. The following rough dia- gram shows approximately the present workings of the America mine:
