BRADSHAW BOOMING.
An Interesting Batch of MiGing News from Our Special Cor

] Prescott few days since on a tour. of 1 observation through the Bradshaw 1 mountains, Twas very much surprised to note the great amouat of work that IS being done among the mines, and that great part of 1t is being done by the miners themselves.
 At "Murty" MeDonald's store. on Turkey creek, was sho~n some silver glance ore that he told mo came from mine belonging to Joe Duff. aud which he said assayed over POO ounces. This claim is new discovery, and .bids fair to mske the owner Worlds fair stake. Al the ruseambia mill, Steve Mott ia P unding away 24 hours per day on
 ore that IS said to yield 14o ounces per
 ton. The ore is from the Prince mine,
 which, with the Warrior, which is on the same vein, and adioins ttse Prince, was worked quite extensively years ago when silver was worth over 100, and the Peck mine was in its glory. The Prince and Warrior have not been worked for years until quite re- gently. when MT. Mott secured lease and bond on them and went te work, single handed. to find something. His energy and pluck were rewarded by the discovery of & very rich and extensive
 body Of orc ci the above grade, and he
 has been able te start up the mill, and
 keep it running, too, on this rich ore,
 nd is making dollars from what was
 considered r ayed out mine. No one
 envies hita oI his good fortune. He certainly deserves 1t. aud the oaly ex-
 precision among his neighbors is the wish that 1t may continue.
 After an hours hard climbing up the mountain, 1 reached the summit of the Del Pasco mountain, and was well
 rewarded for the trouble by the unob-
 structed view of the country from tho San Francisco mountains on the north to the Cave creek mountains on the south, the four peaks of the Maza tzsl range and the Picacho peak near Tue son. Passing on over the top of the Del Pssco mountain, arrived at the Old Reliable gold camp, where found about twenty men at work in and around the amp The iour-stamp mill belonging to this company was pound ing away on the rich ores from the various mines, and the two new Frse Vanner tables lately added to the mill
 were working nicely extrscting tho concentrates from the ores after they
 had passed over the copper plates, and had their free values extracted. This
 is one of the most thoroughly equipped mining camps have ever visited in the | territory. They have everything needed I for the proper working oi their ore u p l to the full capacity Of the mill, which however is entirely too small for the mines. The owners are not stopping | pound of orr, the work being confined
 strictly to systematic development tf
 the various properties belonging to the group, of which there are ten. The
 owners have opened excellent wagon 1 roads to all of the mines, erected ere chutes where necessary, built trestle
 trans across the gulch to the mill, and
 have one of the most complete mills of
 it's cspssity in the country, so far as avn
 informed. The product of these mines
 has been returned directly to the mines | in workmanlike development of the en-
 tire group, and the property certainly
 shows it, and IS now sufficiently devel-
 oped to warrant the erection of a large
 mill and concentrating plant on the
 ground.
 My Eext stop was at the Crowned King group. Here l found the com
 pany were replacing their old mortars
 with new ones of an approved pattern
 nd in the meantime they are concen
 trating their tailings pit, in which there
 are many thousands ot dollars, A
