Phenix Herald.

From MT. F. A. Alley, a mining man who has just completed an extended tour of the mining districts between Phenix and Prescott, we are enabled to present Herald readers with the following highly encouraging notes of the mining industry whose success means increased prosperity to Phenix.
 Chas. Champie has run a 50-foot cut and 50-foot winze, on his Little Joseph lode, and is completing a 5O-foot drift, where he will stope at once. The ore will average 1 inches in width and $10O in value per ton in gold. He ships it to Fl Paso. Geo. Sinclair is interested with him.
 Gus Bowers and Tom Wade, three miles east of Champie, in Tip Top district, recently returned from Prescott with S5,OOO in hard cash as the result of 4 months work on their claim. This Is one of the best of their many strikes. that they are constantly making.
 1t is understood that the Phenix Min ing Company purpose to double their present milling capacity oftwenty stamps, making forty stamps in all.
 A good wagon road has just been com pleted from the Grown King to Mime haha Flat, by way of the Tiger mlne' Teams were passing oyer 1t live days ago. This improvement does away with the former method of transportation by pack animals.
 The Tiger is being pumped out and IS men are on the ground, waiting to begin work. They will sink as well as stOpe on the ore reserves already opened up. Nick Palmer, formerly of Congress mlne, Will be superintendent, and work Is to com mence about October Doth.
 Stephen Mott Is working 30 men on the 1 Prince, half mile south of the Peck mine A steam holster was put in Octo- Der 4th The old Tuscumbia mill has been secured for working his ore, which carries silver and some gold. It has ten stamps.
 The Del Paso is running double shift under the management of Jim Listen. | The ore is free gold, and keeps 15 men busy to supply the four stamp mill there | A good lode strike IS reported on Castle Creek by party of Mexicans.
 The new road to the Bradshaws Is pro 1 gressing rapidly and shows substantial construction, with side cuts wherever necessary to prevent washing and secure permanent route.
 Messrs. Farley and Kay, four miles west of Tip Top, on Hum gulch, have re- | paired the old road from their camp and | Champie's to the new Bradshaw road, so that all ore from those two camps can be most expeditiously and economically ship 1 ped to Fhenix.
 Very heavy rains occurred ill that sec ton last week. Cave Creek, the Agua Fria and New River were all running | bank full an event heretofore unheard ot in all MT. A1ey's experience.
 Generally, all over the mining district northwest of Phenix, the outlook Is most promising. Activity is characteristic where previously claims had lain for years neglected Prescott is feeling the change and Phenix will soon open her eyes at the long procession of ore teams arriving daily, upon completion of the Bradshaw rcgd, with which all camps on the south side either have or will at once establish connection.
 Wherever one man on the south side oi those mountains is making good wages twenty men could do the same or better if Phenix had reduction works and a good road to that section. The latter will soon be secured. The reduction works ought to follow this, so that the miner could gel his money here, on the afriyal of ore con signments It would at once SC into circulation here for supplies, and the miner could return to his claim, without waiting for returns from Fl Paso or else where. Thereby the ore output would be correspondingiy increased and the stream of golden wealth pouring into the capital city would acquire that much ad ditional volume
