County Recorder c. H. Akers return.
 cd Saturday evening from trip to the
 Bradshaw country, and was hunted up
 by the JorRsAL-MIsER scribe yes.er-
 day, and interviewed in regard to his
 trip. He was very enthusiastic over
 the mining outlook, both in the Brad
 sisw mountains and in Turkey Greek
 district He says he found twenty
 five men at work for s. l. Mott in and
 about the Silver Prince mine. He was
 shown through the various openings of
 the mine by Foreman James Young,
 and says it is looking splendid. an
 abundance of ore being in sight. The
 force will be increased soon in this
 snine. snd q force of men will also be
 put at work on the Black Warrior. on which Mir. Mott also has lease, and
 the ore from the two properties will be worked in the Tuscunih hia mill. He ex- Pectr to start the mill up op Friday of this wceA. Since taking his lease on these mines, Air. Mott has sunk about ID feet in good orc all the way, the ore running from ss00 to tl 900 per tou in silver. -Four drifts have also been run from the shaft, each about fifty feet long. which show up the same charso- ter of ore. Mir Akers thinks tha, the lessee has bonanza in these two prop. critics.
 He found w. A. Rowe working away developing ledge iron twenty to thirty feet wide. and which carries ore the entire width. averaging from 50 10 $50 ger ton. in silver.
 At the Crowned King he found the mill running. The mine is well opened up by . tunnel l, ,4eo feet long, cutting the ledge at depth of 5000 10 3,o0e feet. Of this length 1000 feet of the tunnel is h ore six feet wide. He con elders this one Of the largest properties in Arizona.
 J. h. Liston had closed down hts Del Pasco mill. for the purpose oi put t,ng in new C. ncentrstors, but the mines wped by him and his firm are looking splendid. Large bodies of ore containing good percentage of free gold is exposed in the Old Reliable, while the Wild Flower and others show uP we'll in easy concentrating ore. The Del Pascc camp is probably the highest mining camp in the couu.y, and dur ing his visit there last week he said tha, s fire Was s necessity 10 comfort at night.
 E. $. Junior and Mr. Bittingham were working away developing their properties, while on every h nd he | heard good words for the Rapid Tram sit, which has been developed by Jacob Henkle.
 At Alexandra he found Hon. E. l.. Gobin doing A lucrative mercantile | business, while Patrick Donlsn's hotel, the finest and best in any mining camp Il in tLe territory, was crowded with | guests. He estimates that m that sec ton within radius of twenty. five miles there are no less than 4oo men mploy- ed at present in mining. and the out. look was nev, brighter.
 Turkey creek was also found pres porous, number of men being engaged in mining with success there. The pride of that section Is fine garden and fruii-besring orchard, owned by Mrs. Randolph.
 The great cry from the Bradshaw country to Prescott though is for bet ter wagon roads.
 At tho Senator camp he says there are about 60 men employed developing the mine. No ore is being taken out except what IS taken in sinking shafts, running drifts and doing development work generally. A portion Of the ma chinesy for the new mill to bc erected soon had arrived and the work of grading for the foundation was in progress.
 Mir. Akers says that one can not have an adeq uste idea of the geeat ini- psrtapee of the mining interests south of Prescott uniess he visits them in per son. Being formerly engaged in the mining business, his judgment on mat ters of that kind is good.
