 The mining interests between Phenix | and Prescott and about the latter city l arc taking en yeritabie boom. The ! old Tiger mine, which has stood idle | Tor years, isreportsd sold and will again | be opened up, and when worked it is | one of the best mines in Arizona; the l trouble with it has been water, and the heavy expense to pump fl ont, which | the great cost ei transportation up te the present time wonld net justify. l The great hydraulic proposition near Prescott recently seld by Terri torisl Secretary Hon. N. 0. Murphy and bis brother. Mr. Frank Murphy, ts an English syndicate. will be opened sut and soon form enc of the most ex- tensive and best paying mining props- sitions in the southwest. It involves a large water storage proposition upon which work will soon begin and as to the region te be opera ed upon, it has fer years beea worked ca 8 small scale during the wet season, when water 1 csuld be had. and has been fully de- monstrated to be both extensive and rich. We are pleased to aete in this connection that, while Hou. N. 0. Murphy and his brother have sold the interests ia this. splendid property, they retained sufficient in- terest to make them each fortune. Outside of the winning propositions there are hundreds of others. all valuable, now being pushed, and upon the completion of the Phenix and Pres. cett rail read tae amount and impor- lance sf the mining being done in the rsgien above named will astonish the mining world, and ArizsRa will quickly pull to the position of the first gold and silver producing region in the United 1 States. There is pot the least doubt that she will new rapidly advance to .his peint; all she needs is some good -ee pensibie, legitimate investment and development of her vest re- 'snrces that in the past have been so abused by sharp practices md bare opeu frauds. If our next leg stature is wise, it will enact S oil that sill most thoroughly expose snd punish ascaily mining operations such as lave too often abused that interest in his Territory in the psst.-Herald.
