| us greatness IS aJ nanu, Scattefet
 around her numberless hills, many
 mines are being worked, and il
 every instance good results are tC
 be chronicled:
 Among the more prominent mines iT ! operation which recalls the palmy days oi silver, ia the notable life giyen the Peck after silence of nearly seventeen years
 The resumption of the above is another
 instance of past folly ia working Yavapai's mines, and proves how easily fortunes are
 overlooked. The present work on thia property, undertaken with view of clear ing the workings of water, has resulted in the discovery that in the early workings of the mine the foOtwalls were never reached, and beyond the ahaft, in the north tunnel. l,0OG and up as high as s, 200 ounce ore is be- ing uncovered. No stoping was ever done between the north and south tunnel north of the shaft, and while the vein there is scattered, indications point to a solid ore body. Where the present rich ore is being taken out, there was nothing to show. ex- cept that the footwall had never been reached. The shaft, 300 feet deep, and all levels are full of water, and pumping ma chinery ia now being placed to drain the mine. The property is under the superin- tendency of Mark Murphy. an experienced miner of Colorado. This mine has produced oyer SI y0000Oo.
 What persisteney will accomplish in mig ing is now being demonstrated by York 6 Vanderbilt in their labors of running the Del Paseo tunnel. by which it is proposed to tap or run under Che immense ledge of that name. They have succeeded in run ming in nearly 100 feet 80 far, having less than l50 feet to 70 before their efforts will have terminated. It is believed that the outcome of this gigantic undertaking win follow the exposing of one of the richest bodies of gold ore in the territory, and back of the worthy promoters of the enterprise there follows . sincere hope that the find cannot be too big to reward them for their grit and zeal. This project ia particularly noteworthy in mining, first from the fact of the undertaking m the vast sum of money that has been outlaysd without a cent in return; and second, it demonstrates that the characteristics of men of moderate means, who risk their money and their labor, has back of it only the invisilae wealth of a mountain lode to urge them on in solving great problem.
 The Prince, another silver mine of fabu. ious wealth, is being worked by Sutherland and Cammins, whO are drifting. The ore they arc taking out assays from 500 to 900 ounces per ton. It isowned in New York.
 On the Emperor William Kearney has lease, the ore running from 200 to 800 ounces. Pat. Donlan owns the property.
 The Del Pasco group consists of eleven claims. developed by over 2,000 feet of tun- nels, shafts, cuts and other prospecting holes. These claims lRY in the heart of the Bradshsws, and are located on the gigantic mineral belt that cuts through that section. They are valuable property and have been thoroughly tested by the mill On the ground, Their ores are free milling and concentra- ting. Bashford 4 Burmister are the owners of the above, while James Liston is the superintendent.
 On Pine Greek, Captain Pursely is work ing gold claim with good success, having 60 tons of ore at the Del Paso mill to be treated. This ore will run go free.
 Iueksnby and Csyill, between Pine Greek and the Bradshaws, are taking out $S5 free ore at the bottom of a aofOot shaft. They feel encouraged over the good appearance of their mine.
 Sam. Case is sinking on hisgold mine and feels somewhat enthusiastic. He is down over 30 feet, and will mill big batch at the Del Pasco.
 The ''Buster' mine of John Forbes, is one of the excellent looking properties in the mountain, having pretty vein of ore three feet wide, that will average go free. His dump has 200 tons of ore on it, while the mine is well opened.
 The Eagle Tail" on Ash Greek, owned by Ed. Brant, IS creating some excitement. He is down but 60 feet and has a strong vein of $40 ore free. Every foot of new ground opened seems to improve the ap pearanee Of the mine.
 The Gladiator has a force of six men at work driving the tunnel in. The mill on the same is idle at present, but when the 1as.u usRrE aufisnaA fE pleted, the plant will start on a steady run. The gold belt on which this ground is located is supposed to be the same, and is identical to that on which she famous Crowned King is located.
 On the Cougar, owned by K. s. Junior and bonded to Geo. P. Harrington, a force of eight men are employed. Two shafts of 100 feet in depth each and tunnel SO0 feet long, comprise the development work. The ore assays in gold ss high as eight ounces per ton.
 The Eclipse, a patented claim owned by R. M. Dougherty, N. c. Sheckels Smith Brothers and others, and the ledge is of an immense sire, running from to r feet, giving $5 per ton in gold and 5I ounces in silver. A shaft 100 feet deep and other holes is the development.
 On Minnehaha, Mir. Marsh has his mill in full blast, and the run will be continuous, it | is said, the mine being fine looking one, and the orc body increasing in size and l richness with depth.
 The Rapid Transit which runs $40 in l gold and 40 ounces in silver, Is now a very active looking mine, having force of l5 ! miners at work. This property is one of | the best known iE that region, and is sowned ] by Henkle & Mitchell.
 The Boaz mine is still active and has a ! big force of men in it, development work l going on. This property is under operation 1 by Mir. Ritchie.
 The Rapid Transit South Extension, owned by Rodenburg and Rsible is good l looking silver ground, and has a tunnel in I l30 feet.
 The extension south of the War Eagle | has 6 shaft S2 feet in ore that runs from | four to eight feet wide of a concentrating character. This particular belt is attract \ ing much notice nowadays and the more l developed, shcxs up better. The above | ground is owned by Bashford, Rodenburg l and the Foster estate, and is patented.
 On the same lead as the Gladiator is lo- eAted the old War Eagle, owned by Lester | Jackson, who recently has given his prop erty a systematic working, with favorable l results. There is a tunnel 240 feet in length | that taps the vein at a depth of no feet, | while at another point there is shaft 66 | feet deep, all workings being in good ore of a free milling character. The property is l very promising looking one.
