VERDE.

Located m this district are many desirable looking properties, this section. in short, taking its cue from the mammoth mines of the United Verde Company, mention of which will be found elsewhere. Activity is prevailing in consequence, and aside from the development work going on on many new claims, the district promises to still further startle the mineral world on the scale outlined in the work of the United Verde Gold, Silver and Copper Mining Company, an enterprise under the foundation of G. w. Hull, of Je- rome. or this latter gentleman and his steadfast fidelity to that particu- lar scope of country, and his pro phecy made over twenty years ago that time would so fulfill it, many old timers still recall what from dream has terminated into a realty of the most startling magnitude:
 Mr. Hull at present has desirable ground, that is the locations he has incorporated into the above syndicate number fourteen claims and adjoin or surround the United Verde Copper Company's mines. On this property in the past two years over SSS,OOo in development work has been expended, and in the various workings shown, while no immense ore bodies are tO be seen there IS nevertheless guarantee that the work has progressed satisfactorily and ls proving the most of the undertakings. The deepest workings on the above is a 200 foot shaft, with other outs and a system of tunnels, Che ore exposed so far laying in bodies. to tap the main ledge is now the motive, and with it's completion, good results will undoubtedly occur. Mir Hulfs interest in the group is now bargained for, $lSo ,0OO being the stipulated price, Prentis < Can non having the refusal of the grOdnd. The first payment is to be made in August next.
 Near Jerome, on the Wonder and Tough nut mines. George l.. Cheernann has a roller mill in steady operation. Reports say the lead now being worked on IS good one, and with improved machinery to handle the concentrates, the showing to be made will be increased many fold.
 It is the firm belief of many men versed In mining, that the range of mountains in that section, are as yet in their infant min- eral state, and when delved into, astOnish ing results will follow.
 IRON SPRINGS.
 This place is located about six miles northwest of Prescott, and is new arrival in the mineral home ol Yaaapai., It attracted some atten- tion on the discovery of the "Last Chance" and though young, is talk ing care of itself.

 BIG BUG.
 This district has been somewhat bushwhacked, to use a western phrase, being among the first to bt run oyer and over in the early days and the scene of much active life and the production of an iulmense amount of the yellow metal, in placer and quartz mining. Like all gold sections, it met the inevitable fate which encircled the rest when silver was at its highest, being com paratively abandoned It is back to its first love again, so to speah, and were it not due to some ruthless cause, which created Chaparral, Big Bug would assume it old time ring and glory. But, notwithstanding her loss, she has good properties, and they are commencing to speak
