John s. Jones is preparing to build new forty stamp mill in Chaparral Gulch.
 Geo. W. Sines has a mill site graded on Cherry Creek, and ia daily expecting the arrival of ma- ohinery to place on 1t.
 G. ". Hull continues to take rich ore from his mine near Jerome. He has recently taken out three sacks of extraordinary rich ore.
 A deed from W. ". Hill to L. P. DreKler for two thirds interest iE a mining claim near Jerome has been filed for record. the consideration named being $2,66666.
 Under a law passed by the last legislature, . heavy penalty is at- tached to the ''salting' of a mine for the purpose of deceiving any one as to the value of the ore 1t contains.
 They are said to be taking out some very rich ore from the old Peck mine. If silver continues on the up grade till 1t reaches % cents or 6 dollar, Alexandra may again witness her old time activity, as parties who are acquainted with the Peck, have great faith in it yet, and express the belief that its past product can be duplicated in the future.
 There is talk again of the starting of a shelter in Prescott. This has been talked of of and on for years, but the present talk has a business ring about 1t, for the reason that those connected with the pFoposi- tion are practical men, and have the means to carry 1t out. Prescott is in the center of a great mining region, and 1t seems as If reduction works hare would pay well,
 4 twelve horse team attached to a wagon containing an immense boiler, attracted considerable atten- tion on the streets this afternoon. The boiler was one of the largest ever brought to Prescott, and was going to Crook Canyon, to Do placed on the Venezia Miaing Company's property, to run the mill and other machinery connected with the mine. It weighed l0.500 pounds.
 Messrs. Gilmore and BradbuTy have three men sinking on the main shaft of their Zero mine. They are down eighty feet, and have plenty of high grade ore in the bottom. There is winze. sunk from a dEift h the mine, which is 120 feet from tAa surface, and they have good ore in the bottom of 1t, too. They are having a tunnel run by contract to open up the ledge as . depth of 300 feet, which is in loo feet. The own CTS of this property are naturally grati6ed at the advance in the price of silver, as it will very materially enhance the value of their ore.
 From statements in the Denver Mining Record it is evident that Arizona will be in the mining swim this year. A number of eastern syndicates have turned their atten- ton to securing property in the territory, and have sufficient cash Co get anything they want. Several experts have passed through Den yer recently to examine the mining properties down here. and, as re- ports indicate, they have not been idle in tying up a number of good mines.
 The passage of the mining law by the recent legislature seems to have given quite an impetus to the To- cation of mining claims. The law does not take effect until July 1, 1895, and locations can be made previously without one being com pslled to do a certain amount of development work prior to record ing. During the first two days of the present month forty. three loca- ton notices were filed for record twenty of which were for Autograph stone and up to noon today eight had been filed for record making a total of ifty-one notices for the two and half days.
 The Jerome Chronicle reports that three feet Of sulphuret ore has been strrck in Assembiyman G. W, HulPs Green Monster claim, south of Jerome, and one of the group in which the gold strike was made a lew days ago. The suiphuret strike was made in cross cutting the vein, and bow much more of it there is it is hard to say, as the breast of the cross cut Is still In the same kind of ore. Fourteen feet of carbonate ore was encountered and crossed before the sulphuret ore was met. The ore is said to resemble that of the United Verde Copper Cdmpany's mines.
 Cherry Creek district is coming to the front as . gold producer. l Since < Smith have their claim well opened up, and expect to commence turning their ore into bullion Rs soon as they can get their mill up. E. T. Bardshar continues the deTel- opment of claim in the district, which is showing up well. Scammall & Wright have five men at work on the claim they recently leased from L. M. 0lden, and are taking out good ore, Frank Bifeg has sold bis 1 interest recently ia s clsIm in this | and the purchasers propose | to go to work at once. developing it.
 From the number of capitalists snd mining men being attracted to this section, 1t begins to look as if could prevent . general mining boom here. The best of it sll iE too that where capital has been invested snd work prosecuted systematically and for the purpose Sf developing the properties pur- .hssed, rather than for the purpose f stock jobbing schemes, the very test results have been obtained. D nearly every lnst4nea in this see- lon wheFe there has been $ failure, ! hss occurred from the property
