 s.bow up." and its first attraction
 .aa,ns to be laid in the prominence
 sttaehed to the discovery of the
 noted Hillside mine. In its past re-
 Istions with this community, and
 for that matter, its present also,
 Eureka district seems to be held in
 somewhat of a contempt, for, singu
 Iarly speaking, it has never been
 aided by even the expenditure of a
 dollar of public funds in its internal
 improvement. The men who have
 come there have blazed the way by
 their own muscle, and are yet doing
 so in order to get out. In spite of
 thls. the district is still creeping
 forward, and the future indicates that it's isolation and its long slumber ia of but short duration. It lays in Western Yavapai, and north of the Santa Maria river. In its mineral oLogical make up, it possesses some remarkable features, the most con spicuous being that of its carbonate ores, which carry 30 per cent. lead, more ore, in short, of this char acter laying in the district, than can be found in the entire county. Con- corning this section and its exist ence in pioneer days. when men in their haste and in their ambition paid no attention to anything ran onto than that known as a big thing, every foot of ground in it has been left behind by numberless prospect ors, with the single exception of John Lawler This gentleman, as it were, "camped on its trail, and with his permanent occupation com menced new life for the district. The success of the latter seems to stir others in the same direction. and though no fortunes may come to the waiting ones, the mines in existence there have a very promis- ing future, and for those, also, who own them. Burro Creek and tribu- tary streams, seems to be very ac- tive, and along them much develop ment work progresses. Among those who make a good showing on vari- ious claims, we hear of:
 Messrs Mcclure, Wilson. Burns, Waters and MArOney. The above people and others scattered throughout the hills, are said to own good prop ertiss, and as depth is reached, universally i'm prove.
