MINES AND MINING
What is Going on in the Various Districts in and
 Around Prescott.

! in the mountains furnishing abund-
 ance ot water for placer miners to
 operate.
 A deed has been filed for record
 which conveys the title of the Gold
 Bow miue from $. Franklin to
 Laurabel Squier.
 Owing to a break in some of the
 machinery, the Crowned King mill
 has been temporarily closed down
 until repairs can be made. It has
 had long successful run.
 The old Dixie mill, on Lynx
 Creek, has been torn down and 6
 new ten si iSmp mill IS being erected
 in its stead, which will be ready to
 run in few days.
 Messrs. Swan, Holiday X Towner
 have the tunnel on their Gold Leaf
 mine. in the Hassayampa district, in
 between 20O and 800 feet. 1t is
 showing up very satisfactory as the
 work progresses.
 Cough x Husted ara taking out
 ear load ol ore for shipment from ! their Husted claim, in the Hasa ! yampa district. This is another ! property that has been paying it's
 way for development work from the very surface.
 Very encouraging reports con ! tinue to be received from the Santa
 Maria district and it promises to ! s.N la. .s- t.. q | territory. A large number of men are engaged there developing various claims and taking out ore | for shipment.
 Charles Born, an enterprising miner from Colorado, who has been at work prospecting in this section, has recently discovered very rich claim m Lynx Creek. The ore is ! gold sulphurets and the vein is wide and strong.
 The mill of the Mescal Milling < Mining Company, on the Hasa yampa, is running day and night on ore from the Hatz & Archibald i group of mines. and the results | obtained are highly satisfactory.
 The Lone Pine group of mines on the Hassayampa, furnish one of the |
 finest opportunities for investment l to be found in Arizona. The ledge l is of immense size and the ore of | good grade.
 The injunction in reference to | the Henrietta mine has been mOdi- l fled SO as to permit the starting up of the mill again, and Joe Mayer | will, accordingly, resume operations next week He was making good | successof the property when stopped by injunction proceedings.
 Henry Murphy is in town today from the Poland and Hamilton mine on Big Bug where he has charge of eight men at work in the mine. He says he is taking out six tons of good shipping orc per day, the ore body being about two feet wide of nearly solid metal. This mine is opening up in very prom ising shape,
 The Jersey Lily train arrived last evening with lot of the richest ore yet taken out of that mine. This property has been a paying one from the grass roots down. The shaft is now down to a depth of 2O0 f,et, and at this depth a drift has been run, which shows up three feet of high grade ore. In fact, the ledge seems to widen and the ore grow richer, the deeper the property is developed.
 The Phenix Gazette very truth fully says that this territory without question, is the grandest mining region in North America. Nowhere in this land is found such a general and thorough distribution of metal liferous wealth as is found in Ari- zona. Every mountain range and peak between the Colorado river and the line of Mexico, and from the territory of Utah to Old Mexico, is impregnated and mineralized more or less, and in most cases the ores are of rich character.
 Our Mineral Wealth of Kingman, has the following to say of the mining law passed by the recent legislature: The new mining law for Arizona, passed by the last legislature is published in full this week. It is law that will compel the tramp mine locator to work his claim or abandon them to some one W ho will The development of the mining sections of Arizona have been much retarded by the human hog who locates everything in sight and sits astride of boulder to wait for purchaser. He will now have to dig or vacate.
 4 correspondent writing to our contemporary from Chaparral, says: "Rybon & Hull have a claim they , are working under lease and bond, about 200 feet northeast from the Jessie. They are working two shifts; are down 35 feet with the shaft and , have 22 inches of ledge that assays , from $40 to $40O. The ledge is 1, strong and we'll defined. They have seven or eight tons of high grade , ore on the dump. Hank Bevering is f in charge. John s. Jones made a , uew strike in the Little Jessie ou z the night of the 18th of two and ' half feet of ore, said to assay S7OO. z He is running 15 stamps night and day on Jessie ore."
 K. Barrett, who is up from Castle Creek reports mining very active in z that section. Superintendent Linds- 2 Iy of the Whipsaw mining company has the ten stamp mill owned by he company running day and night. I The ten stamp mill of the Swallow i. Mining and Milling company is al- ' 90 in full operation and Mir. Barrett 2 nas his mill on the Trade Mark V a considerable portion of S he time.
