every instance good results are to be chronicled:
 Among the more prominent mines in operation which recalls the palmy days of silver, is the notable life given the Peek. after silence of nearly seventeen years. The resumption of the above is another instance of past folly iR working Yavapai's 's mines, and proves how easily fortunes are overlooked. The present work on this 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 wero never reached, and beyond the shaft, in the north tunnel, 1,OO0 and up as high as 3, 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, eI- cept that the footwall had never been reached. The shaft, 300 feet deep, and all levels are full of water, and pumping ma ehinery is 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 $l ,000,000.
 What persistency will accomplish in min ing is now being demonstrated by York l6 Vanderbilt in their labors of running the Del Pasco tunnel, by which it Is proposed to tap or run under the immense ledge of that name. They have succeeded in run ming in nearly l, 100 feet so far, having less than l50 feet to go before their efforts will have terminated. It is believed that the outcome of this gigantic undertaking will follow the exposing of one of the richest bodies of gold ore in the territory, and back of the worthy promoters of the enterprise Ewnf T. Al Al cannot be too big to reward them for their grit and zeal. This project is particularly noteworthy in mining, first from the fact of the undertaking in the vast sum of money that hss been outlayed 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 invisible wealth of mountain lode to urge them on in solving great problem.
 The Prince, another silver mine of fabu- lous wealth, is being worked by Sutherland and Cummins, who are drifting. The ore they are taking out assays from 800 to 900 ounces per ton. IL is owned in New York.
 On the Emperor. William Kearney has a lease, the ore running from 200to 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 lay in the heart of the Bradshaws, 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 d 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 30 tons of ore at the Del Pssc mill to be treated. This ore will run so free.
 Luckenby and Cavill, between Pine Creek and the Bradshaws, are taking out $35 free ore at the bottom of 50-foot shaft. They feel encouraged over the good appearance of their mine.
 Sam. Case is sinking on his gold mine and feels somewhat enthusiastic. He is down over 90 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 q pretty vein of ore three feet wide, that will average so free. His dump has 200 tons of ors on 1t, while the mine is well opened.
 The Eagle Tail" on Ash Greek, owned by Ed. Brant, IS creating some excitement. He is down but go feet and has strong vein of $40 ore free. Every foot of new ground opened seems to improve the ap pearance 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 development work now outlined is com pleted, the plant will start on steady run The gold belt on which this ground is located is supposed to be the same, and is identical to that on which the famous Crowned King is located.
 On the Cougar, owned by E. s. Junior and bonded to Geo. F. Harrington, a force of eight men are employed. Two shafts of 100 feet in depth each and tunnel so feet long. comprise the development work. The ore assays in gold as high as eight ounces per ton.
 The Eclipse, patented claim owned by R. M. DoughePty, N. c. Sheckels, Smith Brothers and others, and the ledge is of an immense size, running from to F feet, giving $5 per ton in gold and 5l ounces in silver. A shaft 100 feet deep and other prospecting holes is the development.
 On Minnehaha, Mir Marsh has hismiIl in full blast, and the run will be continuous, it is said, the mine being fine looking one, and the ore body increasing in size and richness with depth.
 The Rapid Transit" which runs sl0 in gold and 70 ounces in silver, is now q very active looking mine, having force of f5 miners at work. This property is one of the best known in that region, and is owned by Henkle & Mitchell.
 The Boaz mine is still active and has biz force of men in it, development work going on. This property is under operation by Mir. Ritchie.
 The Rapid Transit South Extension, owned by Rodenburg and kaible is good looking silver ground, and has tunnel in 130 feet.
 The extension south of the War Eagle has a shaft g. feet in ore that runs from four to eight feet wide of 6 concentrating character. This particular belt is attract ing much notice nowadays and the more developed, shows up better. The above ground is owned by Bashford, ROdenourg and the Foster estate, and is patented
 On the same lead as the Gladiator is To- cated the old War Eagle, owned by Lester Jackson, who recently has given his prop erty systematic working, with favorable 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 b5 feet deep, all workings being in good ore of free milling character. The property is very promising looking one.
