 did the above district commence to ssbow up," and its first attraction
 seems to be laid in the prominence
 Attached to the discovery of the
 noted Hillside mine. In its past re-
 lations with this community, and
 for that matter, its present also,
 Eureka district seems to be held in
 somewhat of contempt, for, singu
 lsrly speaking, it has never been
 aided by even the expenditure of a
 dollar of public funds in its internal
 improvement. The men who have
 cone there have blazed the way by
 tbeir owh muscle, and are yet doing
 SO in order to get out. ln spite of
 thls, the district is still creeping
 forward, and the future indicates that it's isolation and its long slumber is of but short duration. 1t lays in Western Yavapai, and north of the
 Santa Maria river. In its mineral
 ological make up, 1t possesses some
 remarkable features, the most con
 spicuous being that of it's 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 big thing, every foot of ground m 1t has been left behind by numberless prospect ors, with the single exception of John Lawler. This gentleman, as it were, "camped onits trail, and with his permanent occupation com mencrd 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 m existence there have very promis- ing future, and for those, also, who own them.

 Messrs. Mcclure. Wilson. Burns Waters and MAroney. The above people and others scattered thrOughout the hills, are said to own good prop critics, and as depth is reached. universally i'm prove. The entire district is sadly in need of sportAtion facilities, which n0wadAys servos more as a bla k eye Ca it, than a wildcat transaction would affect others.

 The vast copper mines of John Lawler To- cated here have considerable work done on them, enough prospecting in short is given the group to justify the prediction that at some future date they will yield hand sOmely.
 The Hillside mine, operated under the name of the Seven Stars, is notwlthstand- ing the intricate state it's financial life is cursed with, just as good ground to-day as ever. Practical miners say it's ore bodies are vast and when legitimately handled will fulfill expectations.
