The McNary group in this district attracts es- pecial notice from the fact that cinnsbar ore ls extensively found therein. and as deyeloped, shows up wonderfully. Tests given run from ih to 70 per cent in quicksilver. There are eleven in this group. the ore body appearing in immense that range from to POO feet across. The gold claims of the above arc also we'll spoken of, con sisting of five locations. A mill run of five tons gave $50 per ton free from 15-inch vein. The above property has been bonded to P. D.

fla mine is good enough to liti- gate over or fight for, it seems to have more consideration or merit, is an old belief in Pacific Coast min ing annals. So, in accordance with tbis state of affairs, if a whole dis trict IS fought for and won, it must necessarily follow that it, too, is desirable locality to select for its mineral treasures. This has been the history of the above locality, for, in 1888. it is here that the Apache stood his ground and fought vainly and defantly to keep the pale face from jumping" his claim. Under the leadership of John Ellis and Capt. Jenks, party located the old "Comet" ledge, and commenced sinking on the same. From the day of the discovery of this mine until the final defeat of the Indian, an incessant warfare was waged against the whites, terminating, finally, in all hands leaving. The mine was worked. however, put soon "petered out" This district to-day IS still fighting, and will again win, judging it by the good outlook of its many properties, some of which are men toned below:

THE JKRsKY LILY.

For the amount of work accomplished. and the seeming wealth that the ore body gives to one who views it in the above mine, like it's name serves to impress one, is also a beauty in mining annals, and deserves more than a passing notice. It has been worked but one and one-haif years, and that at intervals, showing depth of 2OO feet at the present, and with over 1000 feet of underground development in levels, drifts, stopes and the like, The develop ing of this mine seems to have been more the intention of its owners than the ques
 tion of it's output, and with that idea in view the work has been carried out on that line. In surface excavations in this mine peculiar combination of honey comb ore was uncovered, running as high as S1.OOO per ton, and never less than $l00, which gave the property from the start something more than common consideration. When a depth of no feet was reached, the orc changed to sulphide, holding it's own, how ever, in the size of the vein. Since then operation of the property has been very ex
 pensiye, no output of it's ore following, while a force of twenty miners has been steadily employed. The property again jumps into prominence as a result of recent work, and Rs greater depth is reached, here also confronts one the same fact which pre- vails with others blessed with extensive de- velOpment work. while the upper workings show good sized bodies of sulphuret ores, The result of drifting on the 9OO-foot level to the south has been the means of uncov- ering body of ore, in extent no one knows or cares to speculate on. It's width meas ures not less than ten feet across, with the
 foot wall as yet not visible. In the north
 drift on the same level, the vein continues to widen also, as worked, being not less than three feet, at the present, of solid sul- phurets. This mine has a fine future to face it, and development gives 1t the guarantee of still further greatness in the

 The above is experiencing the same degree of activity that gold mining seems to stimulate others, and is rendering weekly statement that is cheering. It is located 32 miles from this city ia northerly direction and is blessed with an abundance of wood and water, be- sides a climate that gives to the operation of it's mines no source of annoyance whatever the year round. This district is a bonafde mining one, and if not yet so eonspicuously handled in "boomy" talk as some others seem to be, it IS, nevertheless very active and energetic sup porter of it's county:

This district has been somewhat buskwhacked, to use 6 western phrase, being among the first to be run over and over in the early days, and the scene of much active life and the production of an immense amount of the yellow metal, in placer and quartz mining. Like ali gold sections, it met the inevitable fate which eneineled the rest when silver was at its highest, being com paratively abandoned 1t is back to its first love again, so to speak, and were it not due to some ruthless cause, which created Chaparral, Big Bug would assume it old time ring and glory.

THE UNITED VERDE.

It is the claim of Arizona, and profoundly So for Yayapsi county, that the greatest producing piece of mineral ground in the universe is located at Jerome. In fact, tt is so generously acknowledged to rank 80 that it's claim is beyond contention. It is as peculiar in its magnitude as it is varied in it's riches, carrying gold, silver and copper, either one of which metals, it is said, would sustain it in the hourishing life it enjoys. The ore body in this mine-it is a noun tainous deposit, in short. in extent, no human dares to comprehend. ages facing its future life of usefulness and activity. When hundreds of thousands of dollars is seen to face one in improved machinery to smelt and refine it's product, when a railroad over thirty miles long is built to transport solely
 its soutput, together with the general thrift ness of camp that supports over thous- and souls, a faint conception is given one of it's present and future life. Hon. W. A..

MARTINEZ.

From the success that IS attending the operation of the Congress mine, in the above district, the few loca- tions noticed in close proximity to the above property, naturally attract attention. The district is an old one and possesses some good looking claims, among them the following:
 James O'Hara and Judge J. J. Hawkins own the westerly extension of the Congress, called the Bellevue, which lately has had considerable development work done upOa it, with good showing. On one portion of the ledge there are two shafts, one li2 and the other 15 feet deep, whie at another point s foot hole Is to be seen. Considering the depth on this ground the show ing is . good one, pay streak from 10 inches 70 three feet appearing and in sin king lately the ore body changed in the last twelve feet for the bet ter decidedly, The ore is a good grade of sul- phuret being identical, 1t is said, to that of the Congress. The above owners seem somewhat elated over their ground and there is every prob ability that it will soon be thoroughly opened and made to produce regularly.
 The Remnant and Ophir mining claims are sit uated in this mining district, and sdioin the Congress Gold Co s claims on the south; Tho owners of these properties are w. C. bashford K. H Burmister, F. Hale. k. G. Parker and Ed. Gillispie- A shaft has been sunk up0a th' Remnant to a depth of 20 feet and ore was en' cOuntered from the commencement of the sink ing of the shaft. At depth of about l5o feet cyanitesireef was encountered. which was thS same deplh and thickness as the one that was struck by the Congress c, mpany, proving beyond any doubt that it is the Identical ledge as ths Congress The shaft shows ore the entire depth until this cyanite reef Is struck-Ore that meas ures from six inches to six feet-aud from thu point to the bottom of the shaft hne ore wa, | taken out in sinking, and Of the whole width oi the shaft Careful sampling of the shaft 3t [ | depth of 2lO feet showed a value of $65 S0 whil' ore was found that by asserting to shipping product, assayed S2l9i9.

This place is located about six miles northwest of Prescott, and is new arrival in the mineral home of Yaqapai. It attracted some atten- tion on the discovery of the "Last Chance and though young, is talk ing care of itself.
 What others have failed at accomplishing Is now undertaken by the Wilson Gold Mining Company under the superintendency of James Shirley the Last Chance being the mine worked on S0ccess, we are blessed to state is st hand, and 5-stamp mill actively Gt work, tells the story too plainly. This property has been prac- tioEag and thoroughly opened by the Last man agemsRt. having depth of DO feet, that dis clOsea .

VERDE.

Located m this district are many desirable looking properties, this section, in short, taking its cue from the mammoth mines of the United Verde Company, mention of which will be found elsewhere. Activity is prevailing in consequence, and aside from the development work going on on many new claims, the district promises to still further startle the mineral world on the scale outlined in the work of the United Verde Gold, Silver and Copper Mining Company, an enterprise under the foundation of G. W. Hull, of Je- rome. or this latter gentleman and his steadfast fidelity to that particu- lar scope of country, and his pro phecy made over twenty years ago that time would so fulfill it, many old timers still recall what from dream has terminated into realty of the most startling magnitude:
 Mir. Hull at present has desirable ground, that is the locations he has incorporated into the above syndicate number fourteen claims and adloln CT surround the Omteo Verde Copper Company's mines. On this property in the past two years over $25,OOO in development work has been expended, and in the various workings shown, while no immense ore bodies are to be seen there is nevertheless guarantee that the work has progressed satisfactorily and is proving the most of the undertakings. The deepest workings on the above is 200 foot shaft, with other cuts and a system of tunnels, the ore exposed so far laying in bodies. to tap the main ledge is now the motive, and with it's completion, good results will undoubtedly occur. Mir. Hulrs interest in the group is now bsrgained for, $l50,OOO being the stipulated price, Prentis & Can non having the refusal of the grodnd. The first payment is to be made in August next. Near Jerome, on the Wondor and Tough nut mines. George l.. Cheermann has a roller mill in steady operation Reports say the lead now being worked on is a good one, and with improved machinery to handle the concentrates, the showing to be made Will be increased many fold.
 It Is the firm belief of many men versed in mining, that the range of mountains ir that section, are as yet in their infant min eral state, and when delved into, astonish
 ing results viii follow.
