What Old Producers are Doing and Notes
 From New Discoveries.

Machinery for the new mill of the Last Chance mine passed through town yesterday. The managers are pushing work on this property.
 P. H. Coyle of Phenix is en route to Congress with six ten and twelve horse teams where they will load with machinery for the desert mine.
 The report comes from Lynx Creek that w. $. Morse recently struck body of ore in the property owned by him, which runs away up in gold.
 A deed has been filed for record from Gus Gottschalk to R. R. Hill and F. c. Frantz for one third of the North Star mining claim in Copper Basin, the consideration named being $2O0. F. X. O'Brien has deeded one third of the same mine to the same parties.
 Captain Charles w. Anderson was in town to-day from Lynx creek with bottle of placer gold which he took out with a rocker in a few hours. He says that he is getting his claim in good condition for the winter rains, and when they come he expects to make quite a clean up of the precious metals.
 Mir. Sisty, of the firm of Clark & Sisty, has been in this section for several days and it is said that he will shortly start up the Lynx Creek property recently purchased by them. The report further says that they have good ore in abundance in sight.
 The recent find on Copper creek just south of Prescott is attracting considerable attention. Geo. C.. Waddell, who was one of the dis coverers of the property Is at work prospecting aclaim and has opened up quite good sized vein of high grade copper ore. The locators are very sanguine of being able to de- velop good mining properties.
 The new hoist on the Last Chance mine-has been completed and was started up to-day. A force of men will be pleced at work at once in the mine opening up new ground and taking out ore from that already opened. Work on the mill is pro gressing slowly on account of delay in getting in the timber.
 It is not generally known, but Prescott has an inexhaustible fund of placer gold always pouring into her coffers. The gulches of her surrounding mountains are full of men who are taking up enormous quantities of placer gold at little expense of time and labor, and yet that feature of gold mining in Ari- zona is rarely heard of. Almost the entire region of country between Prescott and Phenix is successful placerlng country, where water can be had in the winter time.-Phenix Herald.
 While Harry Yarnell was pros pecting through the Green Valley district he found ledge of iron ore. He banned the croppings from numerous points but could not get even a color in his horn. When he came to Pbenix he brought with him some samples of the ore which were assayed yesterday by pr. Ford, who found the ore to go 1860 ounces of gold to the ton. Besides this splendid showing in gold the ore shows sufficient iron to pay transportation charges in Aux. MT. Yarnell will leave next Monday morning for the district where he will open up the claim which gives every promise of being an immense proposition. Mrs. Yarnel will ac- company him aud spend the winter in Payson.-Herald.
 The Union mine in Maricopa county will again be worked and within two weeks A. G. Bayles, l.. G. Coombs and others, representing the firm of Bayles, Coombs & Co.,, will start fifty ton cyanide plant at the old mine. Already there are 5000 tons of ore, dirt and gold bear in rock in the dump and this will be worked, after which the mine will be worked on larger scale than ever before. The McArthur-F Forrest process will be used although in the beginning they had intended to try the American plan of using cyanide of potassium in the reduction of rebelious ores. They changed to the Scottish plan because it seems to have patent that they will de- lend too strongly.
 "Go away from home to learn the the news" is exemplifed in the fol- lowing item from the Phenix Herald, which is given for just what It is worth: Five million dollars was the net proceeds of the Jerome copper mines of this territory for the year ending June 30th. Eleven million dollars worth of copper, gold and silver was the gross output. Arizona has the greatest copper mine in operation in the world to-day. And yet Arizona has been regarded as the land of the fake mines. She puts out more copper value to-day IlOh hol bISoI COppeE mines at Bisbee, Clifton, Globe and Jerome than all other sections of the United States, in fact, she pushes the out put of all the world put together" It is given out that operations will be commenced at once on the Hillside mine again.
