 Around Prescott.

J. W. Harrington wbile in Pres colt last Satur,lav, stated that he was constructing two arastras on Groom Greek, whic he proposed to run by water wheel. He will work orc from his CortoAwood claim. which looks splendid in free geld. He has fifty tons of ore on the dump aud is sinking on the property.
 lYickler and Morris, who ara de vel0piug a claim on Groom Greek, about two miles from the old Aztlan mill, dowu about 70 feet with their sha(l, are said to have an ex- ceYlionally fine plece of ground.
 Tho lodge between walls IS about D feet in widt aud samples given show return ol $lO0 per ton. The ore Is shipping.
 The Morning Glory mill ou 1'ur- key Creek Is dropping stamps regularly, the plant being run by the men who have been in the em- pioy ol that company, and having a business difference with the pro prietOrs. They arc said to be Inak- iug money. and that the mine is good property.
 Ca the Old Peck Supt. Falco has a force of six miners at work, pre-. pairing the property for active opera tions ia the future.
 The Gladiator mill is pounding away with 8 full force of miners and mill mon. 1t is useless to state that it is paying handsomely.
 The Crowned King, one of the richest mines in Arizona. is the scene of much activity and the mill is running steadily. Since greater depth has been reached on this property water has been developed which guarantees a steady supply for the mill for the future. Here tofore one of the greatest obstacles in working this property has been the water problem which was furnished in insufficient quantity from various streams and wells. Since the mine now can be depended on. the mill can be relied on to run regularity hereafter. The mine IS said to be looking grand.
 On the Hassayampa very good news is received to-day. Mark Brad ley and partners on the Oak mine are down 100 feet with & shaft in free gold ore that will rnn Sl00 10 the ton. It is said that they re- gently milled p tons of ore and re- ceived Sl 300 by it. They have now D tons of ore ou the dump and are only waiting for the completion of the new road to transport tbis ship ment to Tomlinson's mill on tha Hassayampa, six miles distant.
 John Piper. who has a claim on the same ledge as the Oak, $500 feet distant, is said to have five feet of $50 free milling ore. He will soon ship to Tomlinson's mill also.
 Ferguson, Bashford < Co, are maki0g arrangements 10 commence work on their Maricopa and Long Tom claims, extentions of the Oak.
 Towner & Go, on the Gold Leaf are at present drifting and raising. Water has become too abundant in the main shaft and pumping ma ehinery will soon be placed. on 1t. Their mine looks well.
 J. H. Golf still stays with the Husted claim, and it may be said incidentally that the mine stays we'll with him also. Es is running a tunnel through fine grade of ore that goes even $500 per ton. He has several tons on the dump and is steady shipper, having a very prosperous outlook for the future.
 Thompson, Rowe < Co, are work ing "Oid Often" mine steadily. This name will be recalled by all old timers from the fact that back in the early eos it was worked bv the arastra process by Bill Kirkland and others yielding over S7t 600, in gold. The above miEsrs are run ming levels now on the mine and are said to be taking out very rich rock.
 Ol the Jersey Lily they are down lS5 'eet. Two levels are being run ia very rich grade of ore and the uire continues to give an excellent acco1Jt of itself. Seven tons of ore <eceatIy shipped to the. Arizona Ore Works in Prescott yielded $252. 70 per ton. It is said that for 57 feet in the main sbaft of this mine there is exposed as fine a looking body of ore as the mine ever had, and it is the intention now to give the property thorough and systi- matic opening. Several miners say the Jersey Lily gives promises of greater wealth in the future than ever it had in the past.
 Dau O'Boyle is developing some properties near the Lone Pine, and is said to be striking it rich in them.
 One oi the greatest blessings to the district is the building Of the new wagon road affording miners the means by which their orecan be shipped to market by wagon. This thoroughfare has passed the Zero and is now striking south. Two miles more will bring 1t to the Jer- sey Lily, where it will be.tapped by a road from the latter claim. and at present be the terminus, The new road vii also bring Prescott in
