 BIG BUG DISTRICT.
 Points of Interest Concerning This
 Prosperous Mining Region.
 A letter from the Big Bug district to Pick and Drill contains the fol, lowing:
 MT. Brimley and son have sold their prospect to Jarquajala people for S75,OO0. This claim was located only about one year ago. For thirty years old timers have walked over this lode, but did not observe it as they might have, but the right man looked at it rightly and secures the prize. The price paid for it is not half what it is really worth. It is one of the coming mines of Arizona Please do not forget this prediction.
 The Providence Mining company has twenty-three men at work sink ing and drifting on vein. They are preparing to stope one to keep their ten stamp concentrating plant run ming day and night. All the Annie needs is development
 The Lottie owners are at work with large force doing development Messrs. Taft and Kent are sinking and drifting on the Postmaster lode TOT their company, the Jottie.
 MT c. A. Fair has his saw mill completed and has one contract for 250,O00 feet of lumber, besides maay other smaller contracts. This SUD- plies the people of Big Bug with a long needed want
 The Poland Bell company is now pushing work and preparing to com mence shipping ore as soon as the railroad is completed.
 MT. F. W. Ullery has two very promising prospects on Wolf creek, the Dexter and Laplatte. He also has another claim, the Jewel, at Place station; good ore has been taken from this ore body and arastras at a hand some profit. The former owners Ifav- ing exhausted the surface oxidized ores, and being no longer able to save the values by the "Arastra" process, transferred Snhis pIupWty to Mir Ullery, and although aMr Ullery de- signates himself an eastern tender foot, he possessed the observation to see, and the quick pe.-ception to act In time, and the judgment to know, that the e is here the foundation for mine. In one of his other claims he has three feet of ore that will av- craze about $30 a ton. In a word, the only needed thing now is work, for this will convert these prospects into mines, and MT. Ullery is young and robust, hence has the energy, is hon est, sober and industrious, and is DOS sessed with ambition; therefore we can safely assert that time alone is necessary to make these prospects mines, and MT. Ullery the happy pos sessor of a competency of which he Is worthy.
 Messing & Thomas have leased the A. B. Lewis mine and have struck a large chute of high grade ore.
 Messrs. Akers and Little are devel- oping the Bed Rock mine: have six men at work and will sink a shaft 500 feet. This is a property worthy of development and will remunerate It's owners handsomely.
 Fridy and Ragare have completed all their annual assessments. The claim they call the Lime lode is de- veloping in excellent shape. It is the making of good mine. They will make shipment of ore within two weeks.
 The 1essees of the MT. Rief mine u-i11 mako chirrponf
 Gov. Powers and associates are de- veloping the Bullion and extension with splendid results.
 MT. Liddell and associates have leased the Blue Rick mine, have good ore and will soon be classed among the ore shippers.
 The mines are all actively at work, but there are men plenty i'll camps to do all the work at present.
 Joseph Mayer vii start the Hen rietta as soon as the railroad is con- structed.
 The branch road will enhance the value of all mines in the Big Bug dis trict very materially and it, Lynx creek and Chaparra1 are the coming camps of Yavapai county. With the railroa1 and the best mineral belt in the county, and honest, industrious miners, one of these days Prescott will find herself with a rival worthy of her esteem.
 Billy Pascoe, employed in the Annie mine, stepped off the hoist into an open trap, falling a distance of forty feet, but luckily caught the bell rope with one hand and with a foot caught the ladder, thus breaking the fall Result of fall: A bruised hand, fore arm more or less hurt, and one thigh hurt. Billy is about just the same.
