 in Sight.

Prescott, Nov. 24.-(Special cores pondence of The Republican, )-The longer one stays in Yavapai the more one is convinced that the denizens of this county do not know half that can be unfolded to tbe public gaze through Arizona papers. With an extended mention of the famous Crowned King in the Bradshaws the writer closed a lengthy article touch ing on mining matters as seen and heard of on a trip to the center of the county. I will now take up few notes about other propositions in the Bradshaws and then run over to Lynx creek which heads ten miles south of Prescott.
 The Chicago Mining company has started in to do some work on the New Jersey where rich pocket was found in early days. Ten men are employed in this connection which is three miles south of Crowned King On the Minnehaha Flats, nine miles northeast from the Crowned King, there is work being done by several parties. A five stamp mill is in op- eration in this locality.
 Frank and Lloyd Gibbons, both young men, are working on the Con- tention claim a mile north of the Crowned King. This claim lies on an extension of the old Reliable ledge. A 15O foot shaft has been sunk and cross cuts opened. The boys are on pay streak.
 Tip Top, ten miles southwest of the Crowned King. This is a silver prop osition and but little is doing.
 Rumble Bee district is twenty miles south. The district is a good one though but little has been done. How ever, there is a fire future fer the Rumble Bee.
 There are number of prospects On Cow Creek, eigteen miles sou hwes. of Del Pasco mountain
 The California, a mile west of the Crowned King, was the first gold mine operated in the Bradshaws. The mine will shortly be reopensd. The Fig r, a silver proposition, is a good one. Gold was first got out and then it ran into silver. General Manager N. c. Shekels of the Crowned King is interested in both the Cal:forn:a and Tiger.
 A shaft of 11S feet is down on L.. D. Halls claim about five miles south of the Crowned King on the Juniper cree. A second shaft will he sunk. Three feet of ore is in sight and stamp mill Is an early possi- bility.
 c. A. Luke and his sons John and Frank of Phoenix have let a contrac.. to George Curtis to sink 100 feet on an extension of the Lorena, a silver outlook one mile south of the Crowned King. The Lukes have taken out considerable ore which goes high in silver.
 The Buena Vista is being worked in the Bradshaws. Ths present tunnel is 110 feet and looks promising in the showing of ore. Ano her tunrel will be opened to ten times the length of the the first one Thomas Lee and Supt. Harrington, both associ- ated with the Crowned Kinng, are in- terested with other Illinois people in this proposttoin.
 The above is but a faint pres a. tion of minor matters in mining in the Bradshaws. A future visit VII lead up to something not yet offered in print. We will now turn back to- wards Prescott and enter Lynx creek. Anticipation of meeting a friend of twenty years standing caused me to Init the trail' which unfortunately meant twelve miles of travel on Jobs trotters. There was no help foI it, as the teams seemed to take their course the wrong way.
 Hon. Winthrop A. Rowe, and his brother, Will, have ten claims at the head of the creek on which they re gently completed their assessment work for 1897. They are now doing .1r 1o.x B. the Chapparal country five miles east ward. On State creek the Rowes have opened claims to some extent. Win. throp has been in the hills and or the creeks for almost a score of year: and they hope ito realize soon- It i: said Winthrop has an eye on Klon. dyke, and there are others"-all Ie turning to Arizona in due course.
 c. J. Tibbetts and his sen Elmer O the upper Hassavamna started in tt placer on the creek about the Row, claims. The creek has been worked to death in this respect, the onr formidable proposition being the Mas sicks hydraulics, some fifteen mile below the headwaters. These are no working for lack of water which i 1umed several mics.
 The Homestead five stamp mill a Walker, a mile below the head o Lynx creek is being worked on leas by L. Greenwood, who obtained i from Fred Zoebel and L. Griffen. Tn claims worked are the Favorite an Snow Flake. Seventy-two feet i down on a whip" The ore is lo1 grade Work on the lease has bee done since September Values of or s1O0 and less. Concentrates are sen
