 The Chicago Gold Mining company, A. J. Pickering superintendent, is op- erating at the very head waters of the Hassayampa to the left of the above mentioned road and mile east from the Senator mill. The plant, which is a good one, includes blacksmith shcp, pumps, boarding house, water tanks, ten stamp mill, saw mill with capacity of 5000 feet a day, and teams. There are thirteen claims in this proposition, some of which were locations of Wm. Kent. The plant is located at the widely known ranch of Jeff Davis. Pickerell owns part of the plant and a bond has been made, the Chicago company working on that. Forty feet had been worked by whim when the Chicago company started; they going 11O feet more Drifting has cut three veins and it is expected soon to get good pay rock. Prospects are en- couraging. The ten stamp mill began working in July last. Assays show as high as $40 in gold. Ed Lobby, formerly of the Senator, is foreman of the mill, and John Morrison fore man of saw mill, where 0,O00 feet of lumber has been cut since June for company use and sale to other mines and in Prescott. Work at the saw mill has been discontinued for the winter. Twenty mem are employed in all departments.
 It is reported that old man Grubbs, who has three patented locations ad- joining the Storm Cloud, refused S1OO, ,OO0 for the properties and is hold ing for $200,00O. The offer was made by eastern parties some time ago.
 I'm Maple Gulch, beyond the Sem ator, is the Storm Cloud Mining and Milling company, which employs about twenty men. "A two stamp mill is working on the ore from one of three claims. The shaft is down fifty feet and the ore will run as high as $25 a ton. It is good ore and the prospects are so encouraging that inn provements are being made com stantly, which will include an in- creased number of stamps. The head of the company is MT. Cress of Chicago, MT. Tolgren being on the grounds as, superintendent.
 The Crook canyon mill is shut down. This was working ore from the mine adjacent. The mine and mill is several miles south of the Storm Cloud in Crook canyon at the base of the Senator mountain.
 Near ZeGts station, further on, is the Morning Glory on Turkey creek where light work is in progress.

Green wood mill foreman The company , is operating on ledge parallelling the Crowned King ledge. Six tunnels penetrate the mountain side, richer | ore being apparent as progress is made on lower levels, the lowest down as far as $50 feet. Stopping has been done to some extent and the ores sent to the mill by latest de- vices. From the lowest tunnel a ! compartment shaft has been sunk about twenty feet and the ore shows from $50 to $2OO in gold A ten i stamp mill has been operated since 1894, in the gulch, and it is possible i a chlorination plant will be inro- duced. Shipments of concentrates ara freighted to Prescott, via Mayer, fol transfer to smelters abroad. Some fifty mem are on the pay roll. MT Dennis Burke, county treasurer, is in terested in the Gladiator, a mine that is beginning to rank with its rich sisters, the Crowned King, over the hill and the Little Jessie, of wide. spread fame
