WEAVER DISTRICT.

Rich Hill, Stanton, Hassayampa and
 Peoples Valley Camps
 The Journal-Miner man has been visiting the above mining cawps. From his report the following is gathered:
 There is more activity in Weaver mining district the oldest and larg est district in Yavapai county) than has been known since the days of sixty-three, when the famous Rich Hill finds created such excitement and gold nuggets to the extent of one million dollars were taken from the surface on top of this mountain that lifts it's rugged, irregular outline against the eastern sky in close prox unity to the now prosperous mountain burg of Stanton, seven miles eas. of Congress. The last six months have worked wonders in the place
 new Tremain two-stamp, with a capacity of five stamps, is nearing completion. The mill is being put in by eastern capitalists, including J. O. Day, the manager, and T. B. Upton, the superintendent and original locat- or Of the Gold King mine, from which ore is to be taken and from which the company derives the name of the Gold King Mining Company This company commands eight claims and has some of the finest ore in the dis trict. When the eastern members of the company arrive articles of incor- poration will be drawn up and work will begin. The mill is one of the most compact and is bound to do first class work
 The Lucky Johnny mine is owned and operated by the Rich Hill Gold Company, c. HI. Hayden & Son own CTS. IA hoist does the work, the mine being down 125 feet. MT Hayden will sink to a depth of 200 feet. He has eight men employed and is well sat isfied with the outlook, and expects soon to begin work on the thre mines purchased from Wm<7 Partridge. They are located to the southwest Of h:s claim on Rich Hill.
 One of the best properties is own ed by Eugene Snyder, who, besides taking out tons of valuable ore, ac- cumulated various kinds of gold mug gets that drop out of the ore as it is broken up.
 Two other fine claims lay near MT. Snyder's property. One of them is owned by Dr. Dennett, F. E. Jones and MT. Deets, all of Congress. This claim is said to be equal to the bsst on the mountain. The other is owned by Frank Burton, James Harney and Pat Doherty, also of Congress, and shows up equally as well.
 T. E. Peery and w. D. Wilson have bonded the Pioneer group of three claims, two miles west of Stanton. to Capt. Robert Crow, formerly superin- tendent of the Yarnell. The claims are Pioneer, Black Hawk and West ern Extension. Mr. Crow has eight men at work, and will increase the force. He is down 110 feet in the Black Hawk and has on exhibition some magnificent samples that plain ly tell the worth of the property. He has 50 tons of ore on the dump, and has shipped away 117 tons The ore is high grade.
 Baldridge & Haltzog have struck it rich at the foot of the hill to the east of Stanton, while beyond them is the new mine being opened by Frank Czarnowski, formerly of Phoenix, now of Congress Junction. MT. Car nOwski's property is showing LID a magnificent vein and contains high grade free milling ore.
 T. J. Corrigan, superintendent of the Congress Gold Co.'S railroad and E. Warren are developing a biz property, mile and a half east oj Stanton, and are more than pleased with the outlook.
 Around the hill above Weaver creek Gilbert & Rowe have a big claim The ore averages about $10 to the ton but the ledge is practically inexhaust ible, and a fine lay out for big mill
 The greatest stimulas to the minir interests, however, comes from the re newed activity at the PeeIy mine located two miles southeast of Stanton around the point of Rich Hill, or Weaver creek. Here is found one O the best stamp mills in the country pounding out gold from the bigges ledge in the entire district The mil is owned by O. B. Roemer, of Phoenix who also owns a fourth interest in tn three mines being worked, the othe three fourths belonging to MT. Pee y About one month ago Charles Davies one of the best mill men in the terri tory, leased the mill and the mine and went to work. He has one of tn finest mining propositions in tn whole distric,.
 The ledge begins at the mill an extends northeast over the mountail for about three miles, containing il it's length fourteen claims, all valu able. Three of the mines are in tn lease, and are being worked. The, extend a distance of 4,2OO feet iron the mill, the ledge starting at the to of the ground and dipping back to ward Rich Hill. The vein average from two to three feet thick, is ez posed in unlimited quantities and i'm proves as sinking progresses. Tn vein has been tapped at a doZe .1ooo- and i'm each instance makes
