 The Jerome papers are having boom in the way of advertising min !. l ing applications. Ten applications for patent were filed in the Prescott land
 office last week which were divided ! | equally between the two papers for
 publication. Mir Wood has resumed work on the Bedrock mine near Peoples valley af-
 ter having it shut down for a month
 or more. It is reported that he has struck very rich ore in the bottom of
 the shaft. He has the grading com
 pleted for a mill which he proposes to erect soon. John Bryant has sold his interest in | the Mountain View mine to Thomas Smith. This mine is q very promising
 one. some of the ore running as high
 as 5000 per tOn-- The work of run
 ming a tunnel to crOss-cut the ledge
 at a depth of about seventy-five feet | is being done.
 An outfit left Val Verde yesterday carrying men and supplies for work
 on the Lone Cedar property. near the | Hidden Treasure mine. Work is al
 ready in progress on the Columbia
 mine. which is about a mile from the Lone Cedar. The val Verde Copper company has let contracts for extended
 work on both properties. which contain
 rich copper ore. A deed was filed for record in the
 recorders office today. transferring the
 Buffalo. L. s. and New York mines, | Trilby water right and Cottonwood l ID tT,.
 San Domingo Gold and Copper con-
 pany. The price paid for the above
 properties was $1S.OOO. The prOpeties | lie in the White PicachO district alongside of the TriIby mine. and is
 one of the most important mining | transactions that has taken place in
 that section for some time. Several very rich finds of copper are reported to have been made recent ! | ly in the TOntO Basin country. in the MaZatzal district. between the Barn
 hart mountain and the North peak. As this is a large district extending for twenty miles in length and mineral iZed it is only question of time when the entire district will be alive with prOspectors and many valuable finds
 be made. There are now several prom , isin- groups in the district. among
 which are the Copper Butte. White
 House. Mazatzal. White Iron, Eisen-
 hour. Craig-RObertson and Copper Belt.
 Fred Sattes. who spent day or two
 at his Nugget mine in the Slate creek
 district, this week. brought back some
 ore that certainly looks splendid. The -N.s of the Blue Dick and Mark Twain
 claims, both of which are considered good properties, and at a depth of only about fifty feet has q ledge of ore
 about twelve inches wide that runs as l high as 400 ounces of silver and SIP to
 S2O in gold A contract was let today | for sinking a shaft considerably deeper and Mir. Sattes is firmly convinced that he has a property that will soon take | it's place among the first class mines of
 the county. and if the samples of ore he brought home are a criterion of the rock below. and there proves to be enough of it. he has every right to re-
 iOice at his good fortune. Henry LOvin is accounted one of the lucky ones of the county. About a year ago he received nearly S6OOO for his interest in some placer claims upon which no work had been done; few months ago he received S2JOO for a One-fOurth interest in some claims he had never seen: last week he grub staked a man who brought in ore from a 3O-inch vein that gave an assay of 2.4O ounces gold and 14.SO ounces sil yer to the ton. The location is fifteen
 miles eaSterly from Fort MOhave. His partner in the mine is a Mexican by the name of Jose JeriS. This man has been prospecting on the river several year past. but was unable to continue the work without assistance and there fore appealed to Mir. LOvin. who, with unfailing good luck. iS in a fair way 1 to reap rich harvest.-MOhave Miner. !
 Every person who has been to the
 new Jerome gold district during the past few days reports that the working force there is increasing daily, says the News. Some excellent rock k being brought to Jerome from several late
 locations. and generally in the old To-
 cations the lodges are increasing in
 size as depth is attained. The princi- pal work is being done south of the LrailrOad. There are several groups in ! pOratiOn. and it iS the intention of the incOrpOratOrS to sell a certain amount
 of stock and use the money in legiti-
 mate development work. Some very
 rich gold rock is being brought to Jerome from the Mineral Point gold fields. Especially rich gold rock comes | from the Hart-AllisOn properties To-
 cated about two miles south of the
 railroad track. Colonel Alex O. BrOdie. who is in the city from his Crown Point mine re- ports a lively interest in mining mat | terS in that vicinity. The Crown Point | is exceeding all expectations in the matter of ore. though the water supply
 is somewhat limited. The mill which was recently erected. gives good Satis- | faction. only that the limited water | supply prevents a steady run. The
 water used is pumped from the mine and sinking continues in the hope of developing the supply. The search for
 water. however. brings to view con stantly new ore bodies. a fact that in itself is very gratifying. for though
 big water supply at the mine iS very deSirOuS it is not an absolute ueceS- ! Sity. The HaSSayampa river k not very far distant and if water iS not | found at the mine it can he pumped and piped from the river. though it
 would involve an expense Mir. Rrodie believes will be avOided.-Repuhlica | It is announced that the Verde Queen
 smelter at Jerome will start up on

 ! H. w. Stevens. who holds the dual position of administrator of the Trilhy and Belle gold mines for the estate of Guadalupe Burnell. deceased. and l also superintendent for Willis R. Troy. ! who has bond on these properties. spent couple of days in Prescott this
 week on business connected with these | valuable properties. He says he has orders tO sink a shaft at least 5OO | feet deep at once on the Bell, gold
 mine. He will begin the work at once
 and in all probability VIII continue still deeper. lie has recently secured
 q cabl, l20O feet long and iS prepared | t0 gO to the bottom of things. He Is
 greatly encouraged at the nrospectS of these mines. They have about twenty | five men at work now and will soon ] increase the force considerably. Mir
