Jackson IS superintendent. He gives an excel lent account of the mine and feels over enthusiastic of the showing as development progresses, and in speak i ing of the result of the initial run of the mill and results says the returns were more than fattering. Mir. Jack | son said that Mexico gold mines in his section were eagerly sought after by foreign capital, and, that with the magnificent showing the Los Reyes properties make, other ground adjac- ent is being tied up, and he had no doubt but what the industry would | be entirely regenerated and a pros | porous era follow. Associated with | Mir. Jackson, as foreman of the mill, | is w. T. Hali, formerly of McCabe, | and it will be gratifyingto the latter's many friends in this section to know that.his practical methods as a miner alogist' are as successful there as they | are here. Both of these former resi- dents of Yavapai will remain for some time in their new field of labor. |
