LYNX AND GROOM CREEKS
A Review of Reasons for Present
 Mining Activity.

Prescott. Ariz., July 27.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican)-New activity is being shown in mining on Groom creek and Lynx creek near Prescott. The camps are all exception ally lively, increasing the number or men at work. Many new camps have put dn an appearance. Lynx creek and Groom creek arc the two districts between the Big Bug country and Pres colt that at present are receiving the most attention from men Interested in any way in mines. A number of big. rich strikes. producing an immense lot of rich and valuable ore, have been made during the past few months. The strikes are not surface propositions. but the results of digging to some depth. There are a great many pros- poets: hundreds of them: in fact nearly all the country in these districts has been located. Numbers of the ledges. of course. will amount to nothing, yet there are many prospect locations which, when developed frcm 200 to COG feet will prove bonanzas.
 For years there has been interest In these districts. Locations made and the ledges followed a few feet These ear- marks of mines have been sold. They have changed hands perhaps several times and with few exceptions this con- stituted what has been termed mining fer the past decade True mining is digging: digging and developing the prospects to find out what there really is in a proposition, and Is what makes or decides the value of a district of mineral producers. To get money from the ground requires great deal oi money for developing purposes before return money is realized. It requires capital to open up big mines. Capita now is taking up great number oi mines and developing them, so req mining In these districts. as in other parts of the Territory. Is taking tht place of the former speculation ant talk about prospects and claims. Com panies and individuals with money art digging and sinking with results beyond expectation. They have demonstrated ! beyond doubt the great richness of orv bodies in these two districts and tht upper Hassayamptl country. Invaria N

Among the mines showing rica strikes and those eoing heavy worl with astonishing results are the follow ing: The Mudnole mine, on Lyn, creek, carrying gold. lead and iron, l. now over 800 feet deep, with between 5 and SO men on the pay roll. The prop erty was said to have been once on tn verge of abandonment by the presen owners, but they were induced by pro moters to go deeper and develop, whicl i brought out the value of the mine which now Is one of the best In tha country.

A reporter of the same paper, meeting MT. Martin on the street Thursday last. and up6n request for news, in general converse ton he said:
 "Yes, have just returned from an inspection of the property. It is all right, and believe, if am permitted to follow my own plans, that I can shortly develop large bodies of ore. There is considerable ore now on the dump, and there is a 5-foot body in the face of the drift, leading from Copper Bottom.
 "I have also discovered two excellent locations indicating ore shoots, which I believe have been overlooked in the past.
 The crosscut tunnel which has beer driven for a distance of 800 feet. and upon which work has lately been dis. continued, I believe will tap large oOuy Ol oTt tUe IldISlIlS wall II | reached" "The shelter has been overhaulet and Is now in good shape.
