LETTER FROM THE BRAD-
 SHAWS. A Correspondent Portrays Some of the Advantages Possessed by That Section and ln- ducements Offered to
 Capital.

OAOWA AAuS, OSes AO, ASOA- itor Journal Miner) - My report in last weeks paper of the Bradshaws was a description of the southern portion of this mineral belt to the Crown King.
 A short distance west of the King is great porphry belt, from a few hundred feet to one half mile wide, runs through the entire mountain. In places are we'll defined dykes running the same course as the vein. Porphyry is the life of great mining belt and what mining men like to see. No. doubt the veins in the immediate VI cinity will carry good values in cop per although it does not indicate 1t on the surface. West of the porpbFTy the formation is granite and sienite for a mile in width. It is a good mineral belt. Values mostly gold. Bashford, Burmister and Liston have thirteen patented claims outside of them. Mir. Liston and others have a number of promising mines. MT. Liston is moving their mill to more convenient place and will soon be ready to run, and no doubt he will make it pay. He deserves success. These mines are at the north end of this great mineral zone running north and south, but the veins have a trend southwest. Between the Assure veins there are a great number of gash veins and spurs. All of them have good ore. Many are too small to no- tice, although some are good size and will be producers, but cannot ex- pect them to hold out to any great depth. But we have good many permanent veins that will go down and be paying propositions. In some districts I have seen the gash veins and spurs rob the mother lode, but such is not the case here. The fis- sure veins all carry good values.
 When capital gets control of the mines and a railroad here in a few years look for the largest mining camp in the county; for we have a number of promising districts con- tiguous to this place. The Peck and Middleton camp northeast of here are employing a good many men.
 Roach camp is tributary to this place. Mir. Button in Minnehaha is working a number of men.
 Another promising property con- tiguous to this place is the Boaz mine, equipped with 20-stamp mill, It has been lying idle for a number of years but has resumed work again. They have large Assure vein when it is thoroughly developed and get down to base ore no doubt it will be a paying proposi- tion, but they appear like we were in early days, have dread of base ore, the very thing 1 like to see now
 Paddy Clark, Otto Lebardon and others between here and the BOaz, have some fine prospects but have not the means to develop them like other prospectors, waiting for capital to open them up.
 There are a number of camps that will revive as soon as a rail road Is here which we certainly will have with such great inducements.
 | We have no mines here five hum dred feet wide, neither have 1 any town lots for sale, but we have Assure veins that can be traced for miles, although there is no large outerop on them. I do not like to see a large outcrop standing many feet out of the ground. They are like Jome women dressed in silk and dianlonds the value is on the outside. They are hard to work as it takes lots of timbers and gall to sink on them. I have made a conservative statement of the mining situation here that any mining expert will verify.
 see that Prescott leading men are waking up and starting commercial club. It will be a great thing for the county to have place where the miners can leave their ore for exhibi- ton.
 Oh, yesl wish our board of health would eat some of our canned meats, especially chili con carney, put up in Chicago. If they do not live to in vestigate, there will be falling of in our next census, and our chances for statehood will be very uncertain.
