MINES OF THE FUTURE
A Number of Yavapai Properties New
 Being Developed.


 of copper claims near the famous Hill side property. in the northwestern part Of Yavapai county. The locations arc on Copper Creek and the section is q veritable field Of copper outcroppinGs. \ stream of water runs from the vein on the Roberts claim of the group of V hich an analysis shows that there are eight pounds of copper to q ton Of water. Seepages from two other claims, the Susan and Copper Rose. which are included in the group. also contain q great deal of copper in solution. This water is similar to that of a stream that ran from the United Verde ledge before it was developed and which on account of the presence of the copper in the water was called Bitter creek. Eight opposite these claims John Law Ter. one c: the principal owners of the, Hillside owns some very valuable cop per claims and is shipping the rich ores therefrom at the present time.
 Mr Roberts has succeeded in inter csting several men in his property and company has been formed composed If It. H. Burmister, president: l.. D. Phillips, vice president, and Joseph l. Roberts, a brother of the locator. secre- tary and treasurer.
 Arrangements are being made to sink shaft on one of the claims to q depth of at least 250 feet and to explore the ground and open up the ore bodies. The rev corporation is called the Copper Creek Consolidated Copper company.
 Luke brothers some time ago sold the Union mine, which is located in the Bradshaws, about half a mile south of the Crowned King, to q company com posed of Detroit Mich, capitalists. The Union is one of the old locations of the I;T dshaw mountains, but the mining heretofore done on it has only been superficial, although a tunnel has been run quite distance on the vein which shows it up good and strong. It is the | intention of the new owners to sink q | 1:cw shaft to q considera ble depth and 1 the work is already in progress. about 1 fifteen men being employed at present. 1 (. J. Kimball has been engaged as superintendent and David E<ile as fore man. William J. Rainey, a wealthy resident of Michigan. is president of 1 tl:c company. and H. P. Nagle of De- troit. is secretary and treasurer.
 The Union is gold mine and the ores are very similar in character to that of the Crowned King. the latter being one l of the oldest and best known producers l in Arizona.
 ! Considerable activity has been mani
 fested during the last few months on | the Revenue group of mines. situated | n the Weaver mining district, about l five miles north of Congress and eight
 miles from Octave. These mines are supposedly on the same ledge as the ! Euckhorn and are one mile distant from the latter. which is being developed by the Home Geld Mining company and has already proven to pe one of the Ir.fg ralx- tf.,
 . great future producer of Yavapai
 county. The Revenue group is located
 upon a strong ledge from four to six feet in width upon the surface, and caI | he traced almost the entire length of the six claims.
 The values are principally in gold and very rich samples have been taken
 I, um the surface workings. The devel- opment work is being done by the <ina Solomon Mining company, of Lima Ohio. which was incorporated under tn, | laws of Arizona about two years ago The company has been engaged in de
 veloping and operating mines in the | kootenai district of British Columbia
 ever since it's incorporation and is now
 actively engaged in mining opera ticns
 there, having very extensive and valu-
 able holdings in the northern country. The work on the Revenue mines is be ing conducted under the persona supervision of Dr. w. l.. Hardin, the oompany's chief chemist, who has
 traced the continuation of the ledgC Ee yond the lower end of the property out into the open desert and has had aEother group of six claims staked ad-
 joining the Revenue. The vein is con-
 tIrucuS and the ledge well defined O. these new acquisitions and the surfac, ores. carry good values.
 The new properties furnish an excel lent mill site and the railroad is easily accessible from them. The twelv, claims should make a mine of great } magnitude and it is the intention oi tine company to develop them at once } stamp mill and cyanide plant will b. iHSalled as soon as sufficient ore Ina. been blocked out to warrant the cree. } ton of a plant. and a large force o miners will be kept steadily employed , .n opening up the mines.
 The Copper Cobre Mining company incorporated under the laws of New } Jersey, with capital of $1, ,OOO, 900, own. a group of fifty-eight claims, twenty eight Of which are patented, the loca
 tons being in the heart of the Brad
 shaw mountains. The property is on ; gigantic mineral dyke of metamorphi, s.ate which is mostly of a schistose ant | taiccse character. and between tn, l., ,minae are veins of quarts of ever, size from a few inches to many feet The quartz carries rich sulphides O copper and the slate is heavily impreg rated with sulphides and in places witt na tive copper.
 I The principal operations are bein. done on the Whale mine, which has 5Gc-foot tunnel being driven to tap twt "f the great leads. One of them, eight. feet wide. with twenty to thirty feet il width of ore, has already been cross cut. The ore is bornite, a very ricl
