 MT. Eugene Brady O'Neill returned yesterday from an extended trip the mining regions adjacent 10 MOrriStown. He states that great activity is discernible throughout that section of the country, that many new locations are being made and work is being pushed on a large number of claims. Mir. N. c. Burns, representing the Val Verde smelter is buying a large quantity of ore in that section which has caused more general work to be done in Yavapai and northern county than ever before.

The Phoenix & Prescott has put in plat forms at every section along the line to meet the demand of the shippers. Mr. O'Neill is very enthusiastic over the mining prospects of that territory. Gazette
 Rapid progress is being made to- wards the construction of the mill on the Midnight Test mine. The machin- cry for the mill has all arrived and tho boiler is at the depot and will be out within a few days. Mir. Wood is one of the most energetic mine managers in this section. Every thing be takes hold of is pushed along just as rapidly as men and money can accomplish the work. A sample of his push and energy is shown in the development of rbe Midnight Test mine. year ago this month he took a bond on it when it was a mere pros pect with a shaft in it abont sixty feet deep. Since then he has developed it to depth of 100 feet and has opened up ore bodies sufficiently to justify the erection of mill, besides taking out ore to more than pay the orig inal purchase price of the property Journal.
