We are pleased to chronicle the ar
 rival iG Prescott of Mir. and Mrs. T.
 W. Henry, Mir. and Mrs. F. Dick and
 Dr. C. $ Fanestock. Their coming
 is one that has for it's purpose the
 visiting and inspecting of the we'll
 known Cumberland mine on
 Pine dat near Turkey creek,
 and in which they wilh others
 are iutocee.ed. This is their second
 visit to this section in less than a
 year, or since they purchased the
 property. The Cumberland has been
 under steady operation for some
 months under the superintendency of
 c. $. Seatton, ana is being developed
 quietly but vet practically. Before
 this property was sold to these peo-
 pie it was generally well known, be- ing owned by Thomas Roach, and owing to limited capital and the dis advantages that faced the individual owner in those days of a lack of
 money to extensively open up and
 handle its product, it produced, how ever, handsomely in surface working. It was generally rated among the miner as a good gamble" and like so many of the mines of this section needed the assistance of men and money to demonstrate its merit. It has now in its new life been given the consideration due it, and If re- ports that emanate from the indi- vidual miner go for anything, the Cumberland is unquestionably a re- liable piece of ground, and one also that verifies the regard in which 1t has been rated in the past. The present company operating it are to be commended in their consideration of the property, and with the liberal outlay Of money and the develop ment that Is now in evidence, to- gether with the good showing made in all new ground reached, this is but another illustration of what prac- tical methods will accomplish when linked to the principles that go wirh deep mining. In entering the chan nel of another steady producer of this section, the Cumberland is but an republication of the wealth today of so many other mines near this sec tiOn. The United Verde was passed up" by expert after expert and its surface showing was rated in value like a postage stamp. The Mudhole was "hard one" the Octave ground was run over as of no regard, the Congress was worked out and many of the others that today run in wealth to fabulous sums, proved the fallacy of men being able to see into the ground.
 There is no question but what the and its steady develop ment in the past few months is worthy the capital expended on 1t and the capital it Is also to be en- couraged with in the future. It has a main working shaft of 275 feet, and is otherwise opened with levels, raises and stOpes. It has a magnifi- cent ore dump and enough ore blocked out to guarantee the steady operation of mill for months. An other good feature of the handling of this property is that it has a saw mill to provide all necessary timber, m abundant supply of water and will soon be within a short distance of the Bradshaw railroad. So en- outraged are the men operating this mine, that a new 10-stamp mill Is to- lay at the railroad depot in Prescott, equipped with plates and concen- traitors, and as soon as the roads are open it will be shipped in. During he past year a great amount of money has been expended on it, and l n common with so many others, we cannot but help express our satisfac | ion at the success that Is attending
 he efforts of these people, as it gives | D this section of Arizona not only a leep regard in the investment of 1. mining money, but likewise in this ] particular instance does 1t show lgain that the old locations are after Ill the best and need only capital to . demonstrate it.
