 A correspondent of the Prescott Herald, writing from Stantion, ArlZ, says "The is considerable activity in small way hereabOuts. To the west of us one and half miles some substan tial and profitable work is be- ing done by Frank Genunff and part ner Tex, on lease on the old Mar GUS property, now owned by the Rin- con Mining company. During the lie of their lease they are taking out quite a quantity of free gold ore, much Of 1t worth up as high as $250 per ton, but the whole amount is a high grade milling proposition, and nearly all of 1t would do to ship, still they propose to hold their ore until the expiration of their lease, which is the last of March, and the company will probably then have its mill nearly ready to treat the ore, as they will doubtless follow along on the same lines and continue to take out ore enough from the development of their various ore bodies to keep the mill grinding along steadily. The property is located be- tween two of the best gold mines in Arizona, the Octave and the congress.
 The Pick & Drill Mining company continues development work on it's property in the Agua Fria district, ad- joining the property of the Baumann Copper company, and is meeting with excellent results. While the property adjoins the Baumann Copper compa- ny, it seems to be on different min eral belt. The BAumanu companyS mines are copper with good values in gold and silver, while that of the Pick X Drill company is gold with no cop per in it. A double compartment yer tical shaft has been sunk by the Pick X Drill company to the depth of l25 feet, where it ihtersects the ledge, which is on an incline at l60 feet from the surface as measured by the ledge. The shaft crosscuts the ledge at this point The ledge is 20 feet wide at the point of intersection, with large body of solid ore of good grade. The company has just purchased the boiler and pump, and track formerly owned by the Copper Basin Gold & Copper company, and is having them removed tO its property. The machinery is all new, and in addition to installing this a new hoist will also be installed Journal Miner.
 The Gold Road mine is proving to be one of the greatest gold properties in the territory of Arizona. At the present time the deepest shaft has reached a depth of 100 feet, at which point drifts and crosscuts have been run of. Ten feet of rich ore and the same width of lower grad has been cut, but as yet no wall has been reached. Along the surface of the vein leaserS are taking out rich ore in such quantities that 1t will be but few weeks until the capacity of the big mill will be taxed to it's utmost from this source alone. Some of this ore runs as high as 5000 to the ton in value, while the lowest ore sent to the mill is above $2O. Thousands of tons of ore running above sl0 will be left on the dumps by the leaserS and this will furnish the mill for months. James Carter's lease is sending to mill large quantities of immensely Iich ore. Last week two aud one half tons, averaging 5000 to the ton, were sent to mill On the Kennedy Parizzo lease, now owned by Krouse X Co.,. great ore is being obtained A dozen or more leasers are making big wages, while many will lay up snug fortunes. The company is pushing work on the lower levels aud is getting the mine in better shape than it has ever been for the economic production of ore. The camp is taking on an air of business activity that impresses the stranger. -Mohave County Miner.
