sactions, hardly day passing for sew
eral months without the recording of
some mining deal. Now comes reports
from that section Of greater activity
than has been known for years.
Greenwood Mill Running
The mill at the Greenwood property,
located near Prescott, was started re-
Gently, having lain idle for several
months on account of bad weather. This
is among the finest properties in Yava-
pal county, and is fully equipped. Eu-
gene Greenwood is president and gem
erai manager of the property, and is
carrying on its development in q thor
ough and systematic manner. over 1900
feet Of drifting has already been done,
exposing some large bodies OF high
grade ore. The main shaft Is down
something over 500 feet and is being
carried deeper as rapidly as possible.
This shaft is equipped with modern
steam hosting plant, capable Of depth
of nearly 1000 feet. The development of
this property is being watched with
much interest by leading mining men.
and 1t is very probable that other prop
critics will be opened in that vicinity.
Copper Basin Activity
No richer mining section can be
found in Arizona than that known as
the Copper Basin district, twelve miles
southwest of Prescott. Michigan capi-
talists have been attracted to that rich
section and two valuable groups of
claims are being developed. A force
of men was put to work recently on
each of the groups and more will be
added. There is considerable develop
nent already accomplished on each of
the groups, all of which shows good
ore values, ranging from $40 to $40
ton in gold and copper.
Yaeger Canyon Mine
Twelve miles southwest Of Jerome,
near the mouth of Yeager canyon, is
located the promising group OF claims
owned by the Yeager Canyon Copper
company, the development of which is
attracting considerable attention. The
main shaft has reached depth of 800
feet and 600-foot drift has been run
on the ledge, being in ore all the way.
The property is equipped with con-
centrating plant of sixty tons daily
capacity Concentrates are being ship
ped regularly from the mill. A new
hoisting plant was recently installed,
having a capacity of developing the
property to a depth of 1900 feet. The
company is composed of some of the
wealthiest men in Arizona, and there
is no doubt the property will soon be
numbered among the big producers.
viii Install Machinery
Preparations are being made at the
Cleopatra property to put in some new
machinery. A number of power drills
will be installed, which will hasten the
work of development.
The showing of ore improves stead
lily. In running winze from the old
Dillon tunnel to the Winningham tun-
mel large body of high grade ore has
been encountered. Drifts are being
run north and south from the Dillon
tunnel, and in every instance the show
ing is good. The working force will
be greatly increased as soon as the new
machinery has been put in place.
Mill Ready to Start
The latest report from the Cherry
Creek district is that the Pfau Mining
company's new mill is all ready to make
a test run. The inventor Of this new
tubular mill is on the ground and will
oversee the running of the plant for
a while to insure successful results.
The mill has capacity of $50 tons
daily, but will not be run to the limit
for a while. There is cyanide plant
in connection with the mill, that pro-
cess being found most satisfactory for
treating the ores of the Cherry Creek
section.
A force Of men is employed sinking
a shaft on the Pfau extension claim,
just south of the main property. The
showing of ore is good, running about
$50 ton, ,and the ledge is widening as
depth Is attained.
DeNeIdl are DelllS ODeIleu
in the immediate vicinity Of the Pfau
company's property, while numerous To-
cations are being made all around.
Everything looks favorable for this
camp to be among the livelest in va
vapai county this summer
Good Copper Outlook
M. w. Atwood of Los Angeles, who
is associated with F. j. Sibley and r.
r. Sibley of Tucson, has returned from
an inspection trip to the Copper Creek
mines in Graham county, Arizona. In
recent interview the owners express
themselves as pleased with the devel-
opments and outlook. A splendid body
of high grade copper ore has been
opened and a large production for 1905
assured. They are completing a good
wagon road to connect the mine with
the railroad and facilitate ore ship
ments. A recent test of the ores made
nv the FI Paso smelling works gave
