pearance of prosperity and good man

Crude oil is used for fuel, the water
supply for boiler use being pumped
from the Crown King distance of
five miles.
We're the water supply sufficiently
developed today there would be.
hundred stamps grinding away instead
of ;wenty as at present, for the ore is
there and plenty of it, sufficient to
keep going for number of years.
Another property which gives prom
ise of developing into mine of the
greatest Importance and which is to-
day far beyond its prospective stage
and at the point where machinery is
to be installed to further explore the
large bodies of high grade ore that has
been opened up, is the Wildfower
group. The reputation of this property
extends far beyond the limits of the
territory and justly so, for it is des-
tined to become one of the great pro-
ducers of this section.
The Lincoln property is still anoth
er proven mine on which preparations
are now being made to increase the
capacity Of the mill and plant. The
Lincoln needs no special mention
here, as it is now a developed mine
and large quantities of high grade ore
await only the necessary plant to give
up the gold values therein.
Other properties of note and value
which are on the eve of production
and steady work, are the Orc, Button,
Saratoga, Buster, Rainbow, Union,
Colonel and Crown King, while many
other properties are as yet in their
prospective stages but give promise of
developing into mines of Importance.
The proposed plans, when matured,
of the Harrington Development com,
pany, mean much for the development
of that section surrounding the prop
critics of the Tiger Gold Co. This
scheme, which is practical in every
respect, is a counterpart of many of
the Colorado tunnel schemes which
have proven so beneficial to the mines
of that country.
This proposed bore will be double
track, starting at point on Humbug
Greek near the Castle Rock property
and cross cutting the following-lst,
Connolly & Scherr claims at a depth
of from 800 to 400 feet; ID, the
Schwanbeck group at 800 feet; Sd, Har-
rington Development Co. at 700 to 500
feet; 4th S. Orc Bonita at 1850 feet;
9TH, Orc Belle at 975 feet; 9th, Cen
trail at 1853 feet; 7th, Grey Eagle at
1900 feet; Sth, Wire Gold at 1850 feet;
9th, Ash Spring at 1000 feet; 10th Big
Belle, 1910 feet.
Eventually this tunnel can be ex-
tended to the Rapid Transit, Apache
Panther, Bashford & Kearney claims,
Black Jack property Conger and
Eclipse, Lukes property and others of
Importance. In running this bore it
is hoped develop sufficient water to
warrant the building of a smelter and
reduction plant at its entrance and
thus afford large saving in reduction
AS we'll as transportation of the low
and high grade ores.
As it has not been year since the
railroad has been completed to Crown
King, the present outlook is certainly
very promising. The mines of the
Bradshaws are not new locations, many
of them are mines that have been pa
tented ana the value as we'll as the
amount of ore has been tested.
All that this section needs now is
time. few months and years to per-
nit it to develop, as it surely will, in
to one of the richest, grandest miner
al districts of this great county of
Yavapai.
We can all point with pride to the
Tiger Gold Co. for it stands today at
the head of the list, as a monument
of what Judgment and capital can do,
beckoning others to follow the exam
pie shown and get in and dig and pro-
duce gold.
