William Marshall, one of the promi- nent mine owners from the Santa
 Maria district, south of Prescott, was in the city Wednesday, bringing much of interest regarding the movements among the mines of that section, says the Herald.
 Among other things stated by Mar shall is that the Los Angeles pec pie, now holding a bond and lease on the Alex Lucy group for $4o,000 are ready when the ore development justifies it to erect a mill of 100 stamps.
 They have entered into R contract to do 900 feet of development work, principally, 450 feet of which has been completed with results that are highly satisfactory to them as well as Lucy. In the tunnels they have rEn the ore showing continues to get better.
 Marshall sates that there is every prospect of a boom in the Santa Na ria district, and that properties not recently put under development are HOW arranging to have men at work before the end of the present year.
 Michigan capitalists are working the Cowboy group under bond They have a shaft down 400 feet and Will sink to 1000 before stopping. Prem the surface they have been in a if teen foot ledge of ore part of which runs high in values. They are run ming two shifts and have a gasoiise e hoist on the property.
 Jack Nj cNeff is working on one af the biggest ledges in the district. Wis- coPsin people have taken a bond on hrs Pocahontas group. and about Sep tember l will put force of men to work. The showing already made or the property is one that has attracted considerable attention.
 Marshall is now negotiating with Boston people for the bonding of his Bedrock group of three claims. He has recently received a letter from them. stating that as soon as pos s.ble they will be here to see the prop. erty and arrange for taking it over.
 The same people are dealing for the Swiss Belle mine, which was work, ed about eight years ago, and is well equipped with machinery. The Swiss Belle adicins Narshall's property, and during the time it was worked gave promise of becoming one of the srest gold producers of Yavapai county.
 Miller is now running a three stemp mill on his group about enc mile east of the Swiss Belle. Miller states that 1 the first test run has demonstrated l that he can pay ali the expenses of development by milling the ore he takes out as he goes down. The ore runs exceptionally hish in gold.
 Edwin Schultz recently had Chicago people out to visit his Wisconsin group. They were well pleased with the showing made. and it is probable that they will take a bond and lease 1 and shortly begin the development of the ore bodies that are indicated on the surface.
 The Jack Neinan group is consid- cred one of the richest propositions in the whole of the Santa Maria dis. trict lie has 9 three foot ledge, in which there is eishteen inches of ore that runs from $1oo to s150 per ten This he ships to the Denver smelter. Ore that runs less he is running through arsstass having plenty of water to handle the output
 Though his business does not come under the head of mining, Charles Feaast has a large ranch, situated ia 1 the center of the mining activity He furnishes all the miners with fiae vegetables, butter and eggs. Mar shall states that his ranch is one Of the hest in the country.
 The center of the Santa Maria dis trict is reached by train to Hillside station and then by wagon sixteen rslcc
