YAvAPAI COUNTY
Growing Importance of the Mining h.
 dustry. New Developments

From the Herald
 Two bars of Yavapai gold were plac- ed in the National Bank, this city, on Saturday. One, worth $l4OO, came from the Parker mine and mill on Tur- key creek; the other, worth $4OOO, came from the Orc Grande mine and mill lc- cated in the southern part of this county.
 Jerome News.
 There are now employed underground in the United Verde mine between 53C and $40 men This is the largest num- Der ever employed underground by this company and success in working the fire district means that this number will be materially increased in the near fu- ture. Superintendent Taylor has the mammoth United Verde shelter work ing to almost its full capacity and is turning out an immense amount of bullion without apparent effort. The shelter is now and has been for some time in splendid working order.
 The work of cutting station in the deep shaft now being sunk on the Black Hills property has been completed and sinking is again in progress. The re suits of the work so far on this shaft are most satisfactory to the manage ment. Ore is being continually en' countered in stringers and of the grade that encourages the belief that depth will give the company big paying mine.
 From the Prescott Courier.
 A body of sulphide ore, four feet ir width, has been struck in the Shelton mine, Walker district, one of the old est quartz mines in the district. Tn, exact value of the ore is not given out but it is known to be the richest strik' ever made in that valuable property.

REPORT RICH STRIKE
 NEAR CITY OF PHOENIX

It has just been made known that on Oct. l, R. G. Hamilton and his cousin, C. G. Sagor, struck a vein of copper within eighteen miles of Phoenix that is richer than the ore of the famous United Verde mine at Jerome. In fact, the ore indicates that the mine will be the richest copper producer in the world. It bears nine per cent of copper, be- sides averaging $l9 in gold to the ton.
 The fortunate men have been employ ed by the Fortuna Gold & Copper Co.,, headed by C. M. Clark, in the Cave Creek district for some time. Wher work in the mine was suspended in Sep. tember because of the presence of toe much water, Hamilton and Sagor start ed on a prospecting tour and met with this success. The cropping is about 200 feet long and fifteen feet wide. Il points directly towards Jerome and this gives rise to the belief that the vein is an extension of that worked by the United Verde Copper Go.
 Hamilton and Sager keyt their dis covery quiet until they and few other men at the Fortuna had staked off a number of claims. Now that the news is spreading, it is expected that there will be rush of miners and prospec- tors to the district If development shows ore as rich as the croppings, Goldfeld will have to take back seat. -Republican.

COCHlSE COUNTY
Where Mining, the Chief Industry, is
 Very Active

From the Bisbee Review
 John Norton and Obe Stewart, who left the city Sunday a week ago, for a prospecting trip in the Chiricahuas, re- turned to town the first of this week and with camp supplies secured here they located on the previous trip. From a shallow hole put down on one of these claims they brought samples of gold ore which had the appearance of ex- ceeding richness, being literally sprin- kled with free gold. The prospectors are enthusiastic over their strike and entertain the opinion that it will de- velop into bonanza find. They took an expert back with them to look the ground over and pass opinion.
 The Shattuck- Arizona company this week encountered ore on the 800 level. While not unexpected it came in the nature of an agreeable surprise and goes toward proving the assertion made in the Review that the Shattuck -Ari- zona had long ago ceased to be a pros pecting company and was entitled to the same priveleges and considerations as full fledged mining company. The Shattuck-Arizona has made good be- yond the fondest expectations of it's promoters. It has not been a stock company, in the true sense of the word, and what few shares are floating around brokers offices are being sought after by investors here. With the ort exposed on the 800 level the Shattuck Arizona now has three workings on tho 700 and 800, the faces of which are al in ore. These two faces are exposed ir the main drifts on these two levels anC a cross cut on the 700 level is in tho same pleasing formation.
 From the Douglas Dispatch
 The Dragoon Mining company, neal Middle Pass, is the latest company tt ship ore to the Copper Queens smeltel at Douglas. The first car was shipped last week and others will follow witt regularity. The ore is hauled on wag ons to Pearce and then loaded on cars and shipped via Benson. A much bet ter freight and reduction rate can bt secured than by shipping to Fl Paso With the completion of the railroad from Pearce to Naco or Douglas there is but little doubt that all the companies working in the Dragons will ship thei entire output to the smelters at Doug las. There are number of them idl, at present that could be worked sue cessfully if the railroad was in oper ation.
