YAVAPAI MINING NOTES.


 A few months ago TurnbuH and Wingfeld secured a lease on the New
 Year group of mines from H. k Behn,
 the owner and after unwatering the
 shaft commenced to run a level at the
 200 foot station, in which they have opened up a body of rich gold and
 silver ore, with heavy lead base,
 which was not discovered by the for
 mer operators, and which was never
 known to exist there. The find was was made in a crosscut which was run
 toward the hanging wall, and the les
 sees, who kept the discovery d secret for some time, are now preparing to make a shipment to the smelter at Humboldt
 from the stope being run on it over this level. The New Year group, which consists of three claims, is situate i'm mediately south of and adjoining the Little Jessie mine. the property of the Jessie Mines company.
 Maj $. c.
