 Gazelle and Castle Rock companies iare composed of many holders of stock in the great Tiger Gold company's lproperty.
 Up the gulch to the east, the Apache Panther company, owned by Duluth and Minnesota people under the man agement of MT. Cuniff. are making a great mine of the old Cougar and Black Jack properties. | saw only last week large bodies of fine ore blocked Tout in these mines. The old Eclipse is lpart of this group.
 Over the mountains to the south west from Crown King at Silver Mountain, Pittsburg people have taken hold of the great Mammoth mine. The Orc and Bullion properties are close.
 There is large power plant and lelectric car line system proposed for Crown King basin, and has already been surveyed. It will deliver power to all the properties in the basin and do away with the haul of fuel over the almost impossible heavy roads The old Tip Top mine, worked in the late '70s and early sos, has been re- incorporated and is getting under way to be reopened. There are a lot of good mining properties in that section and down Humbug and Castle creeks.
 South of Prescott about five miles Is Groom creek. There are a lot of mines 1 along this creek from the crossing to It's source. There is the property of Major Watts and Behm. The Flying Dutchman, Midnight Test, Home Run, Empire and Silver King mines The old Senator mine. belonging to Phelps, Dodge & O., owners of the great Copper Queen at Bisbee, have been and are now running great crosscut tunnels now in 2,7O0 feet and are devel- oping the great Ten Spot vein, some sixty feet in width They will continue on for considerable distance.
 The Chicago Gold and Copper com pany has great property in the Presi- dent mine and has a ten-stamp mill on the Hassayampa. It has sunk a shalt to depth of 800 feet. The com pany has other properties but is not operating them at present.
 There Is a fino group in the old Flint properties which are worthy of attention by mining men. There are great possibilities here and they will be on the line, as will all the Lynx creek and Hassayampa properties men toned, of the proposed ore road from Poland-LynX creek tunnel.
 The Quartz Mountain property as we'll as the old Mescal group and mill He or the Hassayampa to the south west of Prescott. Jas. Chambers has ar exceedingly rich mine on the same vein es the Jersey Lily and has only in the last few days made a rich strike near there. The Ram group and the copper properties of Wooddell and Mo Nulty are just across the stream from there and with some other Copper Basin properties are under develop rlent.
 West Of Prescott there are some uTRSnactS in fha vicinity nf ,I, Butte and stlll further west the Monica mine at Kirkland valley has just been sold at a large figure to par ties from New York. The great HilI- side mine and copper properties near by owned by Jack LawIer and Judge Wells are being opened by MT. Eawler Eimself
 The Sutton. Goodenough, Pocahontas and other properties upon the Santa Maria are under bond. together with a property belonging to a Mir. Lacey. from which l hear good reports.
 The great Congress mine, opened 10 depth of some 4000 feet, is extract. ing some of the old time rich ores and work goes on as in the many years of the past. This property was first op- erated in 1887 but closed in 1891 until the advent of the Santa Fe. Prescott and Phoenix railway in 1895. There AAeAS D-N4A AIAAA4AOLlS OA OOi4dlS spent ne. e and many more millions extracted from the various openings on the numerous claims belonging to this group. My space is too limited to give this property the description it de- serves and l can only state that the Congress group is the best equipped gold property in the territory and has been successfully handled for many years.
 1 The Octave mines are seven miles east of Congress and are a good prop erty fully equipped for energetic work which has been going on for many years under operations of millionaire oil operators of Pennsylvania
 ! The Rincon group is one of the new properties placed upon paying basis.
 The Planet-Saturn group has just been acquired by the Alvarado Gold Mining company and Is now being un- watered. It is a great big vein of ore which will be made to pay with proper reduction facilities. The Levia- 1 than and MaXmillian mines are close 1 by these properties and are large veins of low grade ore that will produce immense tonnage.
 ] Further south is the great Vulture mine, which produced many millions of gold from above depth of about three hundred feet. It will be reopened one of these days and made to yield many millions more.
 | There Is a great mining section east ! of Wickenburg. I have been over it many times and can say that there are many properties of merit there. The O'Brien property is now being operat- ed by the Interior Mining and Trust company. under the supervision of F. x. O'Brien. This is one of the best and largest gold mines in the territory. I have been thro=gh a crosscut on the 2OO-foot level showing i fifty-three feet of vein and have per sonaIly sampled 8 feet os free ore have since seen this great body of ore crosscut at 300 feet in depth and saw immense bodies of ore. some of it in a free and some in a sulphide form. I have seen the results of a sampling at this point made by an associate and the results were astonishing If TOrlld
