 AGAIN.
(From Sundays Daily.)

plant of the Arizona Smelling com. pany at Humboldt has awakened tho miners and prospcctors of Yavapai county to the fact that . market was open at home for the ores not rich enough to bc mined at profit when transportation to outside smcltcrs was considered, active development work has been commenced on q number of properties that have been. idle for scv. cral years.
 In the line with tho renewal of work on number of old time producer. up. on which work has been abandoned for n number of years. \. A. Prince. chief of police of this city, and F. w. Williams, city assessor and tax collector, the owners of the okl .Tus. cumbia properties in the Bradshaw mountains. realizing the worth of their possessions. have now small force of men ai work opening the abandoned ground. and prospecting for new shoots of ore.
 That their efforts have been reward cd Is evidenced from the fact that re gently after cleaning out the old s5 foot shaft m the Tuscnrora vein. which travcrscs the Tuscumbia ground. \ paystrcnk of ore over two feet in thick. ness was found in the bottom of the shaft and drift. n sample of which gave returns of o06 ounces of silver to the ton. with $s in gold.
 Finding after careful invest igatioh that the water was harder to handle in tho sinking of a shaft than in opening inc ground by tunnel. they employed civil engineer !. ]. Fisher to make sur. vcys for connections with the vein from the old tunnels through which the immense orc bodies of fhc Tus cumbin win were worked. with The re- suit that they nre now making prepn. rntions tc open inc vein from ono of thc series of tunnels on the Tuscumbia which will tnp thc Tuscarorx ledge at n depth of over loo feet beneath the bottom of tho old workings, md i'm. mc,lia,ely undcr where the ore shccs wns discovered.
 In prospecting through tbc old work ings of the Tuscumbin, rich or- was fouml in n number of places. enongh. iu thcir estimation. to induce them (, continue further invest gntiops int, the vein. which they believe WAS mol thoroughly explored iu it's cnrr ae vc1opment.
 Tho Tuscumbin was what Is considcr ~d a,nosy old time miners as n siIvel proposition, and was abandoned whci the price of the white metal fell be low ~ per ounce some years ago. A n producer it ranked with the Silvei Prince, Peck and other silver mines ir the Bradsbaw mountains. although i' was wot developed in as extensive | way ss the otk.'rs.
 The holding> of Prince and William, consist of four claims, which cover ir addition to inc above veins the Tus cumbia water right. The camp is sitn ate m the Bradshaw mountains. on tb. south side of Battle Fhn, about fou, miles from s'rown King. the present terminus of inc Bradshaw Mountain r,tiwoad.
 \ project Is now on foot among tn, mine owners of the lorsIity to build |, wagon road to Crown King, whSl win afford easy transportation charge' to and from the railrOnd terminus fol the output of the mines and the haul ing In of supplies.
 The group is known ns the lngcrsol group, ana is located less than on. mil- north of the Buster and Mohawl properties, which are s~ be the scene o active development on large scale il the near future.
