In the Cherry Creek district there are numerous mines and prospects. some. being developed and some await ing the hands of capital. Among them may be mentioned the Pfau Mining and Milling company. the Gold Lodes Min ing company, the Lion Gold Mining company and a company just organ ized to take over the HOtsenpelter in terests in a rich group of mines near there. This latter company has ample capital and has organized and incor- porated a railroad company under the name of the Humboldt and Verde Val ley Railroad company to build a road from it's property on Cherry creek to the main line at. or near Humboldt. There have been some new finds in the last few weeks of rich silver ores east of Cherry creek station and just to the east of this road and near to the smelters at Hum boldt are the proper ties of the Baumann Copper company. Great dikes of diorite traverse the formation of pOrphyry and slate. be sides numerous quartz veins. The veins carry considerable iron and are stained with and carry contents of copper in its various forms. as azurite, malachite. chalcocite and chalcOpyrite accompanied by more or less values in the precious metals.
 Still east Of the Prescott and East ern railroad and tributary thereto are the mines of the Stoddard Copper com pany, upon which large and heavy ma chinery is now being installed. and work gotten under way. which will be the making at Copper -AIountainsof one of the largest and best producing prop critics of the territory. Close by is the Binghamton group and other well known developed properties which to- gether assure a great future for the district
 To the east of the Prescott and East ern railroad is the McCabe and Chap arral districts. Chief among the many mines of this section are the proper ties of the Ideal Mining company. op- erating the Gladstone and McCabe mines. The McCabe mines for many years have been large producers of rich ores but under the. ownership of Ethe Model Mining company became entangled on account of stock specula- tion, which caused the property to be sold and purchased by the Ideal Min ing company. Cecil c. FenneI has for the past few years successfully man aged the Gladstone mine, one of the properties of the Ideal group. and pro duced many thousands of dollars of rich ores. It is believed that under his management a large output from the old McCabe will again be maintained. The Jessie Mines company is operating it's properties near to the McCabe group. The Jessie mine has produced many hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of ore in the past and has been rejuvenated by the addition of new blood and capital. Great things are promised for this property and new and large bodies of ore have been un- i covered in the Union mine one of the properties. of the group.
 Nearby are the properties of the Dividend Consolidated Gold Mining company. owning the Dividend and i Galena groups, also the Independence
 mine, all old time properties. Great is the future of the series of veins in : this granite and slate formation, car rying large bodies of quartz of an av- | craze of four feet in width with good values in gold and silver. The com | pany is contemplating improvements
 which will make this property dividend paying in reality as we'll as in name. l Other properties in the basin are the
 Lelan. owned and worked by Judge E.
 w. Wells; the New Years group, the | Triangle Mining company property.
 the Gopher, Rebel and various other
 mines and prospects whose names do not occur to the writer at this moment.
 The Iron King property and the old Silver Bell, the latter of which pro
 duced several hundred thousand dol lars in the early days of the county, are immediately to the east of the
 great smelter at Humboldt In fact lt was the old Silver Bell mine that first maintained a smelter on this site in the seventies. and which has been locally known as the old Silver Bell shelter site ever since.
 I The Iron King group, unfortunately, is in serious litigation at present, and idle. There are large bodies of low property carrying. gold. silver, copper. lead, zinc, arsenic and antimony, but
 the bodies are so large and the cost
 of mining can be done so cheaply tha;
 notwithstanding the presence of the
 objectionable metals, a way will be found to work these ores at a profit.
 On the Poland branch of the Prescott land Eastern railroad are the proper
 ties of the Braganza Mining company
 working the old Henrietta. mine. the Cyprus company. the Burlington Gold
 Mining company, the Alto Mining com pany. Annie mines. Providence Mining
 company's property and Oriental Min
 ing company, working the Lottie and
 Postmaster mines; the Merchants Min l ing company's property, the Great
 Belcher and other properties and the
