explored by those in search of the pre-. ciour and useful minerals, the wonder Of the mining world increases at the extent and variety of the mineral found. At th" present time consid. ,rnhlc interest is being manifested by raining men in tha, portion of the coun. tt lying wrs, of WIckcnhutg and Hill. edc. and extending as far as the coun. tg line on The extreme west. This rniurral belt extends into other coun. tIcs. but thi4 county has the richest mines y"t discovered m the district.
 Among the various promising prop critics m the section referred to in the mention |. the group of gold claims owned hy The Arizona Gold Mining and Milling company. which organiza tlon took over the property owned by Dan fhornc. Sr and s0n. Dan Thornc, Jf. The property promises to rival some of 'hr greatest low grade gold mines of ,ho world some day. notable nmong which arc the Mulatos mines, of Mexico: Tfcadwcll mines of Alaska three properties referred to produce large yefcentag" of the gold of tho civilized world The Mulntos mines are not as low grade as the Home Nakc and Trcadwcll. the latter two of which contain immense bodies I gold ore that runs below t3 per ton. The Treadwcll ore is quarric1 and ,uns by gravity into the great bat t.rics of stamps. The IIomcstakc mines are worked extensively and very cheaply. there being miles and miles of tunnels and shafts in the proper ty. Some day the Thorne property may be equipped just like the big fcl lows of history.
 The Arizona Gold Mining nnd Mill ing company property was located in 1891 hnd has been the property of the Thorncs ever since. There vas little at ,cntion paid to the property as it's gi gantic lodges seemed to ovcrawe the owners. They had had no experience with such colossal propositions. Scv work doing some development. He took a sample across the ore body some 90 or Co feet, and the ore assayed tD.Ds per tot. opened the eyes of the Thorncs and they immediately began to pros. poet the property.
 \ tunnel was run in on the ledge, nnd crosscutting done. The ore body was cut for width of 9T feet, and Inc foot wall was not then found. There is no telling how much wider the vein really Is. \ sample of ore taken across this great body of ore gave return of .j.7s m gold. The orc i- free milling and easily crushed.
 After asccrtaining that the property was possibly one of the greatest gold properties of the west tho owners cast ahou, to put it on the market. A company was formed and work done. nssays bsd not been more than average The work demonstrated that the first assays had not been more than average ones The result is now thnt an agent of the Alaska Treadwell- will arrive shortly Co examine the mine. If it holds up to representations, which were made by the officers of the company, there will likely be a sale to record that entails the changing hands of largo pile of money. should the -spcrs sent out by the Treaiwells report that he had found the Tborne property to bc another great low grade proposition, the sale would be certainty. There Is an abundance of water at hand at the Tborne property for all purposes. The Santa Maria flows ny the group and always has an abundance of water.
 The Thorne property is located about 2j miles west of Hillside, and about 20 miles south of the Copper King and Dick mines, owned by Law. Ter and Wells That entire scction Is coming to the front rapidly. and will soon rival and possibly outclas- the bisboc section. Yayspai county will prove her claims to being the ban. ner mineral county of Arizona or of the west, and the day IS only short
