VARIOUS YAVAPAI MINES.

The Mount Union mill, fourteen miles south of Prescott, is running day and night and the force of men en- ployed has been doubled in the last two weeks The present company has been operating a little over two years and has not onl.- a good reduction plant running but has opened up the mine in a practical way, it's main shaft being down 500 feet.
 In a crosscut from the bottom of hundred foot shaft on the Bonanza group. nine miles south of Prescott. a fine strike of gold and silver ore was recently made. The vein is three and a half feet wide, one foot of it being good shipping ore The property IS owned by w. H. Thomas, R. N. Treth- way and George Martin.
 The Tam O'Shanter group of claims, near the WildnOwer group in the Brad shaw mountains, has been sold to D. E. Andrews and E. T. Frank, who are associated with California capitalists Early development is anticipated.
 Affairs at the Rincon camp are al- ways on the improve. President De- Armond is in full charge and probab- ly will remain in charge for several months. He stated to a representative of the News-H Herald recently that things were about as satisfactory at the camp as could be desired. The only thing lacking is 125 hp. engine which has been ordered to take the place of the engine which has been in use at the mine. This will arrive in about two or three weeks and in about a month from now the large engine will be installed and work will be re- sumed on the lower levels They are now taking out about an average or twelve tons of ore per day and some days take out as much as 2S tons This ore is all coming from the 95O- foot level and is of a high grade, av- eraging $32. 50 per ton. At the place where the ore is now being taken out the pay shoot is about thirty inches in width, varying, of course, to a great deal wider in some places
 In the district court Saturday ar gument was heard in the matter or the application of A. A. Johns to be allow ed ten per cent commission, amount ing to $3,000, on the sale of the Planet Saturn properties to the Alvarado Gold Mining company.
 The Esmeralda Mining Co.,, better known as the Cornucopia of Ash creek district, has some fine hoisting ma chinery at Dewey, which will be moved and installed as soon as transporta- ton can be secured. This company has been busy all winter, but as soon as this machinery is placed it will be- gin sinking and otherwise developing it's valuable property.
 'I have let a contract to push our lower tunnel thead several hundred feet and intend to put a large force of men to work in our stopes taking down ore which will be shipped to the Humboldt smelter," said E. $. Camp bell, one of the owners of the Express mine, to 8 Journal-Miner man. The lower tunnel, he said, is now in a dis tance of 750 feet and it taps the ledge at a depth of 750 feet from the apex of the vein. The ore streak is from two to two and one-half feet wide twelve inches of which is shipping ore that will average from $40 to $50 per ton. The remainder is milling ore which will pay well. In addition to this tunnel there is also another tun- mel on the ground and a shaft about 40 feet in depth, both of which are in ore of a good grade
