BROWN BROTHERS.

Of all great agencies contributing to the development of a mining locality, none is d more potent factor than the mining supply and machinery house No mineral region may be said to be exploited and opened up by private capital, without the aid of modern ma chinery. Prospects are transformed in to mines by the agency of modern and powerful machinery. and old producers are unwatered and again placed upon the list of shippers through the same agency. Having thus defined the inn portance of a mining machinery house as an ally of mining development. the propriety of devoting fitting space in a review of the mining interests or Yavapai county, to the men. firms and corporations which have promoted the prosperity of the great industry in this manner, becomes at once apparent. and that Brown Bothers occupy a promi- nent position among the machinery and supply houses of the territory will be universally conceded.
