ENTERING UPON PROsPEROUs
 YEAR.

" Beyond doubt, that part of Yav. apai county I visited is entering upon the most prosperous year in it's his. tory," said Deputy Assessor and Tax Collector Charles M. Raiblc, who re. turned yesterday from an official visi' to the southern and southwestern L.s tricts of the county.
 "Prosperous conditions prevail in all of the principal industrics,' hc said, "and the farmer, stockraiser and miner nlkc are jubilant over the outlook. l find n decided increase in the number of sheep grazing on the desert and mesa range over last year. and cattlemen are returning increased assessments as well. An investigation of tho mining districts, shows n large amount of costly machinery installed in the past twelve months, with the prospect that many new machines will be erected before long.
 Perhaps the busiest district in the county is to be found in the Brad. shaw Mountain range. There the Tiger Gold company is running it's twenty. stamp mill steadily on ore from its mines, employing large force of men. The old Tiger mine is being rehabili' | tatcd and put in shape for the resump. ton of operations. A new shaft house
 is being built, large boilers are being installed and other improvements made preparatory to starting the wheels again in motion at this famous old pro ducer the development of the Ga
 zcllc and Castle Rock properties con
 tinues, and the management of these
 concerns appear to be well satisfied
 with the result of the explorations. A
 number of other companies arc opening claims in the vicinity of these proper | ties and the entire force nt the Wild
 flower mine K employed in building
 n road from Crown King ,o the camp
 over which the heavy machinery vii | be hauled that is to be installed there At the Lincoln the fifteen stamp mil
 is kept grinding steadily on ore iron
 the mine. Regular shipments of orr and concentrates are being made iron | this camp to the Humboldt smcltcr | IL is also rumorcd that the Orc Con
 solidatcd Mines company will rc
 sumc work on it's mines in the Min nchaha district in short time, and
 number of new camps have bee
 started in the past year in the Silvc Mountain district, which is more iso
 lated than the others, being severn
 miles distant from the railroad term
 nus at Crown King.
 "At the Big O'Brien.' he added i, "I found large force of men engage , in placing machinery in the new mil |. Much delay has been experienced T the fOnNlfh'llbH bi NnlN pi""h 'F Ht f water in the streams and the poor col { diiion of the roads.
 z "At the Octave Gold Mining cor Q pany's property small force of m' '- is engaged ovcrhauling machinery ai '' getting the mine and plant in shal Q for active operation as soon as the nc d pumping machinery is delivered al l' installed.
 Q "At the Three Black Buttos mil U owned by rhe Monarch Mining a s Smelling company, the new mill W 't almost finished when I visited 't camp. There k large body of 'c in sight in this property, and DC miners of the district look forwo '' to this mine becoming one of the lar us producers of the southern part of w county.
 "In the Placcrita district, the
 ,erprise Mining and Developm' '' company is pushing down new sh a' as rapidly as men and machinery h' do it, and in the Kirkland district, ire Monica mine is showing better W ys every foot of development. rsc
