A Yavapai Property With Promising
 Future, Developing Rapidly.

Prescott, Aug. 2S.-(Special Cores pondence of The Republican)-The Monica mines of Yavapai county, sit uated some thirteen miles north of Kirkland, Arizona, employing some sixty-five men, has been pursuing some extensive develipment work on the 400 and 700 foot levels, exposing some wonderfully large and rich veins, prom ising a royal dividend to the owners in the future.
 With such success as has been won in the perfeect treatment of the MOni ca ores it is anticipated the develop ment of one of the largest dividend paying mines of Arizona willfOllow.
 While the Monica is practically young and undeveloped the present outlook is such that it's owners are planning the installation of forty stamp mill to take the place of it's present twenty-stamp mill. The Mon ica ores are wonderfully adapted to the cyanide process, making an extraction of some 95 per cent in all amalgame and cyaniding.
 The process adopted when first op erating their mill was wet crushing in water amalgamating on plates and the
