PRESCOTT REGION.


 lions for placer mining in tae Walker district was perhaps the mose note worthy feature of the year. The sud den prominence Of the Copper Basin district, however, gained the most at- tention among mining men.
 LASSAYAMPA DISTRICT
 The working of small operators ane development of prospects kept this q strict busy througdout the greater rortion of the year. The Emporia be gan exploring the old "One Hundred and Ten ledge" and sunk a snaft 200 ft. The Baltimore group. situated ir the old placer ground of t-e Hassa- gampa river. once the property of Enoch Williams. were taken under bond by W. F. Fry and development begun. Tle United Gold d. Copper Co. worked q force of men at the American Eagle mine and made good he2dway on its tunnel lt xept 10 of its 2e-stamp mill running. The R. A. M mined considerable ere, whicl it treated in the old Mescal mill. The lcng idle Cash mine is being devei- cped by a new company of Bangor. Maine. capitalists. The company add ed considerable equipment. The Mes cal group, taken over by the United Gold Mines Co was worked, and a new 20-stamp min. cyanide and slime plant put in. Fine ore was struck in the 3O0-ft level.
 i COPPER BASIN DISTRICT.
 Great things arc promised from this district aud exploring. so far as 1t las gons, bears out these predictions. The Pellet group. owned by the Lan- caster Copper Mining Co. was sold to Pittsburg syndicate. Two shafts on the property are below 500 it. Thc Logan mine was also sold. The shan is now down l59 ft-
 i BIG HUG DISTRICT.
 This area has been very busy. Work has been going along on the Poland and the Oriental. Good shipments b. leasers have been made from the Postmaster b the Fl Paso smelters. The New England Arizona Mining Co. has its main shaft down below sec it.. cutting many rich stri1geTs be- low the 30e-ft level. The Redman. an old mine that found new operators last year has struck high-grade sul- plide ore in it's main shaft. now down below the 500-ft level Five stamps , Of it's mill are working.
 WALKER DISTRICT.
 Never since the pioneer days has this district been accorded so much attention. Not only have vein prop critics come in for consideration but the placer ground Is arousing more interest than for many years. The Spec mining Co. is putting in dredg- ing machinery and the officers feel confident the venture will be a sue cess. The Ebsrhart mine Iaas been a small producer all year. It has a paystreak I5 incaes wide that runs SlOO net to the ton. The Interstate Gold Co. has opened the main lode of the Pine Mountain group, with 3 200-ft. shaft. 4 shaft the same depth on the Lamartine mine has shown fine ore. The output of these mines keeps the Pine mountain mill busy. The Midnight Snap. Homestead and Eureka claims are all carefully deyel- oped. and these claims once worked by miners by the crude arrastras, give promise of paying
 WICKENBURG REGION. This region, containing the best de. velcped mines of the county, has not produced the bullion it should. Never the less. the big mines spent q good year gettinv ready for production ' This is true of such mines as Con gross, Octave and YaTneu.
 MARTINEZ DISTRICT.
 Tho Congress has kept a force og miners working througout the year, and from time to time sent bulliuAi bar to the mint. The YaTnell was un- watered, preparatory for extensive de velopment. The Fools Cullen mil.c has had 40 miners working during the latter part of the year continuing de- velOpment begun several years ago The United Gold Mines Co. did much work on its Alaska group. finishing i00-ft. shaft and drifting fully 100G ft- 4 test run of its mill on thc oto gave very satisfactory results.
 WEAVER DISTRICT.
 The Octave has been tlc prize mine l of this locality It shipped several 1 large bullion bars and this in spite l Of the fact that it spent most of the l tiura and attention bringing power l frcm it's WickenburS plant and put ting in new machinery The Golden | Ridge Mining & Milling Co. worked | consistently on the, Mark Hanna ana London group. Several shafts under l 200 f. were sank. Tze Peterson 1 claims were sold to a Los Angeles | company and steady work on them I was wased through tle last of che year. After sending in s-yeral large | bullion bars the Monica closed dowa ! under bankruptcy. The property is 1 developed 10 a depth of I0Oft and has | n 2Ostamp mill and q cyanide plano. | The obligation of the company is said | 10 be less than S7O.000. The property | consists of 21 locations.
 BRADSHAW REGION.
 This rich territory vas the scene | Of some production and considerable development. Many of tGe salf proven mines went ahead with under ground work without regard to returns. Yet now and then s bullion bar found its way into Prescott from these mount I, ains
 TIGER DISTRICT.
 The Gladstone McCabe worked a ! force of msn through the year on the | Gladstone side. The shaft in these workings went below the 10O0-ft- sta ton. Toward the end of the year 70 men were working and an average of 20 tons of ore was shipped to the Fl ii Paso smelters. Until the Humboldt ' smelteT closed this mine was tae greatest gold producer in the county. The Grayeagle mine of the Tiger Gold Co. sent in bullion at the rate of $500 a week It worked but a small force {; or men.
