From Tuesdays Daily.

most active at the presen: time of
 any of the mining sections adjacent
 to Prescott, and from one end of 1 the district to the other the several camps are in the channel of an ac-
 tive career. In addition to the work going on, the character of the sudden
 disposition that is in evidence seems to be centered toward a permanent
 foundation for future development and the initial operations are being mould
 ed with this end in view.
 Along these lines, reports from the
 Gold Basin mines state that their five
 stamp mill is running steadily, and
 the returns are satisfactory. An
 abundance of ore is available for treatment and the mine work is show ing up better than was anticipated.
 The ore from this property is a free
 milling ore and the vein at the pres
 ent time measures four feet across. This enterprise is under the general
 management of Andy Linn and he is
 entertaining at the mine Messrs. Bar
 ker and Fields, stockholders of the company, who come from Seattle.
 Since work was resumed a few
 weeks ago on the Miralby mine, own ed by Kellar and Kadovich. develop ment has terminated more successfully than was anticipated. A free ore is also the yield from this property and these men are said to be taking out an average of two tons of ore per day that will give values of at least $40 per ton. Recently they had a lot treated at the Gold Basin mill nearby, and so flattering were the returns that they now have decided to erect a plant for treating the yield. An i'm proved arastra or small quartz mill is under consideration and later one or the other will be selected. In the development of this property the yield is more than offsetting the expense, and in addition to that fact, the own CTS are making better than daily wages. The Miralby has long been known as good piece of ground and the work given it substantiates this belief
 The rehabilitation of the Midnight Test works is now going diligently forward under the management of G. A. Allsted. The company recently purchased the mill that was on the Home Run mine, together with all the surface improvements. Most of these have been taken up the gulch to the Midnight Test and the grading for the new mill site is now under head way. When installed the company will have one of the best reduction plants of its character in the county, the old mill having but a short life on the old Home Run mine. It is of the Nissen type. Following the surface improvements going on the retimbering and enlarging of the old shaft on the Midnight Test is under headway. This new work has reached point about 13O feet down, the orig inal shaft showing a depth of 300 feet. When the work is completed | the company will be prepared to op- crate to better advantage than was given under former conditions.
 At the camp of the old Emporia | a crew of men are at work in taking the water out of the main shaft and in cleaning out an old cave-in. The intention IS to continue work after | that is accomplished and to reach a depth of at least 800 feet. Mine materials is on the ground for this purpose. The Emporia is under the superintendency of H. H. Reyes. for merely operating it.
 At the Sunny Side camp the reports are that the Huntington mill is main taining its steady yield in free gold and is running 25 hours in a shift. The yield is gratifying and the pro- jectors are more than pleased with their investment. A heavy tonnage of free ore is available and an i'm mense vein is visible, requiring more of a quarry principle to mine than ordinarily is the case.
 It is said that in few weeks op- eratiOns will again be started on the Cook group under Col. J. c. Rankin, who has sent a force of miners to perform the annual assessment work, after the completion of which the contracting for development will fol- low.
