fFrom Saturdays Daily)


 Cherry Greek, according to tne statement made yesterday by J. R' Boyer, IS entering the most active and pronounced era in extensive mine development that has ever faced It. More mines are under operation, abd all indications favor the establish ment of better and more prosper ous future also than has ever been in evidence.
 The methodieal and extensive open ing up of the new and old claims is unlike in the olden day, and to get into the ground at great depth is the principle of the heavy capital out layed at so many places. Probably no miner in the field is more capable of speaking of the possibilities of the dis.ric, than is Mr. Boyer, and to con. servatively estimate what the district is capable of determining, he is forti' fed behind nearly a third of a cen ,ury of continuous residence and prae' tical effort in operating.
 Since the recent uneovering at great depth of sulphide ores at the Leghorn mine of the Arizona Copper. Gold Mines company a revival of work on that line of development has stimu. lated all other companies and through that channel results are expected to exemplify the wisdom of sinking to similar depth with the same results nc. complished, on the many other mines adjacent.
 At the present time the Federal Mining company, one of the strongest enterprises in the county, financially, is pursuing a practical course of de. velopment, and in few months it is anticipated their plans will be ad vanced 10 such an extent as 10 war. rant the creation of one of the big. gest mining undertakings in the eoun. ty. This company is eSpending great amount of money in surface improve. ments to accommodate a large force. and getting ready for the operating of their ground on line of work that will call for the disposition of heavy capital to make the necessary determinations below.
 They feel very much encouraged. and the mill to be used for test ing the ores mined is being erected and will soon be running. More or less reticence prevails within this organization, and they are pursuing a course that carries with it very much interest and earnest regard from all in that section.
 The reviving of an old proposition. that of the Climax Mining company. which was closed down A few yea,s ago, during the panieky period, is of recent occurrence. l.. N. Wombacber has been placed in charge of tho property, and has established the old camp on its former lines. The ~ max is owned by eastern people. and The purpose is 10 keep the enterprise running in the future and to carry out the development plans outlined when the mine was abandoned. Tbi, property mas a mill to handle the yield.
 The Hillside Consolidated is fAloc, Ing out system of deep mine work that IS decidedly encouraging to its owners as they reach to points below Their workings are still in the xxi. dlzed zones, and the width of the ore bodies continues favorable. A, sinking goes on the company is drift. ing to the north and in all point, opened the showing is satisfactory.
 Individual work is also to be sec, at many points in the district, and every foot of desirable ground is take np' Several investors have recently been to the section and the sale of many mines is now under nepotiat;o,
 Considerable gold bullion is comino rom late test runs, and several bars nave been sent mp to the city in tine past few weeks.
