 Arrivals in Prescott yesterday from the western slope of the Brawshaw Mountains bring the interesting in formation that the establishing of an engineer camp of the territorial highway at Minnehaha Flat, with D.. M. Bunker in charge, is creating much interest in that section -ana=is welcomed as one of the greatest move ments ever started in that mining region. Mir Bunker has a large camp, and his assistants are locating the line south from that point, pass ing the Pacific Copper camp at Silver Mountain and terminating about four miles beyond. The line will be ex tended to Columbia later, and it is said a very low per cent grade will be established with fine material Ob- tainable all along the route for con strueting a desirable roadbed. So well pleased are mining men over the probability of the road being built within the next few months that the reestablishing of commercial relations with Prescott, which in recent years has not prevailed through lack of transportation facilities, is practical Iv assured. At least half a dozen operating companies will have better accommodations in reaching this city than formerly and with the indvid- ual miners, an increased mercantile business will follow. The Pacific company will. it is said by c. w. Mitchell, viee-president, few days ago at his camp, probably ship direct from Prescott, thereby avoiding heavy mountain grades in and out of Crown King to the camp. Others in that section have also expressed them selves as favoring the highway on the same line of consideration.
 The repairing of the old road be- tween Hooper and Minnehaba Flat is under way and it is expected to be opened in a short time.
 In mining development in the Brad shaws, there is considerable excite meut over the showing made few days ago on the Pacific property, m ners' reporting that in Crosseut No. l on the north vein, at a depth of 63O feet, 34-foOt vein was cut that gave gold values of from $4 to $16 ton, with ? per cent in copper and 6 ounces in silver. This crosseut is being run to explore the four veins that show on the surface, and is now entering the second one, exposing the vein for forty feet, which appears on the surface over 75 feet wide. A ear of high grade copper sulphides is at Crown King and will be shipped next week to the Humboldt shelter for treatment
 The Lake Superior and Nevada Mining company, operating the Mas eotte mines, near Crown King, are receiving machinery for the new re- duction plant to treat 100 tons a day. The new two drum electric hoist, the first to be installed in the Bradshaw district with the three ton motor truck. and a miscellaneous assOrt- ment of machinery, has arrived at Crown King and is being sent to its destination.
 The Tiger Gold company and the old Tiger mills are running steadily and production is heavy from each in bullion and concentrates. A ear load of high grade ore from the old Tiger is at Crown King and will be shipped to Humboldt in a few days.
 Another favorable indication of the Bradshaw region and activity going on at many mines, is reflected in the number of freighting outfits, there being three firms following this line of business, all busily en- gagged.
 The strike made a few days ago by John Revello on his mine near the camp of the Pacific company, is also attracting much attention and iS believed +n he the fOreruuner of
