 have done considerable work anc
 milled some ore in a small mil
 north of Skull Valley station. Thei
 property is we'll located and worth,
 of development if the values are a.
 represented. These two pioneers de
 serve to get something for theii
 ground as they have held it foi
 twenty years.
 Jim Russell, merchant and hote
 man here has a group of five good
 claims above the Sanders group and
 has an eighty foot shaft with the
 bottom all in pay ore. His ore lies
 in large iron dyke and carries gold
 silver, copper, lead and zinc He
 feels much elated over the results
 of recent development
 Coughran Brothers own a number
 Of good claims adjoining the Rus
 sell grounl and are actively engag- ed in development Their ground is an extension of the iron dyke on which Mir. Russell has such a hatter- ing showing. and they adjoin the
 Brow group on the other end.
 Dan Day has recently acquired a large number of claims in the dis trict and on some of them there is good showings of ore and splendid indications on all of them. He has recently gone to Miami to work where he will incidentally study the formation of that big copper camp so that he may better understand his own ground when he returns to work 1t.
 R. w. Roberts is building a three stamp prospecting mill which it is figured will produce enough gold from the ores of the queen mine on the rim of the mountains between Copper Basin and Prescott to pay for carrying on development, and judging from the richness of speci- mems shown in which the yellow me tai is in abundance, the calculations are well placed. The ore will be packed on burros about a mile from the mine to the mill When this plant demonstrates what such a mill can do on good ore, other prospec- tors may bestir themselves to find ore that will do their work for them as Mir. Roberts intends his shall do. He richly deserves success and all indications are that he will have it.
 The Logan Copper company which was considerably exploited just before the copper panic is lying de and for no apparent good req son, as the formation is ideal for opening up a good body of pay ore. This property was sold to the cor the present owners by Iohn H. Ehle one of the pioneers 'f the county. He was taking out md sacking ore when the mine was old, but for some reason the rich Ire shoot has never been touched ". the present owners.
 John Martin is at work near iamsgate on what Is considered by ome as an extension of the dyke ystem leading into Copper Basin nd he Is developing some good opper ores and in quantities which eem ample to make a big producer V
 Only few miles from Martins amp are the camps of the McKin- d y Mining and Development Com ' any and the Derby mine. both of hich are in the Copper Basin dis jet, though not in the Basin prop :. MT. Mckinley is actively devel- 5 ping his ground and is finding good re, while the Derby is quiet at U resent. II Only a few miles from the Derby '" Id lying on the slope of the moun- ', ins between Prescott and Copper o asin, Dick Hoskins and Tom Ho- V Tn are developing a remarkable oking piece of property. They are ." lying a tunnel from a natural tun- Ill I site while the slope of the hill is al most 45 degrees. They have driven vels above their present workings O' some strong quartz veins in lich they found gold, silver and ,:. pper values nearly high enough to m"' m ip. They have driven tunnel be- ,' W these levels about 200 feet per U' ndicular and are in almost to the 'r int where they expectto tap their " " own pay shoots above. But, in wing to the point where they are w at work they have cut through D, large zone of sulphide ores that ? rich enough in copper and gold
