THE BRADSHAWS FACE BRIGHT
 FUTURE
THREE BIG FACTORS AP-
 PEAR; NELSON STRIKE, ODERN REDUCTION,
 DEEP TUNNEL PROJECT.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

(From Tuesdays Daily.)
 Three factors that will bring the Bradshaw mining field into deserved and prominent rating at an early date, have practically passed the specula- tive stage" said Eli s. Perkins, mer chant and miner of Crown King, who visited Prescott last week. He re- viewed industrial conditions of that locality by saying:
 Makes a Comparison.
 "The Nelson situation may be sum marized as follows: This determina- ton is an unqualifiedly big one in mines and mining of not alone that field, but of the county generally. What the Little Daisy strike means to copper, so does the Nelson be- come as solidly attached to the future of gold mining in this big field. Both properties essentially prove that deep mining is the key to unlock the treas ure chamber of mother earth, and although the Jerome region may claim one mine, so may the Brad shaws cherish the other. 1 believe the Nelson is destined to rank as one of the big permanent gold pro ducers of the west, and with its large ore bodies determined at such great depth, gold mining in Yava- pal county will be stimulated to better and more practical regard than ever before. This mine is open for inspection and aside from local in tcrest that has reached keen stage since the mother shoot was tapped, outside engineers as well as opera tors should make an investigation of It's underground conditions and be- come conversant with the plans so successfully carried out in the mak- ing of big one.
 Practical Operations.
 The sale of the old tailings dump of the Crown King Mining Company, and the installing Of plant to treat this 10000 tons, by oil Notation marks the beginning of another and far more brighter era for Bradshaw mines than has ever taken place. While the pit is supposed to carry gold values of over q quarter of a million of dol lars, the pecuniary feature of this re- duction undertaking is of little con cern when contrasted with the prin- ciple of recovery that makes its ad- vent for the first time to treat the heavy tonnage available in that region of complex ores. A successful plant will regenerate a score of mines that are simply awaiting results from the new process. Messrs. Randolph and Gemmell are practical men, and at present they arc transforming the old stamp mill into plant of which there $ but little doubt will make the re- covery as desired. This process in all probability will be shaped up to receive other mine ores in the future, and in which Crown King will realize a great boon in having a custom mar ket for its unlimited production.
 Gigantic Undertaking.
 With the Nelson strike absolutely | and the oil Notation process anchored, that huge project known as the Arizona Deep Mining and Tunnel Company, forms trinity of interests which may be essentially classed as material to mines and min ing, as well as of noteworthy import to the above section. This deep tun- nel is under headway, and is to pene tratc at right angles all the principal Assures between Switchback 9, of i the Bradshaw Mountain railway, and the settlement of Hooper, a distance of approximately 22,000 feet. The lccp bore, for instance, will cut the Nelson shoot, now exposed, at vertical depth of about 900 feet be- low the ore body recently cut in the ower tunnel. Production from this field will, accordingly, assume incal- ;ulablc proportions and will have oouyant effect on mining likewise through the country. The Bradshaw is this: The mines are there md the advance guard of better times $ on the ground in d modern reduc- ion plant, the Nelson determined af- CT long battle, and the deep tunnel s under way, in preliminary man lcr."
