PRESCOTT, AriZ., Oct. 2S.-Sever- al events have transpired of late to add stability and zest to the mining industry of Yavapai county and to increase its already significant i'm portance as a prime factor in Arizo- mas mining affairs. The matters re- ferred to involve the outlay of consid- e-able sums of money and demon strate conclusively that the mining districts of the county as a whole are participating in the mining prosperity which is so forcefully emphasized in the Jerome field. The more promi- nent are the Orc Belle deal, the pro- duction of ore at the Nelson mine, the financing of the Cash mine, the reduc- ton of ore at the Arizona mine and the installing of modern machinery at the old Ostave mine.
 For some time past the Gro Belle Development company. corporation dominated by E. $. Riggs, M. G. Brad shaw, C. C. Cowan and Eli Perkins, has been operating at profit the holdings of the Tiger Gold Mining Recently, however, Perkins sold the interests of himself and associates to H O. Howard, a Nevada mining man. Howard, in turn, has interest ed New York capital in the venture and is now in New York city arrang- ing for mining operations on a more extended scale than formerly. The plans include the erection of a mill. the opening of the mine at greater depth and extensive exploration in the ore bodies already exposed.
 Has Produced s2,ooo,oo
 The old Tiger Gold is one of the bonanzas of former years and has to its credit an ore production record of nearly s2.000,000. At depth, how ever, the ores became base, and fall ing to respond satisfactorily to the treatment processes of the past, the mine was closed down. The success which attends reduction by the oil Notation process has again given the Tiger Gold ores a commercial value. Bradshaw, Riggs and associates have been mining and milling these ores at a profit for a number of months and will continue to do so until such time as Howard inaugurates his more com prehensive mining and milling plans. Riggs formerly operated in the Grip pie Creek district, and later. with Bradshaw. in the mining sections of Southern Nevada.
 Acquire 400 Acres
 The Jerome Verde Contact Copper company has taken over 400 acres of mineral ground in the heart of the famous Jerome copper belt and is ar ranging for its development at depth. The acreage adjOins the Pittsburg Jerome, and Hull Copper companies on the southwest, the Venture Hill on the north and southwest. and the Boston & Jerome and Verde Central on the south It completely surrounds a portion of the Hull Copper compa- ny's estate, control of which passed recently to W. A. Clark of the United Verde mine for s1,000.000 The Je- rome Verde Contact ground carries the same iron gossan outcrop that prevails on the Venture Hill property and shows strong copper indications at surface. Development plans have not as yet been completed.
 Connection of the two main levels in the Nelson mine (recently made) affords 500 feet of backs. or stoping ground, and puts the property in line for immediate production. The ore now being shot down carries a gold content in excess of s25 per ton and
