 cious ore, the production of the Uni ted Verde mine, is 5,000,000 pounds. Within d short time the shelter out put will be increased to S.000,000 pounds per month. This will be furnaces, but practically all of the ore production of the United Verde mine. The crushing and screening plant which is being constructed at the mouth of the tunnel connecting with the mine on the 1000-foot level, is practically completed. Primarily, its purpose is to supply 1000 tons Of fines" daily for the reverberatory furnaces, but practically all fthe ore mined will pass through the crush CTS. The United Verde Company em- ploys 1900 men.
 Copper Basin Activity.
 Most of the silicious ore used at the Clarkdale smelter for fluxing pur- poses comes from the Commercial mine, located in Copper Basin about 10 miles from Prescott. Mining in Copper Basin is being prosecuted un- der mineral conditions which indicate
  bodies of copper ore thorughout an extended area. In fact. it is probable camp will intimately be established in the Basin Of similar importance to Jerome, the latter being the center of copper mining activity in Yavapai county. The Commercial mine is out. putting about 100 tons of copper OK ides daily and is soon to be opened at a depth of 400 feet, where a body of sulphide ore was recently encountered at a point near the side line of the Rob Roy claim of the Loma Prieta Mines Company The Loma Prieta shaft has depth of 1S0 feet at this writing and is in a solid body of chal- cppygAss ore from the S5-foot point dowrL. Which is to say it is in ore for afaepth sof 45 feet
 .i ri Mills. ,Grind Steadily.
 Activity in the copper-carrying areas of Yavapai county has a counterpart. in the gold. ssilver, tungsten and lead branches of theslocal mining industry. The mills in the Crown King country are grinding steadily on the silver gold ores minedsE in the Bradshaw mouhtains and vicinity: the mills of the senator district are similarly em- ploysd solf' the ores of that section; along tffe Hassayamp the stamps are drpppffig scontlHuously on ores mined in the. vicinity, of that auriferous streafS aA5way down, in the Tiptop cdunkrS the mill of ,ths Tiptop Con- solidHed Company is turning out high grade tungsten and silver concen- trates; over at Humboldt the smelter s.werking at capacity on ores mined in all portions of the county. Old mills in all sections are being over hauled and revamped preparatory to resumption of activity.
 Animation at Mines.
 A trip to the mines over Yayapai's splendid roads discloses a scene of general mining activity. Probably the most animated in the annals of the local mining industry The tungsten mines of the Camp Wood and Tuie sections are increasing their output and working forces. The United Verde Company is preparing to add 800 men to it's corps of miners. The Little Daisy" management win  soon add appreciably to the number of men on the job. The Venture Hill Company will within few days re sume operations with three shifts of miners. The Verde Apex Company is preparing to resume development work. The Jerome Victor Extension Company is cleaning up its mine with a nominal force and will soon have full crew at work below ground. The Green Monster company is pre- pairing to augment its corps of miners and to engage in deep mining on an extended scale. The Boston & Jer- ome Copper Company is shaping its plans for the resumption of work.
 General Activity.
 The Henrietta and Butternut mines are being worked with increased crews. The Great Southern Company will shortly add to it's force of min
