Those South of the Famous Basin in Yavapai County Resemble Veins of the To- napah Section in Nevada.
THE NORTH THOSE OF
 GOLDFIELD COUNTRY
Great is Interest Being Stim- ulated in Brashaw Section by Miners, Prospectors and Operators.
By William p. De Wolf.

Two rich vein systems, as different from each other as are the veins in Goldfield from those in Tonopah. vitalized the mining industry of the Crown King country, highly mineral ized section of Yavapai county. South of Crown King basin the ore bodies are for the most part replicas of those which have made the estates of the Tonopah Mining and Tonopah Bel mont companies the most valuable silver-gold mines in the United States; whereas the ore bodies north of the basin are to some degree similar to those whose golden wealth has given fame to the Goldfield Consolidated and Jumbo Extension companies.
 In the bottom of Crown King basin is the camp of Grown King. made easily accessible by a switch-back railroad which is marvel of engin- eering skill. The Bradshaw mountains from the rim of the basin and give to it an appearance not unlike a gigan- tic gold-pan that might have been fashioned by the hand of Nature. Above and surrounding the basin are mines having a production record that days of Arizona. From these mines a down-hill haul is afforded for the ores to the railway station in the camp of Crown King. These facilities, in O raocura cunplv an nutlat for the mine product. The essential need, however is a large custom mill in the bottom of the basin. A suit able reduction plant at that point would afford a nearby market for the ores and lessened transportation charge, thereby encouraging the oper- ators of the less thoroughly developed properties to increased mining ef forts. Such a plant would doubtless prove very remunerative.
 Reduction Problem Solved.
 The silver-lead-zinc ores that are being mined in the hills to the south of Crown King basin present no re- duction problem that can not be solved by the oil Notation process. These ores are, in fact, now being successfully treated by that process on limited scale in the Crown King mill and in the 20-stamp mill on the Tiger group of silver claims. The same method is likewise being em- ployed for the reduction of the gold ores of the Crown King field. Neither of the mills is. however, large enough to take on any appreciable tonnage of custom ore. Nevertheless, there is large amount of custom ore available in the Crown King field. A much larger tonnage will be available as soon as provision is made for its re- duction. In substantiation of the foregoing the following resume of past and present mining activity there is given:
 South of the basin, on the old Tiger group of claims, there is large tonnage of silver ore blocked out on and above the 400-foot level. Some of this ore carries 1000 ounces in silver to the ton. The Orc Belle workings Tiger Gold-show a large tonnage of $500 ore. The dump carries a large tonnage of from s20.00 to s45.00 ore. In the Savoy mine there is an ore shoot having an average gold value of s2S.00 per ton. Another ore shoot in the same workings carries 25O ounces in silver to the ton. The Tus- cumbia group holds a large tonnage of silver-gold ore that samples S59.20 per ton. The Eclipse mine shows an ore body of large proportions that has general average value of S60.00 per ton. Some of the ore samples 1000 ounces in silver in ton lots.
 Value of Gold Belt.
 The hills to the north of Grown King basin are girdled by the gold belt of the Bradshaw. Many years have passed since this gold belt was first subjected to the acid of develop ment and found to be 20 Karat fine.
