 PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 24.-Situat- ed a mile above sea level. and famed by the cool currents of the upper air stratas. Prescott and Yavapai county in general are immune from the ener- vating effects of the summer caloris. that energy-sapping visitant which at less climatically-favored points throws the human machine into low gear and tones down it's speed to meet the ex- actions of the Sons of Rest In other words. mining and general activity IS not lessened here as midsummer draws near. To the contrary. it is in- creasing as the following summary or the work at the mines will go 10 show.
 Operations have been resumed at the old Holmes mine in Black tanoR The property was recently taken over by Willard Bonderant and associates of Los Angeles. who purpose to devel- op it at length. The history or t1e Holmes mine dates back to the early eos. and its record as a producer of high grade gold ore runs concurrently herewith. Early development was prosecuted by means of tunnel ana disclosed free milling ore that saaa- pied as high as S20o per ton in mhl- run lots The general average grade of the ore at that time mined Is said to have been S60 per ton. IL was re duced at fair profit in a small hill erected on the property wagon road has been built connecting the mine with the camp of Mayer. and the old workings are now being rehabili- tated as preliminary to extended mining operations.

 Mining conditions in the Loma Pri- eta shaft continue to be satisfactory and 10 indicate that it is being sunk in the main copper ore channel or the Copper Basin district. The body Of chalcopyrite ore encountered at depth of S5 feet continues to i'll the vertical shaft and appears to be nx- ure therein. Each days development work records an improvement in the ore body and tends to more thorough ly demonstrate that the Loma Prfeta Mines company is the owner of one of the most valuable partially developed copper propositions in Yavapai county.

 The deep development tunnel being driven Co the heart of the Bradshaw mountains by the Bradshaw Develop ment company. recently tapped blind" deposit of copper ore of prom ising possibilities and is in general derloustrating the worth of the ere bodies of that section. Primarily it IS being driven for the purpose of open ing at depth the deposits Of high grade gold and silver ore opened nearer sur face on number of well known prop critics. When completed il will have a length of l5.0O0 feet-east-west-- and will have tapped at depth of from 100 ro 1000 feet the Lincoln Fairview. Nelson. Grown King. War Eagle-Gladiator. Del Pssco.
