PRESCOTT. AriZ-. March 2S.-Nith the arrival of spring and the removal of winters embargo on trails and roads hereabOuts. the twin industries of prospecting and mining have taken on additional virility in Yavapai coun- ty. IL is in fact doubtful if there is d mineral section in Arizona. with the singel exception of Oatman. where prospecting and mining are so geuer- ally in their scope as here.
 For some months past mining Oper- ations have increased in magnitude in all portions of Yavapai county. and the results have been and are in keep ing with the expenditure of labor and money. Throughout the fall months and until late in December, when sue cessive snow storms made further travel in the hills difficult and dan gerOus. scores of prospectOrs were in the ield. In fact. they were more numerous than at any previous time during the last ten years. The fore going statement is based upon the numerous location notices filed during the latter part of 1915 in the office of the county recorder of Yavapai county.
 Prospectors Numerous.
 PruspSctOTs and miners are again taking 10 the hills. and judging by their increasing numbers. Yayapai county is just entering upon the most prosperous mining period in it's his tory. Mines which have been in -or- tinuous- operation for a long time have of late augmented their working In Iar- .f have supplemented their ore mining appliances by the installation of ore reduction processes. In addition. large number of mining properties which for some time past had been quiescent. are again being worked. Many prospects are likewise for the first time undergoing development
 Notable among the men who are at present in the local mining field are: F. A. Julian and C. C. Starr. mining engineers in the employ of George Wingheld. the well known Nevada mining man: James II.

Get ehell. former mine operator in Color ado and Nevada. now in charge of the Cash mine.

 Many Locations Made.
 Every foot of promising ground is being given the once over. the up and down and the through and through by the adept prospectOrs who are fiocking to Yavapai county from all portions of the Southwest. Several hundred new locations have been made since the first of the current year. and on some Of them ore finds of promise have already been an- nounced Claims on which assess ment work for 1915 had not been done were closely watched and quick ly appropriated. The circumstance is mentioned because for some years past little attention was paid locally to whether the annual work was or was not performed on the mining claims of his section. The renewal of interest in mining, everywhere noticeable in Arizona. caused the claim owners of this county to be more particular than formerly about doing the necessary assessment work
