PRESCOTT. Arizona. Sept. 9.-An important factor in the speeding up of the mining industry that is every where apparent in Yavapai county. is the system of good roads that is be- ing established for the purpose of bringing the outlying mines and camps into touch with the county's main business center at Prescott and with each other. Much has already been accomplished along these lines: and as result this county can justly lay claim to some of the best graded and scenic roads in Arizonas Notably the Copper Basin road which has put this city into easy transit communi- cation with the copper areas of that section: the Groom Creek road which serves a like purpose for the camp of Senator; the Lynx Creek road con- meeting with the shelter at Humboldt and the mines of that locality. and the Cherry Creek road that gives access to Jerome. Clarkdale and the mines of the Verde valley country.
 More recently the distance from here to Phoenix has been appreciably shortened by reconstructing the cid government trail through Black can yon. This piece of road building has put the Tip Top and other mines of the Tip Top country in touch with Prescott and has added to tine pleas ure of travel by auto as we'll The Groom Creek road is being extended beyond Senator to tap the rich min eral-bearing Crown King country and other portions of the Bradshaws. and consideration is being given by the county commissioners to a plan for shortening the road between here and Jerome. The latter plan has the SUD- port of a majority of the mining and business men of Jerome and Clarks- dale.

Waldron. a former Colorado mining man. is in charge of the companys affairs. The Monte zuma had been undergoing develop ment for eight years before the pres ent outfit became identified with l.. and during that time large and vaiu- able silver-gold ore bodies were opened. These ore bodies. aside from their preciOus-metal contents, carry pay values in lead and zinc. Among the improvements the management has in view is a reduction plant so as to reclaim the lead and zinc as well as the silver and gold contents of the ores. This is tO be brought about by establishing the oil-notation process. David Gemmin. of the RandOlph-Gemmill Reduction works at Crown King. has evolved a treatment by Notation for the base ores of that section and is untilizing it with success at his plant.
 In fact the Gemmill improvement to the oil-hotation process has. more than any other single factor. been in- in the renewal of mining operations in Bradshaw mountains. with the result that work is more ami mated there at present than in many years. High grade ore has in the past been the rule rather than the excep- ton in the mines throughout the and now that a treatment adapted to the sulphide ores disclosed
