 PRESCOTT. Ariz.. June 10.-An of the mills and majority Of the mines in Yavapai county are working at capacity. The output of base metal and bullion-copper tungsten. lead. zine. gold and silver-is heavier than ever before. The output of ore is likewise greater than heretofore. and is steadily increasing as new ore bodies are opened and old mines for sometime dormant are added to the list of active properties. The liven-f ing mp of the county's mining industry is of recent origin Notwithstapding the fact. however. its energising is general and is accompanied by in- creasing prosperity in all lines of endeavOr. There has been no period when investors were so thoroughly in terested in and capital was SO gener- ally available for the development of the mines here as now: and there has been Lo time when results were so thoroughly in keeping with the outlay of money. time and energy as now.
 Local Capital Invested.
 Local capital is responding tO the development demands of the courty's mines quite as generously as is cap ital from outside points. The cOndi- ton is both commendable and note worthy. as it demonstrates the con 6dence the local people have in their mines and their willingness to back their confidence with their dollars Neither they. nor people from abroad are. however. investing their money in chimerical get-rich-Quick mining schemes such as have in past years cursed and cheapened the mining in dustry as a whole. In fact. there are no fly-by-nisht propositions Of that character in Arizona. The Arizona Corporation Commission is inimical to them and thes cannot gain a foot hold here. As result of the activi- ties of the Commission. the mining industry of this county and state is being fostered along clean and pro gressive lines, to the honor and ad- vantage of honest mining efforts.
 Have Local Backing.
 Among the mining propositions of this county which have of late re- ceiyed generous backing locally are the LOma Prieta Mines Company. the Boston & Jerome Copper Company. the Tip Top Consolidated Mining Company, the Tuscumbia Mining & Milling Company. the Schuber Copper Company. the Golden Dragon Mining X Milling Company. the Bradshaw Development Company. the Jerome Victor Extension Copper Company and the Venture Hill Mining Company. The last mentioned. although not of recent incorporation. is of late re- at the hands of Prescott md Jerome mining and business men. most of wlom have been holders of Ventura Hill shares for considerable period. These people have provided m initial development fund ot S1S.- 10000. and have pledged an additional 'I2.0OO.00 for the same purpose pay lble in four months. The company 'wns six patented claims in the highly United Verde cooper belt at Jerome. At meeting of the stock folders to be held in that camp today. will be made to resume mining operations.
 Is Popular Locality.
 The property of the Venture Hill Company was first worked about II ears ago. At that time. however. he price of copper was nominal: in crest in copper issues was apathetic nd the reduction charge was higher.
