BRADSHAW MINES ARE ATTRACTING
 ATTENTION
SIMILARITY OF CROWN KING ORES TO THOSE OF TONOPAH IMPRESS
 ES NEVADA OPERATORS.
(By William P. De Wo1f)

more than ordinary importance have of late been made in the Crown King country. tributary to Prescott. The
 section is one Of the most thoroughly
 mineralized in Yavapai county and carries an ore which closely resem'
 bles in character and mineral con- tents the better grade Tonopah ores. The prospectors and miners who are
 migrating to this country from other sections of the Southwest are very favorably impressed with the Crown
 King field and are Ievoting consider able attention to mineral research therein. Among them are a number of former Nevadans-men from the Tonopah, Gold6eld and Manhattan districts. The similarity of the Crown
 King ores to those of the Tonopah district appeals very strongly to those
 trail blazers of the Southern Nevada desert, and carries to them the con viction that the Crown King field has all of the ore-yielding possibilities which have made Tonopah the great est silver-gold camp of the twentieth century.
 Mining operations are being prose cuted in the Crown King country with a degree of financial success which has not hitherto been equaled there since the day of dollar silver" and the double standard monetary system in the United States. What may be termed the mining renaissance of tha, section is attributable to the renewed interest of the general public in the profitable investment opportunities af- forded by the mining industry as a whole; the marked degree of attention Yavapai county and Arizona i1 gen eral is receiving from mine operators and investors, and the satisfactory re- suits which are attending more thorough prospecting of the Crown King field. Contributing causes arc adequate railroad facilities, modern processes for the reduction of so-call- cd refractory ores, and the increasing price and demand for lead, copper and zinc, which arc the by-products of the gold and silver ores of that section.
 Properties which were making min l ing history in the day of Geronimo and the pioneer in Arizona are again worked there under conditions that indicate an era of productivity far in excess of their records of past years. And those records are writ large on the pages of Arizona's mining history, as the following facts and figures go to show:
 The old Tiger group of claims has . production record of $5O0,OO0 worth oi silver orc. The Crown King mine. another famous producer, has paid in dividends upwards of $4OO,OOO. The old Peck mine has produced about S3,000,O00 worth of ore. From the Tiger Gold group shipments of SIPS per ton ore have been made. The Tuscumbia group has outputted about S500.000 worth of silver ore. The Savoy group has produced an ore carrying 250 ounces in silver to the ton, and a gold ore having an average value of S2S per ton. The Eclipse has outputted about $100OO0 worth of sil- yer bullion. with the ore assaying as high as 1000 ounces in silver to the ton. The War Eagle Gladiator group has a production record of more than S200O00 worth of gold bullion and concentrates. The Lincoln property, another old-time mine, has shipped S600,0O0 worth of ore. Other proper ties in the Crown King country have fattering production records, but the before mentioned vii serve to demon strate the value of the field as a whole. |
 The oil Notation process installed in the Crown King mill is thoroughly | demonstrating its aiaptability for ! treating the ores of that section, and | the same process is likewise success i fully treating the tailings dump of the 20-stamp mill on the old Tiger group of silver claims. M Grhelfall and partners, the lessees. are handling So to SS tailings at profit by the meth cd mentioned in conjunction with the old mill. Many years ago shipments of $l,0O0 ore were made from tlis to San Francisco and Den yer At that time the ore was freight ed to Ehrenberg on the Colorado riv, CT, where it was loaded on boats and transported to the nearest railway point and thence to its destination as above. Later on 10-stamp mill was erected at the property for the reduc ton of the lower grade ores, the con, centrates being shipped to outside points.
 Ultimately, the capacity of the mill \
