Deposits of Hubernite and Woifrar1,ite, Carrying Large Percentage of Rich Metal, Scattered in Yavapai.
EUREKA, TIP TOP AND
 TULE DISTRICTS RICH
Discovery of the Metal May Mean Much for the Present and the Future of this Part of State of Arizona.
By William p. De Wolf.


 posits of hubnerite and wolframite carrying a high percentage of lungs ten are being developed along tIe pegmatite belts of the Eupreka. Tip Top and Tule Creek districts. The discovery of these valuable ore bodies is of comparatively recent origin and is the result of the systematic pros pecting for tungsten bearing deposits that is being carried on in all sections of Yavapai county. Shipments of high grade tungsten ore have been made to Pittsburg and to Denver, where they met with a ready sale at from s40.0O to S65.00 per unit. By reason Of their high commercial value these shipments attracted marked attention in mining and industrial circles. Par ticularly. as tungsten ore is being mined in this portion of Arizona un- der conditions which indicate a source of supply equal to that of the Boulder district of Colorado.
 Results Exceed Expectations.
 The energizing of the tungsten min ing industry of Yavapai county brought about by the conditions be- fore mentioned has produced results in excess of the most sanguine eXpec- tations of the operators. This, in turn, has melted the prospectors to search more diligently for the min eral. and has drawn them to the local field from all portions of the South west. Their numbers are increasing as the days pass and the short winter, characteristic of this section of Ari- zona. draws to close. The spring and summer months will doubtless re- cord large additions to their ranks and chronicle tungsten finds in out lying areas of Yavapai county as yet inaccessible because of the over-bur- den of snow.
 Wood Blazed the Trail.
 Homer Wood of Prescott is the man to whose foresight is due the present satisfactory status of Yava- pai's tungsten mining industry. About eighteen months ago he became con- vinced that the pegmatite. (bull gran ite) areas of this county offered pro- fit-making possibilities in the way of tungsten ores. Since then he has de- voted his time, energy and money to their development, and has achieved degree of success which has strength ened the conviction in their worth and has encouraged others to engage in the work. MT. Wood has furnished seventy or more prospectors with the necessary acids, etc, for making tungsten tests in the field. The re- suits have thus far been satisfactory. Sufficiently so, at least. to warrant a thorough testing of the pegmatite areas.
 Shipment Nets S5,3o2.03. William Connors made the first dis covery of tungsten ore in Yavapai county in April 1914. the scene of his strike being the Eureka district. The Connors property is one of number in which MT. Wood is financially in- terested. Development consists of a number of shallow workings extend ing length of 15O0 feet along one of a number of lodges that traverse the group of 13 claims. Hubnerite and wolframite prevail in all of the workings, and on all of the claims, including a large placer acreage. The latter is to be extensively worked as soon as weather conditions will per nit In the meantime. Connors is developing the hubnerite and wolfram ite lode deposits and is sacking ore carrying 7113 per cent tungsten. A shipment. forwarded recently to r. l.. Carlisle of Pittsburg, Pa. was sold by him to the steel manufacturing plants there for s5,432.17. The ore netted | S5.302OS.
 There is open ground.
 The pegmatite area of the Eureka district is extensive. and. so far as prospected, is known to he tungsten
