United Movement on the Part of Owners and Prospectors This Year Promises to Aid Great Development.

PRESCOTT. Ariz., Jan. PA 76- hour rainfall. aided and abetted by a mild and spring-like temperature. has removed late December's over-burden of snow from the landscape hereabouts as expeditiously as mischievous school boy erases caricature of teach CT from his slate with spit-moistened coatsleeves. Hence, the prospector, marooned for some weeks past in Pres colt. is assembling a grubstake and making ready to drift" into the min eralized areas of Yavapai County.
 Gold. always in demand up to $20 per ounce. according to fineness; Sil- vel. 57 cents per ounce; Copper. 24 cents per pound; Tungsten. s45 to s55 per unit; Lead. S5.9O per hundred pounds; Zinc (spelter), s16 per hun dred pounds; Quicksilver. $S5.50 per flash. These are the lodestones that draw the prospector into the hills of Yavapai County in search of mineral wealth. These are the incentives that
 
 county to increased mining activity. For Yavapai County. be it known. is rich in gold. silver. copper. tungsten. lead. zinc. quicksilver. molybdenite distribution are large and there is. as yet. much valuable ground open to To- cation.
 Prospeetors on the Move
 As stated before. the prospectors are on the move. They are "mushing" in from the various mining districts of the Southwest and with the arrival of spring their number will doubtless be considebsrly augmented. There. is in fact ample reason to warrant the statement that with a few months the mineral sections of this county will be prospected as never before That the results will be in keeping with the efforts of the prospectors is evinced by the records of past years.
 The movements of miners and pros pectors alike are animated by Yavapai county's diversified minerali products; by the prevalence of railroad facilities throughout the mineralized areas: by the number and extent of the mineral bearing sections; by the richness of the ore zones. and by the readiness with which the ores lend themselves to treatment by low-cost processes rfi iet1 Ia rIx fC fhn oil process.
 Foundation of Prosperity.
 Upon these foundations Yavapai county is building its mining proseri- ty and passing it's claim for recognition by mine operators and investors. Mon ey for mine development purposes has been available in increasing amounts for some time past but not on a scale commensurate with the value of the county's mineral resources. It is now proposed. by concerted effort on the mart of the mine operators already in the field. to more thoroughly interest outside capital through medium of more comprehensive campaign of de veloDment than formerly. In other words. they are going to produce the goods" as the saying goes. and there by prove to the mining public in gen eraI the profitable investment oppor- tunities attaching the county's min eralized areas
 They contend that such action. cou- pied with wealth of mineral assets. will place Ysvapai county to the fore in a state remarkably rich in mineral resources. whatever it may lack in the way of moisture and possess in the way Of aridity. And at that the name Arizona" save as it applies to the aridity of enforced total abstinence. is more or less misnomer for this newest of states. for. taken by and large. Arizona averages up very well with it's sister states in agricultural and kindred pursuits. Yavapai and adjacent counties afford the best graz.
