Refractory Ores of the Crown King District, Yavapai Co.,, Now Treated with Profit to the Promoters.
GREAT SEASON LOOKED
 FORWARD TO BY ALL
Increase in Values of Lead, Zinc and Copper Ores, with bases of Gold and Silver, Promote the Activity.
By William p. De Wolf.

PRESCOTT, Ariona, Jan 29.-Min- ting operations in the Grown King , country, trivutary to Prescott, are be- ing prosecuted under advantageous mineral conditions and 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 Unit ed States. What may be termed the mining renaissance of that highly min eralied section of Yavapai county is attributable to the reawakened nter- est fthe general public in the pro- fitable investment opportunities afford ed by the mining industry as whole; the marked degree of attention that Yavapai county and Arizona in general is receiving from mine operators and investors, and the satisfactory results which attend more thorough pros pecting of the Crown King field. Con tributing causes are adequate railroad facilities, modern processes for the reduction of so-called refractory ores, and the increasing demand and price for lead copper and zinc, which are the by-products of the gold and silver ores of that section.
 Properties which were making min ing history in the day of Geronimo and the pioneer in Arizona are gain be- ing worked in the Grown King coun- try under conditions which indicate an era of productivity greatly in ex- cess of their records of past years. And those records are wrote large on the pages of Arizona's mining history, as the following facts and figures go to show:
 The old Tiger group of silver claims has a production record of $500, 900 worth of Silver ore. The Crown King mine, another famous producer, has paid in dividends upward of s4OO, 900. The old Peck mine, located in the neighbcrhood of the Crown King coun- try, has shipped about $3,000,00O worth of ore. From the Tiger Gold estate shipments of 0125 per ton ore have been made. The Savoy group has pro- duced an ore carrying 250 ounces in silver to the ton, and a gold ore hay ing an average value of 200 per ton. The Eclipse ha sproduced S100,000 worth of silver bullion, with the ore as- saying a shigh as 1000 in silver to the ton. The War Eagle-Gladiator group has a production record of more than S200.000 worth of gold bullion and con centrates. The Lincoln property, an other old-time producer. has outputted about S6OO,O00 worth of ore. Other have flattering production records, but the before mentioned will serve to demonstrate the value of the field as a whole.
 The Crown King area is highly min eralied and carries an ore that re- sembles closely in character and min eral contents the better grade Tono- pah ores. The prospectors and miners who are migrating to Yavapai county are very favorably impressed with the Grown King field and are devoting their energies to mineral research therein with considerable success. In their numbers are several former Col oradoans and Fundamentally Jim Sullivan, Cripple Creek and Tonopah pioneer.
 Sullivan entered the Grown King country in search of tungsten just be- ] fore the heavy snowfall of last De cember. Overtaken by the storm he sought shelter in a tunnel on the south slope of Tuscumbia mountain, where he was snowbound for several days. During his storm-enforced i'm prisonment he inspected the vein ex-
 posed in the breast of the tunnel, and becoming impressed with the sim i ilarity of those to the Tonopah dis | trict, he subject the deposit to an av- craze sampling.
 When the storm cease. Sullivan broke a trail to the railroad and came to Prescott, where his samples were assayed by R. H. Hetherington. The record of the test follows: Gold, so (Continued on Page Two)
