 MINING IN yAVAPAI COUNTY
Ready for Drilling

Initial exploration movements on the McNulty-McBride properties, re- gently taken over under option by the Daly-Crawford-Lewissohn syndicate, are under way. A. L. Johns of Globe has taken charge of the work, estab- lished a camp and is ready to go ahead with churn drilling as soon as one of the three drills to be used ar rives. Three hundred acres of ground has been set aside for early explora- tion.
 Throughout Yavapai many mines with which the public is not so ia miliar as with the larger producers, are doing good and making many inn provements on their properties. Con tracts have been let for the construc- ton of six new buildings to accommo- date a force of 50 miners at the camp of the Beehive company, adjoining the Octave mine on the east. The Octave has made good during the last year, and both mines will be energetically operated during the coming year.
 Operations on the Dolphin mines, on Turkey creek, will be resumed in the near future, the owners having decid- cd on a plan of rapid development aft CT recent inspection of underground conditions on the property.
 ! A high grade copper sulphide, car rying gold values, has been encOun- tered in the old Bullwhacker mine. The property is now being developed to ergat depth, after having lain idle for many years. The determining of the copper condition is arousing much in terest, as during it's past history the Bullwhacker produced only gold.
 Start Long Tunnel.
 Active work Is un6er way on the project of the Arizona Deep Mining and Tunneling company in the Brad shaws. This company plans to run a tunnel approximately 17,000 feet to ] explore six Assures in the mineral belt north of Crown King, in which are in cluded the Lincoln, Nelson, Fairview, War Eagle, Gladiator, Crown King, Del Pasco and Wildflower groups. At certain points depth of more than 1900 feet will be given and the eX- ploration is declared to be the most extensive ever conducted in the south west. The tunnel has to date been driven more than 50 feet from the initial point selected by the engineers.
 The first discovery of scheelite in thi field was made several days ago in mines in the Hassayampa district, owned by Louis Bernard, Valentine AIlbarado and John Barnard. A three-inch streak of scheelite was hit on a 4O-foot crosscut from the main tunnel and, when analysed, was pro- nounced as of exceptionally high grade. The property is under develop ment for it's silver values.
 Machinery for the Venture Hill property at Jerome has been shipped from this city. Work on. the property is going ahead carefully under the di- rection of Honest John" Reilly. The report of the strike on the Pittsburgh Jerome property has encouraged work on the Venture Hill holdings, and g similar announcement from Reilly 1T the near future would surprise but few mining men of either Jerome ol Prescott.
 Energetic operations are also un der way on the Jerome-Victor EXten sion property, and, in fact, every mine or prospect in the entire county has the confidence of its owners or work , CTS and for the industrious part o- } the mining game, the month of July 5 has been a banner one in Yavapai.
