 new camp will soon be established eight miles west of Mayer in the Plne Flat district by Judge John A. Peacoch' of Fort Worth, Texas, who mas Just organized the Circle Peak Mining com many. taking over ten claims not lar from the old Cumberlain mine ana mill. There are about 2,OOO'Ooo ieet of choice Pine timber covering the property The ore carried good Naiues at the. surface of copper, gold anu silver. The company also has an op- tion on the Cumberlain property which, in early days was producer of high grade gold and silver ore. The wagon road between the properties and Mayer is to be put in shape.
 Development work is to be com menced within a few days on the Pat ton mine which has been taken over by the newly organized Rio Tonto Cop per Mines company of which r. J. Mcintyre and w. D. Mahoney, of Je- rome, are the principals. The com pany is being financed with outsloe | capital This is one Of the best de- veloped properties south of the Blns- hamton and Copper Queen mines. The | Schist Belt Copper company has just been organized by A. W. Davis, H. C. Storey. s. E. Wallace. Charles Hooker and others of prominence in Northern Arizona. The property lies north Of the Silver Belt mine, west of Hum- boldt, and is on the strike of the Jesse and Union veins. The ore carries high values in gold.
 Indications are that there will be general activity in the Cherry Creek l district this coming year. Several new | companies are being organized among the best mining men of this state. Capl- tai is being interested in California, Ohio, Chicago and other Eastern points, J. H. Tribby, who is one of the oldest of the mine owners in that district, has turned over four of his properties, the Evening Star. Climax, Three Metals and the Shipper, to a combination of men residing in Pasa- dena, California, the deal having been consummated through Dr. w. A. Craw- ford, of that city. The four properties are we'll developed, showing high grade gold and copper ore. Judge D. E. Parks, of Prescott and associates, own the Logan mine which is in the same camp.
 In the same district, the Jerome Mining company which is officered mostly by Prescott business men, has acquired the old Conger mine. The company is to be financed by Ohio people. The ore is gold and copper. One of the best developed proper ties in the Cherry district is owned by the Verde inspiration company. There are several parallel veins traversing the property which have been extensively
 developed. The Etta mine is an ex- ample of what can be done with the mines of the district, it having pro-
 duced over a half million dollars in gold by amalgamation. As depth is
 attained on the veins, the gold values
 have turned into goo dgrade chalcopy-
 rite. In the case of the Case of the Verde Inspiration mine. several deer
 shafts have been sunk on diffrent
 portions of the veins. The cotton
 stamp mill has handled successfully all the ore that has been mined. The plan is to increase the capacity of tho
 stamps and to install a complete con-
 centration and cyanide equipment There are about 10000 tons of oxid ized gold ore blocked out and there i:
 much more ground that has not beer developed that will carry this sam, , quality of gold ore. The ore that ha.
 been milled will average about s15
 ton in gold. Already in the deepes
 workings, this gold ore has begun tt
 turn into the characteristic chalco
 pyrite, which will cause the compan.
 to add the Notation process to the mil , methods.
