 is going on. every day without parti- cularly attracting the attention of tho general public. most of whom never heard of the Pittman Act, and are still labor;ng under the impression thta silver is as common and as plenti. ful as blue mud.
 Bringing Results Locally
 With Arizona's reputation as rich silver country, it is natural that Yavapai county will receive a large share of the benefit of the impetus recently given to the mining of that metal. There is now starting a move ment wiich promises to become a white metal boom. Capitalists are coming into Yavapai, and this means that the shallow shafts of the silver mines will be deepened; that new veins will be opened up; that what, three years ago, was dead industry, will again thrive
 In fact, this county already has sev- eral mines which are shipping silver ore; and in the Monte Cristo, in southwestern Yavapai, which has been developing for years and reserv- ing it ore, there is an object lesson proving the wisdom of deep working.
 What Will be Done
 The Dosoris property, comprising the Dosoris, Raven and Buzzard claims, has been taken over by NJ. C. Hanson of Deadwood, South Da- kota: Mir. F. Sien, of Denver, and Col. ]. B. Dudley, of San Francisco. A company now being formed will be amply financed, and the Dosoris group will be most thoroughly de- veloped. Heretofore the work has been done mainly by tunneling; the future policy will be to do deep min ing.
 The Blue Dick has been purchased for cash, it is stated, and combined with it will be the Mark Twain and other claims of this group.
 The Dosoris and Blue Dick are separate and distinct enterprises. The Blue Dick-Mark Twain group will be operated by Pittsburgh men ot means, some of them having their winter homes in Pasadena.
 The Ruby Silver Company has its home in Prescott; has as its directors some of the leading citizens of Pres colt. As many already know, the company has been driving a develop ment tunnel upon the Zero vein, be- ginning on the Ruby Silver North claim at point about 1900 feet north of the old workings of the Zero, and running towards those workings. Two hundred feet of the tunnel was driven before snowfall last ytar. It is the purpose of the management to pro ject the tunnel until it has passed three points where rich ore was found in the outcrop. The first of these points IS 2S0 feet from the tunnel DOT tai; the second IS about 480 feet, and it is drive of about 700 feet to the third point. Later a working shaft will be sunk at the most advantage ous point. Snow Instructions were removed last Wednesday, and sup plies are being hauled to the mine.
 Picture Ores"
 As above stated, all of the mines of this trio have produced much ore of the picture" variety. Horn sil- yer, black sulphide, brittle silver, ruby silver-almost every one of the com moner rich ores of silver, with wire silver interspersed for good measure put these veins in the Lvnanza class when ye old-timer talks silver.
 Will Build Road.
 As the same road-at present very bad one-leads to all threa a joint effort by the com panies will be made to repair it. 4 spur road will be built from Dosoris to the main Oersey Lily) road. The Ruby Silver is already traversed by the road, the Blue Dick is reached by it, and it is within the probabili- ties that the coming summer will find the automobile prospector chugging his way toward the scene of a rich strike in one or other of the proper ties named
