Worthington. mining engi- neer, took over the property a short time ago and began a systematic cleaning Up of the old works. His first shipment of five tons of ore averaged from 2OO0 to 5000 ounces of silver He has a Is tor Notation mill com pleted and ready to run on several thousand tons of old stope and dump ore that will make mill head of SIS 10 $50 a ton. This first mill unit will pay for all the future mine develop ment and lay away good dividend reserve besides. The main body of ore is from four to eight feet wide
 These old silver properties are ex- tremely attractive just at the present time for two reasons, the high price of the metal and the new oil flota- ton process for the sulphide ores and the improved methods of cyanidation of the eXodized ores. Of particular value is the flotation process for most of the old mines have worked out the surface or oxidized ores, the old workings being down to the water level where the sulphide ore begins.
 South of and adjoining the Silver Belt mine is the Anderson-Birch sil- yer mine, which has been developed entirely from the ore taken out of workings not lower than 200 feet Three carloads from this mine in De cember last netted the owners better than $21,OOO. A small Notation mill treats the lower grade ore as taken from the mine. This is one of the big silver mines of the county.

COPPER-S|LVER BELT DUE FOR
 DEVELOPMENT
BY F. w. BOWER

Few people comprehend the mag nitude of the mineral resources of Yavapai county. So extensive are the mineralized areas that it is practically impossible for anyone to keep track of the development work that is in progress.
 The great copper belt, beginning at Jerome on the north and extending for 1G0 miles southward to New river, is rapidly forging to the front on ac- count of the numerous companies that are spending money freely in devel- opment work. The two big copper mines at Jerome at the present time lead all other copper properties in the county, but there is a strong possi- bility that there will be other coppers just as large and as rich along this great belt, even to the Kay, which already is hitting a big stride toward one of the real big copper mines of the state.
 Silver Situation
 The silver situation is certain to at tract big capital to the several camps during the next few months, for there are many old time silver properties that were worked years ago and have since been forgotten that can be res urrected with but little capital and made to pay again. Of these old tim CTS, there could be mentioned 30 or 10 odd producers that are scattered from Groom creek, south of this city, to the Tiptop mine, which is in the neighborhood of 70 miles south of Prescott. All along this great min cralized belt are to be found scores of very promising silver-gold properties that have been partly developed or held in many cases by location work only.
 Two mines may be selected out of the many, as examples of what new capital, coupled with good manage ment, and the newer methods of mill treatment, can accomplish. They are the Silver Belt, two miles west of Humboldt, and the Monte Cristo, on Groom creek eight miles south of Prescott. Both are old silver-gold- lead properties and are in camps 10 miles apart, on parallel vein systems.
 It is estimated that the Silver Belt mine has produced well over $5000G0 from old workings by former owners. This mine is now owned and is be- ing developed by a company which has sunk an old shaft to a depth of 800 feet following the main ore body At that depth the vein matter is eight feet wide, with four and half feet of milling and shipping ore. The high grade will run from 200 to 400 ounces silver and 20 per cent lead and the milling grade is from $2O to $40 per ton ore. A conference of the princi- pal stockholders of the company is being held in San Francisco this week to pass upon the question of erecting a 50 ton Notation mill at the mine at once The consulting engi- reer is H. H. Burt, the president John J. Mahoney of San Francisco, and the general manager Ben Rybon of Pres cott
 A remarkably rich piece of native silver ore has been brought to the city from this mine, taken from a new strike on the 3OO-foot level. The ore will average about $8OOO a ton. A car load shipment of the high grade is being made this week and it is ex- pected to net the company from eight !
