CAVE CREEK, MARICOPA COUNTY.

  This district is located in the northeastern portion of the county, near the
line of Yavapai. The mines were discovered in 1875 by H. C. McDonald and William
Hicks. The formation is granite and slate. Some of the ores are free milling,
while others contain base metal, and are rebellious. Wood and water are abundant.

  The Panther mine, owned by a New York company, is taking out good ore, and are
about to erect a forty-stamp mill. At the Galena Prince mine, owned by Philes
and Chaney, a good quality of argentiferous galena is being extracted.
Prospecting is going on in the Gold Hill, Maricopa, Phranix, and Rackensack. The
Golden Star Mining Company has a ten-stamp mill. In the southern part of the
district are the Union, Gila Monster, Scarlet, Red Dog, and Deseret, in all of
which good ore has been found. It is said that iron ore in large quantities has
recently been discovered in this section.
