GREEN VALLEY,  YAVAPAI COUNTY.

  This district, sometimes called the Verde, is situated in the southeastern
part of the county, on the east fork of the Verde River, north of the Tonto
Basin. The Verde supplies water constantly, and there is a fine belt of timber
and plenty of grass. The ores are gold and silver.

  The Golden Wonder is working four arastras on ore which yields an average of
fifty dollars per ton. The shaft is now down one hundred feet, and drifts are
running on a three arid a half foot vein.

  The Excursion, located three miles from the Verde, has a shaft down sixty-five
feet; at that point the vein is four feet, and assays $300 per ton. There is now
150 tons of ore on the dump. Judge Porter is the principal owner.

  The Zulu, located on Wild Rye Creek, has a shaft of sixty-five feet, and a
four-foot ledge; the ore is worked by arastra. The The American and Gowan, on
the Verde, are now building a five-stamp mill. The Mammoth has a shaft down
fifty feet on a three-foot ledge, from which is being extracted ore that yields
forty-five dollars per ton. There are many other mines being opened in this
district.
