GREENWOOD, MOHAVE AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES.

  This district is located partly in Mohave and partly in Yavapai Counties. The
Burro Creek and its branches running through it, afford considerable water for
mining purposes, and the mountain ridges afford an abundance of timber. There
are numerous mineral veins in this section, and as the country is much broken
up, they are found running in all directions. The district is almost
inaccessible, having but few roads or trails connecting it with centers of
transportation and travel, while the whole territory in and around it is almost
uninhabited. It occupies the center of a great mineral region, and no doubt
contains hidden treasures of gold and silver which the pick of the future miner
will bring to light.

  The Burro, Burro Extension North, and Burro Extension South, located on the
same ledge, have a vein of ore from ten to twenty feet in width. Considerable
work in running tunnels and sinking shafts has been done on these mines, and ore
assaying from one hundred to five hundred dollars per ton, extracted; other
ledges in the same vicinity have yielded ore of a high grade.
