SILVER MOUNTAIN, YAVAPAI COUNTY.

  The following information in regard to this locality is taken from the columns
of the Arizona Miner:

  "Silver Mountain is situated about fifty-five miles south of Prescott and
twelve miles south of the Tiger. Running directly through the center of the
mountain from north to south is the Mammoth, one of the largest mineral-bearing
ledges yet discovered in Arizona. This monster vein crops out boldly for a
distance of more than three miles in length, and measures all the way from fifty
to three hundred feet in width, bearing both gold and silver throughout its
entire length and breadth. From the croppings, ore giving high assays has been
obtained.

  "Lying parallel with the Mammoth, on the east, is the Excelsior, a vein 50
feet in width, carrying good ore.

  "On the west is the Great Western, owned by Kelly & Hutchins, an immense ledge
of fine mineral-bearing rock.

  "Northeast of the Union claim lies the Mountain King, which is evidently an
offshoot from the Mammoth, and is at least two hundred feet wide. There are
several other large veins in Silver Mountain in the vicinity of the Mammoth,
notably the Snow Ball, Huff, and the Buell."
