TIGER DISTRICT, YAVAPAI COUNTY.

  This district, situated in the southern portion of the county, is bounded on
the north by Walnut Grove, and on the south by Humbug District. The first mining
operations were in the placer diggings, which were discovered about twenty years
since. Soon afterwards quartz ledges were also discovered and prospected to a
considerable extent. The Tiger mine, from which the district takes its name, was
discovered in 1871, and for a time vigorously worked, yielding ore of a high
grade, which was sent to San Francisco for reduction. In 1877 a
three-compartment shaft was sunk, and good hoisting works and a mill erected.
Since then it has produced a large amount of bullion. At present work on the
mine is suspended, but no doubt will soon be resumed, when the camp will again
present a lively appearance. In this district is located the Bradshaw Basin
Mill, which is at work crushing ore from the surrounding mines. Mr. C. C. Bean,
of Prescott, is the agent. In the neighborhood of the Tiger Mine are many other
promising ledges that will no doubt soon be developed. The climate of this
section is delightful, and wood and water abundant.
