WALKER,  YAVAPAI COUNTY.

  This district lies about 14 miles south of Prescott. It is five miles long and
two wide, and contains over 200 promising locations. The great want of this
district heretofore has been reduction works, which are now being supplied by
the Lynx Creek Smelting Co., who are putting up a first-class 15-ton smelter,
with all the necessary appliances. Wood and water, two great essentials for
successful mining, are abundant. The Accidental, one of the oldest locations in
the district, of which C. P. Dake is Superintendent, is developed by a shaft 300
feet deep. The ore is worked in arastras, and yields from $30 to $130 per ton in
gold and silver. C. Y. Shelton owns a group of mines which are highly spoken of,
among which are the American Flag, Grey Eagle, Capital, and Eureka. Considerable
work has been done on the Fortune and Champion, from both of which good ore has
been extracted. The Hidden Treasure, owned by the Yavapai Mill and Mining Co.,
and the Pine Mountain, are also considered promising mines.
