WEAVER, YAVAPAI COUNTY.

  This district is situated in the southwestern portion of the county, and is
bounded on the east by the Tiger and Humbug districts. It is sometimes called
Weaver No. 2, to distinguish it from another district of the same name in Yuma
County. Both were named after one of the pioneer prospectors of the Territory.
The Hassayampa Creek and other streams afford a good supply of water for milling
purposes, and the mountain ridges afford a fair supply of timber. The mines in
thig section are almost exclusively gold-bearing, there being many quartz ledges
which prospect well, and also placer diggings which are being worked to a
considerable extent, yielding from $1.50 to $3.00 per day. In Peeples Valley the
Model Co. and the Bed Rock Co. have erected mills, both of which are steadily at
work crushing good ore. The Emma mine has been developed by a tunnel 100 feet in
length, and an incline 108 feet. The vein is argentiferous galena, carrying some
copper, and is from three to four feet in width. It is said to assay from $20 to
$500 per ton. The Lewis and other companies are also taking out good ore.
