CASTLE DOME, YUMA COUNTY,

  This is a very large district, in the western part of the county, bounded on
the south by the Gila River, on the west by the Colorado, and on the north by
Silver District. Many of the mines in this section have been worked almost
continuously since 1869, and a large amount of bullion in the aggregate has been
extracted. At the present time there is comparatively little activity
prevailing, on account, perhaps, of the rich discoveries in other portions of
the Territory, which have monopolized general attention.

  At Castle Dome Landing, on the Colorado River, is located the smelting works
of the Castle Dome M. & S. Co., who are engaged in the reduction of ore from
their mine some miles distant. In addition to this, large quantities of ore are
sent to San Francisco for reduction. The district contains both gold and silver
ledges, and in some localities considerable placer gold has been extracted.
