 Do you know anything concern
 ing the mines MT. Hessing has ob
 tained What do you think of them
 and his project"
 ''I am well acquainted with Mir
 Hessing's property It is generally conceded to be d fine one I think he
 has big thing, at least present indi- cations promise as much. One good point in its favor is that the original owners are first class miners and prosDectors, and have signitied their preference to receive stock in the company for their mines Another is that he has already SD identified himself with the interests of the Territory and Globe District, that l am confident that, viewing him ] in the light of a representative man, they will do all they can to insure the success of his project, and, rather than see him suffer from failure through sny untoward circumstan- ces, they will do all in their power to prevent it. There are some promin- ent mining men now here who know all about his property, and I know, of not one but what has cordially in dorsed the property and consider his project one of merit and excellence, deserving of public confidence This is tlattering, coming from disinter- ested parties. Mr. HesSing exhibited wonderful push, enterprise, and en- durance, during his visit, to an ex- tent remarked upon by all."
 "Is Globe the only mining district of importance in the Territory? What portion do yon consider has the best mines ?"
 "Globe is by no means the only one. It is considered. though, to have the best location and facilities, the best developed, and possessed of q greater number of mines, with higher grade ores. There are other district showing larger bodies of ore, but of q comparatively lower grade Pinal county, in which Globe is situ- ated, is by fur the richest in the terri tory. Last year it shipped some $1.200,000 of bullion by Wells, Fargo < Co.'S express. Beside this, large quantities have been shipped by private hands, an in addition hun dreds of tons of concentrations have been shipped to San Francisc The whole territory of Montana in the same time only shipped $3,000,000 in | bullion. Globe district itself is some ! ten miles wide by twenty-three in length, and has nearly 3,000 leca- tions. Such mines as the Silver King having market value of S3,000,000; | the Stonewall Jackson, $7J0'000; the Mexican, $500000; the McMorris, $25O, ,000; the Cox dc Coplin, $60,000; and the Isabella and Julius proper ties are to be found in this district. [ As to what portion 1 consider the best, would bc rather difficult to an swer. You must know that Arizona is an empire in extent. Its mining resources are incalculable. It is crossed and recrossed by mountains largely mineral in their character. But comparative few districts have been opened up. Mines and districts nave to q great extent certain individ lalities of their own. In the north md west arc the famous Bradshaw, Signal and Castle Dome, Silver and ether districts which have obtained lote from such mines as the McCrack- n, Vulture, Peck, Tiptop, Ajo and others of equal note, which are stars )f the first magnitude, around which ;luster numerous smaller satellites. 60 it is with these mines above men, toned in Globe; the Chief and Saca- one mines in the same county, and he immense properties in the Tomb !
  tone, Santa Ritas and other districts urther south. The districts recently , discovered in the Santa Catalina f are worthy of special note. The mines are gold and silver.
