Arizona Papers on San Francisco MiHigg
 ODerators.

are Waglng what seems an unuCces-
 sary, impolitic and unjust war on Cali
 fornia mining men and those of San
 Francisco in particular That they are not as a lot enthusiastic over Ari- zona is true, and that they sometimes make unjust remarks and reports on
 our mines, is true; but in these re spects, they have their counterparts in
 operators from other states and cities.
 San Francisco naturally enough pre- fers to confne the enterprise of its people to its own State and Nevada. Neyada's rich men and nearly all her
 mining operators either have fine
 homes or live much of their time in the city or its suburban towns. Nev- ada politics is largely dictated in San
 Francisco where her politicians most l ly reside when they have the means
 The States are connected by two fast 1 passenger trains per day. The Nevada railways are owned by San Francisco people All and more than we have
 said is true and naturally the heavier ! influences favor the development and l business of the two States and their
 chief city. But after all, is the ad- verse criticism of our papers justi- fable or wholly true: We think it is neither; take look over the field and make something of a comparison of
 help and kind words we get from the Pacific with those from the Atlantic
 side of the country.
 Several of the daily and some of l the weekly papers of San Francisco, |arc publishing valuable letters from Arizona and editorials also, more or ! less of which are being reprinted in ! Arizona papers, and they generally give very favorable reports about our mines and their future promise. ! The Tombstone Mill and Mining l Companys success is due to eastern Icapital and to the push, experience ! and management of men schooled in ] California, Nevada and Arizona. 1 The Western Mining Company
 which bought and has so largely developed the Contention, is wholly made up of San Francisco money and
 men.
 ! The splendid operations now going on in He-shaw District under the i'm mediate superintendence of D. B. Gil
 lette, Jr., are promoted and paid for by San Francisco mining men.
 ] The great Silver King is an Arizona
 development aIded by San Francisco. It is true in the first instance, San
 Francisco mining experts reported .aeains, this property, but Chat did Ari zona no harm for the mine was rich and large and is productive.
 The McNiuen is a success and much San Francisco money has been put into it and Globe District mines and
 mills.
 The Peck with all its quartz and .lecal mills, is a success, and while San Francisco people have come into the
 organization and aided it, they do moi seem to be the cause of its troubles. I The Tiger development and is fine hoisting works and mill, are the result
 of a friendly union of Arizona men
 and money with San Francisco men
 and their cash. The management is
 mostly dictated from san Francisco
 and not word has yet been said
 against it, and it is believed 10 be a ! great success.
 The Tip Top mine and mill at Gil -.lette were bought and put in operation
 by San Francisco men with about .| Sl5O.000 of their gold coin, and bul .Iliou is being shipped from there al most every week.
 The Golden Star mill is a good lone and was built by San Francisco money.
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars o . san Francisco money have been put into Mohave county mines and mills and the loses are generally believed tC {: be due to mismanagement on the par !. of California and Arizona mauipula = tors combined.
 {. Ii is easy to refer to number O l bad failures wherein eastern money
 land management controlled, and t1
 some failures wherein eastern, Cali F. fornia and Arizona men operated to 9 rether. The Great Vulture badly fail - ed under eastern manipulation; e nro.Dered under that of P ". Smitl s who is a Pacific coast man and a lon. -i lime citizen of Arizona. But to refc
 .to the dead and dying, especially wheI D good words cannot be truihiully used D i. held to be odious and sometime $ unnardonabic, therefore We ask tha n our readers look round, in this part n cular for themselves. Nearly ever.
 county in the Territory, has been ih
 scene of mining operations by easteri men and their failures. To say tn tlea~t. what the California and Sal 2 Francisco press and people say and d -.for Arizona, will compare favorabl
 with what the eastern press and me
 say and do. Arizona needs the aid O ' both and she is getting It and a goo Q deal ot it.
