From tho " Goodcnoughn Mr. MacGrotty visited
the " Eureka mine, situated Immediately south
of the "Goodenough, - where lie states that he
found the ledge thoroughly opened and exposed to
depth of nearly 200 feet " At the bottom OF the shaft
incline, ~ says he, I found the vein to be about
four feet In width, but enough has been
done upon the mine to show conclusively that not
only this mine but all the others upon the same ledge
very valuable properties. From the shaft sunk on
this mine several drifts have been in various drcc
tIons, stn further opening up the ledge, and from
which splendid paying ore has been taken averaging
from two to eight hundred dollars per ton.
From the Eureka MIR. MacGrotty passed to
the " Belchern mine, which is 10 the north of the
"GOodenough, ~ and which he describes as follows:
Here found a shaft abOut nifty feet deep with a
tunnel runnng In the side of the mountain intersecnG
the shaft The vein Ia opened up here showing 1t to
be at this point about four feet thick. Tho taken
from this mine Is very rich and, deemng It of Inn
portance to your company, brought win me specl-
mems of the ores from tho "Belcher' and - Eu q.
reka, In order that You may have them aSSayed and
test the value of the Oh both sides of the Good
enough, ~ or rather the nOlthcily ami sOntheily
ends of your claim
After giving itenzed hill of costs for machinery,
| buildings construction "f wagon-road to the mine,
miners wages per diem, with other incidental eY-
penses etc, Mr.. MaCGrotty says:
cordially agrco with them - Che eXpsrts) in
| all their statements aud conclusions relative 10
conclusion l desire to state that In my opinion
the company IN possession of "A most vaiuab 10
property IN the GoolcnOugh mine. In fact, no esti-
mate can he placed upon It.. The assays taken from
tbs Eureka on the south, the Garfield and Belcher
the nOrt the different assays taken Of the veins on
the GO0lenOuph claim itself, all go 10 show that II Is
undoubtedly u most valuable minc aud with an add
onal onll,y of from ten to fifteen thousand dollars,
with careful, economical aud honest management,
giving to each that which Is rghtuy their due the
company win undoubtedly realize large and handsome
piOhts from theif Investment.

The time Is not far distant when there win be egit-

tory, and which has not been equaled Ia the history
OF our Industrial progress The low rate OF Interest
which the vast accumulation of capital IN the East II
now bringing Is stimulating enterprise IN the deve
opment OF internal Improvements In the Southwest
and Arizona will bc the foremost In the value and
quantity Of her rich silver and copper mines, as wei
In her railroads, which penetrating the Terri
tory IN various directions, opening up the country Il
the grasp of the hardy pioneer, whose gains are bu
commensurate with his ambition for the rapid accu

West has been buunteousy endowed by nature, moi
only With ores of exceeding richness, hut extent
mineral held that of Arizona. Many of her mines,
| though not yet developed, equal to the famous

chihuahua, OLD Mexico, are opening up vast and rci
deposits the virgin silver The santa Eulalii
| District, above alluded to, produced sold pieces %
virgin silver weighing from 975 pounds to the ?, 20,
pounds. the Latter being the largest piece of pure sill
