The town of Harshaw. once the most ! prosperous mining camp in the county, and destined to experience a revival of is glory n that direction. is one of the most aitractively located settlements in Southern Arizona. It is nearly on he summit Of the Patagonia a mountains, un- der great shady trees. with Q peliucid stream of cool ana pure water running through 1t. 4 few years ago the Her mosa mill rattled it's stamps IL gleeful activity aud dozens Of stores and saloons
 iourIshed, where nov peaceful quiet ude prevails, and eut q few persevering and determined miners delve for the precious metals and grow rich on the treasures that reward their industry. The mines about Harshaw and Wash ingtCn Camp are not only very extensive and permanent. but many of them are uch n mineral wealth and of a sufi- ! clently high grade to ship abroad for treatment. Considerable work in con- ce9irailug tLe low grade ore by means e -.mpie 'iiggers" Is carried on, and in thIs way the output If the camps IS increased four-fold. As the shipments of ore by wsy of Crittenden station average from two to five carloads per day, some idea may be he'd ot the amount of ore taken out.
 Many uf the miners ve.e driven into the town curing the recent IndIhn scare. ! but they are generally returning 10 their properties and resumiug work.
 The owners of the famous Blue Nose mine have lot of dead work to do and they paid oiT al their men in full and are dong the work themselves. When a new body of paying ore IS en- couutered. they will again employ force of miners and pay them good wages.
 On the northwestern extension of the Trench mine. the lessees,h6ye been talk
 ing out lots of good ore above the water level. The veins Lave varied from two inches to q foot In width, giving a hesvy meta! containing sixty per ccct lead and about fifty ounces in silver They have shipped many carloads os this ore and IL pays very handsomely. The ore at the water level showed srch rebell- IOus CLarscteristics that they did not care tO go deeper. and cOateuted them selves with the ore ID the vcin above that point. Quite recently, however, the well, which had been sunk on the ledge, gradually failed. and It was con cludei to siuk 1t deeper to obtain a good water supply. In doing ihis, Mr. Col well put n a few shots, one of which turned mp over half tn of rich lead and silver ore, from R two foot vein, without a trace of rebeiiioUs matter m it. Fms fortunate discovery revealed to the iessees a bonanza below the water ley,., a.l tEn- are n1w talk ,ng out vast quantities of this ore, without a pound ot waste. How extensive a body they have encountered, IS not known, but 8 large body has evidently been tapped.
 Other miners are ul-o busy, taking out ore Tn paying quantities, and nearly every one of them is making money.
 The commercial etlaIrs of Harshaw are Ho: very extensive, but they are Tn good snd capable hands. Messrs. F. ~ydow & Co. have store, and do fair J--a'ss il general merchandise. MT. W. T. LHke IS the ''Co.," and he also keeps the Palace Hotel, where every body stops. Judge A Baldwin. the val ued correspondent ot the CITIZEN, holds a responsible position with this firm. All the members are more or less inter ested ID mines ur mining, either in work ing mines, grub stalking mIners. pur- chasing or shipping or.=. Mr F. Sy- dow IS postmaster bt La NoTia where he also has a store.
 Mr Richard Farrell also deals Tn general merchsndise and produce and does a good business. Wet grocer ies are also dispensed at his place and hIs vide acquaintance with the miners brings him quite a large run If custom. He recently had branch stcTe at the Blue Nose, and Is full of energy and enterprise.
 Col. II. q. Jones dispenses l.auid re- treatments to the thirsty and can regale select coterie with an interesting story. He has got n heart m him Rs big Bs they're made. and is therefore general favorIte. He Is full of public spirit aud enterprise Bad merits abund- | ant prosperity.
 Uncle George Norton is tine Gssayer of the camp. and every miner will bank on his certificate ot what s piece of rcck l contains.
 There are many others about liar. shaw who deserve sTec!al mention but B lack ot space foTb.ds l: ID this sr- ticl-.
 The veople of Hqrshsw held q public 1 meeting according to the suggestion of the Arizona Pi9ueers. and adopted res l olutious respecting the removal of the l Apache Indians. Judge 4. Baldwin 1 was chairman and Mr. Lyons secretary l of the meeting.
 Harshaw people realize that there is | a good time coming for them. aLd that l it is not very far off. When II reaches them. and the little town ssells with l importauce ard enterprise. no finer ] summer resort for Southern Arizona | cgu can be found anywhere.
