The day fo> fool holes for fabulous sums~ tin g to reap pecuniarY reward the medium of the mining exchaS the deluslve prospectus are only h hs.s and as such will be cherished by NAw and recalled with regret by many. u people as fond of wooing the 'fickl& goddess" as Americans the speculative and wildcat period came as matter of course, and every honest prospector, miner or capitalist halls with delight the return to reason which seems to have taken place ln the mining world. M ming when conducted in legitimate manner offers more and better inducements for capital than any other enterprise that can be named a,' tiss U s. ...yrsfi ,ssafiS4- ducing possibilities have as sssy been sdperfclally prospssa ssld developed we may look fusAcreased activity and interest Il, r1ns field now that business sepse and honesty seem to have gained the control.
 Few people realize what Spartan courage is displayed by the adventurous prospector. What danger he passes through from the attacks of hostile sayages, the many days he spends while miles from water and with only beans and bacon for sustenance.- To these heroic fellows devoid of any feeling of fear or physical danger, and willing to undergo any hardship the world is in- debted for its enormous mineral product After years of severe and patient toll he strikes lead" that offers an induce ment for capital to produce the wealth he has uiearthed. Ostracized from civilization for years, dwelling amid the rocks in the mountain gorges and can yons, his nature partakes in part of some of the wild scenes of his surroundings, caring nothing for society he is only hap py in his solitude and when urging his faithful burro en over the mountain tops, and yet withal he is generous to fault, and no traveller can leave a. prospector's camp hungry or ''broke" if it takes the last cent UT pot of beans to make him happy.
 This (Pinal county) has long been famous as mineral producer, made SO in part by the Silver King, mine that has been operated some six years, and has produced over g., 900, 900. The Key inert is an other property that has recent ly comes into public notice, for which it is understood the owners have refused an amount that requires seven figures to designate. In the southern part of the country, Tn what is known as the Casa Grande district, the outlook is very bright. The Vekol, a property owned and conducted wholly by private capi- tai, has been operate in small way for the past four years, and has produced over q million.
 In the same district con p my of Kansas City Capitalists are now devel- oping what is known as the Monarch group of mines. Contrary to the usual methods heretofore adopted, they are -usnlg. their money and have asked nc outside ad.|T |Tne developments so far demonstrate this to be one of the largest properties ever opened in Arizona. They have. a tunnel 15O feet, with cross cuts seventy-hve feet, all in ore, and are not through the ledge. This property bids fair to rival the famous Granite Noun tain The opening of this property has turned the attention of capitalists and Iriners to this really deserving district.
 Just east of the Monarch group lies the Silver World group, owned by residents of this county. Limited in means, their developments have been small, but suffi- cient to show and demonstrate that this will be one of the large properties of which this district Is destined to produce many. North from the Silver World lies the Atlantic and Pacific, owned Y prospectors, who are shipping their best ore and are paying for their developments and have suti icisnt left, once month, to paint the town red
 The Jack Rabbit, another property just north of the Atlantic and Pacific, has been operated by prospectors, and $20, ,O00 North of the Jack Rabbit ten miles, St. Louis company are operat- ing the Silver Reef mine They are uslng their own money and have devel- oped very valuable property. This dis trict offers magnificent inducements for the employment of capital in legiti- mate way, and he miners and residents are determined that no wildcat scheme shall be operated here to the detriment of legitimate enterprises.
