Hayti, bat not with Canada, though the lat

from San Pedro to the Pueblo

Hon. I. B. Catron has had q
force Of men constantly at work on
mines near San Pedro for year
and splendid piece OF develop
ment Is the result. The pay IN
sight is said to be very encouraging.
A mining venture, while the re-
suit party depends on luck, must
be managed on business principles
just the same as anything else.
One half OF the failures In mining
undertakings are due to misman-
agement rather than the failure to
find pay ore.
A mining camp Is visited by all
kinda of people. The prospector,
the miner, the machinlst, the iu-
ventor, the salesman, the specimen
collector, the investor, the business
man, the capitalist, the psddler, the
tenderfoot, the gambler and the
tin-horn dead-beat, whether In the
guise OF a capitalist or a horse thief.
The mining camp catches them all.
The new concentrator is on the
ground at San Pedro and la being
put up for test treatment of ores,
the success OF which may mean
much for the property and camp.
In case IL is proven that the great
bodies OF concentrating ores in the
copper mountain can be treated
anywhere near as cheaply a. has
been figured, 25c per ton, the intro.
duction of machinery to treat an
additional 500 tons per day would
complete one of the greatest mining
industries In tho southwest.
