PRESENT AND FUTURE.
Some Mining Properties, The Cattle Interests and the
 Farming Outlook.

There appears to be better feeling taking hold oi the people throughout this Iart Of the country. Our mining population are greatly encouraged by reason of the improved conditions gov erning the old mines in ditiereu, parts of the country, and also the. many new and valuable properties now undergo ing development, many of them show ing wonderful richness m silver and gold, and some (outside of Bisbee, where tine great Consolidated Copper Queen properties are siiuated, and have been operated with such glowing results for many years) carry heavy percentage in copper and lead; not ably the Copper Glance mine, located in the West Huachuca mountains, which is furnishing steady employ ment to about twenty-five men, in and about the mine and mill; then there are other properties in this range of mountains that. while they are not so prominent in production of metal as the Copper Glance, are good. and some of them really valuable, and only want development to become contributors to the nations wealth. Sil- yer, copper and lead predominates in this section.
 There are valuable gold mines in the Dcs Cabezas mountains, and while there is no great stir going on in this particular locality, still there are quite a number Of men working and more or less Of the precions metal is being produced all the time. The Casey Mine in this district was recently bonded, for S90.000.
 The section oi country surrounding FcIt Bowie has long been known tC contain both gold and silyer, but | as this is government reservation and covers the greater portion of the range known to hold the hidden treas ure. and hence was not open 70 loca- ton and development, but littlr ha, been heard of il as a mining county | however, the old fort has been abaL | doned by the government as a military | garrison, and the reservation will, II all probabilly, ere long be throwI open to settlement, when we ma, confidently look for mining boom il this quarter second to none yet dis covered in the county.
 The cattle interests of this southern country are getting onto firme foundation than they have been 10 years (and this will apply alike to tn
 whole county, north and south) bette prices prevail now than for many year past, and the supply of beef cattl has been drawn upon 10 that exten that the producer IS enabled 70 SC into the future sufficiently lar |
 know that the demand for some year
 to come will be greater than the suI
 ply, and that sure and profitable rt
 turns will be realized.
 The farming industry Of the count
 is assuredly in q far better conditio
 now than 1t has been since Cochis
 has been county. The finding [ artesian water in such abundance an . in so many different localities, n.ak,
 the raising Of farm products a sure au
 profitable vocation for the lutur' ; and where doubt and suspense ha' , held sway for 20 many years, tn 3 neyer-iailing result of American plut Q and enterprise, is about to be realize e and doubt has given way 10 certaint r That patient waiting which has cha g acterized this people is to be reward
 with independence. The golden bC
 oi promise is over us a nd both en l are firmly anchored in Cochise count =
