The Field for Profitable vest
 ment in Mining Ventures.

mines m the territory, mines that give better returns fof the money invested is but stating fact that has long been known and is of more than local reputation.
 The Tombstone ming district is the oldest in the county and contains many mines that have been heavy dividend paying properties, many are only idle now because of the demone- tization oi silver, and just as soon the white metal is restored to its natural place as money on our statute books, standing upon a perfect equality with golG. new life will be infused into the veins or this arm of the mineral body, and these rock-ribbed mountains will again pulsate with busy humanity, delving into the bowels of Mother Earth for the hidden treasure that is known to be there.
 Located in the Huachuca moun- tains are mines which are turning out rich ores in large quantities daily, and are giving of their abundance to to increase the nations treasure.
 The Copper Glance mine is sit- uated on the western slope of these mountains and is a wonderful prop erty. 4 few years ago this was only prospect, and nothing was known of il except that Samuel Donnelly and his co-laborers were working upon a claim there that looked farely well, but held out no great inducement for the future, however persistent labor and intelligent endeavor has opened up mining property second to none Of its class in any country. The ore is rich, and found in large bodies, its ccmpo- nent parts a.e silver, copper and lead, is easy worked and gives employment to twenty-five or thirty men, many of whom have families, who form a com munity of contented sni happy people.
 There are many other properties of value in this section Of country, out few that are being worked.
 The Pierce mining district is new plat on Cochise coanty's map, and the Pierce mine recent discovery, is rich Tn silver and gold. IL is situated on the eastern slope of the Dtsgoon mountains about twenty-five miles from Tombstone in a north-essterly dire ction, and ii but half that IS told Of 1t be true in another twelve months it will be one pf the greatest dividend paying properties on the Pacific coast.
 This whole range of mountains con tain rich mineral-bearing lodges Of gold. silver and copper, with sprink- ling of lead through it all. The south ern portion is gold bearing, the cen- tral part gold and silver, the northern section is copper, silver. gold and lead, copper and silver predominating.
 Dos Cabezas has number of good paying properties; the ore is not Of high grade but the lodges are strong and the mineral of fine quality, and they only want capital to develop them to make this one of the richest gold producing camps on the western slope oi the Rocky mountains.
 All that section of country covered by the old Fort Bowie government reservation is known to be full Of this same quality Of gold rock as is found in the Dos Cabezas mines but the country has never been worked or even prospec,ed, for the reason that it was known to be a government reservation and hence was not open to lacation. However this locality will ere long be thrown open, when the hills will become alive with pros- pectors and another rich mining camp is sure to be the result.
 The Winchester mining district con- tains good silver mines, and the sur rounding country teams with silver ore. This is seen from many pros pects, and with development on some claims already discovered will un- doubtediy prove rich bonanzas.
 Then there is Bisbee, the greatest copper producing camp in the world, This locality was very fortunate in its very incepi.on as.a mining camp. The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining compsny in its formation was com posed of wealthy men. They begun operations eauti Iusly, just as all suc- cessful enterprises do, and have con- tinued to deveolp and grow under the wise direction of that prince of mining superinteDdents, Benjamin Williams, until it enjoys the enviable reputation of standing without a superior in the production of copper in the whole world their mig ghty engines are kept in endless molten day and night, and the melted metal pours out in an almost
