CLIFTON DISTRICT.

The Arizona Copper company, linn ited, is one of the oldest propositions in the territory, at least in copper mining. It dates from the early sev- enties when the Lezinsky brothers had possession. In 1882 Scotch syndi- cate of Edinburgh secured the prop erty, paying something like one mill lion dollars for the same. Among the improvements made by the present company has been the Bessemer plant, the big power house with it's electric plant annex, the Arizona and New Mexico narrow gauge railway Of sev- enty-one miles in length with outlet at Lordsburg, N M., in all az gregating a combination representing about S6,000,000, to include of course the baby gauge and mining claims de veloped and to be opened. The De- troit Copper company at Morenci, which is controlled by Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, is next in importance to the Ari- zOna Copper company's propositions. Recently Improvements were made. ip- volving a large outlay of money. It is the purpose of the Detroit company to open railway connection with the Ari- zona & New Mexico at Duncan and run their bullion out over that line to the Southern Pacific. Charles M. Shannon has associated with Jesse R.. Grant of California and during the year they will erect a smelter with which to dispose of the copper bearing

AJO DISTRICT.

This is in the extreme western sec- tlon of Pima county and is really trib- utary to Yuma county, having an out let to the s. P railway in that portion cf Yuma traversed by that company. The Ajo copper mineA being develop ed and is looking, INAiood newj from the property is received oDasiol ally. Pima county is perhaps
 most unfortunate in regard to dire rail connection with the various d. tricts, hauls varying from twenty 1 100 miles, too great to justify very e. tenslve work which has been demon strated in all cases where railroadh come to the very doors of gold mine4. The Southern Pacific and New Mexf co and Arizona have been tapping the county for years and yet neither hax reached the districts above mentim- ed closer than the distances qunaed There are indications that spurs NH be run into certain districts and nl;p- ing companies with sufficient means may follow the example set by those who are now operating roads for their own benefit, other mining companies and the public in general taking ad- vantage of the rail route opsned to them by big concerns engaged in min ing. There are four companies in tho territory that furnish passenger ac- commodations in addition to their freighting facilities, two of marrow gauge and the same number of stan dard width.

ore extracted from MT. Shannon's fine properties on Chase creek. Dell M Potter is milling on his gold proper ties on the Frisco river, this work hav- ing but recently begun. Above Pot ter's is the Evans-Van Hecke camp, known in the district as Evans Point camp. Two mills each of ten stamps are working. These were put in dur ing the fall and winter. The Evans Van Hecke Gold Mining and Milling company has a model camp and is do- ing handsomely. The proposition will be in fine working shape in a few months, the roads being at the end of that time in better form for haul ing. Narrow gauge railways are con- templated by the company. In the Clifton district there are other pros poets that will come to the surface during the current year.

will begin the middle of April of this year.
 The Bonancita placers are the rich est ever discovered in Sonora AL though they have been worked for many years, they are still very rich. The gold is found from grass roots to bedrock In fact, what has heretofore been considered bedrock by the na- tives, is decomposed formation which contains greater values in gold than has been found above. Samples from same, show as high as $15 per cubic yard. The real value of the placers is just beginning to be known. All mining men who have ex- amined the Bonancita say that they will produce millions of dollars in gold. With dry washers prospectors make four and five dollars day. With the introduction of the Bonan cita company's large plant the output will be very great.
 Messrs. Hoadley, Turnbull & Go. have associated with them in several large mining deals the well known firm of Harlow & Gowan of Nogales. They are also interested in cattle, and both firms have been successful to a large degree in cattle deals as well as mines.

TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.

This district was recognized up to about the nineties as the biggest silver camp in Arizona. During their life the mines in the Tombstone district have produced $a5.OoO,OOO, the Tough nut mine being credited with $S,OOO,- OO0 With depreciation in silver and difficulties in the matter of water sup ply the mines closed down and Tomb stone, once the metropolis of Arizona. and town notable in it's day, began to decline, the population being re- ducde from 12,O00 to less than 1000 A pipe line of 35 miles conveys water from the Huachucas to Tombstone. The climate of this locality is superb and the town site one of the most at tractive in the territory.

BISBEE DISTRICT.

Phelps, Dodge & Go. of New York control large properties in this sec tion, notably the Copper Queen. The properties owned and controlled by the Copper Queen company have been largely developed, sufficiently to war rant the introduction by the company some years ago of the Arizona & Southeastern railway, broad gauge, from the district to Benson, a connect ing point with the Southern Pacific railway, distance of fifty-five miles,
 The company has considerable improved business property in the town of Bisbee, their chief holdings being two stores, Masonic temple and postoffice building. In the temple building, erected last fall, is the company offices. The population of the town created by reason of the extensive mining operations now num- bers 4,000 people. There is a num- Der of large structures besides those mentioned. A fine opera house build ing, library, the Anguis hotel, Norton house and school house are promi- nent structures. The Copper Queen company has copper bodies in Mexico

PEARCE DISTRICT

This is district in the Sulphur Springs valley that sprung suddenly into prominence within two years past, through the transfer of a group of four claims from the Pearces to the Commonwealth Mining and Milling company for the sum of $275,O0O. This company has the richest gold property in the territory. It is easily worked and has in its short career made its owners wealthy. Silver forms material part of the product Several companies have developed claims in the immediate vicinity of the big pro-

WASHINGTON DISTRICT.

This district is located in the eE treme southeastern corner of Pima county. The DuQuesne camp, which iB controlled by the big Westinghouse company of Pittsburg, is now in ex- cellent condition. This is a promis- ing camp and the DuquesneS is the leader. Copper is in considerable vol ume and during the past two yearp the company has been making a nun Der of tests that show well. The cree tiOn of reduction works was found to be necessary, the same being up and working satisfactorily. The Duquesne company employs 100 men and the af- fairs of the Westinghouse company, the controlling power, are managed byl J. B. Tebbets. Dr. F. L. Bartlett oi| Denver has had a lease on the Hol-' land mine, a concentrating proposf- tion. The prevailing features are siI- yer, lead and zinc. That which is strikingly strong in zinc has been sent to Denver for treatment. Tucson and Nogales are competitors for the trade of the Washington district with the advantages somewhat favorable to Nogales, at least, so say the Nogales
 business men. A wagon road is open from Crittenden on the New Mexico and Arizona road, distance about twenty miles. From Nogales a trail has been cut for twenty-two miles and this route is traveled to some extent. Telephone connection exists between Washington district akd NagaHeS h this corner of the cos1ify are a nh1(

Arizona republican., 1898-02-28

In this report of AriZona's mineral resources data has been obtained from thoroughly reliable and practical min ing experts who have personally wis ited all the principal mining districts os the territory and inspected nearly all of the leading producing mines and who are familiar with their methods of operation, cost of production, di- mensions of ore bodies and general ore values. In referring to many Of the smaller mines or prospects and the properties of recent discovery The Re- publican has taken the statements Of the owners or managers and endeavor- ed to keep safely within the bounds of fact That prospectors and many mining managers almost invariably inflate and largely augment the value of their discoveries is conceded. How ever, the outlook for many good mines is most promising, and undoubtedly this will prove to be- within a very few years, the leading gold and cop per field of the Pacific coast. The de sign is to make representations, brief though it may be, that will attract at tention to the merits of Arizona as mining field. The futility of attempt ing to make any written exposition take the place of personal investiga- tion is realized. It is hoped that many people into whose hands this number of the Arizona Republican may fall will be led by it to make an examina- tion of the field.
 This country is comparatively new. What it wants more than anything else to promote it's development is capital and energy. Magnificent nat ural advantages lie unimproved for lack of the necessary capital. There are also many opportunities for sober and industrious men who may not rank as. capitalists. Arizona presents a wide field for honest, intelligent endeavor, but no room for idlers or the shiftless, improvident and reckless. It is great country, but figs do not grow on thistles here, and profigacy and idleness will not reap the reward of virtue and industry. The people of the Pacific slope are neither despera- does nor weak dunderheads. They are active, intelligent, capable men and women, most of whom have come from the eastern states. Cultivated society is here as well as elsewhere, and the homes of the people show as pure a strain of the typical American civilization as can be found elsewhere between the two oceans.

ARAVAIPA DISTRICT.

Mountains of copper will be opened ter season and before snow falls again smelters will be reducing copper ore in the camps of the Grand Reef and Ta- ble mountain copper mining compa- nies. Machinery is being taken in by both companies and some is in posi- tion. Each company has done consid- erable mountain road work. The hauls are from the Wilcox station and as soon as the smelters are fairly at work it will not be at all surpris-

and an extension of the Arizona & Southeastern railway is now under way It is worthy of mention to state that the company was awarded several premiums at the worlds fair at Chi cago.
 The Copper King is comparatively a new venture, several hundred feet in depth being worked. There are several other developed properties down towards Sulphur valley where gold has been taken out. These have not been sufficiently advanced to jus tify the introduction of plants, though those operating are considering this matter.

THE SENATOR.

The twenty stamp mill of the Sena- tor Mining company, eighteen miles from Yuma, is crushing about fifty tons of ore per day. The mine has now reached depth of 200 feet. The upper, or 100 foot level, is between 800 and 600 feet long, while in the lower level a distance of fifty feet has been attained. A new drift being run in this part encountered, the other day, one of the largest and best bodies Of ore yet struck in this mine.

SAGINAW DISTRICT.

North of Tucson is the Saginaw Mining company's proposition, where is located a shelter which was blown in quite recently. This camp is look ed upon as one of the best in Pima county and is perhaps the most access sible to Tucson. Telephone connec- tion was recently made, which in it. self is conclusive evidence of the i'm portance of the camp. Ores from other than the Saginaw company's s workings are hauled to the Saginaw for treatment.
