AN ERAOF DEEP MINING.
What CapitaliS is Accomplishing Today ID the YaYspii Field of Mines
 and Mining.
MOfs Legitimate and Practical Work is on
 Today Than Ever Before.

An occasional mining sale in this section naturally attracts some com ment and is a cause of personal re- ioicing to those whom it affects, and in broad sense is a creditable re- hection upon him who has probably spent the greater portion of his life waiting for the turn of the tide. But in the sense of the general pro gress of the country, its develop ment and its consideration in legiti- mate operations, the former should not be weighed in the same balance with the latter. In early mining ID this section the methods pursued were tinged with a disregard of industrial elevation or personal con- sideration, and so long as both were permitted to ride unchecked, just so long would that section carry black eye. The usual result followed and with it's life of that era there faced this section Tn its appeals for capital something of a delicate response. With the legitimate, however, there has come a change in the scene and the old has been pushed aside for the new, the outcome of which IS to day sttested to in this vicinity in the number of men on the ground and the manner in which they are operating. It is such change over the played out past, and the country is now so firmly and legitimately be- ing handled ID practical and ener getic work that goes with deep min ing as to give us today a greater re- gard probably than any other sec ton of the southwest enjoys. The past i've years has seemingly solved the future of this section for years to come, and if only one-half of that to be seen today around us proves successful, Ysvapai will be the most energetic field of mining prosperity of any subdivision of the union. AL though the oldest section in mining in Arizopa it is nevertheless in . practical sense the newest, and no better argument can be placed before the late investor than the fact of being here today and as a rule the character of his work as he eIpends his capital so willingly cer- tainly gives to him the belief that the country simply has been run over.
 Ten years ago we venture the statement there were not half dog CD gold claims in this section that had a 250-foot shaft, and in silver mines not many more. Today in any district the opposite prevails, and when we look around and size up" the miles of underground cav erns of the United Verde, the 2000 foot hole of the Congress. the thou sands of feet of the Crowned King, the McCabe, the Jessie, the Empire, the Senator, the Poland-HsmiltOn, Del Pasco, the Jerome Copper Co, the Gladiator, the Favorite. the Pee ", the Henrietta, the Accident, the Buster, and especially the Planet Saturn that has struck 1t at 1000 feet richer than ever, and besides many others-the country answers m each and only asks to be showed up" The country is today going ahead and is pushing itself forward so steadily and practically that even if hurrah does not follow its pro gress the inducements are here for men and money to work with and we are pleased to state that as a general rule both are operating le- gitimately for once.
