Development work that has taken place
in the mining districts adjacent to Long
Creek Ore, within the last II months

SANTA RITAS' AWAKENING.
Great Activity in Mining and Pros
pecting Near Nogales.

Activity in the mining camps in the
Santa Rita mountains has caused -e-
vival of reports that the proposed Santa
Cruz Valley railroad is to be built from
Tucson to or near Helvetia, Rosemont,
Azurite and other live camps in the
range. During the present year pros
pecting in this district has resulted in
the discovery of number of promis-
ing leads, and not in years has so much
extensive development work been in
progress. Tons upon tons of provisions
and machinery are required for the
various camps. Rosemont. once the
Golconda of the dreams of the late J.
l.. Rose, the Los Angeles millionaire
who took his own life when failure and
reverses became his shadows, is, in the
hands of it's new owners, giving up
some of the 100000 he spent in devel-
spement work. The smelter there is
reported to be producing copper at the
rate of 1,7O0 tons per month, and ex-
tensive improvements are in contempla-
long sleep; the Azurite has come vigor-
OuSly into the list OF prod ucers.
The Blue Jay and other prospects
are all giving splendid promise. 1t is
estimated more than 500 men are min

ing the gold and copper buried there.

His Mines in the Magdaiena District.
Show Large Bodies of Ore.
Anthony Bray's recent successes in
two large properties in Magdalena dis
trict, Sonora add additional fame to-
that exceedingly rich region. White at
the Montezuma few days this week,
Mr.. Bray talked ehtertainingly of his
big finds.
Ell Otate is located 20 miles east of
Llano station. The principal owner is
81. F. Bulwer, an Englishman at present
living in Chicago. The mine was
located on ancient workings which
history says was a great gold producer.
''An examination of the old workings,
said Mr.. Bray, showed that the vein
stands almost vertical, and is quite
wide. 1 didn't follow the old workings
but went down at a safe distance away
on hard ground, and have reached a.
depth of 200 feet, at this depth extern
sive crosscutting work is in progress,
we have struck the vein that now gives
values of from $40 to 5000 per ton, and
1 will continue crosscutting until it is
certain all the veins have been cut; then
I will raise to the old works. This
mine is a fine showing and will be a
large producer of free milling ore.
"'El Cajon de las Amarillas,' owned
by the Mexican Gold Mining company,
E. A. Stent, of San Francisco Presi-
dent, is another antigua It is
located 55 miles in a southwesterly
direction from Llano. The mine was
worked during the last century by the
Salazar family. A strong vein is trace
able through almost the entire length
of the property. On the south end the
ore worked down base, but on the
north end, old shafts to the depth of
80 and 80 feet cut ledge of from to
feet in width that carries from SO to
S15 free gold. A cyanide company re-
Gently worked the Salazar tailings and
cleaned up an average of $40 per ton.
II opened new shaft, which is now
down hundred feet, and 1 expect to
carry it to 800 feet before 1 commence
cross cutting. As in Ell Otate I want
to get below tho old workings. The
hoisting plant installed here is pro-
nounced by competent judges to be one
of the best in Sonora. Mr.. Stent, when
there three weeks ago was highly
pleased with the prospects. The hoist
ing plant on the El Otate is also fine
piece of machinery. Mills will be placed
on both properties as soon as we decide
upon the character of the machinery
necessary. 1 am highly pleased with
the prospects, and have only to add
that both mines are rich"
