Recently THE OASIS man paid visit to the Lulley Camp, in the Santa Rita mountains, where the Santa Rita Mining Company are vigorously prosecuting development work upon their fine properties and to say that he was deeply i'm pressed with what is there to be seen would express the case very mildly.
 The party making the trip in cluded MT. Mark Lulley, the man. ager for the Santa Rita Co.,, THE OASIS man, the two small boys oi the editor, and MT. Ricardo Acedo. The small boys took along their 22 cali5re rifles to shoot bears. They had read with great interest the accounts published last year of the capture of two little bears in the same vicinity by Mark, and they indulged fond hopes of meet ing similar adventure. The trip was made in a two seated buck board, the route taken leading down the Santa Cruz by the Tucson road
  to a point about eight miles north from Calabasas where Mesquerer keeps a road house. There the party were served good supper and slept until nearly morning, when the route was resumed and the point of destination was reach ed at sunrise. The road followed wound eastward from the Santa Cruz river valley, the first five miles up gently ascending mesa, and then five more over noun tain region up and down steep hills, but still in the end completing a steep ascent. At the Lulley Camp, which is about thirty miles from Nogales by the road, but not more than twenty in a direct line, the two principal peaks of the Santa Rita mountains, Mount Baldy and Mount Washington-which from the valley below tower to lofty heights, have sunk to insignificant cones but few miles distant and not very much higher than the camp, and from the ridges 1900 to 1900 feet above the camp, which have to be surmounted to reach the workings of the mines, the two peaks seem quite insignificant, although they are the two highest points in southern Arizona. The road leads directly to the camp and to carry it up to the mines above would not be an expensive under taking.
 The Lulley Camp is very con- veniently located a short distance up canon opening out from a spur projecting from the main range of the Santa Ritas; and upon a big flat or mesa, just outside and west ward from the mouth of the canon there is a fine site for a reduction

Jesults ot the old Tumacacori mls
 sion, century and a half or nor
 ago. The caved shafts and scat
 tered dumps of their old abandoned
 works are yet visible upon the brow Of the hill above the camp, and from their site the casual visitor, facing westward, including in his view panoramic sweep covering a score of miles along the fertile valley of the Santa Cruz, is pointed out the ruins of the mission church and convent which through more than a century sheltered the dev. out and holy men who penetrated the wilds of tue Western World bearing aloft the Cross of Christ, at the some time carrying along goodly supply of picks and shovels that their converted neophytes might show their faith in works, to the glory of God and the enrich ment of the holy mother church.
 When came the great break up of the power of Spain in the New World, early in the Nineteenth Century, the protecting power of the Spanish arms was withdrawn from this remote regions, priest and soldier returned to Sunny Spain, and mines and missions here were abandoned. The great Apache uprising of 1925, or thereabout, probably assisted and accelerated that abandonment. For more than half century was all this fair region harried by Apache hatred. Every mountain cafion resounded with the dread war whoop, every mountain road is lined with graves where rest the remains of daring but unfortunate prospectors, who met their fate while in the quest of hidden treasure, and many a lowly mining camp was obliterated by the red devils, who left owner and workmen dead and scalped beside whim or furnace. Then there came the new rejuvenescence of the region when American grit and valor undertook to solve the pro- blem of subjecting the Apache and again opening to the uses of civil ization all the wealth nature had treasured in these rock ribbed mountains. Among those who came to Arizona in those early days was Mark Lulley, venturesome youth from the National Capital, who had cut his eye teeth in several years residence in the Golden State. He came to Tucson in search of fortune and engaged in business in "the old pueblo" But he found an irresistible charm in the life of a prospector; and he frequently cast aside business cares to roam the mountains in search of the glitter ing treasures there imprisoned, He also heard the romantic tradi- ton of the lost mine of the Jesuit priests of Tumacacori, and he de- termiued to find it. Carefully
