ments that ever claimed the attention
OF the Arizona public and mining world
in general was the discovery OF the
famous QuijOtoa mines, Southwest
Pima county. during the middle sos.
The find was famous because OF the
richness OF the mines, and the excite
ment was augmented by the presence
OF John w. Mackay. who purchased
the property and began operations on
an extensive scale. 1t was silver and
gold proposition, and the ore yielded
from the grass roots an average OF l'oO
ounces silver per ton. Large forces OF
men were employed, modern machinery
was installed and the mines scientific
ally exploited; it was paying invest
ment so long as Mr.. Mackay continued
TO operate il. Shafts were sunk, cross
cutted and drifts run in every direc-
ton; but there came a day-a black
Friday, 50 to speak-when the demon
etization OF the white metal cast pail
over the industry; those who had
hitherto been prosperous became
shaky and deserted their holdings, the
mines were closed down. the mills were
stopped, and the slopes tunnels and
drifts were taken possession of by the
owls ard bats. But the old prOspector
who blazes the trails and defies the
viscisitudes of the desert, never dis
mayed by reverses, continued to prod
along fully embued with the belief
that there would leone a day some
time" aud among these hardy, self
reliant pioneers was Matt Walker. and
Alex. Mckay, the former OF whom ar
rived in Tucson yesterday from the
famous old Quijotoa district, where he
has labOred Increasingly since the dis
covery of that section As a mineral
field. Mr.. Walker is manager for the
Weldon Gold and Copper company,
where he has been for the past eleven
months directing the development OF
group OF ten claims, during which time
he has met with encouraging results.
With all these years OF incessant labor
there must necessarily be many thous-
and feet OF shaft, drift and tunnel, and
Manager Walker states that through
all these workings he has encountered
large bodies OF high-grade gold and
copper ore, and the outlook is now so
favorable that he feels warranted in
his force OF miners in the
near future. Thus far the work has
been confined to exploitation, blocking
out ore bodies and developing water, of
the latter which he has Il bOuntiful
supply. No ore has been hOisted from
the mine except where it was necessary
to ''clean up" as work progressed. Al
though the ore is of a high grade, no
shipments have been made, nor will
there be, the company preferring to do
its own milling when the time shall
have arrived to erect reduction works,
which are not far distant, as the ore
bodies already uncovered will justify
this advanced step. The Weldon group
is situated three miles from the famous
old Bonanza. all of the former machin-
cry of which is now the property of the
Weldon Gold and Copper Mining com
pany. Mr.. Walker will remain in the
city for several days, when he will re-
turn to his camp and prosecute devel-
opment more vigorously then ever.
