There are two distinct mineral boar
ing zones IN Arizona. These zones run
nearly parall ! through the whole ter
ritory, extending into Utah and Neva-
Ga on the north and Mexico on the
south, each varying from 5 to 20 miles
( IN width and containing within these
limits all of the we'll known mines in
Arizona. The eastern zone follows the
line Of the Tuaiar mountains south In
Utah, passing west Of the San Fran
/ cisco mountains in Arizona. and includ-
Cd in this zone are the celebrated Unit
cd Verde copper mines. McCabe, Crown
King in the BHadshaws, and further
south the rich copper mines around
Globe and south via Tombstone and
Bisb into Mexico.
The western zone taxes IN the D. la
Mar gold mines In Nevada and further
south the Cnlcrde mines above King
man, the Contact group and the old
Crown Silver mines near blackberry
the Hillside and Cooper Creek on the
