is growing in Importance a. work pro-
crosses. 1t has created tremendous
excitement, and the district is overrun
with proSpectors and mining men.
Some of the ore-picked specimens,
of course-is said to run as high "a
$500 3 per ton. Ii is not reasonable to
suppose that much of this class of ore
exists, but it is quite likely that the
strike will be the means of the discov.
cry OF several good mines in the dis
trict. Many of the richest gold aud
silver mines in the world have been
found in Arizona, and doubtless many
others will be found here. Arizona is
natures curiosity shop, and it is yet
full of surprises for the energetic and
intelligent prospector Copper Era.
