large amount of money has been spent
in opening up the property which now
shows millions OF dollars worth of ore
in sight. The ore is silver-lead most
ly. 1t is now only a question with
these rich men as to how they shall
proceed 10 work the ore They have
in contemplation the construction of a
railroad from Wilcox to the mines
through the sulphur Springs Valley
via Eureka Springs and down the Ara
valpa Canyon to the mines. Many
other rich silver and lead, as we'll as
gold mines. have been .ocated in this
district. the owners prospecting them
to depth of 80, 100 and 200 feet, show
ing their value TO be good Should
this railroad DE built as contemplated
the district would be one of the best in
all Arizona.
