 Tombstone, Ariz., March ,, 1903. F. W. Howard, Esq,
 Prescott, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: 1 have just returned from a visit to the Warren Mining istrict in this county, and while there, I remembered your former re quest, some weeks ago, that 1 examine the property of the Bisbee- Arizona Gold and Copper Mining company and hearing considerable talk of thi: property, I took the pains to go on the ground and look over the same, carefully. Upon investigation found that the claims are located about seven miles in a northwesterly direc- tion from the city of Bisbee, and ad- join the property of the Modern Min ing company on the north. This fact find from the latest survey which is just completed The division line between the Bisbee- Arizona company and the Modern company is 270O feet in length, and in the survey the line has been established by mutual un- derstanding and is agreeable all round. The south line of the B. A. G. and c. M Go. property is about 800 to 300 feet north of the working shaft of the Modern company. The various claims of the B. A. G. and c. M. Co. cover the apex and consider able of the other part of what is known as Iron Mountain, or Iron Hul, and I am very favorsbly i'm pressed with this apex and all this ground. The surface formation on this hill are very similar to the sur face of the richest districts of the Warren District, with which I am familiar, with the advantage, if any in favor of the locality of the B. A. G. and c. M. Go. s ground. I find rich stringers and abundant float all over this ground that indicate to me the same is mineralized and it has every indication that the mineraliza- tion extends to large bodies of ores. With a judicious expenditure of money, without heavy expense, the fact can be determined whether large bodies of ore really underlie this ground as every thing on the surface j-agsBg faoa the ether parts of the district would indicate. l have a few fine specimens of ore, which were picked up by me at and about the prospecting works which I have not had assayed, yet look to be rich. From these specimens and the iron and lime which is in abundance on the ground and in the vicinity, 1 think by development, it will be found that copper will prevail at the valuable ore in all the deposits. Plenty of lime, iron and water will make the property easily worked and they indicate to me the ore is there, and the same can be mined to advan- tage. 1 will state further, that at the time of making this statement. that I have no interest in the Bisbee-Arizona Gold and Copper Mining company, but from my examination of the premises and my knowledge of the management I consider interests therein desirable l make this state ment because of my friendship for you, at your request.
 Yours very truly.
