tended trip to the Hnachucas. Among other matters he has found out that re | clining in the plush surroundings of a , luxurient smoker with a two-bit fa- | vorite stuck in his face is one thing, | while clambering up the rough sides | of AriZona'S imposing mountains | through the snow. is quite another. On this specitic occasion in company with the Copper Queens head electrician l he headed for Miller canyon, some | times known as Maple Canyon, and | brought up at Grandma Frowd's" about sun down The next morning the two began the ascent of the rugged ] range. We were in our khaki clothes thinking that We were on little holi- day mission along the sunny foot hills, 1 but We soon struck snow, then more snow, then all kinds of snow, till our breath gave out and our dancing pumps gave out, but while we were half soleing our slippers with a gunny sack we got our breath back and pro ceeded. We trudged up that mountain for four excruciating mi es, gaining 5000 feet as We did so, and the only way we ever got through, we were splendidly paced by Mir. Palmerlee who wears a number ten shoe. When we arrived at the camp we found the alti- tude to be just S,750 feet above the ripling waves of the Pacific, several hundred yards nearer heaven than we had ever been before, and if we con tinue running with these mining men it is several degrees nearer than we will ever be again.
 The Hauchucas stand like a gigantic sentinel in the southwest corner of Cocnise county. The range is approxi- matey 45 miles in length by about 12 miles in width. In this area there are resources of which few of the peo- pie of the county. and no one out side of the county ever dreamed. The min ing features of this remarkable range are most prominent while timber and water and every other adjunct to that mighty industry are in evidence in a degree that cannot be duplicated in the territory. The water especially, has been developed in such purity and abundance that a reservoir has been in existence for years from which the City of Tombstone is supplied by a pipe line 28 miles long No typhoid in the water, no pneumonia in the air, no tuberculosis on toast nor Brights disease on the half shell, but the pure snow water, the exhiliarating air, and the fragrance of balsam like angels of health i'll ones very existence with delight at every step. No smoke nor dust nor dessicated offal assail your sensitive olfactories, but with the smiling earth beneath you, the clear blue dome above you, with the sunny valleys on one hand and the majestic hills on the other, clad fn their imacu- late mantle of beautiful snow" you feel that you are living in natures heart and might reach out and touch the hand of natures God.
 North peak and Middle peak in the Huachucas are each over ten thousand feet high, South peak is over 1000. It is next to Humphreys peak back of Flagstaff, the highest point in Arizona.
 Rising. as do the Huachueas out of the bosom of a desert, they appear far more imposing than any other mour- tains of corresponding altitude. Their outlines at every point and in almost every detail, are unusually precipitous, thus offering unequalled facilities for mine development operations. In almost every instance, especi- ally in the case of the Huachuca Con- solidated company's properties, in running tunnels and drifts, they can gain foot for foot in their work. Tn rare instances it will be necessary to put in hoist on any property in this remarkable range.
 The west side of the range is even more precipitous than the east, pre- senting one of the grandest views ever furnished in the annals of American scenery Magnificent canyons. filled with verdure and distinguished for dashing streams corrugate the sides of the range and coming down the east side we have Post canyon, where Fort Huachuca rests serenely in the lap of the mountain, then Rockhouse and Tanner, where the soldier gardens" bloom Then Tinker and Brown. and the only Ramsey. some times known as Box Canyon, then Cars, then Mil ler's canyon. more properly known as Maple. through which you wind your way to the Huachuca Consolidated. and the prettiest. freshest and greenest canyon in the range, then hunters can yon. then Ash, which contains some ele- gant properties hereinafter mentioned, and finally Montezuma, with which most of our people are becoming well acquainted since the late deal in'that locality by the Michigan people.
