MONTEZUMA CANYON
And Group That Lies Close to the
 S,uth Bisbee No. 3.

Since the big Mitchell pool saw fit to invest in Montezuma canyon. interest in that district has naturally been stimulated by that fact, says the Bis bee Review. A score of old time miners and prospectors have long been inter ested in that locality. and now they realize that their deliverance is at hand. Amosg others who have pinned their faith to the outcome of that particular section is Martin McNulty. who owns a neat group of six claims about two miles this side of Gus Baron's old Texas. Martins property lies at the foot of the hill, and had been held for about four years and title work looked after carefully in the hope that the dis trict would soon get proper recogni- ton, which has finally been the case. The property looms up well in copper, gold and silver, the predominating val ues running in the two metals last mentioned. In one of these claims, the Morning Star, Richard Johnson has an interest, but got discouraged and left the flats just before the dawn of day in MonteZuma canyon. McNulty also has six claims about a mile below Don Luis, which he thinks is squareiv across the Calumet and Copper Queen copper belt He expects to be a copper baron In the near future, with bullion enough to buy his way into the United States senate. and being situated as are his claims in this district. he is apt to realize handsomely at any moment.

Quite a number of well known citi. zens were taken in few days since to the extent of a few dollars each by an individual who represented that he hai discovered some valuable oil lands il the Huachucas and wanted them to pu- up dollar or so to pay for the record ing and he would enter their names or the location notices, for he had to pu some one in, as he could not take u' all the land in his own name.

SAN FRANCISCO DISTRICT
Seventy-Six Properties There Changed
 Hands Last Year.

There is something doing in all parts of Arizona all the time. and a great deal more doing than most people inn agine. The northwest portion of the territory gets less mention than any other part of it. as it is remote from large towns. The following correspond ence of the Los Angeles Review shows what has been done in one MOhave county district:
 Mining operations in the San Fran cisco mining district, in this county (Mohave) are such as to warrant very much greater attention than is being accorded that section. An exchange Of seventy-six properties was tallied Up for the year 1902, ranging in price from a few thousand dollars up to $500 900, and the work that has been done upon them justifies a belief that this district is destined to become one of the first in point of valuable gold mines in Ari- Zona. The reduction plants of both the Leland and Gold Road mines will soon be completed, and the Santa Fe rail road branch is expected to enter the camp within a few months. The ca pacity of the Gold Road and Leland plants will be about 800 tons daily Aside from this there should be noted the activity around the Snowball and German-American camps, as we'll as other less advanced prospects upon which less active but equally effective developments are now progressing.
 Several freight teams from Utah and New Mexico have been secured to sup ply the increasing demands of the dis trict.
