WONDERFUL PROGRESS
 OF COChiSE COUNTY.

OF cochisE COUNTY.
 In no other district in Arizona has there been such activity in the min eral industry as in the mineral country embraced in the southern portion of Cochise county The splendid sue cess the Calumet & Arizona has in fluenced a large amount of capital to seek investment in the vicinity of Bis bee. Especially has the attention Of mining men from the state of Mich igan been attracted here. As a re- suit. We now have some half dozen companies. composed largely of Mich igan men, engaged in the development of mines or claims in this vicinity. They are all welcome, and they all have the best wishes of Bisbee. as one or two more successes like the one made by the Calumet & Arizona would be a guarantee that Bisbee would soon be & city of 25.0O0 population. Bisbee ditrict is just getting ready to begin mining in earnest and what has been accomplished in the past VIII be looked back 10 in the future as mere childs play. The fact of Bis bees permanency and prosperity was guaranteed when the Phelps1Odge people constructed the Fl Paso and Southwestern railway from this city to Fl Paso and planned the great re- duction works now being erected in Douglas. These people know what their properties will yield for many years to come; they are among the largest mine owners in the United States and have men in thir employ who know where the ore bodies are and their extent; nothing but absolute knowledge on these important points would have warranted them m the construction of a railroad over a ditance of two hundred and fifty miles When the building of this rail road line was begun the world had notice of what might be expected in the future from the Copper Queen mines. That many other valuable producing mines will be developed here by companies other than the Copper Queen no one will for mo ment doubt The companies who are new in the field are investing large amounts of money every month and as a result Bisbee is receiving the benefit. We do not look for the sue cess of all the various enterprises; We would be silly 1T We did. but every enterprise is backed by those who are willing to take chances In this favored mineral zone.
 Yesterday afternoon quite a de!ega- tion of American mining men arrived from Sonora. The party included Charles Suits. Lee Benton. Alexander Grant. Tom Spence and NIT. Foster
 They are here in connection with some de ails relating To the perfecting of the organization of the Lucky Tiger company.
 Tom Speroe is a potent factor n the operation Of the big enterprise al l.! Tigre. He is on his way to Hermo- sillo to secure men 10 prosecute the work necessary in opening up the pig property. He states that about loo men are at work on the ground now
 Charles Suits is one of the original locators and chief promoters or inc great camp. He states that work has already begun on the new wagon road, which will run south of the old route cross the Yaqui below the mouth or Agua Caliente canyon. and leave Bota creek to the left.
 Alex Grant knows many people IT Bisbee and does not expect 10 be lost while here. Lee Benton took the train for his home in Naco shortly after his arrival. ard could not be interviewed
 The members of the party state that George Hill. well known in Bisbee. had moved over to the Gooiencugh camp permanently. SO far as they could learn.
 Tom Spence had with him some rich specimens of gold and silver ore. dug out of the main ledge running south up the steep mountain from the bot tom of Horse canyon.
 They are all more enthusiastic il: regard to the future of the Lucky ri ger than ever before. Most of them will remain several days. and from them can be obtained any amount Of reliable information in regard to that part of Sonora and its wonderful re- sources They will make their head quarters at the brokerage office of B. F. Graham & Co. while in Bisbee.
