ARIZONA
 PROPERTIES

In my article yesterday 1 spoke of the investment in Arizona of large sums of money by Lake Superior cap italists. These companies have se- cured and opened up immense and valuable copper deposits which will yield large profits on the actual ex- pense of operation. One important thing which has followed this in vasion of Lake Superior men and money into Arizona is the introduc- tion of modern, upi to date mining methods and the infusion of a spirit of hustle winch has made the Span iard, Mexican and the languid Arizonans open their eyes. Arizona has come into the mining game to stay.
 There are several districts which are certain to have a great future, and in fact which have a great present. One of such is what is known as the Brad shaw mountain district. This is in Yavapai county and only a few miles from the Thumb Butte Mining and Milling company's property, which was recently capitalized for s75O, GOO. On this property upwards of l5,OOC feet of true Assure veins have been developed. Ten thousand dollar: worth of development work has been done on the property. This property was originally owned by W. A. Dear ing for upwards of twenty years. MT. Dearing owns a fine improved rancf of I6O acres of patented land on close proximity to the above mine.
 Some time ago several thousand dollars worth of ore was shipped tC the smelters. The shelter men gob, bled up all there was in sight and Mir. Dearing fell by the wsyside and wa: unable to carry the work on alone. The Thumb Butte company came tC his rescue. The officers of the com pany are w. A. Dearing, pr. J. Wat erloo Dinsdale, Dr. J. B. McNally and Frank D. Barr. These men vii put new life into the enterprise anC bring to light these hidden treasures This particular district was rich il the early days, so that the wandering miner with his pan and horn took ou many nuggets from surface ores More recently however Yavapai coun ty has been invaded by scientific anC practical men who have developed some very rich mines.
 The Congress mine Las developed . an immense body of ore and has als' paid many millions of dollars to it shareholders.
 This is one of the best knowl mines in Arizona and was visited b. the late President Mckinley on hi western trip, being selected as a rep resentative mine of the southwest. To the east of the Congress lies tn Octave which is owned and worked b. eight men. It is steadily producing 3 hundreds of thousands of dollars year and is regarded as a very rlcl
 proposition.
 To the north of this are a numbe . of mines which are consideraed yer.
 profitable propositions. The Crow
 Point mines are owned and operated
 by Governor A. O. Brodie.
 Numerous rich mines are foun' . further north, such as the Polnad , the Iron King, and the United Verde These properties are we'll known.
 Near Wickenburg the Gro Grande l one of the newer mines, is very prom ising and its stock has never sold les
 than par value on capitalization O . three million dollars. This mine g expected to be one of the greatest pro
 ducers in this section within a feN . years.
 @ It is impossible to give the exac r output of these other mines in tn
 county as most of them are close COT - porations and give out very little in D formation.
