Little attention has been given
TO one of the most promising min
ing districts, lying in that part of
Graham county known as the
Arayaipa, Clark, Gray Horse aud
Montezuma districts. The outlet
to the future mines would be on
the 5. P. and G. ", G. q N. Ry.
In the Aravaipa are very many
promising claims and prospects.
and all they lack is capital 10 de-
velop them. In fact, that is the
case through the whole district.
There has been no systematic min
ing anywhere. No one has gone
deeper than $50 feet and that
many could be counted on one
hand. AT present the only people
doing anything is the Kin-e-chy
Mining & Smelling Co a Michigan
concern. They baye a gold mill
ing proposition with ore enough
in sight to run a 100 stamp mill
for % years, besides what they
might have in depth They have
just started their mill aud from
this on, one can expect to hear of
big return. There are a great
many good prospects in this To-
cality, both gold aud copper.
South of this is the Clark dis
trict. There has been some good
and rich finds, but no ore shipped
with one exception. Some Of the
ore found has run very high in
values and with capital would 20
doubt give big returns.
East of this is the Montezuma
district, the most promising field
of all, not only for its mineral but
for its more accessible location.
A good down grade road runs to
the railroad.
The most work done so far has
been by the Mcntezuma Mining
Co., of st. Louis, under the super
vision of Wiley HolIaday, who has
been Identified with this part OF
the county for good many years.
They are down $50 feet in good
ore and the prospects of big mine
are very bright. They are at
present waiting to put in new
hoist, the one they have being ih-
adequate for the work
West and adjoining this are the
Pima Smelling Cos claims. They
have done some work with good
results; but on account Of some
dissentions in the company, work
has been stopped. S. S. Marshall
of Pima has been doing the assess
ment and holds the fee TO the same.
North of this the Moutezuma
company own several claims where
they struck very rich looking rock
last week They are down IS feet
and have a 6 foot vein.
South of the Montezuma is the
Iron Belle group Of nine claims
owned by some Michigan people.
Mr.. Bowden, one of the parties in
terested, is in charge. They have,
without doubt, the richest and best
looking outlook for mine in this
district. They are now down so
feet and cross cut %, where they
are in what looks like the vein of
n very large body of ore running
from $3.50 to s44 in gold This is
smelling proposition, the orc
running very high in hematite aud
lime. The outlook for these peo,
pie is certainly very bright. We
understand they have followed the
ore for few feet recently aud
found the vein increasing rapidly;
also that the ore was averaging
higher.
East of the Montezuma is the
Ronald Mining Co, They have
group of nine claims and from
what work has been done aud the
outlook on the surface, one can ex-
pect to hear from this in the fu-
ture. This gives an outline Of
what is heing done in this district
very seldom mentioned, and when
capitalists begin to realize its
value, il will rival any camp in
Arizona They do not bave TO
hunt for the ore with a diamond
drill or have TO 90 down 1000 feet
before they strike it, for it is on
the surface 10 follow. The future
OF this means considerable for the
valley on account of its proximity,
and we hope that success will at
