county in this year was completed last
week. BY this transaction T. j. Quill
Ian disposed of his interest in seven
mining claims located in the Apache
Pass district to the Grayson Mining
company The consideration was
5000. This district is located in the
northeastern part of the county, close
to the line of New Mexico, and is said
to be one of the best undeveloped re-
gions in the county. On account of the
wildness of that section and that it
has always been infested with Apaches
until the past few years. it could not
be developed without the lives of the
prospectors being in constant danger.
There are now in that pass dozens of
graves which mark the victims of the
renegades. Several Tombstone parties
are interested in that section, including
Andy Garrett and Charles Hart, who
are doing some development work on
their claims in that locality. The dis
trict promises to bring good results
within the next six months, as the
Grayson company expects to put a
large force of men at work.
