PROMISES TO BE
 BIG MINING CAMP,

ize the great store house Of treasure in the Silver Hill mountain, located about 35 miles west from Tucson ris- or Orivaca valley and which is reach ed by rail by Bedrock, or the shorter route by the Silver Bell road. There are 230 mine and mining claims be- ing worked, developed or prospected the Tucson Star.
 On the west end O the range are located the Cleveland and Arizona mines composed of the Atlas and Red rock groups, upon which there IS con siderable development and which are being systematically worked by tnls company, with showings or large Dod ies of copper ores.
 The Imperial Copper company 10 'Ie center of operations in the dlslrict' owns what was formerly known as lhe old Bot properties. US "orSIhs, are down zee feet where they nave large bodies of high grade copper SUI nhide and from which they are snip hing over 200 tons daily to the Cop ner Queen shelter. ,oo
 This company employs between 4Vo and 300 men and the Imperial camp has a population of over 1000 people The Imperial Copper Go. promises rival any of the great copper produc ing mines of Arizona.
 Arrangements are being made fol the erection of alarge plant five ol si miles from Bedrock and there i abundance of water and other inviting facilities for establishing large custom plant.
 The great Oide companies proper ties adjoin those of the Imperial which there are fifty claims. Suffi cient work has been done to establish the eistence of large bodies of cop per ore. Active operations on a large scale will soon be the interesting feat ure of the Oide camp.
 The three foregoing companies men tioned hold about one hundred and fiji ty claims in the aggregate which em- braces the best part of Silver HI proper and which combined, will. it predicted and not in the distant flu ture, develop one of the largest an, richest mining industries in the Unit ed States. For the copper is hig grade, in large bodies and all carry iQ, many cases in sufficient quantity tc pay for the entire cost of bullion pro duction, giving the coper as net profit

The showing is exceed ingly good the veins are large an firm and bid fair to develop a gol camp of much importance tributar, to this mining center.
 The Indiana and Arizona Coppe. company comprise a group of about twenty claims. The principal mines being the old bbey Waterman which was discovered twenty-five years ago and from which rich shipments of lead and silver were made at that time- This company is now managed by George Smith, the working shaf is down three hundred and twenty feet in large ore body averaging peI cent copper.

This indicated the vaIue nf this section of the district.
