RICH IN COPPER Is GUAYhOPA
 DISTRICT
An Undeveloped Section ot
 Chihuahua Will Become
 Prominent When TranSpor-
 tatlon Facilities Are Better

The fact that q number of citizens of Doueias and Morenci are interested in lne uua, nopa development con- pany, now deveioping properues in the Guaynopa disiglcI in ti>- state of Chi huanua. makes the following article from me Chihuahua knterprlse or in terest to keylew readers.
 "The Guaynopa district is so called because that IS the name gwen by the Aexicans to a cluster or ancient ruined houses on a stream oi the same na1.e and flows into the Aros river from the nor,a in the northwest cor nor of the Districto de Guerrero in this sta.e 1t IS aoour miles nolth Of the sic Cf the new town of Dedrick and will be about the same dlstance from the railIoad now being Euilt by the w. (. Greene interests from Te- mosaohic on he Chihuahua SS Pacific railroad into the Jumper lands of the Sierra Madre Land & LImber Co. The distance from railroad Lransporta- tion has been the great draw oack to the development of the very prom ising copper mines in tiIat section.
 What is known as the Guaynopa district consists of a cluster of mines on nigh ridge between Guaynopa and Haciendita creeks and some east the latter stream. Some of these mines were probably ~orked by the atofigines in past centuries, their ex- cavations being sill in evidence.
 Tradition has i. that some fabulous ly rich mines were opened up there in the 18th century and were walled up and hidden at the time of Indian raids and the miners murdered while fleeing for safety. The bones of the pack animals are still pointed out as proof of the wholesale slaughter which ended their flight. Some old Spanish wills are still in existence in Guerrero whereby the testators sought 50 con vey to their heirs the title to mines in Guaynopa district, the wills giving directions where 10 find the tools which had been cached near the mines.
 Mining experts who have visited and reported on the GuayRopa dis trict aver that it will yet become . great producer of copper as vast quan titles of ore of that metal are founc there. Almost every assay gives alst some gold, generally from s to s5t golS ger ton thcuoh MessrSi Rice ant Garreson have been shipping ore that suDs many times higher than Ehe highest of these figures. Their prop erty lies low on Guaynopa creek an( they are temporarily hiniered by lacl of pumping facilities which they aT preparing to overcome and they fee certain of success.
 The Mexican Gold-Copper company an Arizona concern, is resuming worl on the Utah mine. It has well d. fined vein, f2 feet between walls. carefully chosen average of which as says s102 worth of copper. gold value s7 gold and 2 ozs. silver to the tor The Tres Amigos Gold Mining G has several different properties equa ly as good as those of the form2 company. Patch & Miller are maxim fine showings east of Haciendit creek
 owing to the deep canons cut the streams in this district. gres part Of the mines can be worked tunnels and consequently very cheal ly. As soon as the iransportatio problem is solved there is no dout but the Guaynopa district will 500 be one of the foremost in the Soul west as it is highly mineralized
 Fine specimens from this distrit are on exhibition at the Permanel Minfno ;n ,h;, o;.
