 THE WONDERFUL HUAcHucAs
 It would appear that the deliver
 ance of the Huachuca district is at hand. John Pyatt, who came direct
 ly from the mining field in the Hua- chucas brings the information John
 was born in the saddle and like all
 hereditary cowboys, would not dis. mount to pick up a nugget, therefore his observations are unbiased and he |! states that interest in the Huachucas ] is picking up remarkably.
 i Hamburg has prepared to put eigh- 1 ty men to work on his Wisconsin group at the head of Ramsey in a few days. That property is well devel oped and 8 reduction plant will fol- i low early in the spring.
 The Huachuca Consolidated in the 1 saddle on the summit between Mil l ler's peak and North peak, is splendid ! ly developed with about 5000 feet of 1 level work and is an admirable low 1 grade gold proposition. About two years ago President Palmerlee made an effort to raise sufficient funds to ] place a reduction plant on the proper ! ty, but his half-hearted following de- serted him, and the commendable plan failed. But Palmerlee is a dauntless and indefatigable man; he knows he has a meritorius proposition and will renew the fight at the first available moment, and we have a right to believe that he will ultimate ! ly win. His courage and determina- ton certainly entitle him to success. Date Graham has a very promising copper proposition from surface standpoint at the head of of Ash. The old Curtis property, lower down in Ash, has cleaned up a neat fortune, shipping high grade copper, associat- ed with valuable bi-products, but has shortly resume work.
 The Old Salvation Army, forming the center of the Eureka group, has been a fine producer and mas not been worked out Numerous other proper ties in the Huachucas have produced the goods in abundance. The Mitch i ell Development, in Moctezuma can yon, alone seems to have developed mortifying failure. Everything con sidered it is a good district, but ev- hn6 hoA hannunar sleeves for 1t for years until quite re- gently, when its merits have begun 1 to break through the barrier of pre- | judice which bulkheaded its drift of progress for so many long years. GOLD PRODUCTION
 ! More than s1 1,0O0, 900 worth of gold was produced every day of the year | during 1905, the total production Of 1 that year having been s376,2S9, 200. During the past five years a total of s1 ,60S, ,373, 400 of gold has been mined | in the world, an average of over S32l,- 900, 900 a year. The production of gold in the past ife years was s1'2S6'- | sos, 400.
 i In the past ten years, therefore, a total of S2,S94, ,S7S,8 800 of gold has | been produced. in the world, this be- ] ing one-quarter of the total produc- 1 ton since the discovery of America. ! Since 1S00--a period of 105-years | I-there has been mined in the world l S9, ,203, ,943, 800, about 30 per cent O. which has been produced in the past | ten years. 4 comparison of the pro ! auction from 1896 to 1905, inclusive with the production from 1851 to 1860,
 inclusive, is of interest because the
 decade preceding the civil war was the last great gold-producing period of the world. In that decade there
 was added to the worlds supply of
 gold $1,332, ,9S1 900, while in the last | ten years more than double that amount has been mined. In fact, the
 product of the past five years exceeds by nearly S300,000,0 600 the total world
 production of gold in the decade fol- lowing the discovery of gold in Cali | fornia
 In all probability the worlds pro-
 duction for 1906 will amount to S4OO,-
 000, 900. The question Is how long this rate of production can be
 kept up. On the one hand, science and invention are constantly at work
 to reduce the cost of production, and on the other is the ever-increasing difficulty of procuring cheap labor for the mines. In the Transvaal the labor ! question Is the one supreme factor,
 and if Chinese labor is to be prohibit ed, then many of the mines will have to stop operation and many new de- velopments will be prevented.
 l This question is one of enormous importance In fact, no other eco ] ro-~'@ H~r~n ie at present in operation
 in the world of more stupendous pow
 CT than that of the gold production.
