REPORTED WORK Is TO BE RE
sUMED AT CHRISTMAS.

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 23.-Thomas
Mckinney, one Of the big cat'lcmen
along the San Pedro, is n visitor in
Tucson. having come here Ia buy sup
plies. Mr.. Mckinney lives at Dudley
vile, which is located just n short dis
lance from Winkclmap, the terminus
Of the Phoenix A Eastern railroad.
Discussing mining conditions in his
section, Mr.. Mckinney said: "Mat-
tiers are rather quiet Just at present, in
n mining way. All of our big prop
critics have been closed down and the
operations now going on ar. very few.
Naturally the suspension Of the mia
ing operations have made things rather
quiet in tn, towns IN the district.
"lIowever, there is no pessinism,
and everyone looks for n resumption of
work in the mines AT an early date.
II il not generally believed that the
price Of copper will remain low. and
as soon as il advances the companies
will be able to take out ores again
at a profit.
| "Tbere is considerable speculation
as 10 what the Saddle Mountain Min
ing company will do with its Christ
mas properties. Recently number %
the big stockholders in the compsn,
paid "a visit to Christmas. They wen
all over the property, hut did not stat
what they would 10. II is reported
however, that work will again be r.
sumed on n big scale on this proper
within a few months. When the mine
NJ Christmas are running at their fu
capacity the camp has population o
more than 900 people. "
