 group of:gentlemen who are V able to. make big mine
 there is anything to make ilE
 out of. That there Is ev, z,
 dication of a big property l,- doubtedly the opinion of Mi ,,. ao lett This is arrived at by the
 reading of letter written to his
 father few days ago g. assstrom
 which The Republican is F 1ff11s ted
 to make a few extracts, T eletter
 was not written for publiAon and
 the coms"ents concerning the young
 mans new position and the prop

 confidential correspondence Ev-
 cry big mine developed in Arizona
 helps the entire territory and with
 that in mind these extracts are of
 general interest The letter says:
 q arrived here Christmas day and found this one of the finest
 camps 1 ever saw. It is situated
 twenty miles from the Canyon in
 the thick cedar and pine tim ber A
 two and half mile spur runs from
 the railroad to the camp, so you see that with wood, water and transportation it is, by no means, as hard game e.s 1 have been up against before. The winters are not exceedingly hard, although we are having the second snow of the season and the mud is mile deep. (This is probably an approximate and not an actual measurement ] The summer climate Is the best on the market and if 1 am here next summer l will surely have you up here out of the heat.
 As for the mines. we have some thirty claims in group. all with a goodly showing of copper in the lime capping and far enough de at the present time to in sure a big property in just the surface ores at the present price of copper. As this body or surface ore Is six miles long and one and a half miles wide in a continuous horizontal bed of lime, and as the cropping is on an upheaval ridge, the highest in the country here a about. and as there is evidence of i deep seated vents along the ridge. | the assumption is that below in the eruptive rocks is the source of this immense bed of copper. The up shot of all this is that my orders will probably be to go 20O0 feet in two different places, to get the stuff, if need be. There is a shaft | now down 600 feet and that one l 1 will be at work on inside of two months making the. dirt fly. l nave on the claim a fine blacksmith shop with al the tools necessary, l head frame good for 2000 feet, a steam geared hoist and accessories for that depth, an eighty horse power Rand air compressor, and seven machine drills, a battery of boilers. etc, all as good as new, as
 hey were only in commission about six months when litigation began. We also have gasolene loist for the other shaft and will be hitting the high places" within wo months.
 "This is the prettiest camp lmong the trees that was ever con ,eived. It consists of large store md office building, assay office, )arns, dining room and kitchen for 90 men, superintendent's resi- lence, three bunk houses and four dwellings,. That, as you see, is omewhat of a camp. About lozen men are now fixing things ID and putting the camp in repair or the big things to come.
 "Taken altogether it is a fine place and the best of it is that the people are first class. They are mining men from the word go, full ,f business and have sufficient {
