The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-04-18

Territory, its principal vein parallel
ing the famous Congress mine, three
fourths of mile to the north, the
properties of the. Coronado Gold Min
ing company, now about to be equip
ped with hosting plant and twenty
stamp mill, are among the most
promising of the partially developed
mines in the territory. Located as
far back as May 1871, the ledges in
cluded in the holdings of the company
had a reputation for many years as
rich gold producers when the yellow
root deposits by the crude arastra
process, long before the great Con-
gress mine attracted the attention of
the world to its mineral wealth, when
opened under the direction of F. M.
Murphy, for Diamond 10" Reynolds.
Tailings left at the old arastra sites
by May and his associates, which were
purchased few years ago by William
McGregor, of the Congress mine
force, for So ton, netted him $50 a
ton when treated in the modern plant
at the Congress mill, showing that
the mine, when opened and the out
put treated by present day methods,
may yet even eclipse the great re-
cord of the Congress as a gold pro-
ducer.-Phoenix Democrat.
1t pays to buy Tucson real estate.
The sale of the Indian school proper
ty to P N. Jacobus for $50, 900 proves
this assertion completely for the
same property just one month before
was sold for the small sum of $3.50,
which was $40 per lot. The lucky
purchaser in the latter instance was
the Indian school and the seller was
the city of Tucson. The lucky seller
was the Indian school and the pur-
chaser was p. N. Jacobus, who, ac-
cording to general report secured an
excellent bargain. 1t was not because
the city was not desirous of securing
a big sum for the property that, it
was sold for such a small amount. 1t
was owing to the fact that a. lease
good practically for $50 years was
held on the property by the Indian
school that the city decided to give
the school people clear title to the
property which was theirs in fact
anyway, but from which the city re-
ceived no taxes. Now the city will
receive a good sum in taxes from this
property. The block sold included
forty-eight city lots which are each
66 feet in frontage. The lots were
altered into three kinds with so, 60
and 64.8 feet frontage by the Indian
school people before the sale and this
increased the number to 81. The
average price of each lot was $547.
This is considered a very fair price
for lots in the vicinity. The block is
located near the University between
Third and Fourth streets and second
and Third avenues Citizen,
A. T. Prather and his tather-in-law
w. J. English, two of Rodeo's prom
inent citizens and substantial busi-
ness men, were visitors to Paradise,
says the Paradise Record. Rodeo,
these gentlemen affirm, is brighten
ing up, and the cause is to be found
in the desirable farming land that
lies in the San Simon valley rou nd
about Rodeo During the past year
quite a number of families have NOV
ed into the valley from different por-
tions of the Union, attracted hither
by the climate and the land. And to
is understood that the San Simon
valley is one of the few sections where
fertile government land may be had
practically for the asking. The re-
suit is as intimated and the land is all
taken up for exceeding mile from
Rodeo in every direction. Mr.. .Prath-
er replied that if present plans should
carry, the farmers need not depend
on precipitation. Said he: We ex-
pect to demonstrate artesian water
in the valley. Every Indication points
to its presence. A land and irriga-
tion company has been formed to in
duce new settlers to come and aid
them in securing land (for there is
plenty of good land left; also to fur
nish artesian water. A well-boring
outfit is already on hand and has
drilled 200 feet; not finding the form
alton desired, the drillers have begun
to work at another point. Artesian
water is believed to exist at a depth
of 800 feet" Rodeo has petitioned
the board of supervisors of Grant
county, N. NJ, for the representation
as a school district, and as justice
and voting precinct, the applications
having been made last month. G. w.
Shipman, the well-known rancher
who lives several miles to the north
west of Rodeo, also reports activity
in that section. Several settlers, he
states have made application to the
government for an official survey of
unsurveyed land. Mr.. Shipman says
he has had numerous inquiries for
land and that he was asked to name
a price for his quarter section, much
of which is cultivated.
