a MINING CENTER.
The Outlying Mining Regions Tributary
to Nogales, and Contributing to its
Growth.

travellers S0JOurnlng at N0gales
and looking over the town, noting
its substantial appearance, evident
prosperity and continual growth,
inquire frequently with regard to
the resources whence they flow; and
almost invariably they end their
inquiries with the question: ''Is
there any mining going on about
here?"
When told of the different min
ing districts and active camps
within a radius of one hundred
miles that are tributary to the
place actually, and many more at
greater distances in Mexico, to
reach which those interested have
to pass the gateway at Nogales, in
quirers express no little surprise;
for the array of places that find No
gales their nearest and best point is
an imposing one, and an enumera,
ton of their various operations and
facilities shows at glance that
many millions of dollars are in
vested therein, and that the dis.
bursements they make must run
into figures that in the aggregate
would be veryimposing could there
be collated an account thereof.
Surveying Santa Cruz county,
Arizona. and passing in review the
mines and camps within easy dis
tance Of Nogales, which is their
political as we'll as commercial
center, there lie regions that have
produced richly in former years,
and the mines therein that show
production are but a precursor of
what will be accomplished with
judicious application of practical
principles and deep mining. Upon
the east lie the Patagonia noun
tains wherein are several mines
that have been famous in times
past, and others that are attracting
attention from the remarkable and
satisfactory developments that are
being made in virgin ground.
The property attracting the most
attention at present is that Of the
-Four Metals Mining Company, in
what is known as "The Red Hill"
on the west side of the summit of
the Patagonias, and bat Il short
distance from where the road to
Washington Camp passes at a
point about fourteen miles from
Nogales. A tunnel running from
the gulch below has penetrated the
hill at a depth of about 600 feet
below the summit and has cut q
great body of concentrating copper
ore the limits of which are not de-
fined, but which bears every evil
dence of being extensive and valu-
able. Developments in this ore
body are continuing as fast as men
and money can push them, and the
property seems destined to become
a great and permanent producer.
Lying in the same great mineral
belt along the backbone of the
Patagonia mountains, and but a
few miles southwark from the Red
Hill of the Four Metals Company
are the mines of the Duquesne
Mining & Reduction Company, at
Washington Camp and Duquesne.
This is strong company of Pitts
burg capital, with George Westing-
house president. Several groups

\ The Salero Mines Company have
the Eureka, Montezuma and sew
eral other valuable mines in the
same vicinity, from which they
| have made shipments of high grade
ores during several years. Their
recent work has developed the
depth and permance Of their ore
bodies, and they have an assured
place among the permanent and
profitable producers of Arizona.
This region is on the west flank
of the Santa Rita mountains, and
is embraced within what are known
as the Tyndall and Salero mining
districts of Santa Cruz county.
Other good properties in these dis
tricts are the Joplin group, the
mines of the Santa Rita Consoli-
dated Mining Company, the Bland
mine, the mines of George Clark
and associates; and there are many
more, too numerous to include in
this short article.
Crossing to the east side of the
Santa Rita are the Presidential
group that has shipped high grade
ores, within the year; the mines CT
the Happy Jack Mining Company
also shipper, and the Victor mines.
Passing on down the. southeast
ern slope of the Santa Ritas there.
is reached the camp Of the Mans,
field Mining Company, where there
has been expended a great deal of
money and over which there has,
bee d considerable controversy.
Work is still continuing, and THE
OASIS believes that the faith of the
people who have invested their
money will prove well founded.
To the eye Of the experienced min
ing engineer it would seem that
the Mansfield ground is a place in.
which to demonstrate the efficacy
deep mining.
The Mansfield camp is about ten
miles from Patagonia.
Passing down Temporal Gulch,
on which is located the Mansfield
camp, at a distance of two or three
miles is the Gringo mine, good
gold property upon which there
has been five stamp mill in oper- :
alton several years. Recently the
mill has been overhauled, FIVE
stamps additional and larger
boiler installed, and the mill is
starting again with the output
doubled. The mine has large re-
serves of good ore and its condi-
ton and situation are such that it,
will remain long time in the list
of permanent and valuable produc-
ers.
In the region about the Mans
field and Gyingo camps are many
good prospects that will become
mines with the investment of cap
ital and good, well directed effort.
Northward from Mansfield the An +
aconda-A Arizona company has a
group of very promising proper
ties, development of which, it is
stated, will begin shortly.
Passing around the east flank of
the Santa Rita mountains, Just :
across the line in Pima county,
are the Greatervlle placer mines,-
which have been worked by hy-
draulic process through period of
many years, and are yet among
the producers.
Away up in the lofty heights of
the Santa Rita mountains, above

all patented. Extensive develop
ment has been conducted during
years past, and there are large ore
bodies blocked out and ready for
stopping. At Washington Camp
the company has a reduction plant
with daily capacity of 100 tons of
ore. 1t is combination process,
embracing electric separation of
metals, water concentration and
smelling in reverberatory furnace.
At the time of the slump, in Octo-
ber, 1907, operations at Duquesne
and Washington Camp were sus-
pended, and the camps are quiet.
With the Strengthening of matters
in the East and the return to cir
culation of boarded money it is be-
lieved that Duquesne will be one
of the first among the suspended
camps to revive; and, as it employs
large force, the money put into
circulation monthly, much of
which flows to Nogsles, is of ma
terial benefit to the vicinity.
Northward from Duquesne about
six miles as the road winds, but
much closer in a straight line is
the Mowry camp, where are the
famous mines worked in the early
COS by Lieutenant,Sylvester Now
ry,- u. S. A., about which clusters
quite romance. Mowry was ac-
cused of reasonable acts and his
property conhscated Among other
sins laid at his door was the ship
ment of lead from these mines 10
the War Department of the Con-
federate government which it was
alleged was converted into bullets
for the use of its militant armies.
AT various intervals since the time
of the civil war the Mowry mines
have been worked and a great deal
of lead and silver extracted. Some
years ago they passed into the
ownership of an Eastern syndicate
which organized a corporation
under the laws of Arizona, TO work
these mires and others in the
Santa Rita mountains. A concen-
traitor and smelling furnace were
erected and In operation some time
and railway projected to connect
both camps with the Benson
Nogales line of the Southern Pacific.
The monetary stringency has
affected this enterprise also, and
the camp at Mowry is idle. In the
other camp, at Salero, in the Santa
Rita mountains, there are few
men at work.
Northward from Mowry about
six miles is the Harshaw camp,
where are located the Hermosa,
Hardshell and other good mines.
In the early history of the region
the Hermosa was wonderful pro-
ducer, and made shipments of rich
silver bullion, operating fine 20
stamp mill. 1t has passed through
various hands, and recently be-
came the property of Eastern capi-
tai, which is anticipating resump-
tion of operations at an early date.
West from Harshaw several
miles is the noted Worlds Fair
mine, which has been a shipper OF
high grade lead and silver ores
through many years. The owner
is. well satisfied with his property
and works ii in his own fashion,
contented to take his ease. 1t is
stated that whenever he needs a
little money he ships a carload OF

the Lead Queen, the J efferson, and
lothersa5 t~'i ~
South from ther Worlds Fair,
and in line with the Four Metals
Company'S propertyIis the Morning
Glory mine which is now in BON.
ANA, making frequent shipments
of high grade ores that net hand
some returns.
Other mines in the vicinity de-
serving favorable mention are the
Trench, Blue Nose, Bull Whacker,
Endless Chain; but to catalogue
them all would fill small book.
All these camps and mines are
within to twenty-five miles of No
gales, and easily reached over good
roads.
Upon the west side Of the Pata-
gonia mountains, twelve miles
from Nogales are the National
Consolidated mines, a large group
of good opertes working by a
corporation Of the same name, with
Offices in Chicago. In the immed-
late vicinity are the mines of the
Havalena Company, a local cor
porationwith good prospects. Other
west side properties are the Old
Soldiergroup, owned by the Chicago
d Patagonia Mining Company, the
Prudential mines, the Golden Rose,
the Flux, and many more.
In the northern part of the
country, and conspicuous from No
gales, ale the Santa Rita noun
tains in which is another rich min
eral field, wherein worked in the
antigua days the Spanish friars of
the Tumacacori mission, the ruins
of which, a large church eilifce are
in the valley Of the Santa Cruz
river, about thirteen miles from
Nogales. The old records of the
mission, now in Spain, are said by
early writers on Arizona to have
chronicled extensive shipments of
bullion by the friars, and consider
able work done in mining the ores
that yielded it. As yet very little
trace of their work has been found,
although some years ago in strip
ping the ledge in the ground of the
Wandering Jew mine Mark Lulley
uncovered some old workings show
ing valuable ore that had been COW
cred carefully and sedulously con-
cealed by some one who worked there
so far in the past that tradition,
even, has no account thereof. In the
property mentioned goodly ore
bodies have been developed by the
owner, Mark Lulley.
Through the next ridge to that
wherein is the Jew ground are the
old Goldtree mines. that yielded a
great deal of rich ore away back in
the 60s's; but those operating them
were driven out by hostile Apaches
Twenty years later they were
worked again with good results
Within the past few years they
have passed to the ownership of
the Santa Cruz Mines Company,
owning also the Mowry mines,
mentioned in paragraph preced-
ing, under which there has been
prosecuted extensive development,
exposing large bodies of good ore.
In the same vicinity are the
Trenton and other mining claims
owned by the Chicago & Arizona
Copper Company, where there has
been considerable work developing
i
