MINING COMPANIES
 DOING GOOD WORK
After Years ot Prospecting Preparations Are Now Being Made for Deep Min Ing In the Santa Rita Mountains, Near Pstagonis.

PATAGONIA, May 26-Money, without which no mining district was ever sufficiently developed to attain and maintain a prominent and permanent place among the mining centers of the world, now seems to be heading, to certain extent, toward the mining districts adj jacent to Patagonia, in Santa Cruz county. It is not headed this way in million dollars rolls, but in rolls sufficiently large to insure a goodly amount of work during the ensuing year; work that no doubt will open a few mines in the Santa Rita mountains and finally bring this section to the attention of the investing public
 The Saleros Mines Company, after several years of prospecting, is now making extensive preparations for active mining. For some years past they have been prospecting about twelve miles from Patagonia. They have used q diamond drill and bored deep holes on the fam ous Montezuma vein, one of the biggest and most prominent land marks in this section. On other veins as well they have bored holes, sunk test shafts and tunnels. What they have found in the depths reached by the dia- mond drill they have not placed on exhibition, go far as the writer knows, but the prepara- tions now being made for active mining, and the amount of money being expended in the prepara- tions. is sufficient proof that their efforts have not been fruitless. The shaft at the Darwin will he sunk five hundred feet and at present a tunnel is being driven into the bill on the Eureka claim. Surface work at these properties shows high grade silver ore and copper ore. The determination of the company to put in mining mach inerv and sink the Darwin shaft five hundred feet certainly gives ground for the belief that the diamond drill work has disclosed the presence of good ore body be. low as well as near the surface, al the old Saleros.
 Part of the big Montezuma vein which is between the old Saleros where the camp is located, and Patagonia, is owned hy the Me- Cormick estate of Chicago (the Mccormick of Mccormick farm machinery fame) and part of it k covered by claims owned by George Clark and Jens Peterson, tive pioneer prospectOrs of this section The Clark and Peterson claims are under bond to the Saleros Mines Company and are being prospected
 The company k now grading the road from Patagonia to the camp. The old road is heinz grad ed in places and in other places the new road leaves the old route and swings in along the hillsides where the grade is being cut down and made more gradual. hy cutting into solid rock of the hillsides, fill ing in deep ruts and small arroyos making roadbed of rock that will not be damaged by every treshet
