GOOD SHOWING ,OF COPPER ORE
 IN DRAGOONS
indications That New District Will Come Into Producing Column and Make It's Mark In Arizona.

That the district between the South Pass in the Dragoons and the south end of the Turquois Hills is destined to become one of the laEgest copper producing districts in Arizona IS a feregone conclusion No place in the territory has such 8 showing as is now being made on the north side of the. Dragoons between the two points mentioned. Just east of the pass is the old Copper King propeSy On which there was erected a small thirty-ton jacket and which prop erty has an excellent showing. The property was tied up in litigation for number of years, but at present is in the hands Of parties who are get ting ready to begin active operations, During the past week representatives of the company from Providence, Rhode Island, have been at the camp and making arrangements for the employment Of a number of men. Further east comes the property of George Cummings and F. N. Wolcott on which there is a fine showing of carbonate and Sulphide ores
 Adjoining this property Walter Cummings has a group of nine claims with much the same showing as has been made on the Woicott group, and on which he is endeayoring to close q deal with eastern people at a good figure. Continuing further east to- ward the Great Western and Gleason c3nps excellent croppings are found oa claims belonging to Sy Bryant, Frank Payla and others which all are destined to join the producing class as soon as they arc further developed.
 At the present time the southern end Of the district or that in the i'm mediate vicinity of the Great Western and Leadyille properties is being proven up and ore bodies of immense size have been uncovered during the past week that forever sets at rest the theory that there was nothing in the Dragooas. The work that was done OF the Leadyille property by the Calumet & Arizona interests proved that there were large bodies of both Sulphide and carbonate ores in that section In the new shafts that have been started on the Great Western property and which are now down to a depth of 165 feet. the miners have already gone through several feet of ore In one of the shafts there has been uncovered a body Of glace ore that will run from 50 to 60 per cent, while in one of the others a large body of sulphide ore has been un- covered. In the three shafts that are now being sunk there has been ore bodies opened up in every instance, and the bodies are increasing in size as the depth is increased. There is not the least doubt now but what the Great Western Group will prove to be one of the largest producers in the Southwest.
 On the Cowan group which was re- gently bonded by the c. & A. for $65,- 900 in two shafts that have been started ore bodies have been uncover cd in both of them that proves that one of the largest bodies of carbonate ore that has ever been opened up in the Dragons lies in this property and with the continued depth promises to eclipse anything ever found in Ari- 'zona The body has already been topened to such an extent that 1t has surprised the management in charge, who knew from the developments made in the BeadviIle property that the main ore body was in the Cowan group. but had no idea that it was anywhere as near as large as the present development has shown IL to ibe and it's extent is not fully de- ltermined.
 Work is soon to be resumed on the ,LeadviIle company's property, either ! by the original Beadville company, or l. else with Michigan people. It was through the working of this property by the C. & A. people, who had it . under bond that the present ore bodies in both the Great Western and Cowan properties were discovered. A study of the formations that were encounter ed in this property and the dip of the ore bodies plainly displayed to those in charge that similar ore bodies would be found in the adjoining prop critics. It was in the Leadville prop erty that the large body of carbonate ore was discovered which measures over 100 feet in depth.
 On the Casey property which is under bond by the c. & A. from Mar tin Costello, the company is at work in two shafts and have uncovered con- siderable ore in both of them similar to that uncovered in the surrounding properties that goes to prove that the entire section in that locality is one
