papers in this section were re. quested not to say much of the plans formulated or of the work being done, and the occasional small paragraph that told of the doings of the Duquesne company were not such as might give to the outside world an idea of the mag nitude of the project. But the smel- ter trust had been watching the operations of Westinghouse for many years, while the people of Santa Cruz county paid no partlc- ular attention to rumors of the battle of giants going on in the in, dustrial world. That seemed to be an affair of vital interest only i'll financial circles in the east and not at all likely to interfere with the development of Santa Cruz county mines. None here thought year ago that the very rivalry that seemed to be bringing prosperity to the county wonld so soon quash, temporarily, at least, the great work that had been just com. menced. And the eagle, taking his morning vapor bath in the clouds above the mountain peaks, had tC raise his head and roll his eyes up, ward to read the prices on real estate in Patagonia and NogaIes Week after week the force at the Duquesne camp increased anu then, less than a year ago-Well panic seems to have been due and no doubt would have come i there had never been a mine 1T Arizona The crushing process was commenced. The embarrassment of the Westinghouse concern is [ matter of national history. It. temporary effect in Santa Cru county is known only in Sant, Cruz county.

PATAGONIA, Sept. l5.-Next week, G. B. Wilson, the freighter, will commence hauling to Patagonia for shipment to El Paso smelters, ore from the Duquesne mines, about twenty miles south of town. There is no work being done at the Duquesne properties and the ore to be shipped is that which was in stock at the camp when the shut down occurred almost year ago.
 The shipment will not amount 10 a great deal. The item has its interest mostly in that it Is re. hinder of as hard blow as was ever suffered by young county, rich in undeveloped mineral wealth, at time when development of the mining industry was about to be pushed on large scale. Few peo- pie outside of Santa Cruz county knew of the magnitude of the work planned and actually commenced. And few even in Santa Cruz county were aware of the widcspreading significance of the work, or of the conflicting influences that were at work for and against the big pro- feet. Few knew that here in Santa Cruz county work was being quietly pushed by the head of one of the greatest electrical manufacturing concerns in the world, to secure control of and develop copper mines big enough and rich enough to free him from the clutches of the worlds greatest trust-the Stand ard Oil Company.
 For years the Duquesne Mining X Reduction Company, backed by George Westinghouse, had repre- sentatives in Santa Cruz county buying in copper claims in tht Washington Camp district. Nc property was developed, but claims were bought from prospectors anC patented as soon as possible. Scores of claims were bought in by tho company and some seventy o seventy.five were patented anC finally plans were made for the de velopment of the. mines. Th' properties to be first developed were selected and plans drawn uI that would have required two year of work, at an expense of thre million dollars and furnishing em ployment for four hundred or fiv hundred men. At, the end of th two vears' work 1t was believed tn mines would be in condition t produce ore ard the smelters woul' have been installed on the Sant Cruz river, when active mining am smelling would have been com menced, giving employment to sev eral thousand men. In few year a big mining camp would sprln up where is now the almost de serted camp of Duquesne and

In speaking of his history, Mr. Haz-
gard said in effect that the work by
