 Messrs. J. H. McLaren and Perkins of Pittsburg have just left for home after spending a week at their prop erty, The Corona" These gentlemen visited the Signal mine while here. and reported it one of the biggest things in the country. They also wis ited the Yuma property, on which they have an option, and from which they took numerous samples. This property belongs to Mrs Carmelita Campbell and s. A. Butler The re- cent visit of Messrs. McLaren and Perkins reminds us of the fact that the Corona" was one of the very few companies that went on doing business apparently undisturbed by the recent panic. The credit for this has been largely due to the efforts of NIT. McLaren, the president of the company. MT. Perkins, one of the stockholders of the Corona, is also a man of large means, who is greatly interested in this section. The Gun ningham Pass country, the Bill Will Hams and the Harqua Halas are all rich in prospects,. the finest mineral section along the A. & c. railway. but they are mostly prospects, and We need men with money to develop them into mines.
