ATTRACTING ATTENTION.
Many interested Visitors Looking Over the Mining Districts of Santa Cruz County.

PATAGONIA, July 23-That the mining districts of the Santa Rita and Patagonia mountains are at tracing the attention of investors is evidenced by the number of strangers who have visited Pata- gonia during the past few weeks. And those who came did not sit around on the hotel porches and leave on the next train, but in every instance hired saddle horses and spent several days riding about the country, looking at min ing claims. They have come from eastern cities and western cities, and if any of them regretted their visit to Patagonia or the rides through the mining districts in the mountains, their satisfied express sions and commendatory remarks did not leave that impression on Patagonia people who met them. And during the next ten days two other parties of eastern capitalists are expected to come to Patagonia to look over the mining field.
 Several causes have combined during the past few months to at- tract outside attention to the min ing districts adjacent to Patagonia. The development of the Gringo gold mine, the extensive prepara- ton of the Salero Mines Company for the development of a number of properties, the big copper strike at the Four Metals mine, and the encouraging outlook at score of other properties in this vicinity, news of which has been spread broadcast throughout the country through the efforts of the Patagonia Chamber of Commerce, have finally convinced many mining investors that here in Santa Cruz county are ore bodies as large and rich as any that have been found anywhere in the Rocky Mountains. Now that this truth is becoming known to the outside world, many changes may be looked for in this vicinity in the near future.
 The "chlorider," like the "poor Indian" has had his day and the miner, who digs down deep into the earth, is coming to the mining districts of Santa Cruz county, and he is coming to stay.
 The result of going below the "chlorider's" depth, and delving four or five hundred feet into the earth, instead of scooping the rich ore from the surface and then bandoning the property, has been pro6tably proved at the Four Metals mine, in the Mowry district where one of the largest bodies ol copper ore ever discovered in Ari- zona has been cut into at a depth of between four hundred and five 1 hundred feet. It is also safe to as sert that 1t has been proved by the

Some weeks ago THE OASIS men toned the fact that the tangled aAairs of the Estrella Mining & Smelling Company were in course of adjustment, and that when everything should be arranged the financing of the enterprise had been provided for in the East, which would result in development of a valuable property. This week the last step in reorganization has been effected, all the titles have been strengthened out, and the com pany is prepared again to go ahead and develop it's valuable properties. The last transaction in series was reorganization of the Mexican hold ing corporation, La Compania Minera de Estrella," which was effected at meeting of the share. holders held Tuesday in the office of Licenciado A. Gonzales, in No gales, Sonora. As constituted now inc directors and officers of the Mexican corporation are: Allen T. Bird, president and treasurer; Dr.. A. Heayenston, vice president; Frank H. Howard, secretary; Frank Mannion, auditor (comisaria). The shareholdrs of the American cor poration, "The Estrella Mining & Smelling Company" held meet ing in May, wherein reorganization of that corporation was effected, the directors and officers being as follows, viz: Doctor A. Heaven ton, of Nogales, Arizona, president; J. W. Bawden, of Cerro Prieto, So- nora, first vice president; John Hawkady of Cananea, second vice president; Frank H. Howard of Nogales, Arizona, secretary; Allen T. Bird, of Nogales, Arizona, treas urer and general manager. Later MT. Walter M. Reed of Kansas City, Missouri, was made fiscal agent of the company. The Amer ican company holds the entire capital stock of the Mexican cor poration, and the latter owns the valuable mining properties belong ing in the enterprise, and in its name All business in Mexico will be transacted.
 The two corporations were or ganized in October, 1908, on a valuable gold property in the municipality of Cucurpe, in the Magdalena district of Sonora. The name of the property is Los Janos, Including ten hectares of good mining ground. At the time of or ganization there was conveyed to the company half interest in the property and an option on the other half. Stock was sold to the amount of several hundred dollars which were expended in driving several tunnels and sinking shaft about sixty feet. In some of the workings there were cut two of the seven le'tges in the group finding good ore, showing very satisfactory values in gold and silver. De. nouncement was made in the name Oi the company of the Guerrero, in. ciuding eighteen hectares of ground adjacent to Los Janos, in which !ne seven lodges mentioned unite In one great ledge thirty feet in

There they have used a diamond drill for several years, without making pub lie the result of the prospecting, but as the company is now making extensive preparations for the dew elopment of a number of the prop critics so prospected, 1t is quite cer- tain that the diamond drill cut ore. It is being proved at the National Consolidated, where a shaft is now down over two hundred feet and where every weeks work makes the property look bigger and better. It is being proved at the Gringo where the company ordered the shaft sunk six hundred feet It will be proved at the Santa Rita No. 2 group of claims, on the Veta Grande, in the Wrightson district, where the deep est sha it is not more than one hun dred feet. There the Arizona Pittsburg Mining & Smelling Com pany have just commenced opera tions and will prospect the vein to depth of several hundred feet.
 These operations are now being watched by mining investors throughout the United States and only a little encouragement Is needed to cause an influx of capital and rapid changing of ownership of scores of mining claims. The copper strike at the Four Metals, because of its enormous size, will he soon, no doubt, known from coast to coast and will add to the interest being manifested in the mining districts surrounding Pata- gonia. The Morning Glory copper mine, showing up better every week, will attract its quota of in- terested admirers. At the Happy Jack there will be something doing in the near future, as w. H. Bar nett, manager of the company, will return soon from Philadelphia, where he is now in conference with the other members of the company in regard to the development of the mine. He is expected back from the east in about ten days, with money to put i'll machinery and rush the development work.
 A party of California capitalists are now in Patagonia, looking over the Castle Butte copper claims, owned by James Heating, E. H. Evans and A. J. Stockton, with a view to purchasing and developing the property Ben Heney is mak- ing strenuous efforts to interest California capitalists in prosition to operate the big Hardshell mine, in the Harshaw district, one of the biggest silver mines in Arizona.
 And work at a score of prospects is going on slowly but surely, the prospector digging away determin- edly and in almost every instance with plenty of encouragement. The Bland and the Viceroy look better every week, the Leek Mcdonald has the ore but no capital for a shelter, and dozen other instan- ces might be cited of good ore veins held by men who have not the means of developing them. The deep mining now in progress will soon change these conditions. Where the ore bodies are sufficiently shown up, capital will come. And those who are sinking deep enough in the mines of Santa Cruz county are showing up the ore in quant-

SJOck Sdle5 CedStu, tue OpIlOn Oll the half interest in Los Janos mine was allowed to lapse, and no ar rangement was made to take up the titles to the Guerrero mine when they should come. In this situation of affairs the enterprise languished. and it seemed as though the original owners who had organized the company and made over to 1t their property stood fair chance to lose everything. Sometime last winter three of the holders of promoters shares, who together could control the com pany, offered Mir. Bird large slice from their holdings of shares if he would go into the company, work for it's reorganization and assume the active management, which he consented to do should the prop erty bear examination. In March he visited the mines, made a care- ful examination, brought away large quantity of 50-lb samples, as
 says from which made by Charles L. Taylor gave handsome returns in gold and silver, the result being that he was convinced that the property is we'll worth working. So the work of reorganization and rehabilitation was undertaken. A meeting of the American company was called in May, at which all the principal stockholders were present or represented, there being voted a total of 550000 shares out of about 600,C00 that had been issued; and by unanimous vote the reorganlza- tion was carried out by the election of the officers named above. The next step was to secure the title to the half interest in Los Janos mine that had been held under an option that had been permitted to lapse. After considerable negotiation the deeds to that were executed and recorded about two weeks ago, the owners accepting shares in the American company for their inter- est. Last Saturday the titles to the Guerrero mine were delivered to Miguel Latz x Brother, the com pany's agents at Magdalena; and as stated hereinbefore, the entire train of work has been completed by reorganization of the Mexican holding corporation. this week.
 MT. Reed, the fiscal agent in Kansas City, has undertaken to raise funds for development. The gentleman is an experienced broker, and there is no doubt of his capa- city and capability in that direc- tion. AS soon as available funds are in hand a contract will be let to sink the shaft to a depth of 200 feet and crosscut 300 feet each way, which will cut all of the seven lodges in Los Janos ground.
 About three weeks ago Mir. Bird visited the ground again, and went over it very carefully, bringing another large quantity of large samples, fran which assays made by Mir. Godfrey Hughes confirm and support those made by MT. Taylor. Several 30 lb samples right from the croppings of the various lodges yielded $15 in gold or thereabout, and twenty ounces, silver, per ton; and assays equally good were yielded by ores from the workings mentioned. And in all the lodges, wherever the croppings have been sampled and assayed
