 The Salvation Army.
 This property, now a part of the
 Eureka Combination, which was tho
 scene of actual operations the las time under the hand of the celebrated
 O. B. Stein, was years ago under ths management of DoHelly. a very sue
 cessful shipper, and Is by no mean'
 exhausted When absorbed by the kEureka system, however. it became
 an integral factor in the subject o1
 manipulation and its modest drifts and stopes have been permitted to cave beneath the hand of time and the action of the elements.
 The Golden Lilly and the Outlook
 both now a part of the Huachuca Con solidated, have both been modest pro ducers years ago, but nothing has
 been done to extract vaules from their ore bodies since becoming 8 part Of that group.
 | Numerous other small propositions in the Huachucas have made respec table stakes" for their owners in years gone by, but attempts at hand ling chloride propositions or super ficial producers have been abandon ed in the general plan of consolida- | ton and standard operations which as yet has borne no substantial fruits. This practically rounds up the meager list of producers, though every rusty old timer you approach will tell you about a score of others, none of which | his next neighbor, who has dozen of his own. ever heard of.
 The Mitchell Development.
 This enterprise, practically dealt the coup de grace" to district already writhing in moribund agonies under | the combined effects of outside slumps. misguided development, mis- management and malicious knocking at home
 The company selected Montezuma canyon as the theater' of its opera tions. Except for few shallow holes and a little "gambusino' work per formed by the Jesuit system in the days when the memory of man ran not to the contrary and which brought forth a few tons of lead, zinc, anti mony and other rebellious elements combined, no inducements would ap- pear to justify standard development operations. It was the most unlike | ly'' field that could have been select ed, yet as usual, because a strong company was behind it, all eyes were 1 turned to the result as everlastingly | settling the fate of the Huachucas. | Forty-three claims were embraced in l the vast holdings of the Mitchell De i velopment, and, so far as returns have come in, Gus Baron and Charley Mansur were the only ones among the original holders who ever received a | cent for ringing the death knel tn their hopes and aspirations, the one getting 1OTo on several claims and the other 20To on one claim. .. Recent efforts have been put in motion to revive the company, but | the undertaking carries a hopeless | complexion at present writing.
 Huachuca Consolidated.
 This property has a unique history. Sitting serenely astride of the range in the saddle mid way between Mil ier's peak and North peak, embracing | . growth of timber with more water than necessary, it presents elgnt | paraIlel gold quartz lodges. beautifully adapted to development and reduction operations When the company was organized with such men as J. 5 | Cowan and other prominent men in the lead, it's development stock sold freely. When 24.000 came into the T ,afT he sale of stock, believing they could sell more at anytime when needed. That is where they, along with the Copper Glance, Bisbee Consolidated, Mar quette & Arizona, Bisbee West. and 2 hundred other propositions in Cochtse county made the grand mistake. That 24,000 was spent most judiciously by President Palmerlee for the sound development of the property, with about 2,5o0 feet of legitimate level work to show for it, and judging from a thousand assays and few small mill runs,. the great amount of ore in sight would richly justify nifty stamp mill. but when the president opened up the stock box and under took to sell stock on vastly better contentious than in the beginning, the reaction had taken place, and none there were who would lend ear for a moment. except a few tried and trusty
 shareholders in Michigan, and they were too few to redeem the situation The Bisbee contingent gave the un dertaking the marble heart and now
 for years. just as the property was in shape to demonstrate that a re
 turn could be realized, it is hung up indefinitely for want of capital witf

 Butte-Arizona.
 The most recent move of importance and which for time promised to be lthe Messiah for ali the past misfor- tunes of the district, was the Butte Arizona.
 Financed and managed by such emi- nent blood as the Hoatsons and other Michigan parties, it immediately gave i birth to confidence in the outcome of the whole district. since it was un- derstood that one successful venture l would prove a key to the vast re sources which the Huachucas are sup | noaed to have locked away fn It's
