of access, but has not as yet been able to secure a mechanic to do the work
 The cave has been formally segre- gated and reserved by the government.
 The mining industry has not snown that degree of activity during the last year that the real resources of thel district would lead one to expect. Thej reason for this is very evident to the practical observer. The Chiricahua de yelopment has been organized into the San Simon Mining company. but get ting away from the old name did not seem to reluvenate the proposition n the least ard two weeks ago all the men were called of even on assess ment work. Thus the leading proposi- ton. in point of capital, has failed toI meet the expectation of the surround ing property owners and hope has turned her face in other directions. Monumental mismanagement is the term which explains the situation in the Paradise district, which enjoys the finest conditions so far as development has progressed of any district in our field
 Extensive chloriding and shipping operations have, long since demonstrat- ed that the values are there and the persistent misapplication of capital alone tends to counteract the prestige which material conditions tend con- stantly to assert.
 Current Conditions in Different Prop critics. - What we have in former mention designated as the foothill district. con- tinues to maintain the lead, both in the matter of development and results of that decelopment' It includes the Say age, COchise, Paradise Mining, Larue, Mays group, Scanland, Oregon, Rich ardson and Williams group, these propositions ranging themselves like section of broken chain around Par
 adise to the east and north, and dis. tinctly separated from the main range
 by an undulating mesa.
 I The Savage.
 This property few months ago
 experienced an entire revolution in
 management and in the policy of the management Lewandowski, the pic. neer superintendent who worked con. scientiously and with fair judgment for
 the development of the property was lsuperceded by a management whose
 policy has never been announced lmuch less demonstrated.
 The only difference of opinion that could arise would be in regard to the
 most available system of reduction iLewandowsh recommended smelting and during his "uneventful" reign caused a small smelter to be installed
 on the ground.
 On the succession of the new man.
 agement the theory of reduction was
 reversed, and now the company is at
 work preparing to install a heavy
 hoist, sink a new working shaft, and build a concentrator. The merits of lthese various contentious form no part
 of the mission of this paper. The fact Iremains that the Savage has great
 deal of ore in sight and if present Iplans are carried out, will have a con, lcentrator of modest capacity in the lnext twelve months The next subject forming an inconspicuous link On this chain is the Mays, which is an unde, Iveloped private group of large dimen- sions upon which assessment work is
 in progress as we go to press. The cochise Consolidated.
 These people permitted themselves to be entangled a short time ago in lthe deadly tentacles of litigation and until it is disposed of, nothing but as. lsessment work will be attempted. Sev. : leral hundred feet of developments work have brought respectable bodies of
 chalcopyrite in sight, very good look. ing concentrating proposition, and a : concentrator of a capacity amounting to about experimental size was in stalled with little results beyond dem onstrating that To one knew how to operate it. The property looks good land will doubtless redeem itself in the end.
 The ScanIand.
 This property is next in the chain and has about the same formation and general surface conditions. A shaft 175 feet deep follows small ledge about 3 feet across, suddenly widening out near the bottom into gray sul-
 phides running about 3 1-2 per cent copper. On the other side assessment
 work in the breast of what is known
 as the east drift from 400 hundred
 foot tunnel has run into solid body
 Of highly metaliferous ore, carrying
 copper, lead ana zinc in very nigh
 per cent, and looking reTnarkably promising.
 Lew Scanland is prosecuting work
 in this drift at the present time.
 The Doran-Gallagher, which made
 quite furry about year ago, is con,
 hning it's development work to assess
 ment this year with favorable results
 so far as the work has proceeded.
