Bisbee daily review., 1909-02-14

The certainty Of new railroad faci' ltics into Douglas, both from the nor and south, has stimulated mining oper. ati0ns very perccpJibly during the last two weeks. The Courtland sit. nation is common property in newspa- per circles and needs no review.
 Activity all over the Dragons may be observed. the result Of the sudden debut Of the Courtland district into the society of proven producers. On the other hand. the Buite-Ari- z0na. the last hope on which the pro meters of the Huachuca district hung a cir faith, has shut down flor lack O.. funds.n and it would appear that inat district is as far from a realiza- tiCn Of material success as ever.
 There is something positively in
 Aplioable about the situation in the Huachucas. where numerous proposi- tious show up handsomely on the sur face, and many small producers nave brought handsome dividends.
 The failure of the Butto-Arizona. 9frer inc collapse Of the Mitchell De -,lopment company in Montezuma canon. looks bad for the future.
 The assertion by a local authority rpc,.pfK app.aring in tLc Douglas h. teruational to the effect that the Chir- ic1hu.s. or California district was -carcely less Important than the Courtlard field. would seem to be ialr- l> horne out 1T one should take the troubIa to canvass conditions in the -biriclhuas carefully. From surface .tardpoint. at least, there Is no nor. inviting field on the map oi Arizoha than the Paradise district.
 Now recent developments ID the DIS bee Sonora, on the Savage and other uranertles in that locality, have oeeh eminently satisfactory. and the dis- trict enjoys better prospects than ever before in it's his'~-~
 T ". Smith. .ated with Mar Moore and other in the Dunn Springs section of the district. is in Douglas today. He has twelve men at work on his Willie Rose, and eight men al work on I.ewandovski's Rabbi group VI hich joins him, and the work IS bringing most agreeable results II viii be remembered that forty pound nugget of native copper was picked up on his property about two years ago which may be seen at the store of NesSrs Powers and McCord at Por- tal. ard numerous specimens Of uasYc cooper and copper glance were founa on and near the surface in the same locality.
 ODerations in the Savage. which is [ erhaps the deepest and most eXten- s.vely developed property in the dis trict. are demonstrating that the Chiricahua ore deposits have depth. and the district is quietly redeeming itself as work progresses.
 To the South.
 il is to the south. however, where the new impulse seems to be directed, largely the result of the approach oi the Cananea, Rio Yaqui Y Pacifico. which. when its pians shall have been carried out. will connect the Mocte- zuma. the Sahuaripa and the Suaqui de Batuc districts with Douglas on the north and the port Of Mazatiah on the south and west.
 Added to this happy situation. the final medication of the Iaquis Is or vast importance to prospectors, min ing men and investors.
 AIrssrs. Cunningham and BorEeson were in Douglas yesterday. MT. Gun ningham has prospected and denounc- ed mining lands extensively in the Suadui country for a local combina- ton with L. C. Shattuck and Morris Dem at the head, and has travelled and prosDected extensively in SinalOa, along with Ed Austin and Cap Black man and pTOnOunces the Suaqui de Batuc the richest field from pros pecJor's standpoint which he has ever investigated.
