PIONEER IF
 THE WARREN
 DISTRICT HERE
Captain James Hoatson, Early Promoter of the C. & A. Property is in Bisbee on a Visit

Captain James Hoatson of Calumet, Michigan, who arr.ved from the north this week. is spending a few days in the Warren district and .n- eidentally looking over his extsns-ye interests here m the C. & A. proper ties. He speaks encouragingly of the lus.ness outlook and states that he has every reason to believe that within another twelve months busi- ness afia.rs VII be in a normal con ton.
 Captain Hoatson made his first trip to Bisbee about ten years ago, al- though he visited the west mere than thirty years ago. Much gnificance IS attached to his advent to the War Ten district, as the rise of the great Calumet & Ar zona min ng interests in Arizona dates from hs first visit e decade ago.
 Not long after that visit other northern capita ists followed, and the
 famous Ir:sh Mag shaft was soon be- ing worked by Captain Hoatson and his associates. The history of the
 growth of this camp since the launch ing of th.s great mining company is familiar to all It has done it's share In making Bisbee the greatest in4ning camp in the entire west.
 Few, perhaps, know of the colossal undertaking which Captain Hoatson
 had upon his hands when he launched
 the C. < A interests of this district
 Many believed that it was all smooth
 saihng. and that he began to take out millions as soon as the company
 stuck Q pick into the ground.
 But such was not the case. Indeed, the obstacles which confronted the company and the difficulties which were encountered, are only another
 evidence that no good thing comes to the individual without effort and re- peated trials. That the C. & A. made
 good and made rich returns to the
 original members of the company was
 the result of his dogged pertinacity and indomitable determination. It is probable that the directors of this company had as hard a time to place their properties upon a paying basis for the benefit of themselves and stockholders as any of the other great companies in the country.
 The growth of the c. & A. mining interests in the southwest is an ex- ] ample of what business application,
 with sufficient capital and a reason ] able experience in mining business
 can do. Without this it is not ven
 turing too much to say that the Titan pro gress of this organization would
 not have met with the great success which those who have signally failed
 are fond of calling luck"
 It would be very hard to estimate
 wdat tho C. & A. has done for it's stockholders in th.s district Many ] res. dents of Bisbee who are holding
 the'r stock today and who have been fortunate enough to draw repeated ! div dends came by them by the ca penditure of very small sums of ! money They have seen this stock
 rise from far below par until it reached almost the $20O mark and many have been sold. The company has gradually extended it's holdings until it ranks with the greatest on | the American cont nent.
 1 Thus it is that the first trip of Cap ! tain HoatsOn to the Warren district was of rare moment and meant much i toward the developme nt of Arizona s | great mining resources. He had tray ersed the west for many years. and his experiences had prepared him to ! rightly judge the poss bi'itfes of tn s | d str.ct, and the results have proved | that his judgment was correct. It is the sa"r' fees of such pioneers ! as Professor James Douglas and Cap tan James Hoatson which has meant
 so much to the people of the great ! southwest. They believed in the flu
 ture of this camp. and stated bcldly
 and without fear of contradict on
 that the ore was here and that money and development would dem- | onstrate this truth. They were will ! ing to stake their regulations as
 mining men upon this opinion. and they won. No greater monuments stand to any men in the mining world 1 today than the gigantic mining enter. | prises which stand to the energy and faith and business acumen and in
 domitable courage of Professor James
 Douglas and Captain HOatson in the ! Warren district
