Cochise county is A mineral emnire ID itself and Johnson is only one of me bright galaxy of star copper camps destined to figure in her red crown when the camp "gcts rigst down, to business"
 Cortland Camp
 Al Cortland, in southern Coebise county, and only thirty.Gve miles from Bisbee and Douglas. a new cop. per camp which appears to be one of the first order has been opened up and Fairly proved by the Copper Queen and the Calumet of Ariona our two strongest companies. This, if the price or copper furnishes sufficient incent. i've, can be brought into important production m six to twelve months.
 In the Caluro range, in Pinal coun. ty. twelve miles east of the San Pc dro river and the old gold camp of Mammoth, in the Copper Creek dis. trict, very large and rich deposit of copper has been opened by the Calu. met and Arizona company of Bisbec and the Sibley company of Tucson.
 This is at present remote from trans portation and lies in difficult coun. try to open, but its value is very well proved, and it can be brought in to important production within twen. " or twenty-five months or less by building about thirty miles of rail. road.
 Along the north side of the Gila River in the extreme lower point of Gila county and the eastern edge of Pinal county, in the London range, a district of the very first order is open ing up. l call it the London Kelvin district. It contains such well known copper properties as the Ray Consoli dated and the Kelvin Calumet, at Ray on Mineral Creek (both already partly financed and opcrating). The Ray Consolidated contains stupcndou' deposit of copper sulphidcs similar t' the great Miami property, twenty miles north, which at present time oc cupics the public's eye in copper cir cles. IL is operated by the Salt Lake people, who have made such pnenom enal success in operating the Uta' Copper, near Salt Lake, where the! are milling 5000 tons day and stil expanding the enterprise. The Ra! deposit. like that in Utah, is low grade milling proposition and can fur nish equally as large tonnage.
 East of Ray, in the London range but closer to the Gila River and th railroad. are the London Arizona an the Christmas properties. The latte was producing in l906 and 1907, bu closed down at the time of the panic
 In Prospect stage
 The London Arizona is still strlcu in the prospect stage and is not ye financed for extensive operations --o wasn't the last knew. IL was the point of closing very advantageor arrangements for all the capital nee' ed last year. but the drastic panic lg07 knocked tho plans. It is n maj niRcent copper property in the pro pect state, lying its whole leng' 1.-two full miles) in tGe low Londo ronge within 5000 feet of the Gl River and the Phoenix & Eastern rai . road. It's geological structure ana i mineral character are continuous ar
 identical with the Christmas groun s where the ore exposures are very lari
