PARADISE IS BETTER THAN
 SOUTHLAND
Honestly Expressed Opinion of a Booster From Former Town-Mining Notes of in- tereSt From That District
Paradise Rocord.)

l fBaradiSe RccOrd.) If you want to likc the Par6dist 1 district better than you already do see the Courtland district
 Thus spoke Geo. A. Walker on his return from Cogrtl1nd last week. Mi Walker has been a resident Of this place for about ten years, and he has l Jcen successful here both in mining and in business. He does not believe
 nor practice knocking nor ezagger aiing-he describes things as he sees ] hem. and his word Is considered a. good as his bond We are therefore dad 10 present Gis opinion or tht | Courtland district and his idea of a
 rue comparison Of that district with this.
 Ia hls opinion they are as nearly alike as two districts could well be but he thinks the Paradise district Is the more promising of the two. The formations on the properties l visit ed,' said Mr. Walker, are lime and quSrtzite, as on numerous properties acre. and the formations seem to me 10 be identically the same in the two districts. So far as l was able to as certain. the Couriland ore avera ages from 1 to per cent coppcr-much lower than the average SO far obtain ing in the Paradise district.
 There are four companies Operat- ing there, the Copper queen, the C. & A., the Great Western. ana the Lead vile. whose shafts are all close to- gether. All these ere taking out ore, which is being thrown on the dump. awaiting completion of the railroads now under construction.
 The Courtland cistrict Is all right and a tremendous boom that 1t does one good to see, Is on there nov."
 MT. Walker believes that tho com irg out of Courtland, which. besides having formations similar to those ob- yaining here. is not more than S5 or 70 miles distant from Paradise, will vastly benefit this district.
 Williams.
 J. s. Williams is engaged at work on his group of claims on lower Fur key creek. adjoining the Scaniand. This property, which is situated in the foothin belt, is considered by all who have seen it very promising. II 1 has some excellent shoWings for the amount of work done IL adioins the Cochise, as well as the Scanland. the former property being north and west of the Williams, and the latter south and east Of 1t.
 Bradshaw.
 Lewis Bradshaw is continuing tc drive the tunnel toward the ledge on his property adjoining the Double Sun set This tunnel. now under cover fif. teen feet, is altogether 20 feet in length, and it Is thought probable that the ledge will be reached soon, and that shipping ore win be encountered there. That portion of the district up to and including tEs Hilltop and the Chris Grauer properties, is not so weli known or so frequently heard from as other portions of the district. owing 70 it's comparative iuaccessibility, but It possesses merit and will in time make itself known, nevertheless.
 Paradise Locals.
 Corson Morrow returned Monday from Sylvanite, N. M.. where he had been visiting his father, ". K. Aor- row. for several weeks.
 Mir. and Mrs. John W. Costln have moved from the Hali settlement into the Tom Hawkins house in town, and will make their home here in the tu- ture. Mir Costin has purchased the Hawkins place.
 Invitations are out for a grand SJ. Valentines ball at ROdeo on the night of Friday. the 12th inst. A number cf Paradise people were invited. and some of them are making preparations 10 attend.
 A dance was given Tn the Cham berlain hall Saturday night. The at tendance was unusually good, and those present reported having had a very pleasant time. Supper was served at the hotel. and then dancing was continued for a while.
 T. P. Hawkins, formerly q resident of this place where he was merchant and postmaster, Is not pleased with Oklahoma, his present home, and will return to Arizona after tEe first or March. He expects to engage in the mercantile business somewhere in the county. it is understood. Tom says he will never leave Arizona again.
 Friends of Frank and Will Hawkins will be- pleased to learn that they are now in possession oT some Of the choicest lots in the McFate tOwnsite lat Courtland, and that 1t Is their in- teBtion 10 engage n some kind of bus mess there. as they are much pleased with the new camp. They have here Ia host of friends who wish them sue cess in their present undertaking
