PARISH RETURNS
FROM SONORA
Well Known Mining Mine Returns
From Old Starting Grounds in
Mexico.

Returning from Sonora, and that
part OF Sonora where he went thirty
two years ago as prospector, says
the Douglas International. w. A. Far
ish, the well-known mining engineer,
and the father of w A. Parish of
the United States Reclamation Ser
vice returned To Arizona early in
the week from the FL Globo mine,
where he had been for three weeks
accompanied by Mrs. Parish. They
left for FL PasO. and from there Mr..
Fash will very probably go into Mon
tana. where he has some mine examin-
alton work to do.
Mr. Parish went to Fl Globo for the
purpose of making an examination Of
that property and other properties in
the NacOzari district.
Mr.. Parish was infested in the
NacoZari district first in 1879, when
he went into that country and pros
pected under the most adverse con-
ditions. At that time only an Ameri-
can could be found here and there
and the country was in its native state
with the inhabitants without anything
for sustenance expect that which they
produced themselves. Mr. Parish yes
terday told of many interesting eX-
periences he had during those days
long ago in Mexico He said then
the MeXicans had no dishes and had
to eat from a doubled up tortilla,
which answered for spoons, beans be-
ing almost the sole diet. Apache In
dams were thick in that part Of So
nora at that time and one had to

greatest caution doing all the travel
ing at night.
After remaining in that country for
several years. Parish sold the poperty
which he had secured and partially
developed, including what is now a
portion of the holdings of the Mocte-
yuma Copper in the NacoZari district
to some New Jersey people. To these
people he also sold the old San Juan
Batiste property, which is between
Cumpas and Moctezuma.
c. Meyer Zulick, afterwards gov
ernor of Arizona during the first ad-
ministration of Grover Cleveland. was
sent out from New Jersey to take
charge of the property. Zulick came
near losing his life at Nacozari He
spent all the money which had been
given him by the company, and eX-
pecting more when required but this
did not materialiZe, and on one payday
crowd of the miners cornered Zu-
lick in his office and threatened to
Kill him if he did not make settlement
with them for work done. Zulick saw
the serious condition that confronted
him and explained that tn company

had funds of his own i'm the bank at
Tombstone and he gave each a check
for the amount due on a bank where
he had not a cent and that night he
beat it, for the line and never re-
turned to Mexico.
Afterwards the New Jersey people
sold the Nacozari property to the
Guggenh-ims. who later sold il with
the Pilares mine which they them
selves had denounced, TO the Phelps
Dodge people. who have developed
one of the greatest copper mines in
the world.
Mr. Parish says that while the
mineral development of that country
has been slow, il has already devel-
oped two Of the great mines of the
world-the Pilares and the FL Tigre
and he expects to see several other
big properties opened up in that
country and many little ones. He
expects to see many good gold and
silver producing mines come into ac-
ton in the NacOZari district during the
next few years. which will add greatly
to the business and Importance of
Douglas. which he said he expected
to rival any city in Arizona, as indeed
