A visitho the many mining camps hroughov the Dragoon and Whet- stone maintains of Cochise county will reYel to the visitor much ac- uvity in dining circles, in fact. much more so han has been manifest for some tiuR past.
 Too mtch cannot be said about this fsmQs mineral district. and to fully dessibe the development work now in ppsress and do justice to its merits, wuld indeed take up much valuable lace.
 Througbut the mining districts Of Gleeson. eearoe. COnrtland and sur rounding lamps. properties are being put into iadiness for operations dur ing the ching winter, and much can be expecd from this section in the immediatt future.
 The Mineral Belt
 Emiueu mining engineers Of ncte, such as teorge Noble Todd and others. hie been frequently quoted to the chit that Arizona may justly claim ihd running north and south throughou her vast domain is one of the worlk greatest mineral belts. the same ktending from Globe south to Canan4 Mexico. from whence it takes a satheasterly course and con tinues fuher into the Republic of Mexico. at containing vast deposits of geld, ser, copper and lead.
 The colnr belt, it is claimed. holds in the cet-e. while gold, silver and lead are iund on either side of 1t. The theol of mining engineers is strengtheid by the fact that at Globe arepcated such mines as the old Domirn, Mama and many other ones. TOhe east of Globe are. the great mind of Morenci. while further south is tt Johnson camp, which will some day ecome an important factor in the eoer world, and east of the Johnson tarict are located the fam ous Mascoeopper mines.
 Then altg the DragOon mountains in a soutlfly direction we have the Bignon mss, and five miles further south arcetuated tine large copper deposits the Middlemarch and Black Diapnd companies FurthTr along the kme range of mountains, about tweA miles south. are nature 8 treasure alts. great bodies and de posits Of pper.
 The. p1aon range breaks in the yicinitt tGieescn Into asvstieD known atSuiphur Springs Valley, but the unfral belt is again encount- cred acro9his vast stretch of desert land, whitis rapidly being reclaim ed by mai settlers and transformed into a Gaen of Eden. The belt IS again takeip in the Mule mountains in which situated the famous and productivGopper camp of Bisbee, whiie sevtI miles further south in Mexico, whave the noted Cananea mines anaeighboTing districts.
 As pre1sly stated on each side or this gIt copper zone are found large goldnd silver deposits, and producing ines such as the Silver King. Fora, Vulture, Congress and Tombstondistricts are situated on the west t of this zone. while on the east Hound the now famous Fearce diact. which has produced many mills in gold and silver. In this distriGre located the Common wealth ms, Flourine and other meritoriouproperties.
 This sean of ATizona's mineral belt plays prominent part in the mining Wd and extends from Pearce Stance of about thirty miles. alo1which are located other troDerties, ,Fominent among which are the Hern. ! 'ttle Mary, Meade and Schee Mines
