 The gentlemen above mentioned recently spent three months in the
 Dragoon mining district, making re ports on several groups of copper pro- q
 perties in that district, and were very I favorably impressed with the entiro
 range and predict it will be placed
 among the copper producing sections
 of the new state, in the next few
 years. -7 i.a ulA 5-z5s--i 1i hs3o-95 | Frederick Hughes, the last mention 1 ed member of the engineers, had oc-
 casion to visit Tombstone in the early
 eighties and reported upon several i groups of mines in this district :. in

 that much mining. activity is manifest l throughout that district and the out
 look more than excellent for a pros
 rerous and thriving camp, an indica.
 tion of which is manifest in a de-
 rnand for real estate in that section-
 The same can be said with refer ence. to the Courtland section, with the. exception that at the prese 1t time very little real estate is chang ! ing hands. During the past year there were shipped to the smelters
 at Douglas and Fl Paso from the Courtland district a total number ot
 462 cars of ore, and the production
 of the Great Western Copper company
 tor that period was in the neighbor-
 hood of half million dollars It is
 expected that in. the very near future the Name GermanIa and Leadville mines. in that district will also re-
 sume operations, thereby more, than doubling the present annual output. J. E.. Pemberthy, superintendent of the Leonard Copper company at Glee- son, which is at present operating the famous Copper. Belle mine in that dis trict,.- the same being the Shannon Copper Company, of Clifton. WAS visitor in Tombs tone. yesterday, and :. :. stated that his company was doing it's
 usual amount of prospecting and de velopment upon it's property, and ship
 ping from two to three cars to the Shannon smelters daily where the same is used . for fiuxing purposes.
 Mr.. Pemberthy also has charge of the work being prosecuted on the Amster
 properties in the Patagonia district and is very much pleased with de
 elopments had up. to the present time. The Leonard Copper. company
 recently received a new hoist. and the
 same will be in operation at an early date. .< .-.-- zf. .--s.~-.J ;,-s s:i t a Made Rich Strike si What is regarded as one of the most important strikes of ore had in
 the. Turquoise mining district for
 some tme past is the opening of au
 extensive ledge on what is known as < the Hill Top mine near Gleeson, the 7 same being owned by Paul B. Warnc-
 ;ros, the well known miner and pion-
 eer banker e Tombstone. The ore was encountered at depth of ap- proximately $50 feet and carries high
 values in gold, silver and copper, the latter showing up very rich in azurite. The find is indeed considered a val uable one for. the district and Mr. Warnekros is contemplating arrange ments to open up the ledge and de- velop the same. s- ..~.
