ed member Of the engineers, had oc- casion to visit Tombstone in the early
 eighties and reported upon several 1 groups Of mines in this district. in cluding the now famous properties of the Tombstone Mining and Milling
 company, which proved to be one Of
 the foremost producers of the camp during it's palmy days.
 Gleeson IS Prospering
 The mining camp of Gleeson in the Dragoon mountains, is also reported to be enjoying a boom. not alone in
 building circles. but also in the min | ing industry. which has taken On quite a stride in the past few moni,ls Si Bryant, the pioneer mining man and capitalist of the Gleeson district. recently stated during his visit here. that much mining activity is manifest l throughout that district and the out 1 look more than excellent for a pros porous and thriving camp, an indica- ton of which is manifest in a de mand for real estate in that section. The same can be said with refer 1 eEce to the Courtland section, with l the exception that at the present time very little real estate is chang l ing hands. During the past year i there were shipped to the smelters 1 at Douglas and Fl Paso from the l Courtiand district total number of 452 cars of ore, and the production of the Great Western Copper company | for that period was in the neighbor-
 hood of half a million dollars. 1t is | expected that in the very near future 1 the Name, Germania and Leadvilie mines in that district will also re- 1 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 Tombstone yesterday. and 1 stated that his company was doing it's usual amount Of prospecting and de- | yelopment upon it's property, and ship 1 ping from two to three cars to the | shannon smelters daily. where the l same is used for fluxing purposes ] Mir Pemberthy also has charge of the work being prosecuted OF the Amster | properties in the Patagonia district ! and is very much pleased with fle- ! yelopments had up to the present time. The Leonard Copper company | recently received a new hoist, and the same will be in operation al an ear,y date.
 ! Made Rich Strike
 ! What is regarded as one of the most important strikes of ore had in l the Turquoise mining district for some time past is the opening of an l extensive ledge on what is known as the Hill Top mine near Gleeson, the same being owned by Paul B. Warne- kros, the well known miner and piOn- eer banker of Tom bstone. The ore was encountered at a depth Of ap proXimately $50 feet and carries high 1 values in gold, silver and copper, the
 latter showing up very rich in aZurite.
 The find is indeed considered a val ua6le one for the district, and MT
 Warnekros is contemplating arrange
 ments to open up tine ledge and de
 velop the same.
 Purchase DonneIIy Mines
 An important mining deal, involy-
 ing the sum of $50. 900, was recently
 consumated in the county, whereby
 J. L. Brown and F. w. Graham ac-
 quired from J. R. Hockey a valuable group of mines, consisting of 16O
 acres and located in the Huachuca
 mountains, about sixteen miles from
 Hereford. The property is one on
 which some four thousand feet of de
 velOpment work has already been pgo.
 secuted, and is known among the old
 timers of the county as the DOnnelly
 Group, from which it is said, some
 Si00,000 has already been extracted
 in high grade ore. The property is
 one of merit and has all the earmarks
 of developing into large producer in
 time to come.

H. McHenry. an old time mining man of Arizona. and pioneer of ths Tombstone district, and at one time

 Around Johnson Camp I From visitors in the county sea Y from Johnson, the copper camp of th' southern end of the Dragoon noun . tains, it is learned that a big reorgan ] ization of copper interests in that dis [ trict is about to be effected. It | - understood that a coalition of JohI s Gleeson, the miner and banker of Co ]. cbise county. and Robert MacKal 2 with A. C. Harmon Of Philadelphia | a about to be formed and the new or ganization to be capitalized at s5,000
 900. Messrs. Gleason and Mackal 2 have put thirty mining claims int e the new concern. the same to b' ? known as the Arizona United Minini '- company. This is indeed very en couraging news from this camp. am n (COntinued on Page 1Ol
