COCHISE COUNTY MINING AHEAD OF RECORD
 IN YEARS
That There Is More Mining in Dear Old COChiSe' Than for Years Is Statement of Mining Correspondent.
(By A. w. Howel

lBy X. w. HOWe.)
 At the present time there is more being done in the wry of mining in all parts of Cochise County than there has been for a number of years. From the Huachuca Mountains. on the south to the Gaaloros and Yellowstone dis trict on the north. and from the Whet- stone on the west to the Chircahuas and the Paradise district on the east, the miners pick is heard, There is hardly 8 mountain range or a rolling hill within the boundary lines of Dear old Cochise' but what rings with the sound of the pick or the report of the blast. Ore is being shipped, assess l ment work is being completed and de- yelopment work being prosecuted.
 Beginning at the southern end or the county and moving along the line of the Huachucas there is found in the vicinity of Ash Canyon a number of miners at work taking out placer gold and developing small lodges of gold bearing quartz This district has been known to carry gold values and many large nuggets have been taken out Of the various holdings. The mother vein or ledge. has never been discov- cred but recent developments on ledge at the head of the canyon be- gin to look as though 1t had been lo- cated. In the same locality there are alec few men at work on copper holdings.
 In Miller canyon there are others at work. George Dunn is still at work on his lead property and is making an excellent showing In the Prince ton camp. Henry Hamburg has a small , force of men at work doing the an- nual assessment work on that group and some development work Henry Magne and his associates are at work in Carr Canyon and have opened up one or two small bodies of a good grade Of gold ore besides a good cop per prspect
 The old Salvation Army Copper camp is now in the hands of Harry Reese and his associates and they are at work taking out considerable high grade copper ore which they are get ting ready to ship to the smelters Alfred Bonds and others are at work near this locality and are also getting ready to ship. The Huachucas at the present time are making better showing of production than for a num- Der of years past
 In The Whetstones
 Moving along the line of the Hua- chucas toward the north and west, the Whetstones and the vicinity of Mustang Gap are encountered Here | it is found that there is being develop ed another copper camp that promises to become a regular producer that will add materially to the production of | the red metal in the county Barney Hampsted and John Akard, both of i Bisbee, have a bond and option on the Norlega Group of Slime GaIen and have already run a teunnel into the mountain to strike the ledge and have | opened up in the face Of the drift ] a four-foot sctreak of high grade car | bonate ore and now have out several carloads which will be shipped to Douglas within the next few weeks. They are greatly pleased with their prospects and expect to be able to more than take care of their bond and option before the time expires.
 The Larrieu Brothers and Jake Trowbrdge have a few men at work on their group and in one of the drifts have opened up a large body of sul- phide ore the extent of which has not as yet been determined The face and
 both sides of the drift will be contin- ued to determine just how large the
 body is. No shipments have been
 made as yet but it is expected that carload as a sample will be shipped to Douglas soon.
 Slime Gallen, the pioneer of the dis
 trict, besides having bonded the Nor
 iega Group, has about closed a deal
 with Tucson people for taking over
 the Mascot and Nevada group which
 are jointly owned by him and M. New.
 man. of the Fair store in Bisbee. The
 option calls for the payment of $20, 900. Gallen also has other properties
 in tho district on which he is doing
 considerable work It is through his efforts that the district has been brought to the front and will add to
 the increasing copper production Of the county
