 Size of the District
 The Winifred Mining district is
 about three miles wide by five miles
 long, possibly larger. Aside from r T
 properties mentioned are the Williams
 properties, Turner properties Gelse
 properties, Parker properties and a
 number of others, all of which have
 developed substantial bodies of ore
 Nothing remains for the complete sue
 cess of this district except the active
 participation of capital in it's develop
 ment It is a district practically with
 out risk. The ore bodies are so strong
 and regular and the results so uniform l tldt IL pioDdpiy eAcelS III these Tea =
