 In the Tungsten Fields.
 The past few weeks have seen a material advancement in the number of tons of this sort of metal that is being shipped from here and from Dragoon which is the most convent ent place. The location of hundreds of acres of placer ground has been the largest form Of development. Whole sections of land have been talk en up by parties who are carrying on systematic placer operations Tn the search of the metal. In every gulch on all sides of the Little Dragoons may be found men at work with all sorts of machines in collecting the particles of tungsten. Many are working with pans and are making good wages. while others are using rockers and jigs. There are estimated to be at the present time in this locality no less than five hundred en- gagged in getting out this class of metal, while the price has fallen about S10 unit during the past week there has been no stopping of the work and many. new outfits are getting ready, dsily.sto commence work.

 The fever has struck almost every one in this locality and ranchers who have never paid any attention to mir ing are now looking over their fields and pastures and are installing placer machines. Among the last to join the procession is Dave Adams, the pioneer of the Texas canyon country and the well known telephone man.
 The Johnson-Dragoon district is at the present time leading all other parts of Arizona in the production of tungsten and the annual shipments will amount to several million dollars if the present price keeps up. A num- Der of the residents who have held on a long time to their properties are now meeting with their rewards and several of them will have massed a fortune before many months.
