 WINNING MUCH 7 ATTENTION
Heretofore Unheralded, This Mining District Is Nosing Its Way Into Ranks of Live Arizona Camps.

The Twin Buttes Mining District is rapidly nearing tha. stage where it will be regarded as one of the great copper producing camps of the Southwest. Away from Arizona it has hitherto been but little heard of. and even until quite recent date was To- cally only regarded as the home of a few small leasers who from time to time made irregular shipments of ore to the custom shelter at Fl Paso and Douglas.
 Today the camp in every sense of the word is live camp. and q num- Der of mines are shipping high grade ore to Fl Paso and elsewhere for treatment.
 To Mir. Bush. a Butte miner. much of this activity is due. With a con- fidence born of long experience in mining the red metal, he first ac- stirred the Minnie claim. and In short time took out several hundred thousand dollars. Then he acquired other claims. among them the well known Glance where the previous owner had left off work only a few feet from great ore body. MT. Bush's shipments of ore run as high as s75.000 per month. or at the rate of s9OO,0O0 per year. and they could be increased were the facilities for smelling the ores improved.
 !. But the operations of Mir. Bush are not the only ones which are attracting the attention of the mining world. The Guggenheims are systematically developing some valuable property. there is ore.
 and where the Guggenheims are
 Among the many advantages which are possessed by the district is the fact thath a branch of the Southern Pacific railroad runs right into the heart of it. This means much to any camp as those who are familiar with mining conditions are well aware. The topography of the country raises no obstacle to the prompt dispatch of ore to the railroad. and there are no hindrances to the most economical handling of all mining operation in consequence.
 Differing somewhat in character from the mines jus treferred to. but of immense importance to the Coun- ty of Pima, and particularly to the Twin Buttes Mining District, is the Company's property four miles from development of the Magnate Copper the town of Twin Buttes. This prop erty is under the direct supervision of MT. Walter Harvey Weed. one of the most eminent geologists of the day. Under his instructions Mir. Her bert Shotwell, the engineer in charge. is carrying on the work with results that may be regarded as flattering.
 The Magnate Copper Company's holdings are extensive. comprising over five hundred acres of mineral ized territory. A large portion of this ground has. to quote MT. Weed. "the distinguishing characteristics of a disseminated copper deposit. a so- called porphyry copper. cannot es- timate the copper content or thickness of the deposit, these factors being only determinable by drilling. or un- derground exploration. but the evi- dence disclosed by the shafts on the property shows that deposit of this character exists"
 The Magnate Copper Company has purchased churn drills for the work of exploration. as suggested by Mir. Weed, and they will be operated energetically.
 With the New Cornelia almost at the point of production. and Magnate rapidly showing it's merit. there is reason to regard 1917 as a banner year for Pima County, and Twin Buttes as a camp with wonderful pos abilities
