year that Pinal county was staked off
and it was in this year that the Silver
King mine was discovered The Silver
King brought thousands of men into
the district and created period of
prosperity which endured for many
years. on the first page of the min
ing record of Pinal county in the court
house at Florence are inscribed two
potential legends. One of them rec
ords the location of the Silver King
mining claim, March 20, 1875, and the
other is the Hub mining claim, recorded
at 10 o'clock the morning of the same
day. The Silver King was recorded at
u o'clock noon. The Silver King be-
came one of the greatest silver pro-
ducers of the world and the Hub claim
is now principal among the group of
the Magma Copper company, one of the
great producers of the present.
At present there are two large min
ing district in the county. One is the
Pioneer district The Pioneer district
lies on the western slope of the Pinal
range, about seventy miles east of
Phoenix and about thirty miles north
of Florence. The Magma mine is To-
Gated at the mouth of Queen Creek,
the district extending for about ten
miles on either side.
The other district is that of Ray The
Ray district lies on the south slope of
Pinal range. about eighteen miles from
the Pioneer district, and here is To-
Gated the famous Ray Consolidated
properties, from which has been de-
veloped an enormous body of low
grade copper ore with over 100000
tons in sight.
About thirty miles to the south of
Ray is situated the Mammoth mine,
being worked by Epes Randolph and
associates. The mine produces gold
and silver principally. Oracle, near
Mammoth, has promising outlook for

been located at Oracle The western

is known as Florence, the present coun-
ty seat of Pinal county The COM
pany had contracts with the govern
ment for the handling of supplies. It
also did a large business with the In
dams settled along the river, and with
prospectors and others.
A short time afterward a man named
Collinwood established a small store
here and it was not long before lively
town began to grow. 1t was named
Florence.
The first prospecting in the region
was done by the pioneer Whitlock. He
discovered traces of mineral forma-
ton near his ranch and occasionally
prOspected in the hills, following the
lead. 1t is recorded that he hauled
several loads of high grade ore over
the desert to Yuma, where it finally
found transportation to the smelter in
Swansea.
Outlaws Flourish
The early days were not without
their thrills. A short distance from
Florence there sprung up an outlaw
dwelling place of the notorious outlaw
leader Manuel Reyes and his band of
desperadoes who had come into the
Pinal country from Mexico, where
their deeds of robbery and rapine had
made it too dangerous for them to
longer remain. They committed all
kinds of depredations among the timid
Indian settlers of the ella country and
also among the peaceful whites. until
life was a balance with death about
half the time. Miners and ranchers
alike worked with arms always with
them.
Adamsville had several saloons and
two stores. Many are the tales of
orgies conducted by these desperadoes
at the settlement. a number of rene
gade white men joined the Mexican
band of cut threats.
Reyes Attacked BY Settlers

but several of them were killed in a
battle with the Indians and the others
fled from the country. But this was
the beginning of mining, nevertheless.
There We're others who would dare
also, and some of them would cVentu-

was written in the book of fate and mad
to come to pass.
Army Subdues Apaches
So many depredations had been com
mitted by the Apaches among the pio-
neer settlers and prospectors thats the
government decided the army was
needed in Arizona. Headed by Miles.
Crook and Stoneman the army came
forth. a picket post was established
at what is now known as Pinal, under
the shadow of lone mountain. and
was known as Picket Post. This post
was established in 1871. The post was
at the mouth of Queen Creek.
From this point a road was con-
structed to the higher points in the
Pinals for the transportation of SOL
diers and supplies during the cam
paign against the Indians. The road
was a fine piece of engineering, hued
out of solid rock in numerous places
The road is in use today. 1t is heavily
traversed by travellers between Globe
and Superior and Ray The road is
known as Stoneman's grade
Up until the coming of the army
the country was still part of Pima
county. Then a line was run, survey
ors stalking off that portion to the north
which was named Pinal county. The
county seat was established at Flor

Hieroglyphics

A number of rocks, walls as well as
loose rocks, bearing hieroglyphics, or
pictures, are found in different direc-
tons from Phoenix. The nearest pic
ture rocks are found in the Salt River
range on the south side of the valley.
They are about six miles from Phoe-
nix. Go south on Central avenue until
reaching the Western canal, and turn
east or left. Cross the canal to the
south side at the first bride. About
two miles from Central avenue the
hills are broken with narrow washed
gullies opening devious climbing
passageway into the hills. Along the
walls of many of these small canyons
are found a number of areas where the
ricks are covered with figures and
tokens. Some signs are very faint, but
with careful search a great many can
be discovered.

Walker of California
After Whitlock and his family ar
rived IN the ella country 1t was not
long before John d. Walker entered
from California. He soon became a
power among the Indians and was
made an Indian agent for the govern
ment. Walker did much prospecting,
especially in the Casa Grande region
where he discovered and worked the
Vokel mine, producing thousands OF
tons of high grade ore and netting a
large return
All this happened before the advent
of 1870. The sixties were years of a
preparatory nature. The big things
were to follow. The first determined
effort to mine on a comprehensive
scale began in 1870 when a party d
Californians, six in number. reached
Florence. They turned eastward, pass

So far as is known the country now
known as Pinal county was first set
tied by the white race in the early
sixties, when a man named Whitlaw,
and his family, after hard, dangerous
journey with team from Yuma came
upon the ella river one night and
camped. Later Whitlaw settled at
Queen Creek, near what is now known
as Superior, twenty miles from the
ella river.
Pinal county lies in the south CEN
trail part of Arizona and covers an
area of $3.50 square miles. The north
ern half of the county is extremely
rugged and mountainous. A grand
panorama of towering peaks sweeping
valley and silent desert unfold to the
traveller. Here are the many treasures
of the earth, the most of them either
undiscovered or undeveloped by man.
1t is vast region awaiting the pros
pectOr and mine operator.
The southern half of Pinal is prin
Cipaliy desert, although here and there
nature has reared peaks and buttes as
sentinels to the wayfarer south of the
ella river. The river in measure di-
vides the mountains of the north from
the desert of the south.
Mines In the North
In the northern part of the county
the broken ridges and outcrOppings of
the great Pinal mountains signal a
welcome to the miner, for it is here
that the most of the development in
Pinal county has been undertaken.
Here has been developed the producers
of the past and present. The Silver
King mine. famous forty years ago as
a star producer, is here situated. 1t
was one of the worlds greatest silver
mines.
Here is located the Ray Consolidated
Copper company operating Jackling's

sidered one of the big copper mines of

Greenlee, next to the smallest county
in Arizona, was formerly a part of
Graham county 1t is bounded on the
north by Apache county, on the east
by New Mexico on the south by Co

west by Graham county.
The ella river flows through the
county. 1t is also traversed by the
San Francisco and the Blue rivers.
There is some agricultural land along
the rivers, but the county is mostly
mining.
The northern part of the county is
comprised in the Apache national for

ITALIAN premier HAS HARD TASK

Orlando, the new Italian premier,
is by no means the strongest man in
the country. His cabinet record as
minister of the interior was not reas-
surfing from the point Of view of those
who want to subordinate everything
to the winning of the war. He did not
handle the food supply situation with
very great success, and he lacked force
in dealing with pacifsts, socialists, and
the German propagandists.
But at the present moment there
is all the reinsurance that Is needed
in the fact that Sonnino is to stay In
the cabinet as minister Of foreign af'
fairs. Sonnino is the strongest man
in Italy and the most inflexible. He
is for everything that will make for
success for the armies and bitterly
opposed to anything that looks to a
discontinuance Of the fighting until
Germany and Austria are defeated.
He would not stay in the new Or
