In 1850 the property was bought by
~. Parker Whitney. of Boston. who
continued developments. He leased
the property to the Hearst estate in
1897. and in 1899 sold it TO a group of
Amalgamated Copper capitalists who
organized "a new corporation known
as the Santa Rita Mining company.
BY this time the Santa Rita field was
Wen known. The railroad had solved
transportation and the mines were ex-
tensively developed Yet. owing, no
doubt, to the inactivity of the copper
market at the time the new organi-
cation worked the property only in "a
desultory way by 1901 interest in
the property was practically lost In
the meantime the General Electric
company had become interested in
properties outlying the Santa Rita

thorough investigation of the Santa
Rita basin in 1905 Nothing came of
it, however and they also lost interest

In 1885, a. G Burrage, president of

ROMANCE AND HISTORY
CHINO COPPER MINES
WORKED BY ABoRIeINEs AND
sPANIARDs-NOW BIG COP
PER PRODUCER.

The story of the Santa Rita copper
mines at Santa Rita. n. NJ, now the
property of the Chino Copper com
pany. and one of the largest porphyry
copper producers in the world, makes
an interesting addition to the roman
tic history of the mining industry
says the Decorator. Shrouded in
mystery and legend, as well as being
a source of speculation as to how
much the abOrigines knew of mining
and the use of the red metal which
they evidently had long secured from
this field. the Santa Rita mine became
identified with white men about 1900
causing it to rank as the second old
est copper mine in the United states.
The earliest known important copper
operation within the territory now oc-
cupied by the United states was in
the Lake Superior district of Michi-
gan

Native Copper.

Early in 1900 an Apache chief,
grateful for some favor rendered, is
said to have impaired information of
this mine to Jose Manuel Carresco. a
Spanish officer in charge of an army
post in New Mexico The value of
the mine was Immediately recognized
by Carresco, who interested a banker
of wealth and influence, Don Fran
cisco Manuel Elguea, of Chihuahua,
and a concession was secured from
the Mexican government known as
the Santa Rita del Cobra grant, which
now forms part of the title of the pro-
perty. Elguea in 1904 made a con-
tract to supply the royal mint with
100000 mule loads" (prObably 1000,
600 pounds) of copper annually and
began working the mines in the most
primitive manner with cheap prison
labor obtained from the Mexican gov
eminent. The richest parts of the
ore were extracted in the early days,
and contained, according to reports
large masses of native metal.
The withdrawing of the Mexican
troops IN the early part Vi INC hiAO
teenth century and the depredations
of the Apaches caused the mines to
be worked only intermittently, but
good profits were generally realized.
The first American to visit the mines
was James Pattie, a trapper and eX-
plorer. He leased it for $1,000 a year
and later while trying to buy the
property, he was made bankrupt by
entrusting his entire fortune of $780,
900 in gold to a dishonest agent who
promptly left the country. This hap
pened in 1927.
Clear Up Cloudy Title.
The mines continued their intermit-
tent operation under various leases
until 1873, when a man by the name
of Hayes endeavored to obtain title
without regard to the Elguea heirs.
Two attempts were made, but both
were decided against him by the Unit
ed states commissioners. acting under

WEEKS GRANTS PERMIT
FOR MAINS ON BRIDGE
Washington Power and Light Com
panies to Extend Services
Across River.

Secretary Weeks has granted per-
mits to the Potomac Electric Power
Company and the Chesapeake and

stall wires and to the Georgetown
Gas Light Company to extend their
services across the new Georgetown
bridge. The cables and the gas
mains will be placed in tunnels left

meath the upper deck and will be out
of sight entirely. That arrangement
was made to meet Secretary Weeks
requirement that the necessary in
stallation OF cables and mains should
have no disfiguring effect on the
architecture of the structure. Water
mains are to be similarly installed in
the deck bridge tunnels for the ben
eft of the Arlington and Fort Myer
reservations. The act of May 18,
1916, authorizing the construction of
the bridge also authorized the ex-
tension OF water and gas mains and
wire cables across the bridge under
regulations as to fees, etc, establish

In each case the Secretary of War
fixed the annual rental on the basis
of per cent of the actual saving
effected by each corporation in using
the, bridge structure for crossing the
river, as compared with what IL

bed. AS a consequence, the govern
ment will receive $50 year from the
Georgetown Gas Light Company and
proportionate amount from each of

MYSTER|OUSLY MISSING
Parents Fear Harwood L. Jones
May Have Been Spirited
Away in Automobile.

Col. W. S. Jones, L. s. A., and Mrs.

have asked the police to locate their
son, Harwood L. Jones, sixteen years
old. who left home yesterday morning

appeared at the Jones residence yester-
day afternoon and handed the missing
boys mother tho books her son had
taken from home in the morning.
Mrs. Jones. thinking the young man
was merely handing her books he had
borrowed. suspected nothing until she
discovered her boys lunch with the
books. She hurried to the door to call
10 the visitor, but he was too far away
70 hear her call. He had previously
stated he had found" the books in his
car Inquiry at the school revealed the
boy had not attended his classes.
Fear Possible kidnapping.
Col. and Mrs. Jones fear something
serious may have happened to their
son. 1t is deemed possible that he
boarded an automobile TO get a lift
after leaving his father and was
spirited away.
1t Is the first time the young man
has been away from home without
the knowledge and consent of his
parents. He Is an earnest worker in
fhe Chevy Chase Episcopal Church,
