Some Facts and Figures
of lnt3rost.
C''iii i)iu,:7 from Ln.sf WtrfiH stliiy.
"Do you know iinvtliin!! concern
ing the mini's Mr. Ucssinir 1ms oli
tiiiiicil ? AVluit do yon think of them
I anil iiis project."
"I am well acquiiintcil wilh Mr.
Ilcssiag's )roperty. It is rencr;UH
conceded to he it line one. I think he
has a big tiling, at least present indi
cations promise as much. One good
point in its favor is Unit the original
owners are first class miners anil
prospectors, and have signitied their
prell'ercuce to receive stock ia the
company for their mines. Another
is that he has already s identitied
himself with the interests of the
Territ.iry and Globe District, that I
am confident that, viewing him
in the liirht of a representative' man,
they will do ail they can to insure
the success of his project, and, rather
tha'i see him seller from failure
through f.ny untoward circumstan
ces, they will do all in their power
to prev.-nt it. There are some promin
ent mining men now hero who know
all about liis property, anil I know,
of not one but what has cordially in
dorsed the property and consider his
project one of merit and excellence,
deserving of public confidence. Tins
is flattering, coming from disinter
ested parties. Mr. Ilessing exhibited
wonderful push, enterprise, and en
durance, during his visit, to an ex
tent remarked upon by all."
"Is Globe the only mining district
of importance in the Territory?
AVhat portion do you consider has
the best mines?"
"Globe is by no means the only
one. It is considered, though, to
have the best location and facilities,
the best developed, and possessed of
a greater number of mines, with
higher grade ores. There are other
district showing larger bodies of ore,
but of a compai atively lower grade.
1'ina! county, in which Globe is situ
ated, is by far the richest in tho terri
tory. Last year it shipped some
1,200,000 of bullion by Wells, Far-o
A; C'o.'s express. IJeside this, lare
(Uantities have been shipped by
private hands, an in addition hun
dreds of tons of concentrations have
been shipped to San Francisc. The
whole territory of Montana in the
same time only shipped $3,000,000 in
bullion. Globe district itself is some
ten miles wide by twenty-three in
length, and has nearly W.O'i'i loca
tions. Such mines as the Silver King
having a market value of .s:i.OOO,000 ;
the Stonewall Jackson, 7.j0000; the
Mexican, sjoOO.OOO ; the McMorris,
$250,000; the Cox tt Coplin, sGO.OOO;
and the Isabella and Julius proper
ties are to bs found hi this district
As to what portion I consider the
best, would be rather difficult to an
swer. You must know that Arizona
is an empire in extent. Its mining
resources are incalculable. It is
crossed and recrossed by mountains
larely mineral in their character
IJut comparative few districts have j
been opened up. Mines and districts j
havo to a great extent certain individ
ualities of their own. In the north
and west are the famous Fradshaw,
Signal and Castle Dome, Silver and
other districts which have obtained
note from such mines as the McCrack
en. Vulture, Peck, Tiptop, Ajo and
others of equal note, which are stars
of the first magnitude, around which
cluster numerous smaller satellites,
so it is with these mines above men
tioned in (iiobe; the Chief and Saca
tiine mines in the same county, and
the immens:; properties in the Tomb-j-toiie,
Santa llitas and other districts
further south. The districts recently
discovered in the
.Mountains are wort!
Santa Catalina j
: of special note. !

" Agriculture and grazing special
ly. In Ihc river v.-ilicys are large
tracts which will yield fine crops of
temperate and firai tropir products.
I do not. think they will produce
more than will be necessary forborne
consumption. In the foot-hills a nil
mountain valleys are the grazing
lands, capable of profitablysustuiiiing
large herds of cattle, sheep etc. The
mountains are heavily timbered with
pine, oak, hemlock and other timber.
AVhen I speak of Arizona's mineral
resources, the immense mines of co
per, coal, iron, lead, etc., areot to bn
forgotten."
" How do you like Arizona as a
place to live ':"
" From niymvn experience, I must
say that I like it very much. There
is a peculiar fascination and inde
pendence about life in Arizon not to
bs found elsewhere. The climate is
magnificent, with the exception of
June and July, when the heat is in
suffcrable and intense. The climate
is so dry though, that the heat does
not so seriously affect one as a much
lower degree would here. The living
is comparatively good and cheap.
When capital is further interested
there and the consequent develop.
ments begun, there will be a vast
field for every variety of laimn en
terprise, and Arizona will be capahlo
of sustaining a dense population. I
am glad to see the interest aroused
here by Mr. llessing's letters untl tho
frequent interviews the papers arc
freely publishing, and liopj to see the
present excitement continue."
" AVcll, I don't think the present
excitement will amount to much or
be lasting in its effects. As regards
Chicago, it is more in the nature of
a flurry than anything else. You
see Chicagoans have suffered so
much in the past through wildcat
investments that they are wary anil
distrustful."
" To be sure, but that is not an un
answerable objection. If I am not
misinformed, the business world suf
fers from ovor 00 per cent, failures,
and our most prominent capitalist!
are bankrupted. I don't believe that
the failures in mining enterprises ob
tain any such high average. More
over, when mining enterprises do pay
the returns from such are of a vastly
more rapid and colossal nature thau
in any other business. You will find
that, with a comparatively small
number of wild-cat schemes, the nu
merous failures in otherwise legiti
mate mining enterprises cau !
traced entirely to incompetency, ig
norance and mismanagement. I con.
sider mining investments everyway,
as legitimate a business as any other,
if it is conducted on business princi
ples." " Perhaps, but nt any rate Chicago
capital is invested in Leadville."
" Yes, I know, but then that is not
so large an amount. Besides, it only
shows that there is capital here await
ing such investments. "Why, St.
Louis has now more money invested
in Arizona than all that lias been in
vested in Leadville. I believe it is
essential that St. Louis and Chicago
c-ipital should lie invested in Arizona,
it will be repaid a hundred fold. Ari
zona is as much tributary to these
points as Xevada and the Pacific
Coast Territories are to San Francis
co. Her machiney, the products of
the manufactories and staple prod
ucts of these points, will be obtained
here. In return, her products will
seek a market at these points. IIe..l-
jzm:r this f;ict St. Louis is evidently
investing her capital and seeking to
control this trade.
" Well, it is time for me to go now
