Conclusion of this Inter
esting Article.
CHARACTER OF THE COU7CTKT.
The district is situated on gradu
ally rising ground separated by
smnll ravines, which come together
at the point, where Hip c-amp is situ
ated. The. peaks of the mountains
are from 300 to C0i) feet above the
level of the cauip The sides arc
generally smooth, with openings and
are covered with grama grass, giving
excellent pasture. Trees of goodsiie
are also scattered over the sides of
.the mountains. At a short distance
the summits of the larger mountains
are eovered with thickets, principally
oak, and some piue. All the canyons
contain ruunins streams of water and
according to my experience, having
made my visit at the close of an ex
traordinary dry season, I am com
pelled to believe that ths.' water here
will never fail. Many fine sites for
mills may ho found in the valleys.
The character of the rock is granite
and porpl)3-ry. It generally has a
covering of conglomerate of porphyry
extending to different depths in the
different mountains. On the eastern
side of the ridge which divides the
Planchas, is a thick ledge of volcanic
basalt over the conglomerate, but this
disappears on the western side, and is
not found in the vicinity of the mines.
Veins are scattered in many places in
the district showing in every case
good metal. The general direction
of the veins or Iedge3, is nearly mag
netic K. E. to S. W. The first mine
I examined was the Jlegia or Raous
set, as it is at present called. This
mine was opened in 13T1 by Don Mo
desto Borquez and was worked by
him for one year. It is situated in
an apex of the mountains above and
to the north of the camp, a number
of excavations have been made and
quantities of metal taken from each.
The metal is found in the conglom
erate and appears to be in a series of
continued veins, each from two to
five fed wide, very close together
and covering the entire surface of the
hill. .
THE MASSER OP WORKING.
The work is, for the greater part,
simple cuts. Seven of these are on
the "western slope of the hill and cov
er a length of 250 feet by 75 feet wide
The greatest depth at present is ajbout
25 feet. Their elevation is from 100
to 275 feet above the camp, and all
show metal in the sides and bottom.
Five hundred feet to the east of cut
No. 4, is another excavation which
shows good results. This is a super
ficial cut ia the hill, 100 feet from the
lines of the other excavations freely
showing the metal and the conglom
erate.
Later at Tucson, I fortunately met
Senor Borquez who informed me that
in the above excavation, he had iu
1871 worked to a depth of 45 varas
and reduced the metal in his hacien
da, which still exists. At the bottom
he found very rich ore and in large
quantities, that in fact you can find
the metal almost anywhere, the whole
HILL BEING OSE MASS OP MINERAL.
And wherever the surface was remov
ed, the metal was found. This ap
peared to me to be the actual truth,
as a large portion of the metal was
found by Mexicans, who starch for
this residue and work it in arastras.
They have been engaged in this for
months, working in 24 hours, 000
pounds. After pulverizing it was
amalgamated according to the Patio
process, producing from ?9 to 11 to
the cargo, or at the rate of $80 to the
ton. The rock was all porphyry, con
taining principally bromides and
chlorides of silver, without gold or
other valuable mineral. The miuers
themselves do not believe that they
worked any of the bromides in their
patios, consequently the greater por
tion of the silver was lost. I obtained
several Fpecimens from the dumps
where the men had been searching
for months. These have been assay
ed, and the result has proved that they
have good cause to search. The ap
pearance and situation ot this mine L
liked very much. Following the di
rection of the vein one-half a mile to
the southwest are othjr excavations,
showing the same character of ore
no doubt a continuation of the same
vein. About one-half mile to the
south aDd running parallel with it, is
another mine, at present being work
ed by Mexicans and is called the "EI
Hilo de Pesquira.', The principal
excavation is iiar the top of a peak,
at an elevation of 4,100 feet above the
sea level, and about 500 feet above
the canyon.. This vein was opened"in
1872 by General Serna, and appeared
at the surface to be a thread of .very
rich chloride. They said, that from
a cut, 30 feet in length, 2 feet wide
and 4 or 5 feet deep they had
taken out some 12,000 in chlorides,
and that from 400 pounds of rock
they had taken 50 pounds of silver.
They are now working from a depth
of 35 feet in a shaft sunk a few
months before m- visit, and have dis
closed a well defined vein, five feet
in thickness, from which they have
taken a large amount of rich ore
Several assays of rock from the
bottom el this shaft are annexed.
One-half a mile distant, on a slope
to the north of a peak opposite to the
above mentioned mice, the placers
IE LAS PLAXCIIAS
are situated, yii'-mmmutSSSL large
About a mile to the south and west of
the "Hilo," is the shaft of the " La
Mina dc los Pobres," This was also
evened "by Gen. Serna, and a large
amount of chlorides taken out. Dur
ing the last three monthsand at pres
ent, it is being worked 1-y American?
who have sunk the shaft to
a depth ot 40 feet and have a well de--fined
ledge in walls of porphyry and
granite, showing a thread of calicha
two inches wida in its face. At a
distance of 15 feet, the ledge pitches
vertically. The mouth of the shaft
is near the summit of a mountain
about 4,400 feet above the sea level
and 200 feet above the canyon. The
ledge is shown on both sides of the
mountain, and at the bottom of the
canyon to the northeast where it is di
vided, although losing none of its di
mensions. Just below the slope to
the east of the summit they are driv.
ing a tunnel, expecting to strike the
vein about C5 feet below the surface.
The work proceeds slowly owing to
the lack of capital
Specimens of
very rich mineral have heeu taken
out; those which I brought with me
are second class, but appear to be of
a chloride nature, very easily worked
by mills. The average pay of the
entire width of the vein is $100 to the
ton. A half mile to the southeast of
this camp are the celebrated placers.
T hey are on the northerly slope of a
ridge running almost east and west,
This place is noted for enormous
masses of hard porphyry which ex
tend southerly from the top to
the bottom of the slope. Be
low one of tlTese large mrsses which
occupy the crest of the summit, is
where they found the large strip of
silver ia 1769, weighing 3,500 po inds
but lately the remains of the forges
could be seen which were used in re
ducing this mass to portable sizes.
The appearance of the ground is that
of common earth, gravelly and con
glomerate, and in parts decomposed.
These 300 square feet h we been pros
pected to a depth of over 20 feet, but
in the time that has elapsed have be
come covered with thickets and trees.
It is calculated that from this placo
to date, there had been taken no liss
than 40 tons of native silver in balls,
grains and strips. The largest ball
found in more recent times is that of
General Serna iu 1S71, weighing 45
pounds which I am told is still iu his
possession. From time to time when
there has been water in this small
canyon, they have taken out grains of
silver. I htard of some in the pos
session of Mexicans at the camp
weighing from one to two pounds
but did not see them. I however
succeeded in obtaining some speci
mens which were tuken from this
canyon. They have never fouud sil
ver even in the minutest quautitiy on
the southera slope of this ridge. The
only sttempt to find the source of
these extraordinary deposits of placer
silver has been a superficial cut at
the top of- the ridge made, I am told
by Gen. Serna, but only to the depth
of ten feet. Several months ago the
Americans working " La tnina de los
Pobres," commenced running a" tun
nel at the foot of these placers with
the intention of penetrating the
mountain to a depth of 100 feet. They
are in about 30 feet entirely in "cal
ishe" gravel and cement, a ledge of
which appears to traverse the moun
tain ridges at right angles, another
notable feature of these placers. One
hundred feet to the southeast of the
excavation, where they took the lnrge
mass of silver, they have made a cut
in the hill,which reveals a well de
fined ledge three feet wide contain
ing ore similar to that of the "Hilo."
The course of this vein has been
carefully traced to this poiut, and no
doubt exists in mv mind that this is
the original source of all the silver
which has here been found -in its na
tive state. A section of this ledge
terminating in the Planchas and run
ning up to the Hilo has been de
nounced.
TITE DISTRICT
Is favorably located for economical
working. The climate is delightful
all the ye.'-.r round. Of water, pas
turage and wood there is an abund-J
ance. Roads ot easy grades can be
found without much trouble. Labor
and provisions have alwa3-3 been ob
tained from Sonora at small cost,
and the proximity to the frontier of
the United States, offers a sufficient
guarantee for. protection.
In my opinion the district recom
mends itself, favorably for the invest
ment of capitaljo develop its natural
resources.

Ap-
Facts and Figures Worth
Knowing.
The tract of land purchased from
the Mexican government by Mr.
Gadsden, under the treaty of De
cember 30, 1853, and originally called
Arizona, formed a part of Sonora.
It was 400 miles in length, about 130
iu width, and contained 40,000 square
miles, or nearly 20,000.000 acres. The
present Territory of Arizona em
braces all that purchase, except what
i lies tp the east of the 109 degree of
longitude, and also a portion of
northwestern Kew Mexico sufficient
to constitute a section . of country
of 120,912 squ ire miles or 77,383.680
acres.
Until the last session of the 37th
Congress.Arizona was embraced with
in and under the laws of Xew Mex
ico, although many efforts had been
made for a separate organization
Senator Gwin, of California offered a
bill in the Senate, on the 17ih of
December, 1857, making a separate
organization but it was defeated. On
the 3d of April. 1800, Senator Green
cf Wisconsin made several efforts to
secure what Mr. Gwin failed to get,
and his bill was also defeated.
Again during the 3G(h Congress,
energetic efforts were made, and at
the second session of the 37 Congress,
8th of Mav, 1802, the organic act un
der which the organization has been
perfected, was passed by the house
of Representatives. At the third
session of that congress, the Senate,
on the 20 ot February ,1863, passed
the act and it received the approval
of President Lincoln a few days
after. j
In-March, 18G3, the President
made the following appointments
of officers for the Territory, as pro
vided foe in heact, namely: Gover
nor; John A. Gurley, of Ohio; Secre-
i-tary, Richard C. McCormick of New
York; Chief Justice, John H. Good
win ot Jiiainc; Associate Justices,
"Tin. T. Howell of Michigan, and
Jos. P. Allyn of Connecticut; Dis
trict Attorney, John Titus of Penn
sylvania, Marshal, Milton B. Duf
field of California; Superintendent
Isdian affairs, Chas. D. Poston of
Kentucky. These appointments
were a!! confirmed by the Senate ia
extra session.
TWO FACTS GENERALLY UNKNOWN.
It is generally understood that
Prescott was the first Capital of Ari
zona. Technically and really his
is not so. In fact, the government
of the Territory was formally inaug
urated at Navajo Springs, 40 miles
west of Zuni, ou the 29th day of
December, 1863, and here it was that
Goodwin (who had boen made Gov
ernor on the death of Gurley) issued
his proclamation ; McCormick made
a speech, and hoisted the stars and
stripes; Rev. II. Vvr. Read made a
prayer; a salute of fifteen guns was
fired from two anvils, and the crowd
sung the "Battle Cry of Freedom."
Subsequently, the seat of government
was erected at, or near, what is now
Prescott ,
Another fact not generally known
is that the Prescott. Miner is some
months older than the town itself,
having been established at the first
site of Fort Whipple. 23 miles north
oi Prescott, and again the old office
of the. Miner was the first building
erected in Pr-scott. And J still again
the Miner put up the first brick
building in the Territory. These
are pleasant reminiscences.
THE TOPOGRAPHS OF ARIZONA
It is estimated by those with whom
I have conversed, and who, from ob
servation and so forth, know what
they are lalking about, that three
fifths'of theTerritory is composed of
mountains, one fifth sandy sterile
deserts, and one fifth of arable lands.
This is a pretty fair estimate,
although the latter is being increas
e'" through systems of irrigation; be
sides at least one-tenth of the moun
tain ranges are good pastoral lands
and more than one-tenth are well
timbered. The metaliferous region
may be summed up as containing
nearly 16.000 square miles or 12,160,
000 apres! This large area contains
eveiy description of metals known
to exist among primitive rocks, and
in such abundance, at least so far as
surface indications go, as to be be.
yond comprehension.
THE MINERAL RESOURCES.
The mineral resources of Arizona
are simply wonderful. From one
end of the Territory to the other its
mountains contain either gold, silver
or copper. Almost every elevation
within its boundaries is spangled
with"crappings of precious metals.
Every river in Arizona meanders
along and over auriferous sands, and
upon ewry ilesert waste may be seen
the glittering metalliferous parti
cles.. Advice to a onus Kan.

ADVERSITY.
A Wail from the Orange Groves
of California.
The Los Angeles Coimntrcial thus
Wails over the prospects of that city:
During the past three years prop
erty has been receding in value until
it has come painfully near zero. Real
estate is practically unsalable. And
yet the assessment roll has not only
maintained its old-time figures, but
this year increased several hundred
thousand dollars. There a-e lew
pieces of property in the county that
can be sold for anything like their
assessed value. , This may be what l
termed equal aud uniform, but is
none the less onerous and unjust.
There s a gross wrong somewhere, i
We present the curious ' anomally of
a people taxing itself to death and
far " hat ? jSot for any public im
provement or object of utility. Streets
sewers and irrigation works are con
structcd, ard the latter maintained ot
the expense of property holders, ir
respective of taxes. The latter seems
to be almost wholly for the mainten
ance of a cumbersome governmental

machinery, which we might be better

is to be had. And vet the Tax Cul- j
lector is ubiquitous. The proprietor
of acres, the merchant, the manufac

throttled month by month, year by

without any regard as to ability to
pay, and his property is swept away
from him as a penalty -n his unavoid
