Mr, Gillette ts one of the few men in Arizona who combine a thorough business tratning with a large and successful minty experience, His profits on the sale of his Hermosa stock cannot be legs than $300,000, As your. renders are well aware, Jong be- foro tho Hermosa Mine was ever discovered, THE OLD MOWRY MINE, six miles from Harshaw, was noted as a famous bullion producer. Thithor we wend- ed our pyeonly, however, to find the mine dificult of access, the Mexivan Indders being anything but sate. Being unable to make the descent into this ancient bulwark of Arizona, we examined cursorily the lialf- dozen clatms rnniing north of and parallel with the Mowry, ‘The chief of these is the Good Hope, showing a true fissure-veln eight feut thick, with solid ore carrying some sixty-five ounces of lead, and assaying gome $70 per ton, All the three shafts sunk on the veln show. fine smelting ore, without ad- mixture of robellions matter; and there seems good catse. for holding | that all the Mowr, velng . underlic this. property, t may well be hoped that the Good Hope will suon causo the old amelting-works on the high rond to eo again started up. At present, these works, g0 long idle, presont the very picture of desolation, From Mowry to Washington Camp is an- other good four miles over a very bad rond. Wash pton is at presont booming, thanks to the good showing made. by the Tolland, the Pensacola, and the W, C. Davis, ‘Ihe Intter mine {s now owned by Messra, Grant, Hon- oré, Ewing, and other Eastern men, was orlg- inally located by David Harshaw, the discoy- erer of the Hermosa, Harshaw owed W. C, Davis, 9 ther in Tucson, $100, and, calling wpon ‘his creditor with $80 in'hig Nand, ex pressed his regrot ot being unable to raiso the remaining $20, “A}l right]? said Davis.. “Suppose you locate me into some mine. That will square us.” And, 80 say- nH tho tinman, tore up Harshaw’s note. thin a month from that ‘time the W. C. Davis wos located, At Harshaw’ssuegestion, Mr, Davis sent some men out to Patagonia to do about $800 work on It, but could never take sufficient interest in the matter to visit the mine itself. ‘That 8800, however, sufliced to disclose something of the actual richness of the mine, and enabled its owner to SELL Ils PRorenty For $40,000, a pretty fair return on his outluy. Mr. Sel- bys of the Selby Sinelting Works, San Ifran- elscg, is at present nt the Davis Mine, stuiy- ing plans for putting up a forty-live-ton fur- nace sone five miles from Wushington Camp. The El Cainpo, tho Redoubtable, and the Tempest—whicl are the mincs adjacent to the Davis—aro all at present bonded at pret- ty high figures; and the ‘Lempest, hav ay spring on its ground, is likely to prove most desirable property of nll.

We pass over tho astonishment of his ship- mates at his extraordinary appearance and at the story of Jorgensen, but quoten few of tho Captain's words, because they are bricf and to the points “When Jorgensen went on shore,” sald Capt. Williams, in conversation with the writer, “he was 2 short, spare nian, of nbout five feet seven, witha bald head, a thin, straw-colored mustache, and looked all of his age, which he said was 47, When he came on board he was bloated, or swollen or something so much that he looked to he about six feet high; was growed 80 stout that hoe had burst all his clothes; hada new crop of fluffy halr over his face and head, and had aged about ten years.
