DOS CABEZAS,  CACHISE COUNTY.

  This district is situated in the eastern part of the county, on the northern
portion of the Chiricahua Mountains; most of the mines being worked are gold
quartz.

  The Juniper is a gold ledge of great promise, from which considerable ore has
already been taken, some of which yields over $100 per ton. Ewel Springs joins
the Juniper on the west; it has a shaft down 67 feet, and shows high grade ore.
The Greenhorn, Bear Cave and Galena Chief, in the same neighborhood, are also
extracting ore of a good quality. The Silver Cave, owned by S. R. DeLong, has
recently struck ore which assays as high as $500 per ton. There is one ten-stamp
mill and six arastras at work in this district.
