MYERS,  MARICOPA COUNTY.

  This district is located in the Esperanza Mountains, in the southwestern
portion of the county. Gold was discovered in this section many years ago, but
the silver ledges which are being worked were discovered in 1878. The Gunsight
group, embracing several gold and silver ledges, has been worked to a
considerable extent, and a large quantity of high-grade ore extracted. Some sent
to San Francisco for reduction, is said to have yielded from $700 to $1000 per
ton. The company proposes to soon erect a forty-stamp mill. The Silver Girt, on
an adjoining lode, has yielded some rich ore, but has not as yet been worked to
any great extent. In addition to these mines are the McLellan, and other
locations, where excellent prospects have been obtained.
