OLD HAT,  PIMA COUNTY.

  This district is situated in the northeastern part of the county, about forty
miles from Tucson. It embraces a portion of the Santa Catarina Mountains, which
are covered with forests of pine and other timber. Springs of good water are
numerous, and the climate delightful. Considerable prospecting has lately been
done, resulting in the discovery of rich ores. The Apache Girl, one of the most
prominent mines, is being vigorously worked, and yielding high-grade ore. The
extension of this mine is also being worked with good success. The American Flag
and Oracle have been developed to a considerable extent by shafts, the former to
the depth of 125 feet, showing good ore. The Kearsage and Imperial are also
developing their mines, and the latter are crushing their ore in a Huntington
mill, which has recently been erected. In addition to these are many other
promising mines which are being vigorously worked.
