PAJARITO,  PIMA COUNTY.

  This district is located about 75 miles south of Tucson. The first locations
were made in 1877, and the district organized in 1880. About fifty claims have
so far been sufficiently developed to prove that they have paying ores. The
Pajarita Mining Co., incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, J. M.
McArthur, Superintendent, are taking out ore which assays $100 per ton. The Gold
Mountain Tunnel Co., C. P. Sykes Superintendent, are also developing their
claims; the formation is porphyry, ores principally chlorides. Wood and water
are abundant.
