PALMETTO,  PIMA COUNTY.

  This district is situated on the western slope of the Patagonia Mountains,
about twelve miles east of Calabasas. The ledges are not generally as large as
those on the eastern slope, but contain ore of a very high grade. Wood for fuel
and mining purposes is abundant, and water can be obtained by sinking. The
Tempest mine, owned by Stockton and Sutton, has a four-foot vein, from which
several tons of high-grade ore has been extracted. The Bullion, owned by Walker
& Co., has a two-foot vein giving high assays. Some of this ore has been shipped
to San Francisco, and yielded sufficient to pay for the developments thus far
made. On what is called the Lewis ledge are several locations, promising well,
which are now being developed by shafts.
