TYNDALL,  PIMA COUNTY.

  This district is situated on the east side of the Santa Cruz Valley, adjoining
the Aztec District, and embraces within its limits the lower ranges of the Santa
Rita Mountains. It is one of the oldest and probably one of the richest mining
sections in Southern Arizona. In every portion of it, especially at Tubac, the
Hacienda del Santa Ritas, and at the mission of Tumacacori, are to be found the
remains of arastras and smelters, together with large dumps of ore slag, which
proclaim this district to have been in former times the scene of extensive
mining operations, in what was then Northern Mexico. It is at least sixty years
since any of these works were used. The district affords sufficient wood and
water for mining and milling purposes, and in the mountains is found a fine
growth of pine timber. Among the most noted mines are the Mercer's group, owned
by T. L. Mercer, Campbell's group, Neil's group, Megry's group, Josephine group,
Baack & Casey's group, Devil's Cache, and the Arnold and Surprise mines.
