TOM HALEY

"Honest Tom" Haley, one of the most successful pioneer miners of 
Arizona has been in Phoenix for the last three days, and returns 
to his home in Ray this morning.  Mr. Haley with his partner, 
William Souffrien, went into what is now known as the Ray district 
more than thirty years ago, and they have been there ever since.  
When they began mining there the district was remote from all 
settlements and it was only when Phoenix and Eastern penetrated 
that locality that they were brought in tough with the outside 
world.

They stood off Apaches and worked their claims, and the results 
have rewarded their courage and good judgment. In late years they 
have made several important sales and are now among the "best fixed" 
pioneers in the mining business.  They still own some of the best 
copper property in the district.  The famous "Haley Lead Mines" 
situated on the range two miles east of Ray, which they are still 
developing, comprise one of the most valuable groups of lead-
carbonate mines in the whole west--there being nothing like them 
outside of the Leadville district--the ore being identical in 
character with the carbonates which made the wealth of Colorado's 
great camp.

These men, working quietly and without machinery and until recent 
years working under the most discouraging conditions, have 
developed the lead properties until now vast bodies of ore are in 
sight.
