CASA GRANDE, PINAL COUNTY.

  This is a new district, located near the line of Pima and Pinal Counties,
thirty miles south of Casa Grande Station, at what was formerly known as Krohn's
Camp. It embraces a portion of the Quijota Mountains. The formation is syenite
and limestone. Carbonates predominate in the silver ores, in all of which the
value of gold is about equal to the silver. The veins are large, with distinct
croppings. On a number of locations rich ore has been found, but none have as
yet been developed to any great extent. There is plenty of iron wood, and
mesquite for fuel, but water is scarce.
