This district is situated on Gila Canon, 50 miles east of Florence. The first locations were made in March, 1880, since which time some work has been done on several mines, developing rich silver ore, carrying gold. A shaft 80 feet deep has been sunk on a claim bonded to San Francisco parties, in which the ore has increased in value as depth is attained. The formation is limestone. The ores are black sulphates. Some ore has been milled averaging $156 to the ton for pulp. About one hundred locations have so far been made. Timber is abundant, principally pine. Water can be easily obtained from the Gila river the year around.
