NEED OF PRO TECTION.
Heintzlema.n mine, like all the others, has been deserted, in
consequence of the depredations of the Apaches. Ruins
alone mark the place which but a few years since was the
home of thrift and industry. How long this state of affairs
will continue, who can tell? There is no protection for life
or property there, nor can I see how the government can
adequately garrison such a vast extent of territory as would
be necessary to protect the mining interests in this section
of the country. With the experiences of the past, no capitalists can be found willing to invest their money in speculations of so uncertain a character as silver mining, without
protection, in Arizona.
There are many other mines equal in value to those I have
named, particularly in and around Arrivacca. The Cahuabia, Bahia, and, in fact, dozens of mines could be mentioned,
all rich, and lacking but one thing to make them valuable,protection. Give the silver mines of Arizona but this, and
there can be no doubt but that they would rival the richest
silver mines in the world in their productions.
Leaving the Heintzleman mine, we drove to Tubac,
where we remained for the night, enjoying the hospitality
of the Arizona Mining Company, and early the next morning were on the road once more for Tucson. It was a beautiful day, and as we drove along, enjoying the delicious
breeze from the mountains, we could but exclaim at the
prodigality with which nature had bestowed her fairest gifts
