CHAPTER III. THE MTNHB OP ARIZONA. REPORT OP F. BIERT0, METALLURGIST AND MINING ENGINEER, WRITTEN IN FEBRUARY, 1861. The Mowry (formerly called the Patagonia) Silver Mines.—The Lodes and Ores.—Shafts and Tunnels.—Owners.—Management.—Eagle Mines.—Empire or Montezuma Mine.—Santa Rita Mining Company.—Mariposa Mining Company.—Sonora Exploring and Mining Company.—Cahuabi Mining Company.—Arizona Copper Mining Company.—Sopori Land and Mining Company.—Arizona Land and Mining Company.—Colorado Eiver Copper Mines.—Stevenson Mining Company.—Harris Mine.—St. Augustin Mining Company. —Coal Mines.—Auriferous Quartz. PATAGONIA, NOW MOWEY SILVER MINES. Mr visit to the Patagonia Mine, now called Mowry Silver Mines, has lasted four days—the time necessary to give it a full examination in all its parts, and to make a careful assay of its ores. But why was it called the Patagonia Mine ? Is it because it is situated in a desert inhabited only by Indians ? Such were the questions I put to myself while traveling, and which I thought might be answered affirmatively. Great was my surprise, however, when, instead of finding, as I expected, barren mountains as at Washoe and Mono, I gazed on beautiful landscapes and a eountry covered with trees of different kinds, with fertile lands perfectly watered. True it is that the nearest neighbors, the Apaches, are far from being even equal to the Patagonians; but this, it seemed to me, could not be a reason for giving to such a beautiful spot, which in spring must be covered with flowers, so savage a name. Mr. Mowry was perfectly right to alter it. This property, containing about five hundred acres of land, is situated ten miles from parallel 32 20' north latitude, which forms the limit between Arizona and Mexico, twenty miles from Fort Buchanan, f...
