Gold Camp is situated in a small detached range at the south end of the Dragoon Mountains, about 11 miles from Tombstone, in an easterly direction. The formation is granite, containing many large veins of quartz, showing considerable free gold. The ores are not of high-grade, but they are quite uniform in their character, and the quantity being large they will undoubtedly pay when milling facilities shall be afforded. Juniper and oak are found in this section, and considerable is cut and transported to Tombstone. Water is scarce. Some capital has recently been invested by Eastern parties, who contemplate erecting mills. Quite a number of locations have been made, on some of which parties are now engaged in prospecting.
