George Januel
Contributed by Jean Walker George Januel

Who's Who in Arizona, 1913, Page 635

George Januel, of Nogales, was born at Gaimersheim, Germany, April 15, 1879 and is the son of Charles and Anna (Tiefenbock) Januel. He was educated at Ingelstadt, to which place his parents moved when he was a lad. George arrived in the United States on April 29, 1904, went to St. Louis and remained there until November of the same year. He then went to Houston, Texas, but in April 1905, moved to Beaumont, Texas, where he remained for two years. He next located in Nogales, where he has since resided. The only near relative Mr. Januel now has living is a brother, who resides in Mexico.

George is Past Chancelor of No. 13 Knights of Pythias, of Nogales. This young man is of that class of Germans whom the people of the United States regard as among our most desirable citizens. No man in Nogales is more highly respected by his acquaintances than is Mr. Januel. He owns the leading harber shop in the place, and strict attention to business has brought him financial success. He gives employment to several people. He has in his place of business one of the largest collection of antlers in the State, one of which has never been classified. An intelligent and much traveled Englishman vainly tried to purchase this curious specimen of antlered creatures, being anxious to present the head to the English Museum of Natural History.

 

Mark Lulley

Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913, page 669

Mark Lulley, was a pioneer, a man familiar with the roughness and hardships of the early mining times and who has taken a prominent part in the development of the territory. He is called "The Wandering Jew" and "The Prospector Pioneer" and is widely known and highly esteemed throughout the state. He was one of the earliest prospectors in the Santa Rita Mountain region, coming to Arizona in 1875 and going directly to that section, where he found at once several valuable mines which he sold to good advantage to some of the early operators. Among these properties may be mentioned the Goldtree Mine, now the Alto, the Santa Rita group, the Joplin group and others which yielded handsomely in those early days.

After several years in Arizona, Mr. Lulley returned east and followed other callings for many years but the lure of Arizona had been cast upon him and about 1898 he returned, bent upon seeking in the Santa Ritas another fortune. In furtherance of that desire he made a careful examination and study of these mountains and located several properties, some of which have proved profitable. In 1898 he took up the Apache group of mines which he sold at a profit to T.R. French. of French Brothers, Cincinnati, Ohio and he lived in Cincinnati for a short time, becoming superintendent for that concern. After one year, however, he returned, gaining possession of the Joplin group of mines and forming an operating company composed of many prominent business men in Arizona. It was in 1901 that he took up the Wandering Jew claim and at his own expense bought a party of forty men from Nogales to Patagonia to inspect its resources. He still holds title to a number of valuable mines and in the Wandering Jew, the M. and S. and other fine properties upon which he has done no little developing, he has opened fine veins of high grade ore. These have given ample proof that they have the making of real mines and need the tough of capital to make them productive. In his wanderings about the Santa Ritas Mr. Lulley has found many other good ledges and is ready and willing at all times to put those seeking such opportunities in touch with them.

Mr. Lulley possesses an individuality of character which has given rise to many interesting stories concerning his doings. In 1901 he captured two cub bears in the course of his wanderings and took them to Washington D.C. receiving an ovation at every point along the way, notably at Cincinnati, Ohio where he stopped. These bear are now in the Zoo in Washington, the property of the United States government and are the original "Teddy" bears.
