Cheering Notes OF Progress-A Cop
per Bonansa at Home.

II is source Of qualification to know
that the great Copper Mountain Mining
Company Of Los Angeles il making rapid
progress in selling the necessary amount
Of stock for the erection of smelters and
the production Of bullion. It is not
often that company starts off with SO
fine prospects as this home company,
composed Of our best known citizens,
who are all practical business men and
will have no part nor lot in anything Of
swindling natsre. The stock will soon
be taken and the smelters erected, when
the pulse Of business In Los Angeles will
be quickened by the sale of copper bull
lion, which can be produced by thous-
ands of tons.
The Copper Msuntain mine. the Cave.
Eagle. Emma, Cesar, Fair View, River
View and Mount Horeb mines are tie
property Of the Copper Mountain Min
ing Company, in Yuma county, Arizops.
four miles east Of the Colorado river, in
. high, healthy, we'll watsrsd and tim
bered country. The ore is largely above
the surface, so that mining will be easily
carried on at slight expense. The water
front is favorable for steamers and bar
ges to load and unload in deep water.
and the smelling furnace will be placed
near the landing.
Freight can be ssht to and from the
mines either by the way Of the Nesdles.
fifty miles north Of the property, where
the Southern Pacific Railroad crosses
the Colorado, or by the way Of Yuma,
200 miles south Of the mines. The prop.
erty is open to river navigation during
all the year, and is by that means con-
nected with two continental railways.
As soon ~ the smelters are sent forward,
the charcoal will be burned SO. as to be
ready for use by the time the furnaces
are ready. As the road from the mines
to the river Is all the way down hill,
trains can haul large loads and the cost
Of mining and smelling will be very
small.
II may also be slated that owing to
the richness Of the ore IL could be sent
to Pueblo or San Francisco for reduction
at good round profit. But the facili-
ties are so excellent for reducing on the
bank of the river that il ID not likely
that the company will ship much ore.
unless - On experiment for certain
kinds Of ore which contain other metals
besides copper. The assays Of the vari-
Gus mines show great richness.
The Emma Mine contains trace Of
gold and silver and an average from FIVE
samples Of 81 l-5 per cent in copper.
The River View Mine shows the same
result, and the Copper Mountain IA per
cent. from an average of four tests.
The Cave Mine is remarkably rich,
showing 81. IL in gold and silver per ton,
with "a per cent. in copper. from five
tests.
The Mount Horeb Nine showu 81. %
ia gold and silver par ton and p per
cent. in copper. the result of five sam-
Piles.
The Cesar Mine shows 81 per cent. in
copper and $50 in gold.
In the Cave Mine the air is 20 dry and
pure that the candles and tools that
were left in the tunnel twenty years ago
when tho Indians drove away the
miners wsre found there in good state
Of preservation when Mr.. Henry King
