 The following communication, which ap- pes-,t in the Courier this morning, was writ ten for the Prescott papers by member of tie above company for the purpose of show ing its objects and puiposesl
 The object Of thls incorporation is. as it name signifies. for the development of the resources of Yavapai county, the erection of reduction works for the treatment of ores, buying, selling and developing mines, building railroads, hotels, erecting electric light plants. con- structing storage reservoirs. irrigating ditches. toll roads, etc.
 The enterprise was started with the idea of treating the low grade ores of the county, and in this direction the company will first turn their attention. Before the capacity and kind of redue- ton works can be determined upon, it will be necessary to look into the min eral resources of the county, and MT. Rockwell will give thorough lnvcstiga- ton; he will visit the mines and ascer- tam the quantity and quality of ore that can be depended upon. As authorized agent of the company, he will ask the miners to contrlbritute towards the es- tabhshment of an enterprise of vast ben eft to them by donating ore which they ship through the sampler here. This ore would be given on the dump the com pany paying the cost of transportation to Prescott. This ore. which is .compara- tively worthless to the miner, will be a very solid cornerstone to the building of the enterprise, which will enhance the value of the mines. The miner can afford to contribute ten tons where in the future he can find a market tor hun dreds. Now. probably. not more than one ton in ten ever reaches market and that ton often fails to net the miner a profit, but with the establishment ot reduction works at home very much of the ore could be shipped just as It comes from the mine to find a market here. Impetus would be given to mining; pros poets would be developed into mines At present not enough ore comes into Prescott to supply the crushing capacity of fye stamp mill, but with works es- abolished here, marke, could be had for one hundred. yes. five hundred tons a day if the county could supply It. s'God helps those who help themselves and if we do not help ourselves and have a second Denver in our midst, then let the miner, the merchant, the ire,s hter, each one and all of us put our shoulder to the wheel and make suc- cess of the enterprise How long would ,A msaads of tons of ore lie at the gates O. jenver or Pueblo untouched
 Outside capitalists will soon notice our saccess, they will add thousands to our hundreds, the reduction works will be largely increased. a marrow guage rail road will be built which will enable us to handle ore of lower grade. Mining sales will take place and everybody will be happy because he is prosperous "Tall oaks from little acorns grow and that our little nucleus offers large pos abilities in the future no one can deny.
 "The proof of the pudding is in the eating," and if we do not taste, can we expect another to venture
 Reduction works fed with ore from many mines would be much more per mauent than those erected by any one mine for if one mine failed there would perhaps. be ninety and nine to fall back on, the inducement too, to srtside cap ital tc invest would be very much greater because safer.
 The plans of the company so far as worked out is to send their authorized agent into the country to investigate the mineral resources of the county to as certain the character and quantity of ore that can be depended upon for the sup port of the reduction works; to ask the miners to donate ore to the company, and to ascertain what arrangements can be made for the future which would be of profit both to him and the com pany. All this data will be of the ut- most value in determining future pro- cedure, Two arms are needed tor the The company and the min CTS, and if they will work together in good faith, success IS assured. Let US have honesty in dealing and mutual con- hdeuce from the start.
 The subscription books of the con- pany are now open and from the interest manifested there will be no difficulty in | sufficient money to meet the present expenses, which will be lighi. Not more than ten per cent of the par salue of the stock may be called in each month, and if much stock is sub ;cribed for then the monthly assessmeLts will be less.
 Let it be understood that this enter ,rise is not for the benefit of any local ,y, but for the development of the whole of Yavapai county. It had to nave starting point point and what ,laes more suitable than Prescott, the ernifhus of the railroad.
