 In COchise county are located some excellent copper properties, worthy the attention of capitalists. Within our county is located one copper producer, the Copper Queen, which has attained fame and renown ranking among the first copper pro ducers in the United States. The Whetstones. Dragons and Huachu- cas abound in copper ledges of i'm mense size, which need but capital to open them up and demonstrate their merits. There has been more activity in the development of and search for copper mines on the part ot capitalists seeking investments in mining ventures than in any other class of properties, except, perhaps, gold, The largely increased demand for copper for use in electrical ap pliances and transmission plants, gives promise that the price of cop per will continue to advance for a number of years, unless very much larger increase is made in the out put than at present seems likely. In spite of the large amount placed on the market during the past year, prices have increased.-Tombstone Prospector.
