4 FORTUNE MADE.
COPPER MINE IN ARIZONA SOLD
 FOR $60O,O00.
Messrs H. Riley and Alex P. Turney
 Own One Eigth Interest.

Messrs. H. Riley and Alex r. Fur ney have at last received their re- ward for the enterprise and judg- ment they have used in managing their copper claim in Arizona. It was about year ago that Mir. Ri- ley's bruther-in-law out in Arizona communicated to MT. Riley that he had struck a rich copper find, but was unable to develop it for want of money. Mir. Riley and Mir. Turney investigated the matter and decided to invest their capital in the enter prise. A stock company was organ ized and Messrs. Riley and Turney took together a one-eigth interest in the company. They have been con tributing their capital along to de- yeloping the claim.
 Since last summer several efforts have been made to sell the mine. Both gentlemen went out to Arizona to personally inspect it.
 Several offers were made by Ameri- can and English syndicates. A syn dicate of English capitalists recently offered $600,000 for the mine. Mr. Riley received a telegram this morn ing from his agent at Denver, Col, saying that the deal had been closed and was sure go.
 Messrs. Riley and Turney's share in tbis sale will give them independ- ent fortunes.
 This is not the end of their good luck. They also own another claim in Arizona, which is undeveloped,b but is believed to be equally as rich q find as the former. The capital realized from the sale will be used in developing this other mine. and the gentlemen expect to work it them selves without turning it over to foreign capitalists.
 The GRAPHIC congratulates Messrs Riley and Turney upon their good fortune.
