 Regarding the future of copper. ! d. not sse aaE rrason Why the present pFice should noi be sgs saiised Tor couple of years st feast rhe fact that some of the richest ulen iu the world headed by John D. RockcfelleF, have turned their atten- ton Co the controlling of copper, is good evidence that the anAncsers of Americs recognize the shortage of this metal There has been one mistake made, 90 far. by toe Rocke- felieE syndicate. and that is, they have invested their money la the L.Aks Superior and Montana prop critics when they should have invest cd In Arizona property. To other words it is now an open secret among mining men couFersznt with the question that the great mines of Lake Superior and Montana dis tricts are now working on their ore reserves, and when theee are ex- bausted there will naturally bs a heavy decline In these securities; whereas, the Arizona properties are comparatively virgin aud sli their great wealthy is yet to be extracted. Besides. outside of tke native cop per product of Lake Superior, the mines of Arizona can produce cop per cheaper than the general run Of districts, and last year ArizoBa Was the only copper country that showed any material inc-DAse in is product Another thing which the public does not rscoguize is the fact that ln the last i've years there bss not been one great new copper producer die e vered. CT course we believe that the Lone Pine will prove an eKcep- ton. but outside of this there has not been a copper mine found in the United States in the last Eve years which csn be classed as a great copper producer. Conse- quently we believe that the world is open Tor great speculation in copper mines which give evidence of lArg bodies of ore Therefore, we are 90 ing before body of rich men aud explain Co them the possibilities oi striking copper oB the Verde belt, and the intention is to list the stock upon the stock exchanges of New York. Boston and London.
 We are hopeful of success in this veature, and fl capital comes 10 our assistance approximately to the en- conragemsnt have already re- ceived, ! do not think there is any question about this company becom- ing 8 great benefit to Arizona"
