Big Profits Of R. B.
Trowbridge In
Copper.
1T WAS ALL IN CASH.
Three New Companies
Launched General Mar
ket Notes.

Rutherford B. Trowbridge, a member
of one of the most respected of New
Haven families, is reported to have
made 81 900, 900 cash by a transaction in
Parrot mining stock, in which a large
deal was consummated, a few weeks
ago. OF this $1,OOO,OOO over 100000 was
pure and simple profit Mr. Trowbridge
controlled about 10000 shares of Par
rot. some of which he bought at $40 or
Whereabouts, several years ago, and the
larger portion of which came to his
wife as a gift from her father, Franklin
Farrell of Ansonia, the largest owner Of
the stock. Mr.. Trowbridge sold his
and Mrs. Trowbridge's holdings with
the rest few days ago, and received
over $1000,000 cash in return, one Of
the largest transactions of the year.
Seven hundred thousand dollars of
this was deposited in single local ma
tional bank, one of the heaviest de-
posits made by a single depositor in
years.
The Rio Hondo company, whose adj
Yertisement appears in the financial
columns of The Spy today, will be or
ganized on May II, 1899, and the inter-
ests of $1,000 each will then be divided
into as many shares as the organizers
at that meeting may determine, and
the property of the trust will be trans
ferred to the company.
The property is located on the south
west slope of Frazer Mountain, between
the north fork and lake fork of the Rio
Hondo river, in the Rio Hondo min
ing district, Taos county, New Mexico.
1t is So miles from Tres Piedras on the
Rio Grande railroad. and is reached by
a good wagon road. Sample car lot
shipments from the high grade ore give
returns of 20 per cent copper and one
half ounce gold, and IA ounces silver.
Thorough tests have been made on the
low grade ores by concentration, and a
saving of 80 per cent. of the value OBJ
tanned by that method. There is an
abundance of iron and lime near the
property.
The best mining experts, after a care
full examination of the property, report
that the mines could be worked at a
yearly profit of $685.. The report is
made upon a valuation of S12 cents per
pound for copper. OF course. with the
present market value of over II cents,
the profits will be immensely increased.
There are now 100000 tons of ore
blocked out in the tunnels, and the Rio
Hondo promises to be one of the best
copper ventures of 1899. Interests are
now placed on the market by the trust
in order to raise the necessary amount
of money to erect the 500-ton mill, adj
vance the tunnels and make the proper
amount of development work. The East
River National bank of New York city
are bankers for the company.
Among the advertisements in The
Spys financial columns today, is that

Wilkinsonville, April 19.-Belgian hares
and pheasants are to be introduced at the
state fish hatchery. The phsasants are
expected in few days from the Massa-

and climate about the hatchery here are
just suited for pheasants. and that he
thinks people will be delighted when they
see them. The pheasant such as will be
introduced at the state fish hatchery is
very gaudy bird. In shape it is like
partridge, with longer legs, tail and
more closely feathered.
The coat of a pheasant comprises sew

with 250 head of cattle from the rGdeo l in the Pinal mountains. The cattle
 were sold to Byron Carr yesterday. w. A. Kimball received word from
 w R. Orr on Monday to the effect that l operations will be commenced on the
 Buckhorn mine in a short time. The 1 Buckhorn, it will be remembered, was bonded to MT. Orr for $30, 900 by MT. 1 Kimball and others. A great amount | of work has been done on the mine, but the drift of the ore chute had
 been lost for several years and was not found until last winter. In doing l $100 worth of assessment work a drift
 at the eighty-foot level was started to
 the south and the ore chute Twas found Another S100 of work was re-
 gently been finished, with the result that the pay streak has widened until | it is now four feet wide. The ore con- tains silver, gold and copper, the lat ter in sufficient quantities to make it copper property.
 The Mesa Skimming branch of the l Tempe Mesa Produce company is now installed in its new quarters east of the f1cur mill The new building con- tains a cheese room, a cold storage room, a separator room and a store room. The station is now receiving more milk by 1000 pounds than the main plant at Tempe. Yesterdays amount reached 8,596 pounds and the butter made from it amounts to $50 pounds daily. In a short time a cheese press will be put in and Mexi- can cheese will be made from the skinned milk
 A neat little stock of goods is on the shelves of the store room and the trade is growing daily. There is every reason to believe that the sales this summer will amount to more than S100 per day.
 O. c. Bullock is manager of the plant, or, more strictly speaking, per- haps, the whole thing. MT. Bullock runs the separator, is the engineer, storekeeper, b.iokkeeper and will be the cheese maker He has four help CTS to wade through the daily increas- ing business, however. The success of the skimming station is largely due to the management of MT Bullock and his ability to get along smoothly with the patrons of the plant, a quail ificat1cn that is seldom found.
