An Outside Impression.

ing engineer. Read 1t and decide for yourself if he is right or wrong in what he says of Arizona. If he is right you may profit by it. If the gentleman is wrong it will give you some idea of out. side impressions:
 DEAR SIR:-I have just returned from trip east, and start for Das Moines to- night, and shall return to Denver in about ten days. Experience of some friends in Colorado seems to indicate that bout all the copper prospects down your way are held in vastly greater es- timation by their owners than by those desiEing to buy mines, or the examiners they send to look at them and although copper properties are often enquired for, buyers are becoming chary of paying expenses of examiner to look them up in Arizona, the prices there never being justified by character of the mine or it's development, result being loss of time and expense in examining.
 I have two customers for copper mines, but they will not send me there to look at mine without reasonable as- surance of mine jnstifying price asked. They say that all over Arizona the pros- pectors have gone crazy, and will locate claim on little copper stained rock or earth, do an assssment. then try to sell it for thousands of dollars, when there is no probability of one out of hundred of them ever paying a cent toward expenses, much less pay profits.
 Arizona having that kind ot "black eye" people searching for mincs to buy prefer sending their men to Wyoming, Idaho or Colorado. have uever been sent to Arizona to see mine, though good mines exist there, but the pros pectors must change their methods or they will die of old age before getting capital 10 comein.
 Should you have something in view that will bear examination, or some very favorable prospects at right prices, you might report them to me at Denver, and should results justify l might be able to turn some of the copper tidc your way. certainly could if l could find good prospects, or developed mines at fair prices. ;.
 Among copper deposits, one of the most remarkable in America is that at Cop per Basin, eleven miles southwest of Prescott, says the Mining and Scientific Press. This deposit consists of a bed ot delritus--,he result of the degradation or the uei.hbnri@g hills of granite and erup;ive rock, which is cenisnted by carbonate of copper (malachite,) pre- sumably derived from the numerous small veins accruing in the underlying crystalline rocks, the water flowing from which carry copper sulphate in solution which has been precipitated in the in tcrtitial spaces of the debris. The wa ters flowing in the neighboring creeks contain copper in solution, and when at low stage depos;btilms of copper car bonate on the bedrock over which they pass.
