VAL VERDE MINING COMPANY

VAL VERDE MINING COMPANY.
 Val Verde is ghe name of a mining company which has sent it's prcspec- tus curt bi'cadcasL It connects its name with the United Verde and lays claim to be on the same mineral belt as the latter famous mine. Taking the territory of Arizona, from the New Mexico line to the Colorado river as a mineral belt, which it is, largely. the Val Verde is on the same belt as the United Verde. Thsi mines are located in the northern rart of the territory and may be merftCrious. The very fact that the prospectus devOtes so much space in attempting to connect them with the United Verde mines. with which they are not even remotely connected, is sufficient in itself to arouse suspicion. It remains to be seen whether thers are suckers verde" enough in the ea9s to be caught with such a bait In this con nectiOn it is remarkable the number of properties which are just now claim ing relationship to the United Verde mines. Almost every ore in which copper stain is found in the ore, is ad- vertised tn be on the same belt with Jle United Verde. A map containing all the properties claimed to be Cn the United Verde belt, with a connecting line running from them to the above mines would resemble in appearance an illustration of an octopus more than it would that of a mineral .-dge or belt It would show them located at every point of the compass from the United Verde property There is only one United Verde mine in the world today. Future generations may be fortunate enough 70 discover Oth- ers,-JOurnal-Miner

 Prescott may have general ore re- duotion works enc of these days, and she may not. But, whenever the time is ripe and the right msn take the matter in hand, the best thing not to do is to call mass meeting. There is nothing so beftting the burial of good citizen, who has passed away, as long whereases and ref5cLutions about his worth As he is dead and out of tha way, they can not hurt him and help to bury him even deeper, is pos sible. Hence, it follows, that this same line of procedure is liable to act on live proposition in Hne same man. ner. Experience teaches us that it has had about that effect. Yes, it seems to be settled fact that general ore re- duction works For Prescott are not des- tined to come by tha mass meeting rOute.-Prescctt Courier.
