IMPORTANT SHELTER PROJECT
 FOR PRESCOTT.
The 5Ig Bug Plant to Be at Once
 Started by Strong Company.

or all the wealth producing ele. meots of Arizona none are so prom. meat as its mines. Now we are en- teJing an era never before 90 bright and forceful for great good results to the prospector and miner. North cru Arizona, with Yavapai county iu the lead, is particularly fortunate iu attracting capital and energetic workers to its vast and varied min eral fields.
 The latest and best element of de velOpmeut for this section is that now being iuaugursted by the Ari. zons Eastern and Montana com pauy, through its president, Henry B. Clifford. This company is nov operating a large smelting plant al Spokane, Wash. and contemplate the erection of similar works al Guaymas, Sonora.
 Their enterprise recognizes the great opportunity afforded by Pres, colt as site for a large and com plete shelter. Its central position in large mineral area and its rail road facilities, together with the proven value of developed ore bodies assure success. The distance from here to all large custom smelters is great and transportation expensive A couple of years ago Silver City was similarly situated, and although the field from which 1t secured bus mess Is more limited than that IT, tiguous to Prescott, 1t has been a grand success and IS now so rushed with business that 1t IS doubling its capacity. That which has been done at Silver City eau cert ainly be accomplished here.
 This company as a beginning have secured the Big Bug .smelter and will rruovate and start it up at once ou custom ores. Later on the exact location in this vicinity will be de- termined for 200-ton plant, having every facility for the best treatment of all classes of ores Special atten- ton will be accorded the peculiar ities of the different ores. The methods of treatment will be the latest and most economical.
 A. B. Gibson, of considerable min ing experience, will have charge of their affairs.

ANOTHER BIG MINING SALE.

 Henry 8. Clifford & Co.

After an exhaustive study of the copper belt from the United Verde to Copper Mountain. between which two points are located the Equator mine, so long in litigation and recently acquired by Senator W. A. Clark, and the Binghamton mine now worked by Adams, Pssey & Bailey, Henry B. Clifford & Go, of New York, have bought from |. T. Stoddard the Easy Boss and Cover nor Teddy mines located in the gap of Copper Mountain, south of the main workings of the Stoddard Cop per company.
 A. B. Gibson, of Montana, Mir. Clitford's engineer, says that in this saddle, in his opinion will be found st reasonable depth, concentra- tion of all the ore deposits and veins 90 prominent in Copper Noun tain. The shaft of the Easy Boss shows the same character of mineral as was cut by the 700-foot tunnel in Copper Mountain at a depth of $50 feet and bears striking similarity to the sulphide ores found in the United Verde at 300 feet. In both the Governor Teddy and the Easy Boss the mineral is in place and shows strong, we'll defined body of oxides and sulphurets, mining 35 per cent copper and Sl0 gold. MT. Gibson says that the leached ground at this point should not be O.

Barrett who drove him to Nhipple where De spent ssF- esal hours making personal exaua7 nation Of the place and conditions. While he was very relicant ia reeara 10 expressing any definite opinion he stated ln general sAy that there is no doubt about the place being re- established ss . military post. He also expressed himself a being very faForably impressed with the cli- maile conditions Which exist here aud thinks ii sn ideal piacs for sta-
 
 tioniag sick soldiers on their return from Cuba or the Philippines. AproPos ot the renewal of this su5leca, there has been consideFahls comment in regard to a recent article ID the Courier on whipple barracks.
