This Is the age of great mining ss we'll as commercial couso. idations. aud enterprises are daily launched the magnitude of which, whIls they would have startled the public few years ago, today commands the ad- miFation of all who appreciate that large dudertskings are generally beneficial 10 mankind. In mining the larger the enterprise, operated un- der the cooperative principles of stocA companies, the greater POssi- bill.les of success in the combat be- tween silence and money vs. Nature and her hidden treasurers, for achievements impossible 10 individ- ual resources, are simple problems when confronted with the combined influence of thousand stockhold- ers. Daring capital supplied by
 thousands IS responsible Tor the
 worlds greatest commercial, mining
 and mechanical success, aud Yaya-
 pal county is about to feel the Inhu- enee of the most daring mining en-
 terprise since the days when the
 name of the Comstocks weTs famil-
 jar words in all parts of the globe.
 The scarcity of copper and the
 fact that outside of the Arizona mines there IS 8 rapidly diminishing oT ore resources in the Lake Supe-
 rior and Montana regions, will keep the mining world in activity to sup ply the demands for copper, for
 which it seems impossible to hud desirable substitute, aud for the | next i've years there will be marked development in every district that gives promises of paying mines of
 this metal. The worlds largest cap ] italists are alive to this condition O
 affairs, and are searching the cart h ] for copper investment. So this coun- ] ty may expect an influx of daring in-
 vestors as soon as it Is known , that our copper resources cover
 such a wide area that gives evidenee
 of values greater than any other dis
 trict in this territory.
 For several weeks there Las been
 a rumor that q more than important
 mining transaction was m a state of
 crystalizstion. involving the Cliff
 lords. Chicago millionaires and Bos-
 ton speculatOrs, and that when per
 fected, n operation snd listed on the
 stock exchanges of New York, Bos-
 ton and London, would be the cause
 of attracting much attention to our
 county, now in favorable repute
 through its vast resources of copper.
 Mining promoters and engineers have recently flooded this section and many have hinted that in cur
 midst was being lain the foundation of 8 corporation which, if successful,
 would prove to the world that in the
 eastern part of this county would be found the largest bodies of copper ore ever unearthed.
 . The JoURSAL-MINER, always alive , to the interest of its readers, has for ] some time been quietly obtsining z information on this subject and now , for the first time the plans ot the 2 Pride of Arizona Copper company
 recently organized under territorial
 lows, with a capital stock of 5000, a 0OO, are made public.
