The Richmond Passenger and power

The Richmond Passenger and Power
Company has about completed plans for
the establishment of pleasure-grounds at
the New Reservoir Park, which viii prove
source of delight 10 thousands OF Rich
mond and Manchester people. The COM
pany will be known as the Richmond
Electric Park and Amusement Com
pany.
Tor several weeks the company has had
the matter under consideration, and has
at last decided that this city should have
such a suburban resort as it is proposed
10 build.
It is understood that the company has
about agreed TO back the scheme OF
Mr.. J. II. Livingston. the Philadelphia
promoter, who is erecting the proposed
pleasure pier at Newport News. Mr. LiV-
angston has plans prepared providing
large swimming pool with lou INDIVIDUAL
dressing-rooffas, Two casino buildings,
shooting galleries, a clubhouse where re-
freS1ments viii be served and numerous
attractions TO draw the people to the
lake. The place is TO be converted INTO
such a resort as Electric Park, Balti-
more.
The SPOT which it is proposed to turn
into the pleasure ground is Immediately
east Of the New Reservoir lake. and is
Leo feet long by $50 feet wide. 1t is beau
tifully arranged geographically. and is
are three springs there and the place
is really romantic in appearance
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
The cost of the Improvements under
Mr.. L.yingston's plan is about s10o.ooo
This includes the expense Of the large
swimming pool. which is to be about $50
feet square and lined with granolith.
It ds SAID that the Passenger and Power
Company viii have nothing to do with
the resort further than to own some Of
the stock. a new company will be or
gantzed to build and operate the pleasure
grounds.
The idea is to have at the lake almost
every sort of amusement Of an innocent
character and to have the place so con-
Quoted that ladies and children can go
there for an all-day outing with the as.
surance that they will have every pro-
lection.
One of the paHilions will be used exclu-
sirely for dancing parties, picnics. etc.
As soon as the company and Mr.. Lvi.gs-
ton come TO terms work viii be COM
menced on the grounds, which are to
be ready for the people by the first Of
next summer

PROFESSOR NEWELL, Photographer of the United States Geological Survey, recently stated regarding the San Car los reservoir, for the building of which our congressional delegate, Gen. J. F. Wilson, is exerting himself in Wash ington: "The surveys and estimates for ( the supply of the Indian reservation show that while there are at least three good localities, the cost of water storage is so great that only one of these-that at San Carlos-can be considered. The cost of this reservoir will aggregate, in round numbers, $1,000,000. It's con struction will, however, not only insure water for the Indians, but also for con- siderable area of public lands, which can be disposed of at price sufficiently great to largely repay the original in vestment. The matter, as business proposition for the government, must appeal favorably to the common sense of every one. It is apparent that some. thing must be done to provide water for the Indians, and that to demonstrate our ability to govern new peoples we must show better record for those now in our care."

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company.
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation tor about twenty years, and employs about 1,50O men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000, ,000 pounds during the year 1898. and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over S2, ,OOO O0n and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em ploy for years, that the Queen min } now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de VelopCnent.
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as ble, when it is within such close proximity to such a won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and hea, d at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners Of these valu- able mines are local business men, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterpl .se a success in every respect. The board C.. dil ectors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and linn ited number of shares are offered at twenty five C. per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be &C., cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion.
 Every cent received from the sale of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment Of our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise a success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally author ized representatives.
