 ..,A r-, EBI,an5V states
 that J. J. Fraser Of Pinal county re-
 c-ived an offer this morning Of sl-3OO,-
 on for a copper mine on the Copper
 river, Alaska, about I.5 miles from Sika- \ New York syndicate made
 up of Standard Oil people made the offer. Fraser telegraphed an accept ance and left for New York 10 close
 the deal. Three years ago Fraser
 s.aked Jack Smith, a cowboy on the ! Fraser cattle ranch to go tO hunt gold
 in Alaska. After long and wearing
 search Smith failed 10 find much gold
 and was en route home via Sitka, when
 he found the copper vein and located
 claims for five miles and experts de clare they contain the largest body of
 ore ever found. IL is a very interest ing story, but il seems hardly likely
 that such a price would be paid for an
 undeveiOped property in any country.
 The following particulars of one of
 the many CObre Grande law suits,
 copied from the New York Times, will
 prove interesting to all mining men: 1 Alex NJ.
