i The following info4 4hatlon from the Hillsboro Advocate.si is of interest to
 many people in this section, who have
 invested heavily in Clifton Company
 shares:
 A test Of the merits of concentrat- ing tables recently made at the Wild Cat mine, this distSict, which will be of interest to your readers. Two new Standard and two Wilfev tables being
 used for the test. Nour correspondent |
 was at the Wild Cat mill and watched
 for some timo the interesting test then
 being made It was noted that the Standard was making cleaner concsn- trates with less water than the Wiley, l but the amount lost in tailings could
 not be ascertained, nor the number Of tons concentrated into one. In the
 opinion of the writer it seems a close
 margin that either table will be de-
 clared winner. Speaking of the Wild
 Cat mine and mill, this is new mill throughout and is one of the most per 1 fectly arranged mines and mills in the country, it being simply ideal in its perfection. The entire credit for it's
 erection Is given to Millman Wilkie who has been on the ground from date
 of commencement to present time. This mill handles the ore from the
 mine. some sixty feet away, turning same into concentrates at soc per ton, | gross output of mine. |"
 The ERA will add that c. H. Wilkie | Is one of the best known and most com peteut millmen in the southwest. Un-
 der his managels.Is the plant is sure l to be success
 1 In this issue of the ERA will be found the advertisement Of the Home Copper company offering 50,000 shares of its ! treasury stock for sale at the reason able price of 35 cents per share. The
 property of the company consists Of 23 claims near MOrenci, and a millsite on 1 Eagle river with an abundance of good
 water. The company was organized last spring, with capital stock of 5OO,- 900 shares, of par value of Sl.OO each. The property was purchased from its original locator, w. l.. Jinkins, for one-half Of its treasury stock, the re-
 maining shares being placed in its treasury for development purposes.
 Its first offer of 50,O00 shares, was sub- scribed for by the citizens of Morenci and Clifton within few days after it was placed on the market, aud the money derived from the sale of the stock is being expended in the develop ment of the property. The property is well located, and within short distance of some of the biggest and best producing mines of Morenci, which have materially assisted in making
 Arizona famous for her copper output. The directors, and in fact all of the shareholders, are home people, who are familiar with the property, and who have every confidence that it will
 become q dividend payer by the time all of the treasury stock shall have been sold and the money expended in the development of the mines. The directors and other officials of the company are all wellknown and prom. inent citizens, and in asking the public to join them in this enterprise they do so with the belief that they have prop erty which will bear the investigation of those wishing to take advantage of | a low price stock, and with guarantee that every dollar derived from the sale of stock will at once be expended in the further development of the proper ty. There is nothing of the wildcat order about this proposition. It is legitimate mining enterprise and will be conducted in raight-forward and buSinesS-like manner. The directors and management make no promises as to dividends, but they have put their own money into it, and now ask their friends and the public generally to join them Tn the enterprise, that they may continue the development work on more extensive scale. The company has recently issued a prospectus, setting forth all facts in regard to the proper ty, which investors can have by calling on or addressing R. J. Young, fiscal agent, Clifton, or R. H. Waugh, secre- tary, Morenci, Arizona.
