The Home Copper company organ
f lied at Norenci Saturday last by elect
ing the following officers: John II.
Bolton. president; 5. G. Tuthill. vice
president; D. Loeb and F. J. Garret
directors; and r. H. Waugh, secretary
and treasurer. John Molder, one OF
the locators Of the mines, was elected
as superintendent. Since the charter
was applied for the company pur-
chased about fifteen more claims. max
ing a group OF thirty claims, and mill
site on Eagle creek. The claims ara
in a well mineralized portion of the
Morenci district and all of them show
more or less mineral on the surface,
with considerable development work
on some of the claims. y new within
was put on the main shaft OF the Pea
cock. which has reached depth OF
l25 feet. Double shifts are being work
ed in the shaft. and the work is pro-
crossing most favorably. AS the name
implies, the Home Copper company is
a home organization, all OF the stock
being owned at Morenci and Clifton.
The company has ample funds in its
treasury for the next three months,
when another small block of stock will
be placed on the market. Every dol
lar derived from the sale %. treasury
stock is expended in the development
OF the property, which is free from in
debtedneSs. The former owners OF
the property, Messrs. Jinkins and
Molder, are old time, highly respected
citizens, who are not afraid of work.
In fact they have not only spent their
time on the property, but also a con-
siderable amount of money. No men
in the district stand higher in the
estimation of the people than Messrs.
Jinkins and Molder, and in fact all of
the officers are we'll known and respect
ed citizens. The Home Copper COM
pany starts out under most favorable
circumstances. and bids fare to become
one of the big companies of the dis
trict. Those who wish to take flyer
at a company whose affairs will be
economically handled, and which has Il
number of most excellent prospects,
will do we'll to address the secretary,

MINE AND MINING NEWS.

main shaft has been sunk TO depth oil
100 feet and in all over 300 feet Of de-
YelOpment work has been done on the
claim. Over $1,000 worth of ore has
been shipped from the Klondike under
their management.
One of the best showing claims in
the camp at the present time is the
Archie mine, owned by Messrs. Ma
roney. Sublett and Martyr The shaft
has been sunk TO depth of 20 feet, and
a good sized vein of high grade copper
ore has been encountered, which is be-
ing stored on the dump for shipment.
CENTRAL.
Another rich strike is reported from
the gold discovery recently made on
on Whitewater creek in the vicinity of
Central. D. E. Butler and George
Sanders, who have lease and bond on
the Gold Finch mine, owned by the
Copper Box Mining company, a Color
ado corporation, have opened up some
fine ground at the depth of six feet,
plentifully streaked, which gives assays
of SOC to the ton. The character of
the ground would indicate that it will
prove very profitable cyanide propo-
sition and If future tests substantiate
the surface finds, negotiations will be
entered into for the erection of a plant.
The discovery OF gold in this locality
has attracted considerable attention
and twenty-five men are seeking the
hidden wealth within a radius of a
mile. The deepest working is only
fifty feet. Considerable quantities of
ore have already been extracted. Some
Of the ore is found in streaks and
stringers, but several rich pockets
have been uncovered. The best values
are obtained by banning, but ship
ment of milling ore recently made gave
net returns OF Sll0 to the ton. The
ground was worked in years gone by
by the Spanish and Indians, but all Of
the old workings have been filled up,
and the appearance of the same would
indicate that it was done with the idea
of destroying all trace of the mines.
