NOTICE.


 This company will place is smclter in op ration during the first two weeks in October. On and after September goth it is prepared 70 rec i've ship ments of ore and concentrates. It will be pleased to quote rates, etc, to those in a position to make shipm, nts, and to receive average samples of such ores as 1t is intended to ship, which will be ana'yzed free, and make quotations for same f. 0. b. point of shipment.
 In writing kindly advise from what railroad point shipm5 nts will be made, about when, how often, and what the tonnage will probably consist of; also, approximately, the kind of ore, and grade of concentrates that would be shipped.
 It is the cOmpany's policy and ln- tention to favor the miner wherever possible, compatible with fair profit, and to establish a market for "homa" product It thus expects to merit, anu hopes to receive hearty co-ops ra- tion from al' interested in the estab- lishment and building up of home in- dustri5s.
 In order to compete with outside SLclts rs, on account of being situated so far from the source of fuel supply, and market for it's products (thus hav- ing to contend with heavy freight charges in these two rlspects), the company Is installing the Pyritic sys- tenn of smelling, by which it hopes to ssen materially the consumption of fuel, and receive other advantages, which will enable it to operate cheaply. 1his additional pyrltic machinery which entails an extra expense upon the company of about tn thousand dollars to install, is now being ship ped.
 The smelter Is new, modern and com plete in every respect. of large capac- ity. and so constructed as to be. oper- atoi at a minimum of expense. These advantages taken in conjunction with the pyritic system of smslting, al re- Gound 10 the benefit of the shipper.
 The Standard Smelting & Refining company recently secured a site at Val Verde for the erection of a GUS tom concentrating mill, and has just let a contract to the Colorado Iron Works company for lhe erection of same. This mill will be completed about the commenceme of Novem- bsr; 1t will be large, and comprise all the latest improvements requir q by modern practise in conc 5ntGting diff ferent vari ties of custom ores. About 25O, eco los. of machinery will be ship ped in the nsXt thirty days, and the company will, from time to time, in- stall special machinery for the hand IA. ( s- nf rrraH oles from large shipp IFS. It wil op- crate in conjunction with the shelter. Although ths two companies are sep arate coI poratiOns, inasmuch as the product of the mill will ultimately be treated by the smelter, and the two plants form adiuncts to each other, they will work in harmony. As the mill hears competitor, further infoi- nation in reference to same, milling rates, etc, will be issued by the milling company,
 The mill will handle ores that can not be treated by smeHing without being first concentrated. thus enabling the owners of low grade ore proper ties to have their ores concentrated at a minimum of expense, for final treat ment by the shelter; hsnce the loca- ton of these two home industries in central Arizona will make profitable many mines and prospects that do not at the present time permit of davei- Cpment,
 The Santa Fe. Prescott & Phoenix Railway, and the Prescott Eastern Railroad have made especially favor able freight rates to Val Verde, with d view of cooperating with the smell ter in dcve,oping the mining resources of central Arizona, and in helping the miner to produce comparatively low gradt orc, which heretofore would not permit of handling on account of the long. and thus expensive freight haul.
 The company will be pleased at any time to have intending shippers, or those interested, to visit Val Verde, and inspect the plant and facilities.
 CoGsignmepts solicited (especialy of high grade sulphide copper ores), whet ther large CT small, and corrs spon- dtnce invited.
