 El Paso News: The sale of the Congress mine near Prescott for 5000, 900 recalls the fact that few years ago the district was condemned by leading member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, on ac- count of surface indications.

company, and on whose recommenda- tIon the sale was made has examined these properties and advised the pur- chase, as also did MT. c $. Pitcairn, a noted Scotch expert, who was sent out for the special purpose of examining this group. The property will be under the management of L. A. Dun- ham. Some months ago a prominent Montana mining man, who had been up to Clifton, and looked the copper country over, told the Liberal that in a few years "Clifton would be the Butte of the southwest" Since then the Shannon company the General Electric company and this company have purchased large properties in the camp, and the present indications are that the man from Montana was prophet. For with all these com panies putting out copper in addition to the Arizona and Detroit companies the output of the Clifton country will exceed that of Butte.

or the union. Their names and date OF
