1901 has been made public in Los
Angeles. 1t shows the company to be
in easy financial circumstances, the
balance of cash on hand at tho close of
the year haying been $2l5,000. Work
on the foundation for Il smclter has
been commenced and if nothing unfor-
seen happens the probabilities are
good for Arizona having another cop
per producer about the beginning Of
next year. The claims of the company
are near Bisbee. Reports state that
the ore does not go high in copper, six
or seven per cent. being given as the
assay returns but it also carries some

J. ID. Van Bergh, who was one of the
lOcatOrs of the Catherine mine near
Kingman, now owned by the New Com
stock Mining company, is the central
figure in an elopement in San Francisco.
Van Den Bergh sold his interests in
the mines in Mohavo county at a good
figure and was supposed to be on the
high road to wealth. He was ordain-
ed As a minister something over year
ago and he was assigned to Potervillc
as assistant pastor OF the Methodist
church. He left the ministry and en-
gagged in horse trading, assigning as
reason that he was tired of preaching
things he did not believe. The young
lady with whom he eloped and to whom
he is supposed to have become welded
was n Miss Grace Askins, stenog-
rapher in San Francisco milk dis
pensary.
The Times learns from good author
ity that custom smelter will be erect
ol in Globe, IN the near future, regard
less of tho few moss backs of Globe
who arc trying to do everything poSsi
bic to discourage the enterprise. Such
people are really menace to any
town. What Globe needs are enter
prising business men. Those VIC have
are handicapped by the old foSics,
who should take back seat for they
are really detrimeut to the town.
The smelter that is in contemplation
is good thing tor the prospectors and
small mine owners, as they get their
ores smelted, even running as low as
per cent which will enable them to
get funds to develop their claims and
in many cases the prospects would de-
velop into good paying mines, so by all
means encOuraua the prOmotarS Of the
scheme.
