BAU MANN COPPER COMPANY.
A Visitors Opinion of ths Property as We'll as of the Men Who Compose
 the Company

H. A. Suttle, eastern representative of the Baumann Copper company, made visit recently to this section for the purpose of making a thorough examination of the Baumann Copper company's property as well as an in vestigation of the men who compose the company. After his return to the east he wrote as follows concerning the conclusions arrived at by him:
 ''I have just returned from three weeks trip to the mining districts of Arizona, the greater part of my time keing spent with the Baumann Cop per company people. l put in about two days at the camp (which, by the way, is an ideal place. and I enjoyed it very much and our genial secretary and general manager, Mir. Jules Bau- mann, took great pride in showing up this great property.
 q can consistently say that l be- lieve that all the officers of the com pany are exerting themselves and do- ing everything possible to open up this magnificent property.
 All work was being concentrated on the Laura shaft where one of the best double compartment shafts l ever saw was being pushed to the 5OO foot depth, while the shaft on the Swiss girl was about 80 feet and ready for the timbers, which to my mind, when reasonable depth is at tained, will open up one of the lar gest and richest ore bodies in Ari- zona.
 "I went to the bottom of both shafts and the richness and large quantities of ore in sight would sur prise almost anyone and would satisfy the most conservative investor in the world of the excellent show for fabu- lous returns on the investment of a few dollars at the present time.
 ''The great copper deposits are manifest on the surface everywhere, and can be traced from one end of the property to the other.
 "About noon, the second day, my brother, MT. Baumann and myself started for the new Val Verde Copper company's big smelter and concen- trating plants two and one-half miles away. which of course did not take us a very long time to reach, as the roads were splendid and down grade most of the way. We were cordially treated here by Mir. Davis the sup erintendent, and MT. Burns, the ore buyer, and it was a great treat to us to see how perfectly these immense plants were being run, while the great piles of ore and massive ma chinery was simply beautiful to be- hold. These plants speak volumes for the territory surrounding them.
 MT. Davis and Mir. Burns were en- thusiastio over the great future ln store for them and informed me that they were already compelled to double the capacity of the plants at once and that the mines in that dis trict would surprise the world when once opened up.
 "Where there was one mine whistle year ago. there are now about twelve, and close on to 1000 men are being employed.
 As previously stated, it is the in tention of the Baumann Copper com pauy to sink both shafts 800 feet as rapidly as possible and fully open up the ore bodies. When this is done, great will be the reward" for those who laid their little prejudices aside and were wise enough to get a block of Baumann Copper company stock.
 "The treasury is in good shape anc for the present ample funds are or hand to proceed with more develop ment and no more stock will be sold than is absolutely necessary for th' working of the mines"
