Arizona Gazette Publishes Statement
That, to Say the Least, Is Fsol%
iSh and FiShy, Too

W j &ENBURG, 4 ARlZ NOV. IS-
= John \. Clark, tnanci Il agent
of the Angel Consolidated Min
ing Coiftpahy, today lSsu, d the
statement that on december ist
work on the company's property
would be resumed \ force of
fifty men will be employed to
sink the main shaft, alre ady
down 300 feet, to a depth of 500
feet. George f.. Sadders pres
ident of the company; left yes
terday for New \ ork to attend
the annual meeting of the stock
holders He will return here
and assume charge of the work
at the mine. Gazette.
The above is IL sample of those
homemade dispatches which DO q
country vastly more harm than it
can Go the property good. Ii the
dispatch had SAID that they were
going 10 put fifty meh at work on
The Angel mine, it would not look
SO bad, but Tor The company to- put
fifty men at work sinking 1t verti-
cal shaft from the 2UU loot TO the
500 tooL level is II new wrinkle in
mining And the Angel lsequlpped
with good gasoline hoist and the
Shaft, so far as 1T has been driven,
is Il good piece Of work, and ii three
shifts should be put to work to-
shove that Shaft down as quickly
as pos sible, we can not figure out
where there would be any use for
nifty men. Unless II full force of
stenographers is put on, there
would be little use for the spare
men tnat force of fifty men would
certainly afford, if sinking is all
that MI Sanders company is
thinking of doing And from the
information that we have of the
Angel Company's property we
think that sinking is all that will
be done AZ the present time Any
one who knows anything about
mining knows how many men
could be worked in shaft to ad-
vantage.
ru Now, there is one of two things;
-the Gazette either prevarlcated or
the gentleman who sent out that
report prtvarleated, unless itsLould
turn out that neither one of them
knew what hey were talking about.
1t does look us if it was y sly dodge
on the part OF the Angel Mining
Company to sell few blocks of
stock. Now. this may he "a rank
injustice to the company. If it is,
1t is not our fault. Any one who
knoSs anything at all about mining
will see the flaws in that dispatch,
which the Gazette man follows by
a lot Uf fine drawn-out talk about
how much benefit Phoenix will reap
from the operations referred tc. 1t
will be taken anywhere, and by
any one, except the greenest kind
of people, as mere boom talk. 1t
will hurt the country and it will
hurt the Angel mine, and if the
company has man III charge who
made that talk, it should lake a
new start. The time for false BOOM
ing has come 10 an end in this vi
cinity, for the NeNs-Herald sands
ready to give The right interpreta-
tion to all such stories that come
to its notice, and it is on the look-
out Tor them.
We may lose the patronage Of a
lot OF fake mine promoters by
coming out and calling things by
their right names, but we are going
to proceed on that theory any way.
We do not wish to he understood
as saying that the Angel company
is fake, for it has a reasonably
good showing to work on, and if it
proceed with discretion will make
a mine of the proposition, but ii
it puts Fifty men to do the work OF
twelve it will spoil the proposition
and rob those who pat confidence
