COPPER PROPERTIES.
New Workers Are Interested in De-
vsIoping Copper Mines.
COL. T.B. MILLS PRESIDENT OF COMPANY

Col. T. b. Mills, who was in Ell Paso
on business, passed through the city
on the delayed passenger train yester-
day, en- route to Las Vegas. Col. Mills
is the president of the Midway Con-
solidated Mining company of New
York, with mines in Arizona and New
Mexico. His company recently pur-
chased from Robert N Sniffen, the
Rowena mines, in the Oscura noun
tains, near Estey City, this territory,
and intend to commence extensive de-
velopment work at once.
Colonel Mills stopped long enough
in Ell Paso to be interviewed by the
news as follows:
MY business out here is to close
up the deal for the Midway people and
examine into the companys mines in
Pima county, Arizona We own eleven
claims in Arizona, and, with the nine
which comprise the Rowena group,
gives us twenty very promising prop.
erties-all copper.

wena mines while there last week,
and was much pleased with every
thing | saw. The mine is the Oldest
one in the district and is now down
about 40 feet, following a good vein
of paying ore all the way. Some of the
ore has been smelted under the old
management, and it ran about 23 per
cent copper, while there is now on the
dump about rs tons of 16 per cent
| ore
The contact is one of the finest |
ever saw. and at the 1f0-foot level |
Gus parts of the ore chamber walls,
which are ten feet in dimensions. |
had these samples assayed here, to-
| gether with some at the 60-foot level,
where all the pay ore has been taken
out heretofore. The assays run from
13 per cent copper TO 26 per cent with
some traces of gold.
81 am very well satisfied that the
company has a great property both
in the Oscuras and In Arizona. We
are capitalized at one million dollars
but we are not devoting any time to
stock selling, as enough has already
been bought by New Workers and 9th
ers to carry the mines through to a
paying basis.
THE directors number some good
substantial New York capitalists.
am president, j. w. Strayer of the
Strayer Investment company, 277

Michel J. Corrigan, undertaken, denies
that he engaged in any race for a corpse

the deceased was a member. who ex-
planned to me that they wished me to
take charge of body at the city hospital
Il asked them the name Of the de-
ceased and they told me it was Hugh
Main. They further said that they had
been looking for the dead mans relatives
and being unable to find them, had come
to the conclusions that they would take
charge Of the body and pay the funeral
expenses.
II took my wagon and started for the
Hospital driving it myself. / passed Mr.
McNulty's place of business on Brun-

the door. When ] reached the hospital
was informed that the body had left
that place and that Mr.. McNulty had
taken charge of it, BY consent OF the
dead mans relatives.
Il thought no more of the matter as
Mr.. AreNulty and myself are good
friends. then went to my place of bus
mess and informed the representatives
of the Iron Moulders that Mr. McNulty
had been instructed to take charge Of
the body by the dead mans relatives, and
