do these men take chances such as
these? Simply because what other com
panies have done in the suburbs of
! Bisbee, they believe they can do. The
Calumet and Arizona did the same
thing, and has today one Of the copper

struck a splinter before a thousand

as a cold storage full of ham. yet they

about 200 and 500 respectively. Now the

are above the same unfailing deposit;

way they do business in the Warren
district. Stringers. lodges and blow
outs do not go with them-they are
strictly after the big thing. and they

SAN CARLOS STRIP
Its Recent Segregation From the

Frank Boston, with two assistants.
IS at work on the San Carlos copper
claims Superintendent S. Berray, who
is the local agent for the company, left
mere for the mines last Monday. Efforts
have been made for several years to
have this mineral strip segregated from
the San Carlos Indian reservation, and
it was accomplished less than three
weeks ago. says the Globe Silver Bel.
A company, of which Prof James
Douglas is president, owns the San
Carlos group OF eighteen or twenty cop
per claims. The company is also ne
gotiating fer the O'Brien claims, ad-
joining. and has money deposited in :,
Tucson bank to complete the purchase
whenever O'Brien can give clear title
to the property. On the company's
claims are hundreds of thousands of
tons of low grade ore and some of
higher quality. The O'Brien property
consists Of a mountain of ore that viii
run TO Z per cent in copper.
Newman and Fred Golden have To-
Gated a dam site on the ella, about
three miles above the San Carlos mines,
in a narrow canyon where the bluffs
rise perpendicular for $50 feet, forming
an ideal dam site, where sufficient
power could be developed to generate
electricity to run all the mines within
fifty miles. The site is about eight
miles from Troy. ten miles from Kelvin
and twenty from Mammoth.
