A BIG COPPER MINE
Rosy Prospects for Property Located
 Near This City.

J. A. Porterie, the assayer, spent Sunday examining the Slocum group of mines located twenty miles north of Phoenix and after making some 0s- says of the specimens said yesterday that he believed the prOcerty could be developed into one of the biggest cop per mines in the territory. "Th re should be a smelter and 200 men at work on the property" said Porter'e
 The mines were formerly owned by John c. Harden but recently he turn ed them into the Walapai Mining com pany The company is now preparing to begin active work developing the mines and the favorable report of the assayer will probably result in tEe work being ccrrted on vigorously.
 The group includes five claims. MT. Porterie says he found large deposits of copper ore on the surface without having been worked. He says there is a. copper dike forty feet wide and un- derneath the surface he says there is one of the biggest mines in the country. The croppinss are similar to those O. the Globe and Morenci districts, and are rich in copper.
