Saginaw Man TALKS ABOUT THE RICH
 BiSbee District
BECENT VISITORS HERE SPEAK OF ARIZONA MINING IN
 FLATTERING TERMS.
tion- Watts s. Humphrey Who Figured In the Organization ef the Saginaw Development company-He Also Tells About Copper Queen Offer.

Hon. Watts s. Humphrey and Hon. w B. MeTshon have returned from Arizona and California, according to the Saginaw Courier-Herald. We had a delightful trip said MT. Mershon, -'I believe Arizona to be richer in mineral wealth than any other state or territory in the United States and fhe development in this particular is etill in its infancy. The territory pro duces gold, silver and copper and min. erals We rode from Fl Paso from early in the morning until late in the afternoon over the Fl Paso & South western railroad to Bisbee. AriZ. which is one of the greatest mining camps in the world. The camp is in tbe mountains, having an altitude of ever 5000 feet.
 None but Americans aTe employ ed in the mines, although some MeXicaBs are employed above me mines. The Copper Queen company is declaring dividends of s100,000 every monfn and it has years of high grade copper ore in sight. There are three other mining companies at Bisbee, the CaIu- met & Arizona. Calumet & Pittsourg and Lake Superior & Pittsburg, all being mostly owned by Calumet and Pittsburg people, and every one a sue cess, having developed large quanti- sies of ore.
 Saginaw Development Company
 We had an option on mining property there. which We closed out. The claim was first opened by a min CT some years ago, who explored it
 
 a good proposition, and, being also en- gagged in other ventures, he could not give attention to this There is about 2i0 acres in the claim and people who are familiar with the surroundings are satisfied that it is a pretty good pros poet. l. cost the purchasers about $25D,O00 and the work of opening the claim has already commenced. About Sl0e,000 will be expended the present year and before it is fully developed il is likely 70 absorb nearly a million dollars
 The name of the company organ;z- @eG to operate this property is the Saginaw Development company, so you will see that Saginaw is being honored far from home.'
 MT. Mershon is president of the Saginaw Development company and Prank Harrington of Bisbee is secre- tary. The directors are W. B. Mer- xhon. W. s. Humphrey, Selwyn Eddy, Fred l.. Harrington and Frank Ha"- Eingtoa. Mir. Humphrey said last night that the Copper Queen owners wele offered s6G.0o0.00 for their property less than five years ago and declined the proposition withoGt giving Il scarcely any respectful consideration He said in his opinion the Bishee camp is the 5est -oc per proposition yet discovered in the world. The Calu- set ss Arizona is the wonderful mine That has made @ mary Michigan cop per country peo3.s ricn within the past year or two.

ARIZONA PAPER PRESENTS FA WORKABLE VIEW OF PROPERTY CONTROLLED HERE
 GREAT GROWTH IS
 PREDICTED.

Recently the editor of the Mesa Press visited the mining camp ot Superior, in Pinal county, which bids fair to become enc of the biggest copper and gold producing camps in the territnry if net in the United States. The camp is located three miles east of Pinal, at the foot oi the Pinal mountains. where the Queen Creek cuts through. The town at present consists mainly of primitive board houses and many tents. There is a store, postoffice boarding house, blacksmith shop, etc A few of the residences are fitted uI for permanent dwellings, and the presence of ladies is shown by lace curtains, flowers and exterior deccra tion. The comforts of home are talk. ing the place of "roughing it. that characterizes all new towns.
 At present the camp is dependen, entirely upon the operation of the Arizona & Lake Superior Mining com pany. This company owns a group of seven claims, which are being de veloped according to modern meth ods. A great deal of work has been done and the mine is proving to be a bonanza in every sense of the word A shaft sunk 120 feet on the lowest part of the ground shows a continu- ous body of ore carrying gold. Il is said that returns of 20 ounces per ton are had from this shaft. The ledge along which the claims are To- cated outcrops the entire length oi in rsx feet wiCe. Tunnels have been run on the ledge for several hundred feet and a rough estimate of the ore in sight and opened for stoping is plac- ed at from s2,00O. 900 to s3,OoO, ,OOO
 The management of the company are giving out no facts for publication for the reason that they are just now bending every energy 10 the develop ment of the mine.
 New machinery is being installed as fast as possible. Scores of teams are freigthing in fire brick, lumber, air drills, and the parts of a new 120- horse power boiler and air com presscr. As soon as ready for busi- ness several hundred men will be put to work.
 A Smelter IS also one Of the plans of the company. but all these require time.
 The freighting for the camp is done from Florence, % miles distant
 Five miles north of Superior is the home of the famous Silver King mine, and there is no question but that from the King south for many miles lies one of the richest mineral sec ticns in Arizona.
 Adjoining the Superior on the south William Wilson owns four locations made along the great ledge Little development has been done on these claims but sufficient to show that he has continuation of the same ore bodies opened on the Superior short option is now held on these claims at good round figure, and they will probably pass to the control of company able to develop them There is a wonderful field for the rractical mining man, with money, in that section, and 1t is only a ques ton of short time until this will be realized and the hills become the scene of a big mining boom.

the compilations of the shaft, and if the ledge continues in the course it now indicates. will run a tunnel that will tap the vein at depth of six hundred feet. The samples of cop Der ore on exhibition at the office. of Superintendent Dunbar are exception. ally good specimens of surface ore. With depth and development the prospects are favorable to number this among the best properties along the range, for copper is king, Cochise county the castle, the Dragoon noun tains the throne. The company has no stock for sale, and is organized for legitimate mining only. The officers and directors of the company are: W. W. Dunbar, superintendent and agent; Lee Wee, president; Gnu c.

 The foundation will be completed by next Monday, and the Fl Paso Foundry & Machine company will i'm nediately begin the erection of the steel stack which is to be 200 feet in height and 14 feet in diameter.
 The power house at the new smelter is practically completed and IS now being painted. The power house is big structure-S2x144 feet. M contains two sets of Stirling boil CTS tand another set is yet to go tut, d us DiOWluS enSlHe, two large Mowers and a generator.
 At the new shaft the steel head Frame has been In use for 10 days and the hoist has got the newness UpTn of and is running smoothly. The foundation is being put in for tbe companion hoist, which will be moved from the old shaft in three or fspr weeks. Grading is in progress sn the east side of the gallows frame fer ore bins to be eighty feet in length. The ore hoisted through the new shaft will be dumped directly in fo these bins and carried by a belt oonveyer to the bins at the end of the boiler house, and from these Bins will be delivered into the ore ears and hauled to the smelter.
 Preparations have begun to install a Prescott pump of 1500 gallons per minute capacity, On the 10th level station. The foundation for this pump will be put in next week. The dimensions of the 10th level station are e2x15 feet.
 Sinking was discontinued 20 feet xsiow the 10th and the shaft force A now engaged in raising from the 1zsh level. On the 10th a new cross sut is being driven to directly con- rect the two shafts.-Silver Belt.

Producing as Much Gre as Ever.

All the furnaces at the Copper Queen smelter in Bisbee are running full blast. The usual amount of bullion is being shipped, and a full force of men is working about the jackets and converters. From this it does not look as though the Bis bee plant would be closed down very soon. The Douglas plant is running all but two of the furnaces, and they are nearly ready for operation, yet there is no let up in the production of the Bisbee plant.

 April Il, 1904
 As shareholders of the company, you are entitled to knoy. that when stock was selling readily at s10O per share or par the former treasurer. MT. John Dessart, of Nogales, Arizona, threw his large holding on the market. At special meeting of the directors at Nogales in April, 1903, the books of the treasurer were ordered east. which books did not arrive until July. They were in such condition hat the services of an expert, MT. Robt. Williams of Utica, were required 10 put them in order. He discovered that a duplicate issue had been made in January. 1903, by John Dessart. who, when this condition was placed before him, claimed the issue was an error and replaced the fifty thousand shares, purchasing same of sharehold- CTS and returning them to us through our attorney, Frederick s. Nave, U. s. district attorney, TUson, Arizona Since the recovery of the company's stock MT. Dessart has been arrested by the creditors of the bank of which

 The books of the company snow that m expenditure of more than sIO0, 900 has been made on the Sonora proper ties.
 We own a fully established camp. with well equipped assay office, black smith shop, houses for Manager and employees, and considerable machin- cry ;also large amount of ore piled up for u1S when tsulphfdes are reached.
 We believe the affairs of the com pany were never in as promising con- dition as at present This means of success are within our grasp and with the support of the stockholders we cannot fail. We would point out the fact that the stock is in he hands of investors, and therefore, if all hold ings are increased within thirty days, 1t the rate suggested in the directors report just issued, we can be turn Ing out bullion at a profit before the winter holidays.
