(From Fridays Daily)
 Through the filing of articles of in- corporation of the George Byron Seammell Investment Company, noted in detail below, it is indirectly given out that the town of Mayer is soon to be put on the market on a big real es- tate plan, and sale of lots held in a manner familiar among the people in the boom sections in California, and Los Angeles in particular. For sev- eral weeks past there has been heard hints of the proposed taking over of the town site or such of it as has not already been sold, by new com pany.
 Articles of incorporation of the George Byron Seammen Investment Company were yesterday filed for re- cord in this county, the ineorporators being residents of Los Angeles eoun- ty, Cal This new company is made up of G. B. Seammell, H. D. Clark, Fred A. Pollock, R. L. Forsyth, and Frederick W. Armstrong, all of whom reside in or about the City of Angels where Seammell, who is well known here is now conducting a real estate business.
 The capital stock of the company is given as S25,O0O divided into twen- ty-fve shares valued at s1,OOO each The object of the company is to handle investments of all descriptions, inelud- ing mines, railroads, water rights, and development, pipe lines, and realty of all kinds.
 Officers for the first year at c. B. Seammell, president; F. W. Armstrong, viee-president; R. L. Forsyth, seere- tary; Harry D. Clark, treasurer. The first board of directors include Messss- Pollock. Seammell, Clark, Armstrong, and Forsyth. The company will op- crate in Arizona deals, and will make their principal place of business in Prescott.
 The fact that the incorporation of the new company was filed for record here yesterday, and thatPresident Geo. Seammell, who is well known here, and who was not many months ago engaged in selling lots in Mayer, has ioated this proposition, leads to the general belief that something will be doing within short time. In con nection with the interests of the new corporation is the agency for a group of fine claims tributary to Mayer, and all in all this move may result in an old-time boom in the town of Mayer
 Among other proposed attractions to be at once offered to the public is A reported health resort to be built in the town of Mayer, on a plan of such proportions as to make it big feature of the many attractions the town will offer to investors looking for "snaps-" The story goes that the excellent water supply of the town will likewise be used as an advertising medium to at- tract attention among those who under stand the conditions in this section, and that the ore working plants now under construction there and such as are to be erected in future and now in operation, will be fully exploited in describing the splendid advantages of the town.
 George Seammell it seems has re- turned to his old line of business in preparing to boom this townsite, and among his old time friends is known to be well up in the business. Active, resourceful, clever as to detail and par ticularly able in this line of business, he will make a success of the deal if success is possible.
 Thus far nothing definite is to be learned of the matter, although the California papers have already men tioned the new company and it's pro feet. It will not be at all surprising if Yavapai county is soon to be treat ed to a modern, latest improved and full fledged townsite boom, with all the trimmings pertaining thereto.
