 The company has already purchased the famous Copper World mines as well as other mining property in con- nection with same, and the intention is to begin immediate work on the property. The importance of this transaction lies not alone in the opera tion contemplated in connection with the Copper World property, but it means a great deal more. and indirect ly Mohave county will be greatly ben efitted by the operations of this new company. In the first place it will mean large amount of an especially desirable ore supply for the Needles Shelter, which will make it much easier for the Arizona-Mexican Con- pany to grant lower smelting charges on the high silicious sul phide ores of Mohave county. In the second place, the association of the individuals con- prising the management of the Santa Fe railway company, to an outsider, would indicate two things: First, that they themselves, as individuals, have sufficient confidence in the mining pos abilities of this country to invest their own money, and by so doing, they will become even more familiar with mining conditions in this portion of the country than they now are as re- ceivers and carriers of freight, and by their active interest in mining the mining interests in general through out this territory and California can not help but be benefited. Their as sociation with people connected with the Needles shelter also show that they are heartily cooperating with that concern, thus insuring the future welfare of that institution, and incl dentally insuring all of this country a future home market for its ores.
