MT. Geo. R. Bentel. president. and W. C.

The car was side-t tracked at Tacna and cOnveyances taken to the mines. where the party spent two days. Those of the party interviewed during the stop here were loud in their praise of the proper ", and without exception their predic tion was that nothing can prevent this property taking a position among the great copper producers of Arizona. The stock is now quoted on the exchanges at around S4 per share. a self evident fact that investors have good reason to have faith fin the future of the prop erty. The well-drilling plant at the Hecla Consolidated mines at a depth of 500 feet passed through eight feet of quartz highly impregnsted with copper. Yuma Sentinel
