NEW COUNTRY |s EXCEEO|NCLY
 ACTIVE
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 More enthusiastic than eyer over the possibilities of the new coppcr country opened by the A. X c. railroad, w. c. Bcckman, ono of the experienced prospcctors and explorers of northern Arizona, arrived here yesterday from his camp in the Cottonwood Springs country.
 Tn my opinion the lIarcuvcr and Bill Williams Fork Mountains will vet prove to bc among the richest copper producing sections in the west,n Mir. Beckman said. "Some wonderful sur. face showings are to be seen there and everywhere that deep shafts have been sunk on the veins tho ore deposits have show great improvement in size and values as depth is gained, which goes to show that the country will be proven to he one of great mineral resource, as it's development progresses. A number of companies with ample capital are operating in different parts of it al. ready, and almost every week several mining men from other states come into the place in search of investment, rare 'y returning without becoming inter. ested in some promising property.
 "Some splendid ore is being taken out of the Carrigan," he continued. "and the company is working large force of men and making great head way in the development of the ground The double compartment shaft in the Rogers group, about three miles south of the Bill Williams River, is now down Co n depth of 100 feet. with al splendid showing of high grade copper and gold orc in the bottom. Work is also being pushed here and at several other camps in the immediate vicinity.
 "A large gasoline hoist is being in. stalled on property being developed by Thomas Finnegan for an eastern syndicate. In the shaft being sunk that will sample slO0 to the ton in copper. with small values in gold, and in the face of the drift following the vein the paystrcak shows n thickness of four feet of the same general char. actcr and value as that being taken from the shaft"
 Mir. Bcckman also told of what may develop into an important strike made on one of the claims of his Della group of mines, located about nine miles northwest of the town of Wcndcn. on the A. & C., upon which he started to sink n shaft recently, which is now twenty feet deep. When he started on the surface he found two inches of high grade copper and gold ore near the footwall. divided from another streak of similar ore by three feet of porphyrv. Al depth of twenty feet the footwall streak has widened out to one foot and the other to twenty inches. an average sample of both show ing copper and gold values of s65 to the ton. These vcinlcts are two of five found in n porphyry dyke, which can be traced for the length of three locn- tions, and which crop on the surface in various places. showing thickness of from six inches to one foot.
 The group, which consists of seven claims. is developed by number of shallow shafts, from some of wh'ci shipping ore has been mined and ship ped. The camp is easily reached iron wenden by good wagon road leading into the Bill Williams country.
