general manager of that cOrpOrauO!l- M
mediateiy decided upon a thorough IN
Vestigatiou of the Blue Bird az Copper

Beaver county, with view 10 securing
them if possible. Accompanied by l.. \.
Morrison. who has the disposition OF the
ground for the owners. Mr.. Turner went
to camp and spent several days at lhaI
and surrounding mines. Convinced OF us
exceptional merit. he at once DECIDED 10
land il. and Just quickly set the wires
between here and New York at work
The cooperation sought was rendered,
and last night Mr. Turner left for the
east with the declaration that, before
returning. he would have organized
company TO take over the mines and be-
gin their systematic development

Franklin Once Had Property.
The property that ~. TuEnsr has taken
hold of was at oneetme beng handled
by DR. p. a. II. Franklin. but other than
TO nicely equip it with good- machinery
and good buildings. he ACCOMPLISHED but
little, and that i'm spite of fine reports
by competent engineers ana recommenda-
lions which. had they been followed,
would surely have resulted in making a
big mine Of the property long since, / a
fine double-cOmpartm smart Is down ~
depth of 600 feet. IL passed through
the vein at a depth of about 100 feeE
and on THAI level most of the work was
done. Here it was shown that the cop
per values had leached down. but toI
some reason or other the VEN was not
opened on the 60. This Is the first move
that Mr. Turner will make. though he
believes that the real mine VIII likely
be found nearer the 5G0-foot level. where
the redeposition of the values viii bt
found to have been complete. He eN-
poets To get good ore at the 311. but
when q depth of 800 TO 6j3 feet has been
attained he believes he will have one OF
the big mines of he county and state.
Mr.. Turner visited q number of tho
big properties while in the district and
paid some attention to others that looked
good but which had not attained prOmi-
nence. his idea being to get right M
Outstanding of the entire district Tie Is
satisfied now and he promises to do bis
share in bringing that section TO the
front
