JEROME VERDE ON MARKET
Opportunity offered to Secure Stock
in New Copper Company
Propositio

William Holly and Jacob Meyer of
the General Securities company have
been selected to finance the great
Jerome Verde" copper mine. This
mine is located directly alongside of
the famous UNITED Verde" than
which there Is not a greater producer
in the country today.
The shaft Of the Jerome mine is down
AIS feet. At the 135-foot level there
is an ore body ten feet wide. AT
seventy-five feet a great cut runs
north fifty feet and intersects an east
and west lode which is five feet be-
tween walls. 1t also extends south
fifty feet through lime rock which is
heavily impregnated with copper. The
second level strikes west of north and
intersects an east and west lode of
what is considered more than a fair
grade of copper ore. Many tons of
ore are stopped out at this point to
a height of twenty-five feet in width
to seventy feet in length, with an
average width of four feet.
This all means wealth and in unlim-
tied quantities of copper. Taking the
report of the engineer into considera-
tlon, together with the fact that Je-
rome Verde joins United Verde, the
stock of which cannot be bought at
any price, the new venture of Messrs.
Holly, and Meyer looks very good, to
say the least
A limited amount of this stock Is
soon to be placed on the market.

SANTA MONICA COMPANY IS

Knights of Pythias to Build $4,000
Home at AIhambra-Flve-Story
Warehouse on New
High Street

The statement is made by the Out
look at Santa Monica that a magni-
ficent and splendidly appointed hotel
will soon be erected in the Palisades
district. 1t is stated land has been
leased and a company formed to carry
out plans for 100000 structure. Paul
Morton and other New York capital
lists are said to be the promoters. The
location is ideal, where only fine resi-
dences can be constructed. The build
ing restrictions are so high there and
the lots so expensive that only the
very best homes will be built in that
part of the city.
The site selected for the hoStelry is
the one that became famous in the
early days of the eighteenth century
as the home of the pioneer Castilian
settlers of the beach. 1t was the site
Of the first adobe house built at Santa
Monica. That house was torn down
only few weeks ago, after an effort
was made to have the Reclamation
society interest itself in reclain1ing the
relic of another civilization.

LUCKY STRIKE
BY LOCAL FIRM
DISCOVERY OF RICH MICA MINE
IN GEORGIA
Samples Of the Valuable Product Now
In Los Anqeles--Bg Company
Forming for Develops
ment Purposes

Live in Los Angeles and you will
wear diamonds.
The Angel city Is the place where
people do big things, and where the
lucky and prosperous people of the
land abide.
The latest proof of this statement
is found in the recent find" made by
a representative Of the well known
real estate firm of II. l.. Miller q Co,
doing business at Ala West Seventh
street. The firm Includes H. l.. Miller,
A. M. Pike, Il. M. Miller and c. d.
York.
This firm is now the owner of the
second largest mica mine in the world,
recently discovered and claimed to be
as rich in value as any gold mine IN
the country.
The valuable property is located in
Tanning county, state of Georgia, in
the range of the Blue Ridge noun
tains It's miles north of Atlanta, ad-
Joining North Carolina, in which last
named state has been worked success
fully the only mica mine In this coun-
try.
The lucky discovery of the new mica
mine was made by Mr.. York, who
started from Chicago, accompanied by
an expert engineer, to prospect for
mica. They located the property de-
scribed and H. L. Miller & Co. have
acquired all rights to the mica-bear-
ing land which Is to be at once de-
veloped on an extensive scale.
Mi. York has arrived In Los An
geles with about 200 pounds of fine
samples of mica taken from the mine,
selected by himself and the engineer.
These samples are now at the COM
panys office, and have attracted a
great deal of attention.
Work on the mine development began
about a month ago, and there are now
about six tons of the valuable product
four men and an OK team are used In
the preliminary work. This force
takes out about one-half ton of mica
a day. Pick and shovel ARE used, and
great care has to be exercised in
handling the product.
Mica is q class of silicates having a
prismatic angle Of 12O degrees, emf
nently perfect basal cleavage, afford
ing thin, tough scales, colorless to jet
black, transparent to translucent, of
widely varying composition and crys-
tallizing in the monoclinic system.
Mica is sometimes called isinglass.
Mica is used by electric light and
other companies for the purpose of
high class insulation, and 1t is also
used for lubricating and other pur-
poses. Good mica runs in value from
go cents to $14 per pound and waste
or fine mica which is ground up for
lubricating use, sells readily at to
6 cents a pound.
The holdings of H. L. Miller & Co.
are of immense value to the CONNER
cial interests Of the country, and will
not fail to net the owners many mil
lions Of dollars.
1t is stated that ninety per cent of
the mica used in the United States is
imported from India, and that the
large output of the only other mine
in this country in the state Of North
Carolina is far insufficient to supply
the demand
H. L. Miller & Co. are receiving the
congratulations of their many busi-
ness and social friends, and there is
quite a scramble among investors in
Southern California to get in on the
ground floor in the mica mine COM
pany that is soon to be Incorporated.
