GREENWATER DEAL
SEEMS CERTAIN
DISPATCH RECEIVED IN TONO-
PAH WOULD INDICATE ITS
CONSERVATION.

by Messrs. Kirby, Lamb & Stoneham,
which practically confirms the state
ment published exclusively in the
Daily Bononza of December 18th,
relative to the consolidation of i'm
p%ortant Grecnwater properties. The
wire is dated at New York on De-
cember 11th, although it was not re-
ceived here until today. According
to the dispatch the merger of the
Greenwater and Death Valley and
the United Copper companies should
have been completed but the abb
sence of Geographic communication
has prevented the receipt of informa-
ton relative thereto. 1t is also UNI
edrstood that another property of
large acreage and which adjoins the
Greenwater and Death Valley ground
is likely to be included in the deal.
The Greenwater and Death Valley
ground is reputed to have the finest
surface showing in the desert. 1t is
composed of about 16 claims and :
fractions. The United in a measure
surrounds the Greenwater and Death
Valley property and while not hav-
ing so great a surface showing of the
latter nevertheless, the surface indi-
cations are most promising. The
United Group consists of IL claims
and 8 fractions.
The work on both these properties
has been going steadily on and at
present on the Wanda claim of the
United, the shaft is down so feet,
the last Is feet being in high grade
ore. Work is now progressing on a
double compartment shaft that is
behg sunk on Copper Glance No. 2
OF the Greenwater and Death Valley
property the shaft is down 1870 feet
and it will be timbered from the
bottom up. A 25-horse power hoist
is on the ground and a gallows frame
is being erected. A 15-horse power
hoist has been installed and a gall
lows frame erected on Copper
Glance No 3 and are now in opera
ton. The shaft at this point is an
incline one although with the in
stallation Of the machinery it is be-
ing changed to a vertical one. A
50-horse power hoist is being in
stalled on the Copper Queen No. 2,
and before the end of this month 1t
is likely thar all three hoists will be
in operation Two 25-horse power
hoists have been ordered for the
United Copper company, and if not
this month they will surely be wor6
ing In January
The well which is being driven is
down 200 feet through gravel. 1t
is generally thought that water will
go deeper. 1t is estimated that the
flow which Is expected will be amply
sufficient tc supply all the needs both
of the Death Valley and United com
panies.
This consolidation is of great in
terest to many especially when 1t is
considered that 1t was the organiza-
ton of the Greenwater and Death
Valley Copper company that gave

When It is fully understood what
are the plans of the consolidated
company the great advantages of the
merger will be quickly appreciated
and the stock of the companies will
go far above their present market
prices.
F. A. Keith, president, and Donald
GILES. vice president and gem
eral manager of the Greenwater
and Death Valley company, as well
as Malcom Mcdonald, president of
the United Copper company, are
both in New York and there is no
question that they are back OF this
important deal. The properties
which were recently asked for by
Mr.. GILES of the Death Valley COM
pany and Mr.. Mcdonald of the
United no doubt have a great bear
ing upon the reported consolidation.
There is absolutely no doubt OF
the great values of these properties
especially the Greenwater and
Death Valley. IT was in con-
neetion wit hthis ground that w. w.
