l |of honor at banquet on Thursday |evening, at the Yavapai Club, where number of business and professional men gathered to welcome him upon his | |rcturn from Kansas City. and exten their good will and best wishes for the | success of the London. Arizona Mining | company, of which Mir. Fnney is the general manager.
 As former manager of the Arizona 1 Smelling company at Humboldt, Mir | Finney became strongly identified with the mining interests of the county, and took n prominent part in all public movements designed for the upbuilding of this community. During his stay here he made many staunch friends, and it was n number of them who ss. sembled around the banquet board to greet and hear from him of the pros. poets of the new company, which he | organized several months ago, and which ne has been financing in Kan. sas City. Several of the gentlemen present were officers of the company, and majority of them are stockhold- | CTS, having invested in the enterprise solely because of their confidence in the judgment, experience and ability of Mr. Finney to bring the project 10 a successful conclusion.
 After the elaborate menu had been discussed, T. q. Norris, the senior coun. sel for tine London-Arizona, arose, and, in the capacity of toastmsster, initiated a season of speech making that was marked by the many kind words ex- | pressed for the guest of honor and con fdence in the fruition of his ambition to make the London Arizona one of the big copper mines of the world. In his remarks, Mir. Finney briefly recitcd the success that thus far attended his efforts in financing the company, and then confined himself to Q eulogy of | Arizona's supremacy as a mineral Ter. ritory, in the course of which he mar. rated some interesting facts. He stated that the entire production of gold in Nevada was tS,0O0,OOO last year, while one Arizona mine-the Copper Queen -alons paid dividends of tl2,OOO, 900. The mineral output of Yavapai county alone was greater than that of the entire state of Nevada, and the pro. dyetios of. Afizons was 70 per cent. of the gold output of .Ahe United stsses and Alaska. In his judgment, the Cop psr Queen is the greatest copper mine in the world, and he predicted that the London.Arixons would in the future rank as one of the great producers of that clas. In closing, Mr. Fnney urged the people of Prescott to bend their every energy to advertise the town and the marvellous mineral re- sources of this section.
 E. W. Brooks, the geologist and con sulting engineer of the London -Arixons gave an Interesting description of thu geological conditions that exist on tn, property, showing that the formation tAers h identical with that O. th' Copper Queen and other large eoppe1
 minss, in . soas that extends frou CAnansa northwest throush to tA' Uhitsd Verde and iAto Utah.
