ARIZONA AMALGAMATED COPPER COM
PANY.

ARIZONA AMALGAMATED COPPER COM
PANY.
During the past two months much
interest has been manifested as tt
the responsibility and intention Of
the Arizona Amalgamated Copper
company, which has taken over 19l
mining claims in this district, among
which there are some of the best
properties in the Clifton Morenci dis
tr c.. Many local people have beer
of the opinion that the company would
not enter this district, but recent
developments have disposed of al
suspicion. The company has met all
obligations in the way of payment:
up to the present date, having ex-
pended $50, 900 in payment of claims
large amount of which was received
by local parties. In addition to this
some thing like S15, 200 has been ex-
pended on development work and
more extensive operations are to be
commenced. The Amalgamated com.
pany is beyond doubt the strongest
company that has ever entered the
district, and is launched into our
midst with wonderful future. as it
has magnificent holding of claims,
composed of the best property obtain
able in the district and which has been
accepted upon the advice of engineers
and mining experts of reputa ton and
ability, who spent some time on the
ground making examinations and
taking numberless assays.
los of the claims are located in the
vicinity of Metcalf and 80 OF them
are located near Morenci, giving the
company a most extensive holding in
the heart of the mineral zone of the
district. The claims are all COM
paratively full claims and from some
of them there has been Considera BILE
high grade ore shipped, netting good
returns. In addition to the property
in this district, the company, has
taken over the Signal Copper COM
pany claims, located in Mohave coun-
ty, on the Bill Williams Fork of the
Colorado, This is a valuable piece of
property upon which there are vast
bodies of self-huxing ore that will
average all the way from 6 to 20 per
cent copper. The Amalgamated CON-
pauy will erect a smelling plant on
this property as it has passed the ex-
detrimental stage, much development
work having been done by previous
owners.
2OO,OO shares of stock have been
placed on the eastern market at $500
per share, and for the benefit of local
parties who are interested in and ac-
quainted with the properties small
portion of this issue will be sent to
| Clifton. The most of this stock has
already been taken, hence those who
desire stock will have to speak early,
Another block will be put on the mar
ket about June LIST at $500 per share
The company will have such men
as Messrs. Taylor, of Bridgeport
Conn, Townbridge, of New York
Everett, of Cleveland, Andrew Grim
way, of London, and Monroe and Lea
witt, of New York, all men of con
siderable wealth and high standing il

The Gold Belt Development and
Reduction company this week ship
ped a carload of copper ore to the
Shannon smelter, which has already
arrived and will be treated at once.
The shipment consisted of about 20
tons of ore which came from the cop
per shaft and will go about 20 per
cent or better. This is the second
shipment of copper ore that has been
made and upon the installation of the
new 10 horsepower hoist the company
will be enabled to handle ore more
rapidly. The hoist will be in opera
tion in a short time, which in addition
to the heavy team which was recent
ly purchased by the company, will put
them in shape to take care of them
selves without issuing any more stock
except for the erection of a mill
which may be considered in a short
time. Manager Beauchamp was in
town this week and purchased 200
sacks which will be used for sacking
lot of high grade gold ore to be
shipped to Ell Paso for treatment
The company is confident of hand
some returns on this shipment and
will send an expert assayer along
to look after the interests of the
company.

L. Ferber. Clifton's popular stock
broker, visited the mines of the New
York-Arizona Gold and Copper COM
pany last Sunday and made a thor
ough inspection of the property own
ed by the company. He returned
home well pleased and found the
property to be exactly as represented
by those who are promoting the new
company. He saw many tons of gold
ore piled on the dumps. He reports
much work having been done ON the
property and thinks that the com
pany will meet with success. All
that is required is the expenditure of
capital in development work. The
company has placed a small block of
stock on the market which will be
sold at Is cents per share. All the
money derived from the sale of this
stock will be used in development
work. A handsome prospectus will
be in circulation in a short time,
which will outline the objects of the
company and give a thorough de-
scription of the claims. 1t will be
nicely illustrated with photographs of
the country in which the claims are
located.
