The copper era., 1907-12-12

John Molder, superintendent of the New York-Arizona Gold and Copper company, paid Clifton a visit thi: week and, as usual, brought in en couraging results from the property He reports that some rich silver ore carrying gold, was struck at the 175-level on the Lillian claim. In his opinion this will be a most important strike for the company as the ore has evidence of being permanent. Sink ing and drifting on ore has been pushed with good results since the new discovery. Work on other claims owned by the company is be- ing carried on with the same vim and energy as heretofore.

 The following article appeared in the last number of the Sou, hwestern Opportunities, d monthly magazine published at Fl Paso in the interests of the great southwest: "Mo-enci, Arizona, is just too mean to live. Right at the time when we were get ting used to long faces and telling how we could not pay our bills be- cause there was a scarcity of money, here comes the New York-Arizona, one of the many mines of Morenci, with great big lot of ore just rot ten with gold leaf, gold threads and gold chunks. If Morenci keeps up, and she seems to have the habit, she will beat Secretary Cortelyou in handling out the yellow money. The last strike runs $50, 1000 to the ton and the end is not in sight. Morenci was already a great mining camp, but she is just now setting a pace that is hard to follow. Morenci is not only rir htrf ha hac he la dure. Her ore supply is not a thing of today and tomorrow, but a great lasting increasing asset from which wealth will come this year and every ear for half a century at least. There is opportunity for safe invest ment and rich profit in the wonder camp of Arizona-.M -.Morenci.

 REPORTS from the City of Mexico are to the effect that E. H. Harri- man was compelled to borrow S1, ,OOO,- 900 from Mexican bank in order to meet couple monthly payrolls on the Guadala iara extension line of railroad. When such men as Harri- man cannot raise a million there is certainly some excuse for the little fellow not being able to raise a dollar.
