Mitchell president and general manager, H. L. Brow, F. D. ElsOn, secretary and treasurer and Charles Benton the well known mining engineer and expert of Los Angeles, has made a thorough eX- animation and so encoura ging is the result that a wonderful shake up in mining activity is expected within the next few weeks.
 The officers of the mining company are very enthusiastic over the pros poets. Already Geo. Mitchell has bought and paid for the machinery for a smelter, which will be erected in the very near future.

 The mining country all through western Arizona especially on the A. and c. will be interested in the inn

 MT. Benton. who is a mining engi- neer, assaying chemist and general mining expert said with regard to the Clara 'I am very much impressed with the future of the camp. The size and quality of the veins are decidedly remarkable, showing a continuous out crop of over five miles. The ore bodies are of great size and value: under the new shaft in Signal. one of the group of mines, which is vertical and distnat from the old incline shaft some 400 feet, they are just breaking into a vein which will give a proven distance of about 500 feet of ore When you take into consideration that the cross cuts in the old shaft are over 100 feet with no wall, being all ore. is proves an immense body of mineral imme- diately available. The mine has been enlarged down to the 500 foot level and throughout is being equipped with larger machinery in order to handle the immense output of ore when the smelter shall have been erected"
