Irsr" sad (has. F.. flhhey, thc Iorm- manager of the big shelter plant, ,a uoo is now president of the Lon ,pAr1oui Copper company.
 Mt rinncy was in Prescott satur- ,v and he cheerfully expressed his now. n, To the future of the shelter. us had iu>t returned from a visit to eo.ou anl New York, and having met k,, mon who have taken hold of the lrsl,cr. he is in position to know the hr. of thc new management.
 "k W. Burridge," said he, "was kls general manager of the Amalgamat. d Copper company and was largely re- ltop.hle for the success of that cor ton,on. lIc is q very wealthy man ,3 own. one of the finest mansions in bs.adena. There is no question what ,ver in my mind but that the Consoli- IiHd Arizona Smelting company will !. pl,rrd ou firm financial basis Mir. fBeriis, knows that the only way to vsip The confidence of the investing |pubhr |, 'o place the plant in such n |tondi,ton that it will equal Amalgamat- ed a. au investment proposition. lt is |t1pec,,i that within short time ,he Consolidated Arizona will make needed additions to it's plant; it is ex- pe,tel that it will acquire other prop erie. that will supply it with huxing ore: and i' is expected that there will be ample capital to finance the large opera'ious which will be necessary t0 pu, The plan on n paying basis. Mr. Buuidgc is q man who has never made Ia failure. He is conservative in a strongly business sense and yet does bot hesitate to spend his money m Enterprise, of merit IL is fortunate for 'hc mineral interests of northern Arizona that he has become interested n thc ,msltcr. It means that there will be po lack of capital to give tho plant ihr necessary equipment and moreover there will be behind it tho be,, brains of the country.
 "Thc articles published in the Journ aMinr concerning the consolidating Of ihc Mumholdt shelter with the Bal aklala.

Yavapai county will rt eeiye the greatest advertising in 1t history and they know that in Arizon We have the greatest copper countr ir The world, and if any two men ur derstand coppers, they are Tom La" Son and A. w. Burridge.
 "Thcy will make the Humbold smelter a success because they have tn money to do it. and the knowledge an 'he experience. With sucn men as theS behind an enterprise, Prescott ought be the headquarters of the mining II dustry uf Arizona, if her citizens onl awake to their opportunities. Tn leads me to remark that the busine men of Phoenix have arranged to I'll ah excursion to Parker during the ne' fortnight Why don't the business m' Of Prescott get together and try to z the trade of the A.

Yet, m | mind am satisfied that Prescott
 better able to furnish mining suppl That any other city in Arizona.
