THE coeRALtA COMPANY has
been organized to operate the we'll
known Cobralla group of mines 70
claims), located in the Harcuvar
Mountains, nine miles northwest of
Saome, Yuma County, Arizona. This
is the district recently opened up by
the building of the Arizona G. Cali
fornia railroad from Wickenburq west
to Parker, known for some time to be
one of the richest mineral belts in
the Southwest, but formerly inacces-
sibIe on account of the great distance
from transportation facilities. This
district was the scene of many new
strikes last summer and considerable
development, prominent among TIE
important new discoveries being the
discovery of high grade soId-sIver
copper ores in the limestone and
schist belt where the CobraIIa and
adioining groups are now located. De-
velopment work progressed during the
past summer and winter, despite the
unfaVorabIe financial times, and this
spring the permanent sulphide ores
were opened up on the North Lime
Hill claim of the CobraIla group, in a
limestone formation cross cut by in
trusive dikes; the great extent and
regularity of which, together with the
nature of the ores now opened up, as
sure the permanence of the property.
The "Cobralla formation" is a series
of schists, quartzsites and Iimestones,
resting upon the northerIy slope of
the Harcuvars and forming irregular
low foothills soping out into the

through the CobralIa formation, tilt

west, parallel to the main range.
accompanied or soon followed by large
intrusons of porphyry into and be-
tween the Iimestones and schists, gen.
orally conforming to the dip and
strike of the CobralIa formation, and
accompanied by very pronounced con-
tact metamorphism of the imestones
and schists. The main granite range
as we'll as the entire cobraIIa forma-
ton has since been intruded by a
very regular and extensive series of
diorite and diabase cross dikes, rang
ing from few feet to over hum
dred in width and many of them sew
eraI miles long It is to these intru-
sives that the ore bodies undoubt

Summary

LIST. The cobrslla Company OWNS
the CobralIa group of mines.
End. The cobraIIa group of mines
stands as security behind every share
of Preferred Stock issued, as a guar
antee of the principal and interest.
3rd. AT So A SHARE coeRALLA
PREFERRED WILL NET YOU 1910
PER ANNUM UPON THE AMOUNT
ACTUALLY INVESTED.
4th. For a short time you will re-
ceive as a bonus, FREE OF ALL
COST, one share of Cobralla Common
with every share of cobraIIa Pre-
ferred.
9Th. As an interest bearing Invest
ment Security CobralIa Preferred can
not be duplicated in the West today
and when making this investment you
receive absolutely free of cost the
CobraIla Common, a speculative stock
which will undoubtedly become a big
dividend payer as soon as the prop
erty is fully equipped and operating.
9th. The cobralIa Company is not
a validating concern offering you a
thousand dollars for every dime in
vested or any such impossibility. The
cobraIIa Preferred is simply clean
cut Investment Security bearing a
high rate of interest, and carrying
with it a bonus of Common Stock
without further cost to you.

was the means whereby the circulat-
ing mineral bearing solutions were
allowed access to the location of the
present ore bodies. The limestones
of the Cobrala formation, forming
three distinct reefs from thirty 10
over a hundred feet in width, and
over a mile in length, have, by their
porosity and chemically favorable
precipitating nature, given the ore So
lutons an ideal opportunity to de-
post immense bodies of ore-and the
development done during the past
year has demonstrated their existence,
particularly upon the Lime Hill and
North Lime Hill claims, where ore
has been shown up for over 1900 feet
in length and from a few feet to over
fifty feet in width, while the sulphide
ores secently opened up in the lime
stone demonstrates the permanency
of the deposits, and the value of these
ores is unsurpassed by that of any
mine in Arizona in a similar forma-
ton and of equal size. Assays across
the face of a drift on the North
Lime Hill claim in suphide ore av-
eraged s14 gold, 6.5 OF. silver and ,
9.5l5 copper, a total value at the
present value of silver and copper
of about $40 a ton. Selected samples
of higher grade ore assayed over 5000
a ton in gold, silver and copper. The
ore is an ideal concentrating ore, be-
ing chaIcoPyrite and bornte in blue
lin estone eangue, and rough pan

Sis gold, 38.5 OF. silver and 48.5Ct
copper, total value for the concen
tra.es of about $3.50 ton, even at
the present low price of copper and
silver. AS the groupings on the sur
face where this ore comes from are
over thirty feet in width and this is
the smallest of the three reefs, all of
which chow carbonate ores on the

Co1ralla proposition can readily be
appreciated, and quickly is by every
ono who visits the property.
The former owners of the Cobralia
group did not wish to sell the prop
erty but the cobralla Company, by
issuing them stock in the company,
has secured and now owns the Co.
braIa group of nine fulIsized claims,
1870 acres in all. The Cobralla Com
parry owns the CobralIa group and
has paid for the same. The cobralIa
Company is not working the CobralIa
group under any option or bond but
owns the property and every one in

group of mines and need new
err worry or lose any sleep for
fear that the company may not
be able to meet future pay
ments due and lose the property,
as is often the case. Panics or hard
times cannot affect the cobralIa
Company because the Company owns
its mines and can always operate
the same on scale commensurate
with the times and its own finances.
The CobralIa Company has been
organized with a capital of 100000
shares of par value of $40 each,
of which 25,o0o shares are 30 Pre-
ferred Stock and 5000 shares Com
mon Stock. The property has been
purchased and paid Tor, there has
been no promotion of stock whatever,
every share issued has been paid for,
and 100000 in Common Stock has
been placed in the Company Treas
ury to be given as bonus with the
first issue of Preferred Stock, in or
der to make this Investment Security
attractive to investors so that active
development and operation can be
continued.
The par value of the Preferred
Stock is SO a share and it draws 81
interest upon the par value, payable
out of the earnings of the Company
before any dividends are paid upon
the Common Stock, and the Preferred
Stock is redeemable at par. On &C
count of the present financial strn-
gency the Directors have made a
small allotment of Preferred Stock, to
be sold at SO a share, which will
make it net the investor 1917 annu-
ally upon the amount actually in
vested, and, when redeemed, he will
receive $40 for every So invested in
addition to the interest. To make
the Investment doubIy attractive, the
company for a short time will give
one share of Common Stock of par
value of $40 as bonus with every
share of Preferred Stock sold. This
Common Stock will receive a pro rata
share in all the earnings of the Com
pany after the Preferred Stock has
been taken care of, and should even
tuaIIy become more valuable than the
Preferred Stock, which is practically
a First Mortgage Bond upon the
property and takes precedence over
the Common Stock; but inasmuch as
the earnings of the Company, when
the property is fully equipped and
operating, should be far in excess of
the amount necessary to take care of
the Preferred Stock, the Common
Stock, though speculative, should be-
come the more valuable. As the for
mer owners of the property have TAX

ate the property SO as to produce
