COMANCHE PRO- lTY
SOLD FOR 500 900

one of the biggest mining deals
in Grant county Cor lars occurred in
Silver City during the week when the
properties Of the Comanche Mining
and Smelling company were sold at
special masters sale for si15.S33.5t
to the savanna Copper company
The properties sold include the smelt-
ing plant at Silver City mines at Pi-
nos Altos and the fourteen mile mar
row gauge railway from Silver city
TO pinos Altos
The bid of the Savanna company
covered the amount of a loan made
by thar company to the Comanche
company some time ago
Organized some six years ago and
capitalized at 5000, 900. with some Of
the best mining men of Michigan and
Wisconsin at its head, the Comanche
bade fair to become one of the giant
mining corporations Of the southwest.
An enlargement in the management
of affairs eventually resulted in mis-
management and later the appoint
ment o. a receiver. The receiver. Mr.
Il. A. Wayne, was able to effect a
merger of the Comanche interests
WIN the interests Ol aliptfltr large
known as the Copper
Gulf company. operating in the Burro
mountains. The merger resulted in
the formation of the savanna Copper
and the exchange of Co
manche shares for shares in the new
at a fixed ratio. Practically
all of the Comanche stockholders
availed themselves of the opportunity
SO that today the reconstructed COM
pany contains eighty-three per cent
of the old Comanchc stockholders.
Now that the savanna Copper COM
pany is actually in possession of the
it is not too much to expect
that the smelter will be started short
ly.
II is understood the price bid on the
property lacks between $4,000 and
30 600 OF meeting the fun indebted
ness OF the Comanche company.
