 Prof. Treadwea is one of the best saowu nsaasiuEE>ists and aSologissS the United States, has been iden- flied with mary Of the large copper mines of the country, including the Comstock. NultlIre. United Verde at ierCmc. Cananea. Mexico. and others. He Is a most interesting conversations dist because of ais years of experi- auce in the mining business and his intimate acquaintance with the lead ing mining men and capitalists of the country. In speaking of his trip to Rouse and thu Clara Prof. Treadwell aid. This is 8 great country and 1 ike 1t very much. left New York December 2eth iu q blizzard and here it is just Ike summer. ] am going 10 arrange my affairs. after this, to pend all of my winters in Arizona. ' have been coming to Arizona for many years, end know the whole coun- try. I was out in this country several years ago aud looking over many Of yhe mines and prospects in the sur round ng mountains and l said then that this was q very rich country, but until a railroaG was built into the country so that tue ores could be taken out by railroad. that mining could not tse successfully carried on. NOW that you have the railroad the mines will be developed and you will undoubtedly have some of the richest and largest copper mines in the coun- try; also believe there will be rich geld mines developed in this country ! remember back iu 1864 when l was an assayer in San Francisco. the old Planet mine oB the Bill Williams Fork, about twenty miles north of Bouse was shipping gold ore They had to pack it by bUrTO from the mine to Bouse then on 10 EhreRburg on he Colorado River, thence by boat down through the Gulf of California, lround to San Francisco, and thence 3ly ocean steamer around the Horn to England where the ore was smelted, Nothing but picked ore running over SS00 per ton could be shipped at a Irofit. do not know what the Plan at is doing roV. bet then it was a rich property,
 T have known Of the Clara mine and the Signal and the other proper ts-s which haye been consolidated into the Clara Consolidated Gold &, Copper Mining coupany for sometime and have. known of their valuable ores and wieu George Mitchell came 70 me sometime ago and talked to me about the property 1 told aim that it would be TO gold until railroad was built into the country, but that hen I would take stock in the prop
 rty because It would be a success. nave not seen the property for some time until this trip and am extreme jy well pleased with what I have seen It is a great property. In fact it is .oiug to develop into one of the great st copper srOperties in ths country It is wortf S56 6.000,0O0 today. They are going to build 350-ton smelteI right away and there is already ore -nough blocked out and in sight tc run that snrtlts- for the next five oI -ix years. The copper runs in a car bonate near the surface and runs int' suIphides with depth. The ores or
 
 eight to fifteen per cent copper ana very rich in gold Iu fact one or TWO of the dumps win run over S20' in gold and all Of the ore which i. on the dumps and blocked out vii run from SIP to Si4 per ton gold 1T addition to Che copper, so you see th' Clara is the richest copper mine il inc country on account of the gold The United Verde has considerable gold in their ore but no ways nearll as much as the Clara. All of th' other eig copper properties have prac ricaHy no gold a5 compared with th' Clara
 "T nave known George Mitchell fol many years and he is one of the bes -melter men in the country. He mad t success at Jerome and then he wen 70 Caaanea where they were havinl
