PEOPLE HAVE
 BIG INTERESTS IN SOUTHWEST

294. 900 outstanding shares, the Phelps Dodge people own the Indiana and So- nora property in Cananea, and the Commercial property in Phoenix, Ariz., but these two properties have never returned profits, though Professor Douglas has great faith that they will in time develop into important pro- ducers.
 Professor Douglas is particularly strong in his opinion of the United Globe, which is part of the Old Do- minion. He believes that in this ter ritory will be found large ore reserves and that in time it will prove the big end of the Old Dominion company. It has never been developed below a few hundred feet under the surface until last year, when drifts were run into the territory through the Old Do- minion property at depth of 1000 to 1900 feet. following the main Old Do- minion vein in the United Globe ground and finding it rich.
 Opinion is expressed by people hay ing an acquaintance with Phelps. Dodge affairs that. with the retirement of Professor Douglas who is now so well along in years that he cannot eX- pect to remain in the harness much longer. the present active interests will retire from the copper business, but continue in the railroad business. Such retirement therefore might re, suit in the sale of the famous Phelps Dodge properties and other copper III,
 terests, though there is no present indication of either retirement on part of President Douglas, or sale.

WINCHESTER. Ariz-. July 1T.- Another rich gold strike has been made in the Winchester district. which is likely to prove a bonanza. It was made by W. G. Read of Ros- well, New Mexico, on the group Of claims which he recently bought from Mccarthy and associates. This group of claims is located about half a mile east of the desert wnl and the old Desert mine. and on the same porphyry dike- The strike was made in erosscut tunnel, which is now in about forty feet. This tunnel has cut four good ledgcs of quartz, the widest being six feet in width and the narrowest two feet. Each of these lodges of uartz carry rich valtfes in gold and silver, also good values in lead. The lead is in the form of galena. The quartz ledg' es are found in lime. schist near the big porphyry dike, with strong in6i' cations that the four lodges are simply branches of the main ledge, which will be found lower down. Assays taken from these lodges run as high as $40 in gold across the ledge. Many fine specimens have been found and the entire vein mater pans goou strings of both coarse and fine gold. The vein mater is composed of quartz and rich oxide, with small traces oi copper and large quantities of lead The importance of this strike is that it is found on the contact between the schist and porphyry. MT. Read and his associates will soon begin perm anent development work on this prop. erty, the present tunnel being a dis. covery tunnel to determine the quan- tity of vein matter and its value.
 The Read claims are on the east side of the big white porphyry dike and on the same side as the Sitting Bull and about 1000 feet from that property.

 BOSTON, July 17-Since the orgah- ization of the firm of Phelps, Dodge 6 Co. into a corporation, there have been transactions in but three hun dred shares, the last sale being made at s200 and that price is now bid.
 The James family hold complete control of the stock of this company, while the Douglas family holds about 10 per cent ownership in the con- pany.
 It is now paying dividends at the rate of s1o per share per annum in quarterly payments of s2.50 per share and earning safe margin above that figure with copper at 13 cents and with various miscellaneous sources of income.
 The Phelps-Dodge people have large interests in mining and railroads in the southwest which are not in the new company, including the Fl Paso and Southwestern system of railroads. which is controlled by the James fam fly.
 Young James pays more attention to the railroad end of the business than to the copper end, Professor James Douglas being the copper man of the company. Young James Doug. las who has been in charge of the Moctezuma property at Nacozari, left the employ of Phelps-Dodge & Go last May and is now in business for himself.

 The formation, both in the shaft and drift, is black quartz carrying quan- titles of Iron Sulphide, bearing gold. silver and copper. The formation in the drift has become a little softer where the Bornite is showing and the miners working there, are greatly en- couraged over the outlook, from the fact that there are forty-fiye men working on this property, and they are being paid in stock
 The manager is a very just and con servative man and knows the mining business from locating to refining.
 The irrigation project is one of he big features of this company and with out ay doubt will be started within the next twelve months.

The ore is all free milling. and practically all the values can be extracted by anal gamation and cyaniding.

 The Ben Hur group of fifteen claims are located in the granite hills of the Granite Wash noun tains, between Yicksburg and Salome. and belong to Al Alger. one of the owners of the Glory Hole. This group has been bonded to J. D. Mitchell and Abe Matthews and their associates for sl5.00O. This property Is located alongside of the railroad. near the tunnel. Considerable development work has been done on the property, and there is a carload of ore now on the dump which will be shipped soon. It is the intention of the new owners of the property to begin active development work at once.
